According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, Hasbro has filed for fourteen new trademark applications for Transformers. This is typically done when Hasbro wants to exclusively secure a new for present or future use. Some of the fourteen names are being used for obvious reasons (already announced Animated and Universe figures), but several of these names are being trademarked for unknown and unannounced use. Could some of these be figures for characters in the upcoming sequel?…
Autobot Camshaft - Autobot Wheelie - Scrapper - Autobot Cosmos - Autobot Blades - Decepticon Bludgeon - Decepticon Heavy Load - Mudflap - Brawn - Oil Slick - Mixmaster - Blitzwing - Lugnut - Warpath (TFW2005.com)



The opening of Transformers 2 takes place at a Steel Factory in Shanghai, China, the Autobots, the British SAS (Matthew Marsden as “Graham” and Andrew Howard) and Captain Lennox’s Military team (Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson) are chasing after a Decepticon Audi RS8. (Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are not featured in the opening chase sequence). Included with the Autobots are a pair of robots called The Twins, when they transform they join together to form a pink and white Ice Cream Van. Also involved in the chase is a hot pink superbike, with black highlights which turns into the Autobot Arcee along with a few others. (Slash Film)


The site also had word that the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum scene takes place much later into the movie. Bumblebee and The Twins are left in the parking lot as Sam, Mikaela, Sam’s college roommate/friend Leo, and Sector 7 Agent Simmons distract the guards and break into the Smithsonian after dark. Simmons uses a radiation tracker to find a SR-71 Blackbird (pictured) in the museum. Sam uses something called the “Splinter” to activate the SR-71, which transforms into Jetfire. (Slash Film)


Arcee, the female Transformer, doesn’t die in the movie — instead, she doesn’t show up until later on, and she spends most of her time in robot form instead of her three-motorcycles version. Only one character combines with an Autobot to make a bigger robot. The Constructicon is nine vehicles put together, but it’ll only put in a brief appearance. Scorponok is back, and he uses his internal “spark” to restore life to one of the Decepticons. (Gosh, which one could it be?) [Seibertron]


Soundwave is black, and does not have an Earth mode. And the Decepticons mention Soundwave during their discussions. [Seibertron]


The Constructicons join together to form Devastator more than once. Jetfire starts off as a Destructicon and then changes sides. Also, John Turturro’s character dies at last. Optimus Prime “has a scene with a trailer.” And Ravage is actually a biological weapon, and there’s no Laserbeak. The ice cream truck, the Chevy Volt, and the Hummer HX are not Transformers. And Megatron doesn’t return (possibly as a tank) until the end of the movie — when Soundwave resurrects him. [Seibertron]


“The Fallen” is an old Cybertronian legend — it’s not one robot but a whole army of robots who are supposed to protect the Cube. When Sam goes bonkers and starts talking gibberish, he’s actually reciting Cybertronian hieroglyphics prophesying the return of the Fallen. (TFW2005)


The character of Alice (Isabel Lucas) “is a Pretender.” Wikipedia reminds us that, “a Pretender is a Cybertonian who can inhabit or exist alongside a remotely controlled robotic shell. This shell can appear humanoid, alien, monstrous or have a vehiclular form. Some advanced pretenders shells can even transform between several forms or combine with their controller’s vehicle form. Others can shrink in size to pass for real humans or animals.”
TFW2005 claims that Alice’s shell “will be an attractive human woman while the inner robot is best described as a hybrid of the Frenzy robot design from the first movie. The Pretender Transformer will have an arm that transforms into an energy weapon, a long tongue, and a scanning tenticle [sic].” (TFW2005)




And last but not least, my favorite Transformers 2 rumor is the very real possibility that Howard Stern wack-pack member “Beetlejuice” (AKA Lester Green) might appear in the film, as he has been photographed on set. (TransformersLive)

Well have they even had anything close to a teaser or a trailer yet? Because this movie is suppose to be released this coming summer which I believe is June 26th? If I don't see a trailer before end of the year I can see this being pushed back to maybe September.

[Forever Atlas]

I figure we'll get something either by the end of the year or early next year since they finished filming recently .

However, I've noticed recently that movies have been releasing their trailers closer to premier dates.

[blinkboy211]

Not really. Pretty much all movies have been following the same trend of releasing a teaser or a regular trailer withing 6 months to a year of the movie. Then releasing a real trailer between the release and 6 months. This is typical and Transformers will follow the same pattern.

Yep.:thumbup:

[Shadow Fenix]

I heard the Teaser will be released in May. One month before the release, and it's only the damn teaser trailer. Gay

They won't do that because they will want to put out more advertising on the movie instead of waiting only a month before to start. They will start showing trailers for the movie on tv in the last month, but if they still plan on releasing the movie in June we will see a trailer in December or early January. I say latest will be when Dark Knight goes back in theators in January they will put the Transformers trailer with it.

[Shadow Fenix]

Or on the DVD or something. But I distinctly heard somewhere (dammit I forgot, it was awhile back) that the teaser would release with Star Trek in May

[blinkboy211]

Dude logic says that is way to late to start trying to start with advertising your movie. Start getting people excited now and you will thus guarantee sales in the box office.
