Another character announced for ROTF: Are you ready to be....

[i_amtrunks]

The thing I find most illegitimate is the fact they're using fan art and calling it "legit".

Apparently the artist who created that art has been since hired on as a consultant... I know tfwiki isnt reliable, but it's all I could be bothered finding: TF Wiki entry.

Ok, if this were to be true, how would the 'bots be able to match up to him?

As a throwback to Victory , Perceptor & Wheeljack get summoned from their universal travels & (along with Ratchet) create the Dinobots who later merge into Dinoking! (artistic license in full use)

that would be cool... but it would be massive!

Long haul kinda looks like Brawl. lol

Heh, just echoing the 'grain of salt'... Since the first movie already had a character named Devastator somebody could find out that Devastator was going to be in ROTJ/ROTFLMAO/ROTwhatever and jump to the conclusion that the combiner was going to be in the film when they meant the big tank.

(and you know, a little miffed I was tricked into clicking on this link not knowing it was a movie spoiler - edits thread title)

What are you reading movie news anyway Paul???? It's because of the fuss you made with spoilers for the first movie, I editted the title to move the spoiler into the post itself (Devastated is pretty obviously referring to Devastator). I would think you'd not even be looking in the movie news section, since it was created for people like you who don't want to read movie news in the main section.
I can't really see it as being deceptive, having a link in the movie news about movie news. I can't imagine any news leading up to the movie that isn't a spoiler.

Me personally, I agree that it is more intentional mis-information, as Bay said from the beginning. As cool as a combiner would be on screen, in the few seconds it combines and then attacks as a giant (over the other 'giants'...), I don't see a bunch of construction vehicles as the bulk of the bad guy cast being too marketable by Paramount.
But either way, it would be a great surprise if it were true.

If there are ten Decepticons, and Devastator is seven robots, that means that there will only be three other Decepticons! I feel gypped...

I fell for the trap of looking at New Posts and not checking which section it was in. (D'oh - my own mistake, only a little miffed ) Other movie news has been flagged more clearly as being about the movie, "Are you ready to be..." could have been anything.

Spoilers will be hard to avoid, I barely go to Seibertron.com anymore because they seem to want to spoil every single little thing they can possibly find. And once the toys start appearing next year its basically all over (although I did watch the first movie waiting for Swindle and Wreckage to appear ).

As soon as you log onto the major news sites, you kind of expect a spoiler to confront you front-&-centre...

I'm sure 9 out of 10 of us check TFW/Seibertron daily so I guess we should be used to it by now. I got a little p#%@ed off with TFW/Seibertron when they plastered the spoilers contained in the last animated episode on their front page but then... I just got over it.

The TF community is shocking when it comes to giving away spoilers without warning but... There's really not a whole lot you can do... *shrugs*

TFW2005.com have done the accomodating thing and created a non-movie filter of news items, for those like yourself who still want to browse what's happening internationally:

Its alot harder with TF2 to avoid spoilers as there seems to be news everyday for it so i just avoid all news sites
