This all seems a bit bit thin, TFW2005 showing an image dug up from what as best as I can tell is a Japanese toy forum, is this really [[WP:RS]] and warrant inclusion in the article? [[User:Oosh|Oosh]] ([[User talk:Oosh|talk]]) 23:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

:Two things will either happen; Bay will say Devastator will look slightly different when rendered on screen, pleased fans have responded well to his 120 feet tall robotic gorilla; or Hasbro will request TFW2005 remove the image or risk their unofficial ties. I have yet to see a truly fake piece of concept art; this confirms and validates (or, as some may see it, validated by) the rumours that Devastator was a multi-coloured behemoth shaped like a gorilla, formed by a red excavator, a yellow crane, a massive turbine formed by a concrete mixer, and a green dump truck designed by Josh Nizzi for a leg. :) [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 13:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

::::What's that motto, "verifiability, not truth, is the threshold of Wikipedia"? According to all news sites, this is a leaked promotional image of Devastator, and the same pic of him is being used on a background with Megatron and the Fallen. It doesn't matter who found it first, there's an image of Devastator and we don't know the filmmakers rejected this design (like Soundwave's Silverado form, or Megatron's original narrow head that appeared on all the merchandise for the first film).

== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Review#A-Class review|A-Class review]] for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films|WikiProject Films]] ==
==SEVEN Constructicons officially named now?==
The licensed Transformers Collectors Club has boxed pictures of Constructicons named Demolishor (the red Terex excavator, body) and Rampage (the yellow Caterpiller bulldozer, left leg) on their web site. <ref>http://www.transformersclub.com/toyfair09/TFmainline09.html</ref> So we seem to have verifiable names for these two guys. Also, these vehicle modes and colors match that "leaked" list from a while ago. This site is licensed by Hasbro, so it seems official enough to be a source. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 14:27, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, I had implemented that but for some reason it got reverted, probably got lost in a revert to other edits adding rumours. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 15:09, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
::Do we have any official source on the four Constructicion names? I know some TF sites have called them Mixmaster, Long Haul, Hightower and Scrapper, but I don't recall seeing it from an OFFICIAL source yet. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 23:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Long Haul's Robot Heroes figure is named as such in TFCC's site. The other three though, there's an issue, it seems TFormers might have assumed they would have their G1 names but it's verifiable per Wikipolicy as the article was Toy Fair related. Might be worth keeping until a better source contradicts it, I doubt the mixer truck will have a different name. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 11:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
::::I was doubting that they will use the name Mixmaster because Hasbro's legal department hasn't okayed the use of Mixmaster on a toy name since 1993. They keep calling homages to Mixmaster in other lines by the name Quickmix (the Universe Constructicons 2004), or leaving Mixmaster out of the set (like Classics 2007). I'm hoping maybe they got permission to use something like "Decepticon Mixmaster" [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 12:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
:We have photos of a toy for 'Long Haul" now <ref>http://www.tf08.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=244&sid=f2f179ba4a44aae91af0f925cf6758e5</ref>, which isn't much of a surprise, he's been the name of a member of every Construction group except ''Energon'' (where he was Long Haul in Japan, but the US toy was renamed Duststorm and painted blue for no apparent reason.) [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 16:54, 22 February 2009 (UTC)


:''This review is transcluded from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Assessment/Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]. The edit link for the section below can be used to add comments to the review.
Hasbro has posted a page with the Constructicons on it, and they list Hightower, Mixmaster and Scrapper as the remaining three limbs, but oddly they also call Demolishor by the name "Scavenger". I wonder if t his is another case like movie Brawl/Devastator where there was a name change or somesuch, and some people got the memo, others didn't, or ignored it. Also, probably for Trademark purposes, the combined for is called "Constructicon Devastator". This maybe seperates him from the first movie's "Devastator". <ref>http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/movie/default.cfm?page=News/Item&newsid=485945F5-D56F-E112-449D7D1C5C587A1E</ref>[[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 09:10, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== Budget ==
== Lots on focus on the Decepticons eh ==


[[Template:Infobox film]] says not to cherry pick budget figures. The budget is listed as $200 million based on information BoxOfficeMojo.com but The-Numbers.com says the budget was $210 million.[https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen#tab=summary] -- [[Special:Contributions/109.78.197.202|109.78.197.202]] ([[User talk:109.78.197.202|talk]]) 22:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

: I checked the [[Talk:Transformers:_Revenge_of_the_Fallen/Archive_2#BUDGET_update|talk page archive]] and it pointed to an interview where Michael Bay saying the film cost $194 million [http://web.archive.org/web/20090628074529/http://michaelbay.com/newsblog/files/b7f044df56ae3317b4b36abb77c88f9b-546.html] -- [[Special:Contributions/109.78.197.202|109.78.197.202]] ([[User talk:109.78.197.202|talk]]) 22:51, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

