20 Robots You’ll See In Transformers 2

The good, the bad and the (unexpectedly) sexy

The Audi R8

An as-yet unidentified Transformer will change into an Audi R8. Here’s the thing – early release versions of the toy are a very similar size to the Barricade figures from the first film, and have exactly the same rotating sawblade weapon.

Is the Audi an upgraded version of Barricade, or a new bot altogether?

Frenzy

Alright, maybe not the same Frenzy who we last saw slicing his own face in two during the climax of the first film, but according to on-set photos certainly a similarly lightweight sidekick bot of some kind.

Maybe a new version of Frenzy to go along with a potentially new version of Barricade.

      Cool pictures, thanks! However, when was Ironhide ever a tank? As far as I recall he was a red van, like this: http://www.rhoadeslawoffice.com/Transformers/Battle2/ironhide.jpg Also, slightly poor wording on the Ravage description: "back in the day Soundwave had a set of cassette tape minions, but as he’s no longer a tape deck it makes more sense for Ravage to be a tiger-like beast machine" - ravage was ALWAYS a tiger-like beast machine, it's just that his SECOND form was a tape, not a car. I would have thought that the biggest news here is that they're apparently pulling some sort of 'jaguar' pun from the looks of the picture. Niiiice.

      @ Padman. The writer was obviously referring to the alternate-continuity crossover between Transformers and G.I. Joe, where-upon Ironhide was a tank. Obv. :)

      Dirt Boss the toy the only thing we've seen of Devastator? Nope. What about the Tank Deception who was renamed Devastator in the movie, despite the toy, like the original version in the cartoon, being called Brawl? Or how one of the Constructicons (Bonecrusher) was killed by Prime in the film?

      Good information, chicks. Thanks. But surely that cross-over was in the comics, not the 'old cartoons' as the writer suggested? ;) Either way, good to know they didn't just make it up.

      So. The cartoon series was essentially a long-running advert for toys (still great though) and now the films are million-dollar car adverts, for the US car industry, which is a stupid, lumbering, outmoded beast, just like the first film. Why couldn't they have got James Cameron on this instead?

      @Ray Peterson: He's been working on a small film called Avatar recently, don't know if you've heard of it? Sounds good. No transformers in it, mind.

      The audi r8 is a new bot named sideways, and update the pics. The fallen is shown in the new trailer and the new version of devs is out already.
