The TFW TF2 Insider has confirmed that the character of Alice, as played by Isabel Lucas, in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is a Pretender. For those not familiar with Transformers sublines from the 1980s, Pretenders are Transformers that are hidden inside a shell that acts as their disguise. In the case of Alice, the 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.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen writer Roberto Orci answers more of your questions! In this latest batch of answers, he confirms that there are no triple changers in Transformers 2 unless you count combiners. In his own words:
Talked about it. Does a combiner count? We figure a triple changer is a good idea for part 3.
Also covered in this round of questions - it is "certainly possible" that we will see more bickering between Megatron and Starscream, there will be "some more emphasis on the Transformers", and Roberto and fellow writers Alex Kurtzman and Ehren Kruger have "talked about" the possibility of Optimus Prime combining with another robot or even his trailer.
Also, for all of you who have been trying to guess what Soundwave will turn into, when asked if anyone had been correct on their guess of Soundwave's alternate mode, Roberto's response was:
I don't think so, but I haven't seen all the guesses.
The new trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has leaked onto YouTube and has already been pulled. Keep your eye on TFW2005 when the trailer officially goes live tomorrow. Feel free to join in on the ongoing discussion.

During a Hasbro Italy 2009 Brand Preview it was revealed that Transformers Movie Optimus Prime will Combine with Jetfire in Revenge of the Fallen. This is why Jetfire will be an Autobot, and not a Decepticon as we previously reported.
Check out images for main line Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys. Included are updated images for almost everything coming out in early waves of ROTF toys. Read on for a complete cross-linked list with images!
This hot news just in from Toy Fair 2009 - a series of licensed Transformers keychains will include a keychain of the combined Jetfire and Optimus Prime! You can see the image to the left of this story. While it is a blacked out image, you can see a very clear outline which reveals the overall look of the combined form, which includes multiple wings, twin boosters, and a suitably large gun!
Three other keychains are also a part of the series - Bumblebee, the only one shown in color, Starscream and an anonymous "new character coming soon", whose silhouette bears an uncanny resemblance to Megatron in his new tank form.
The TFW TF2 Insider brings us more news about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This time it's the vehicles that will combine to form Devastator in the Transformers sequel. They are:
2005 Boards member S250 and Yizhi521 of TF08.net bring us these two teasing images of the titular big bad The Fallen from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toy, along with his instruction booklet. You can see the images by clicking on the title bar.
The Fallen transforms into a Cybertronian spaceship mode. He is most likely a Deluxe or Voyager Class figure, given the size of the screw holes and the missile launcher on his right arm, seen more clearly in the second image.

TFW2005 has received the latest answers from this months Hasbro Q&A. Make sure to also check out TFW2005 sister sites Cybertron.ca and Toyark for more Hasbro Q&A feedback.
1. When will we hear about the new line / cartoon coming out after Revenge of the Fallen?
As you can imagine, TRANSFORMERS is a very important brand for Hasbro and we continue to look for new ways to bring the story to our fan base. Hasbro is looking forward to delivering exciting new content to kids and fans through our recently announced joint venture with Discovery Communications. We're excited to share this news with you and look forward to doing so when we have more specifics to share but it is still very early in the process to discuss what direction the entertainment will take. Stay tuned for future announcements.
2. Would Hasbro be willing to sell Takara-Tomy Transformer products such as Henkei/encore figures to the collector's market in the United States similar to what Takara does with their "USA Edition" figures such as Universe powerglide/Masterpiece Starscream?
As we have done in the past, we make sure to release those Takara-Tomy developed products that make sense for the U.S. market.
3. The large sized Robot Heroes toys (The Fallen, Demolishor, Devastator) in giftsets are a big success. Any plans on giving us G1-style large Robot Heroes (Unicron and Devastator were mentioned in last years Botcon) in 2010?
We do not have any plans to do any G1-style large Robot Heroes at this point in time.
Jim Sorenson has recently posted some new information at fellow TF Board The Allspark in which he answers the following: So what do you need to do to help get these made?
With this: That's a good question. I don't know if there is a magic number, above which the answer is yes, below which the answer is no. The best strategy is to buy one for yourself, advocate to people who might be interested, and above all make some noise. Let IDW and Hasbro know that you like the book by posting on their forum or publishing an amazon review - preferably both. Bill and I (and Marty and Derrick) are super-keen to do the follow-up volume and finish out season 3. I know Marty is itching to do a virtual season 4 in comic book form too. Right now, TPTB will be looking at this volume as a bellwether.
Michael Bay has posted two and a half minutes of Revenge of the Fallen goodness. The actual video is what was shown at ShoWest 2009 and features a touching scene between Bumblebee and Sam, and then a bunch of robot-on-robot fighting.
Also seen is the first footage of Devastator in action.
What are you waiting for?
EDIT: Screen Caps added to this story, read on to see.

Thanks to Jalopnik.com for updating us with excellent new photos of Bumblebee's "facelift" for the upcoming Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen. The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 concept sports the familiar yellow paint scheme and black stripes; however it appears that a performance package has been added as an upgrade (hence the Z28 designation). At this time, it is unclear exactly what type of package, but the end result looks fantastic. Looks like Bumblebee is getting ready for his encore on the big screen!
Thanks to 52toys.com, we at TFW2005 have obtained animation model images of new Transformers Animated characters. New characters for season three include Strika, Spittor, Blackout and Rodimus Prime! Click the thumbnail to check them all out!

The Live Action Movie Blogs' source also reports that returning characters Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee and Starscream are largely unchanged from their appearances in the first movie.