::It's not like there's all of a sudden a huge flood of information on the Decepticons with no attention being paid to the Autobots, if that's what you mean. In the last week there's been confirmation of Mudflap and Skids as the Trax and Beat, and Wheelie for the Autobots; the names of the individual Constructicons and the Audi R8 were confirmed for the Decepticons. I wouldn't call that undue attention to the Decepticons, just adding new characters as they've been revealed, which has been pretty much the standard for this article since day 1.[[User:AristosRietze|AristosRietze]] ([[User talk:AristosRietze|talk]]) 08:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:::What should be done regarding Barricade and Sideways. A lot of people believe Barricade renames himself and becomes Sideways. If this revelation is revealed to be true, how would this effect the two characters and their respective articles? Would the two characters be kept in their separate articles or fused into one, or would it be like how Megs and Galvatron are the same characters as they have different articles - but this is only important if Barricade and Sideways are the same person. [[User:Evilgidgit|Evilgidgit]] ([[User talk:Evilgidgit|talk]]) 22:35, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
::::If fact come out in the film on the two characters being one then the articles would probably be merged under the latest name of the character, but until it's proved it's just fan speculation and probably isn't worthy of mention.

==What's an SS?==
Since it was asked.. the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS seems to be a final production version of the car, not the mock up prototype of the car which Bumblebee was in the first film. <ref>http://www.superchevy.com/features/camaro/sucp_0809w_2010_camaro_ss/index.html</ref> [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 20:42, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

[http://www.superchevy.com/features/camaro/sucp_0809w_2010_camaro_ss/index.html] Interesting, should be implemented. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 21:31, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== The Fallen and teaser trailer ==
Interesting, as it might explain The Fallen's nature and how he's portrayed in this film: Did anyone notice in the teaser how The Fallen seems to "appear" in a bolt of lighting when confronting the American desert troops? I understand the character, especially in regards to his description in this article, is somewhat of a Lucifer inspired being, but does he have any cosmic powers not listed here? I'm wondering if the Facebook fan club trailer is different than the main website, so here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=1094345163819 [[User:Veracious Rey|Veracious Rey]] ([[User talk:Veracious Rey|talk]]) 21:59, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:Veracious, long time no see! :D It's been speculated the Fallen can teleport or has a cloaking device, but that's not appropriate to the article for now. In the comics and it seems in the film, he's a fiery being though. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 22:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
::How have you been Alien? Yeah, I kind of see my self as someone who throws a few tidbits towards the article once and a while, and lets everyone else sort it out :) If the speculation is true, Fallen should be an exciting addition to the film. Kudos to you and others who have made this an excellent article. [[User:Veracious Rey|Veracious Rey]] ([[User talk:Veracious Rey|talk]]) 23:29, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

:First Michael Bay officially announced he's not in the movie, also also officially announced he's going to lie about the movie to throw people off the plot. Then the toy line has leaked with several "tank" Megatron toys, then Roberto Orci said he is just a few says ago "Megatron returns." So all signs point to him coming back and Bay being a liar. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 12:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== Edit dispute with user Bold Clone ==

This user keeps editing back some changes I've made to the Autobots section.

First, he keeps setting the voice actors as the headings for each bot's listing, which I have to disagree with.
It's supposed to be a list of robots, not a list of people who play robots' voices in a movie.

Secondly, I removed the 'fifth generation' specification for Bumblebee's alt mode, leaving it just at 'Chevrolet Camaro', as the 5th gen model is not the only alt mode he adopted in the first movie.
If the statement refers to its current form, i.e. in the second movie, the sentence should be changed to present tense. [[User:Uker|Uker]] ([[User talk:Uker|talk]]) 19:52, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
:Fine, present tense for your latter point. But you are wrong about listing characters before cast. Only Cullen and Ryan are confirmed. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 21:48, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you somehow justify your saying that the voice cast's names should go before the names of the bots, or why they sould be in bold text?
Again, the list is about the robots and the information is supposed to be about them.
The name of the voice actor is meant to be information about the robot they voice, not the other way around. [[User:Uker|Uker]] ([[User talk:Uker|talk]]) 05:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:Because the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Style_guidelines#Cast_and_crew_information|film style guide]] lists the correct format: "ACTOR as CHARACTER". -[[User:Oosh|Oosh]] ([[User talk:Oosh|talk]]) 05:55, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Amazon.jp has listed the toys for pre order and they listed that blue unicucle robot/motorcycle as "[[Chromia (Transformers)|Chromia]]".

::Well, it could be that the three motorcycle bots are Arcee, Chromia and (unknown fembot 3) who combine, or that the three bots (Chromia, fembot#2 and fembot#3) combine into Arcee. Either is possible. As of right now it seems that at least the blue fembike will be named Chromia in the toy line. Moreover no toy named Arcee is listed anywhere in the first few waves of ROTF toys. In the original cartoon series Chromia's two female Autobot partners were named Firestar and Moonracer. I remember that Hasbro had trouble getting the legal rights to the names for Firestar and Moonracer in 2005 when they tried to make toys of them (they renamed Firestar into Flareup and called Moonracer's toy by the name Chromia), so who knows if they can use the names now.

:Using babelfish, the word "クロミア", from the title, translates to Chromia. Moreover in 2005 Hasbro released a convention exclusive toy named Chromia. It was a blueish motorcycle.

