Confirmed news

Current information includes:

• Producer Tom DeSanto has envisioned a storyline introducing the Constructicons.
• Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are recruiting Ehren Kruger to help them write the screenplay. Michael Bay and producers Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura are also returning.
• The producers expect that with a bigger budget and the special effects worked out, the Transformers will have a larger role and more screen time.
• According to the 2008 ShoWest edition of Dolby News, the film will be in 3-D.
• Michael Bay has claimed that the studio is putting out deliberate misinformation, to obscure real leaks. (Like our jobs weren't hard enough.)
• A key character will return and "attempt to settle a score".
• Roberto Orci confirmed that there is no '2' in the title of the sequel.
• Aaron Hill is confirmed to play a supporting in the film.
• During San Diego Comic-Con 2008, Simon Furman claimed that a character based upon The Fallen would be in the film. A day or two later, IDW Publishing writer Chris Mowry corroborated the claim in an interview with MTV Splash Page, calling "The Fallen" the main villian of Revenge (Arcee was also confirmed in the same interview, but the reference to her was mysteriously removed shortly after publication). Less than a week after this, however, Michael Bay reiterated that everything leaked thus far is part of their misinformation campaign and that only a handful of people involved with the production of Revenge have seen the script, contradicting IDW's interviews where their representatives confirm that they have the script. Additionally, Bay claimed the only truth about the film was Sam going to college. Curiously, on August 5th 2008, after a fan posted on Michael Bay's forum pointing out the contradiction, all references to the Fallen were removed from the aforementioned interviews, as well as any references to IDW Publishing having the script.
• When questioned about whether the Transformers would have more flat surfaces and have less internal machinery exposed compared to the designs from the first movie, Roberto Orci answered with an emphatic "YES".
• An official behind-the-scenes video from the first day of shooting (June 2, 2008) at the former steel plant in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania was posted on Wal-Mart's public website in early September of 2008. The video shows police cars with Chinese markings, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson shooting an action sequence together with other actors and extras dressed as soldiers, and an Audi R8 being chased by three differently-colored motorcycles, all three of them equipped with drivers wearing the same outfit.
• The first theatrical trailer for the film is expected to be released with Star Trek (co-written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman), which is set to be released in the United States on May 8, 2009.
• As confirmed by Variety, a short teaser trailer of 31 seconds was released in the net on the SuperBowl on February 1.
• In a recent interview it Roberto Orci; Bonecrusher and Brawl/Devastator will not be coming back in the sequel.
• In the recent issue of Empire, it has been comfirmed that the Pyramid of Giza scene will be set at the near end of the film and that the pyramids have a connection with the Transformers, the pyramids will be a key feature to the decepticons plans. Devastator will make an appearance in the pyramid scene. Bay has also stated that Megatron will feature in Transformers: ROTF and that scenes in Transformers: ROTF will also be set in Paris, Jordan, Luxor, Oman and Shanghai.
• Roberto Orci has confirmed a Pretender will appear.
• Roberto Orci has confirmed Megatron will return for the film.
• Roberto Orci has confirmed all trailer shots of a MH-53 Pave Low Helicopter are of Grindor, but Blackout will also be seen.

Transformers sequel and the 2007-2008 Writers Strike

In late 2007, during preproduction for then-untitled Transformers sequel, the Writers Guild of America went on strike. At the time, Roberto Orci stated that the strike could likely delay Transformers 2's release. However, Michael Bay refuted this, claiming the movie was still on schedule. The reason behind Bay's confidence was discovered by Orci shortly after the strike ended. The director had apparently taken the outline the writers had handed in the night before the strike, and begun movie prep based on it.
