[SPOILERS] hide the robot inside!

[Gutsman Heavy]

Interesting if true (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-9/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-news---alice-is-a-pretender-166122/)

whats next, powermasters?

[Pulse]

It's gonna be some sort of alien horror movie... :D "Don't fall for her charms Sam! No!" :D

From H & A to a Mechanical Alien/Human?
Isabel Lucas has sure left the surfie chick stereotype behind...

[SilverDragon]

The Pretender Transformer will have an arm that transforms into an energy weapon, a long tongue, and a scanning tenticle.


Why do I get the feeling that this will be played for all the dirty jokes that it could provide?

[kup]

I think this sucks mainly because their version sounds more like a rip off from a certain other movie rather than a Pretender.

I am not optimistic.

[TheDirtyDigger]

Terminator vs. Transformers.

[i_amtrunks]

Attractive Woman is a bad robot after the main character...

Wait hasnt that been done before???

And why does she need a long tongue and tentacles? It only half ties into the bug/insectoid alien look the Decepticons have been given thus far.

[Mixmaster]

This is so rediculous that it has to be one of these "leak stuff to fans so they don't steal the scripts again" things. For me, this is'nt real. It's just too silly. If it is, then this film is going to be even more sillier than the first one.

[MV75]

I'm just so overcome with too many thoughts right now, I don't know where to start commenting on this. It's just so hilarious, sickening, ridiculous, corny/cliche and erotic.

On second thought, I'd have to say this is most probably bulls#%t too! :D

I think the first comment on this page (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=46187&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15) sums it up perfectly...

That's wrong. Its real there is a lot of concrete evidence including leaked footage. This is pretty old news actually.

[Bartrim]

I didn't realise she is actually a decepticon. I just heard she was a heartless bitch trying steal Sam from Mikalea (a real stretch for a H and A actress:rolleyes:)

I hope this doesn't suck.

[Beast_Wars_Superior]

And why does she need a long tongue and tentacles?

I'm sure that, like all the ridiculous stuff from the first film, it will make sense when we see it up on the screen. :p

[FFN]

It makes sense from a storyline perspective. Brute force got the Decepticons nowhere last time, and now they're using espionage and subterfuge even beyond the capabilities of Frenzy to infiltrate.

Reminds me of Infiltration and Escalation.

It reminds me of:

- Terminator 3
- Battlestar Galactica
- Austin Powers


The toy is hinted to be a human animorph of a Barbie Blonde. How crap is that?

[FFN]

You say that like Transformers (any generation) has been original. TF is derivative as heck :D

I'm personally interested in seeing how they handle a hypothetical modern pretender-type toy.

If its an Animorph type toy it will not be a Pretender but something else entirely.

You can bet your boots it won't 'split apart to reveal a powerful robot inside, then reassemble to fight alongside the transformable robot'! ;)

[i_amtrunks]

If the reports of the movie combiner are to be believed then we cannot expect anything good for a toy version of the pretender.

[kup]

I have become fearful of the second Movie toy line. It seems that they are focusing too heavily on stupid gimmicks possibly at the expense of the toy design.

Haven't they learned from past failings?

[Bartrim]

Yeah from what I've heard about the movie combiner and now this I doubt I'll be buying too many toys from ROTF which saddens me:(... Although my wallet just let out a huge sigh of relief:)

[The_Damned]

i will remind you next year about all you guys being naysayers

[kup]

If the toys turn out to be good I will be the first to admit it but cheating on combiners, Transformers with Animorph type human alt modes reeks of fail.

Starscream looked like crap before the first movie, during the first movie and after the first movie. Nothing much changed there.

[Pulse]

I really don't think I'll be going ballistic in acquiring too many figures from ROTF.

I mean, I only picked up one of each character from the first movie & I'm pretty sure I'm only gonna acquire new characters only (ie. Soundwave, Devastator, Jetfire, maybe Arcee if she's significantly different to her first movie figure...).

& yes, I'll be trying to keep my word :)

I took a similar approach. I got the best toy representing each of the film characters with a couple of exceptions.

I didn't bother with Swindle, Real gear and all the other stuff and repaints.

As a result collecting them was more of a 'side hobby' than anything big like collecting G1, BW and now Classics.

If you didnt nab real gears, you missed the best figures to be released under the movie moniker!

I ended up preferring non-movie character toys a hell of a lot more than the Movie figures. Of my top 5 movie toys, only Ironhide would make the list from Movie figures. Rescue Ratchet would scrape in close though.

I am mostly a character collector so I didn't really care for Real gear.