::He's the director last time I checked and what the director says pretty much goes onto film. what is excatly more reliable then the director of the movie, then? and don't give me that stupid :P face and if your going off the toy you know that toys aren't excatly [[Canon_(fiction)|canon]] right? and that [[Armoured personnel carrier|APC]] vehicles aren't considered tanks but like the [[Light_Armoured_Vehicle|LAV-25]] have tank like weapons [[Special:Contributions/24.6.165.197|24.6.165.197]] ([[User talk:24.6.165.197|talk]]) 21:47, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually the toys are just as "canon" as the movie in their own worlds, as both are official, and Hasbro actually owns them not Bay, but more to the point on official information on the movie Bay has stated he's a liar. He will lie to keep the movie a surprise. So in this case he is not a reliable source at all for this subject on Wikipedia.

::::Whoa, calm down there IP, nothing wrong with tongue-in-cheek :) To be more serious, Mathew's got it right that Hasbro's main wave of toys have to be accurate to what kids see in the film, whereas the director can, and has, lied.

== John Turturro is not Jetfire ==

I don't know if that's a joke that no one else caught, or what...but he's just reprising Agent Simmons. {{unsigned|Alleywaykrew}}
:It's not a joke. Maybe Turturro just had to voice Jetfire on location because they didn't have Mark Ryan in Egypt, but quite simply, Bay has revealed Turturro is voicing the film's rust bucket robot.

how come the poster says 6/26/09 while the article says 6/24/09 [[User:AcesUpMaSleeve|AcesUpMaSleeve]] ([[User talk:AcesUpMaSleeve|talk]]) 17:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

We have films of the motorcycles in action. Has anyone identified the types of motorcycles used? Perhaps ask some cycle experts? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 17:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

==USA Today April 1st Article==
This article seems to contradict a lot of what we know about the movie. http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-01-transformers-first-look_N.htm I"m wondering if maybe it's either an April Fool's joke by Bay, misinformation, or just out of date. It mentioned 7 Constructions, and Demolishor isn't one of them, he's a seperate 8th Decepticon. It says Arcee is the ONLY female Transformer. It says there is a character called "The Doctor", which it has a picture of, but this character looks identical to the recently leaked toy called "Scalpel" http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-01-transformers-first-look_N.htm [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 02:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
:Need a link to Scalpel, as for Demolishor it seems like it's the whole Scavenger confusion again. This official list of robots (which is still keeping some secret, like Megatron and Alice) also popped up on Yahoo. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 10:16, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
::At this point I'm thinking we need to take this article with a grain of salt. It sounds more like misinformation or an April Fools joke than news about the movie. They source Bay in it, and Bay is an admitted liar, so can we ignore the things in it that contradict the stuff we know? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 15:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Well yeah, I've done that. At least we know Scalpel is in the film (he looks awesome, sue me, I liked Frenzy too). [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 15:24, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

== Wheelie ==

HOLD ON! Wheelie isnt a permante decepticon! He starts as a decepticon and then becomes an autobot so shouldn't wheelie be in the autobot list??-[[Special:Contributions/69.118.78.130|69.118.78.130]] ([[User talk:69.118.78.130|talk]]) 18:44, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah actually, is there any reason he was moved other then to follow some official list that doesn't mention the majority of robots in the film? [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 18:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
I swear if its because "Wheelie is anyoing." I'm gonna puke besides I LOVE Wheelie hes cute in the cartoon and he is still loveable to me in the movie like mabe wheelie has a cute personality? I mean Wheelie is a child in the cartoon mabe he is a child in the movie as well!-[[Special:Contributions/69.118.78.130|69.118.78.130]] ([[User talk:69.118.78.130|talk]]) 18:50, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
:Um ok, I'm not sure what that was supposed to relate to the subject but I'll go and put Wheelie back as an Autobot. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 18:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

== "List of Robots Revealed" ==

I'm not sure we can arbitrarily throw out previously referenced characters based on one article that appeared on April Fool's Day and is missing most of the bots that appear in the movie, notably Megatron. [http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/need-to-know-transformers-robots.html] It seems that this may be only a partial list. ~<font size="3" face="Calibri">[[User:Auzemandius|Auzemandius]]</font> {[[User talk:Auzemandius|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Auzemandius|contrib]]} 22:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


April fools? Are you fucking stupid? That's not an April Fools joke. The article mentions Scorponok returning even though his fate was not revealed in the movie. Why would Barricade not be mentioned then? He's not as important as Megatron after all. Megatron returning is supposed to be a surprise even though people thought he died. I'll remove the list but Barricade returning has NOT been confirmed. Orci only said that his fate will be explained. And police cars returning could mean anything.

Budget

[edit]

Template:Infobox film says not to cherry pick budget figures. The budget is listed as $200 million based on information BoxOfficeMojo.com but The-Numbers.com says the budget was $210 million.[1] -- 109.78.197.202 (talk) 22:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the talk page archive and it pointed to an interview where Michael Bay saying the film cost $194 million [2] -- 109.78.197.202 (talk) 22:51, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have added the slightly higher $210 million budget figure[3] to the article since no one has provided any reason why it wasn't included before. -- 109.77.194.149 (talk) 18:21, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
