The Story Behind Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

From ‘80s toy spin-off to sequel Bayhem…


10. Fallen Idols

Revenge Of The Fallen, the second Transformers movie hits cinemas this week.

But it’s already enjoyed two trailers and a teaser.

As for the plot? Despite Bay’s endless claims that Megatron was gone for good after his defeat at the end of the first movie, he returns. But he isn’t the biggest threat in the film...

That honour goes jointly to The Fallen, an ancient, very powerful robot based on the Lucifer mythology (hence the name) and Devastator, the ginormous uber-‘bot made up of the evil Constructicons.

      Interesting feature,. this. I enjoyed reading it. Not much else i can say really apart from thank you so much for reminding me how awseometastic the original animated movie was. I'm going to be watching that DVD tonight. Oh and while i'm here: if Shia does have to choose between Transformers 3 and Indy 5, he should choose Transformers. I'm of the opinion that Indy 5 shouldn't be made anyway as it wouldn't be "Indiana Jones and the MacGuffin" it would be "Mutt Williams (and his decrepit old father Indiana Jones) and the MacGuffin", which would be BAD.
