TF2 : latest info on the robot cast

Transformers fans…lend me your ears. Here is one more list of the robots who have made the cut for Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen. The credibility of this list is one aspect which remains in the shadows. But here it goes anyway.

The heroic Autobots will be led by Optimus Prime with the Peterbilt truck alternate mode. Bumblebee continues to be the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro with a little bit of face lifting. New age cowboy, Ironhide will reprise his role as the weapons specialist of the team. The vehicular mode of the all-brawn tough guy is that of a GMC Topkick. Medical officer Ratchet, roams around in the Emergency vehicle look of the Hummer H2. Arcee and her two sisters form the flower power as the first feminine robots and they are the first two wheelers in the film. Not much of a scoop is at hand regarding the alternate modes. Expect heavily modified superbikes on duty for the roles.

Sideswipe is another new entrant to watch out for as his role is played by a special concept car from Chevrolet called the Corvette Centennial concept. Jetfire, who is in fact one of the characters to watch out for, is an SR-71 Blackbird aircraft. The Decepticon who shifts allegiance to the good guys will be an attention grabber in the movie.

A similar development can be seen in the character of Wheelie, a radio controlled monster truck as he leaves the Decepticons in order to join the Autobots. Chevrolet Volt gives life to the character Jolt. Skids and Mudflap a.k.a The Twins, will roam through crowded streets as Chevrolet Beat and Trax respectively. Expecting a bit of laughs from those guys.

As for the Decepticons, most of them will be making a return after their defeat at the hands of Autobots. We saw some of them fleeing from the climatic battle, some of them being completely destroyed and dumped in the ocean. Decepticon leader, Megatron is back in the form of Cybertronian battle tank. Not sure what exactly that looks like. Starscream, the treacherous air commander of the Decepticons comes back in full force after his retreat in the first movie. No new looks for the ruthless bad guy as he looks kickass in the F-22 Raptor guise. Soundwave finally made his way into the casting list after his rejection from the first film. Guess what, he can fly. A spider-like robot called The Doctor takes care of the medical duties of the Decepticon team.

After his unexplained exit before the final battle in transformers, Barricade will be reclaiming his position as the group’s hunter. An Audi R8 is in the role of Sideways, who is basically a non-warrior member. Ravage, as the name suggest is about wrecking havoc. But the mechanical Jaguar is an aggressive fighter who would have felt a lot better if the name was Savage. The mechanical scorpion, Scorpnock is back in action too. But the Decepticon juggernaut to watch out for will be the Devastator. The combined form of seven robots, this behemoth will give the Autobots some real workout. There’s also a rather surprise package in the form of Alice, played by Isabel Lucas. Alice is a pretender or in simpler terms a robot which is in a human form.

The biggest baddie is The Fallen, one of the first thirteen Transformers. The Fallen shape shifts into a Cybertronian jet.

So, there you go. Give or take a few from here and that’ll be the best calculated guess in terms of the virtual cast of the most anticipated movie of the year.
