transformers 2 character banners

Paramount Pictures has premiered three new character posters for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on Yahoo Movies. Optimus Prime is joined in the posters by Starscream and Bumblebee. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits theaters on June 24th 2009.

Also, our friends at Latino Review found an interview with Transformers scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci in the latest issue of Creative Screenwriting Magazine where they provide some new information about the film’s plot. Warning: possible spoilers follow:

When the story begins, the Autobots and the military have been waging a secret war against the Decpticons. As more of the giant robots continue to resurface, though, it becomes apparent the Transformers have been part of Earth’s history for longer than they’d led mankind to believe. One group of bureaucrats even womders if the Decepticons are only appearing because of the Autobot presence. Desperate not to leave Earth undefended, Optimus Prime turns to Sam and asks him to become a human advocate, someone who will convince mankind that the Autobots should be allowed to saty. Sam refuses to believe he can help, though, wanting to go to college and live a normal life - as normal as possible with the strange thoughts and visions that have haunted him since being exposed to the All Spark’s primal energies two years earlier. Alas, Sam’s refusal will have harsh consequences for himself, the Autobots and possibly the entire world. The Decepticons fallen leader, Megatron has been resurrected and brings with him an ancient evil from the Transformers own history.

Of course, they are talking about The Fallen, the film’s title character.

    =/ Riiiiiight.......
  • Last time I Checked, this site wasn't perezhilton.com
  • It's interesting that they have Starscream. Perhaps he's a big part of the story this time around.
  • ****
    He will have a bigger role....he fights Megatron ;) shhhhh......
  • OOOOOooh, scandalous....
  • Optimus's poster is completely badass! The smoke off Bumblebees gun is a nice touch though.

    Is it just me or does Megatron look different from the first film?
  • Bro Montana
    It's not megatron, it's starscream
  • ****
    Your correct, Megatron is different in this film. In order to revive him, the decepticons had to make a few modefications. Megatron is now a Cybertronian tank, if you look closely he has treads for feet.
  • loretta johnson
    wow shia was right. they did let the robots film on the pyramids.
  • Kelt
    Hmm wonder if this means that Starscream will have a much bigger role in this movie...hope so!
  • The Dilation
    Yes he will, in between the first and RotF, Starscream went to Cybertron and raised his own army which he brings back to Earth. So, from my understanding we'll have the Autobots (and humans) vs. Starscream (and his army) vs. Megatron (and his followers) vs. The Fallen.

    60 plus robots.
  • Badass. I think the license plate on Bumblebee is hilarious.
  • Dvq
    just remove the background and the subtitle "Revenge of the Fallen" and its the same crap, also, feels kinda monotonic.
  • Presto117
    no shit, sherlock.

    if you remove the background and the "revenge" part they're just big robots, it's not like they're gonna change much from the first film.

    if you take any spider-man poster (besides the symbiote/villain ones), you can add a "2" or "3" or take those out and they could be for any of the films.

    Awesome
  • jd12
    no, i said gay to said fail
  • I'm interested to see hoe the strange 'thoughts and visions' part turns out, because I thought that was the weakest part of the new trailer... Bring on June 24!
  • matt
    Haha, you've gotta love character design that leaves so many people going "eh? who's that? Megatron?". Optimus and BB are only distinguishable because of their colouring.
  • Kelt
    Only someone who is as blind as a bat would mistake Starscreams design for Megatron
  • YouDon'tKnowMe
    I agree with matt. Megaterd, Starsperm - they all look the same too me. And when the robots fight, it's just a blurry cloud of metal rolling around. It's like the action sequences in "Batman Begins" - you can't tell what the hell is going on. They mine as well just use the "dust clouds" cartoons use when the characters fight and roll around. with each other.
  • optimusprime
    cool posters. I like the OP poster more, he just looks so mean.
  • I SO wish Optimus' mouth-guard-plate-thing was over hsi mouth all the time. He has lips when he talks in these films... so lame Anyway I'm still excited for this and these character posters are surprisingly refreshing,
  • starscream9289
    Hell Yeah! Bring on Starscream vs. Megatron!
  • Ryan's a dipshit
    For the first film, they said they gave the robots mouths was because it wouldn't be believable/boring to watch a head talk without a mouth. Which does make sense.
  • well they didn't give one to Bubblebee (who kinda talked) and he's one of the main bot.
  • is that starscream or megatron on the left?
  • starscream
  • the main reason why I liked Prime as a kid is because he didnt' have a real mouth (just a plate). Bay kinda ruined that.
  • Geist
    I hope Starscream doesn't die but if he does he better come back as a ghost!
  • sockatume
    I'd be worried about letting the Transformers saty. They might have a peanut allergy.
  • Scott
    I seem to remember Michael Bay saying Megatron wasn't in this one... Is Michael Bay working with the same people that said that the theatrical Wolverine would be different?
  • Niro 22
    First dvq, u said if you take away the new story and the new background and the new characters and the new title it would just be the same thing. That is what a sequel is man. The movie looks great but just like any other remake they are going to change things. Early fans hate it but that is because we are use to another story. The truth is it has to be different or there would not be a point in remaking it. If you love transformers then you should be more then happy and how much these movies are keeping the seris alive.
  • alexk

  • I Think this sequence will be a big 'HIT'
