Speculate no more, Transformers fans. USA Today and Yahoo Movies! have the official list of Decepticons and Autobots that will be appearing in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, along with a few new photos. (Sadly, the photos are of iffy quality; they're practically screencaps.) Still a mystery is whether or not Megatron will appear -- and how he'll fit into the chaos.
First up, the Autobots, starting with the obvious:
Optimus Prime, whose alternate form is a Peterbilt truck.
Ironhide the weapons specialist, who transforms into a GMC Topkick.
Ratchet the medic, and a Hummer H2.
Bumblebee, who will now be a 2010 Chevorlet Camaro. (This is the only Transformer I ever owned, by the way)
Arcee, the female Autobot, who will be Megan Fox's pink motorcycle. She was actualy supposed to be in the first movie, but Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci felt "we needed to win the audience over before asking for that suspension of disbelief: a feminine alien robot."
Jolt, originally a Decepticon, but in this he's a good guy. He'll be switching into a Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid.
Jetfire, an older Decepticon who switches sides, and transforms into a SR71 Blackbird jet. According to Michael Bay: "He's old, craggy, forgetful ... doesn't work very well. Can't transform very well, because he's very geriatric. They get stuck with him a lot. He knows the plan of the bad guys, but he forgets all the good parts of the plan."
Skid and Mudflap, a.k.a. "The Twins" a.k.a. Chevrolet Beat and Trax concept cars."Some of the junior Transformers are just dumb. But it's great for kids because they're like the Little Engine That Could. They're (screw)-ups, but they get really heroic at the end," says Bay.
Sideswipe, who was a bright red Lamborghini in the original will now be a GM silver Corvette Stingray concept car.

Retro Cinema: Transformers: The Movie
Filed under: Action », Animation », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Fandom », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Retro Cinema »
I never really understood the premise behind Transformers, but I didn't care. They were above and beyond the greatest toys a kid could dream of playing with. Who needed either action figures or Matchbox cars anymore? The Transformers were both. And as a loyal consumer child of the '80s, I followed my favorite toy line as it spun-off an animated television series, a comic book series and a full-length feature film. As I said, I didn't really get the story. All that mattered was that there were good guys (Autobots) and there were bad guys (Decepticons), same as any action cartoon. Anyway, the more I try to comprehend the premise of Transformers, the more questions I have about its logic, so I kinda prefer to be in the dark.
It's been nearly twenty years since I sold all my toys at a tag sale, and I haven't watched the television show or read a Transformers comic in all that time. So, when I decided to take a nostalgic look at Transformers: The Movie I was more in the dark than ever. Because it functions as a continuation of the television series, existing chronologically between the show's second and third seasons, there isn't much in the way of introductions. This is a movie for people familiar with the premise, the story and the characters of the Transformers universe.
