Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Decepticons list
I realize it’s been a few weeks, but here are the new Decepticons that will join the roster in this summer’s sure-to-be blockbuster. I apologize in advance for the large Photoshopped compilation image. I couldn’t post all of the pictures individually for some reason.
Soundwave: One of the original G1 Transformers. He was the intelligence gatherer for Megatron. He transformed into the “boombox” (not what we called it when we went to the old school, but whatever) and had a complement of cassette tapes that transformed into his little henchmen. Frenzy from the original movie was one of them. Ravage, who does appear in this movie, was another. Despite the fact that he had no personality to speak of on the original show, and sounded like a Cylon Centurion from the ’70′s series Battlestar Galactica, he remains a fan favorite to this day. Rumor has it Frank Welker, the original voice of Starscream, will be lending his voice for this movie.
Ravage: Ravage was one of Soundwave’s cassette tapes and was another fan favorite as the first Transformer with an organic-looking second form, a panther (with rocket launcher/jets jutting from his hind end). He made a surprise appearance in the “Beast Wars” series as an agent for Cybertron (Autobots and Decepticons had come to a tentative peace agreement) hunting down Decepticon stragglers, specifically the ghost of Starscream.
Wheelie: Made his first appearance in the original movie as a little Autobot “feral child”. From what I’ve found he is a turncoat working for the Decepticons.
The Doctor: Don’t really know much about him, but if you’ve tuned for my earlier posts, you know my prediction is that he’s an Insecticon. From the quick images in the various trailers of Sam strapped to what looks like an operating table with a multi-legged robot hovering over him, my guess is he’s a Dr. Mengele-like evil scientist character.
Devastator: The 6 Constructicons were introduced to help Megatron build his space bridge on earth. When the autobots showed up to put an end to it, they were in for a surprise. The 6 Decepticons had an alternate form, combining to form the mighty Devastator, a gigantic construction-green behemoth and the most powerful Decepticon foe they had ever faced (until the next season). The Autobots called in their newly-created (and newly-decommissioned for all the trouble they’d caused) Dinobots to save the day. Back when we first got word Bay was making the Transformers sequel, the two big rumors I kept hearing were that Dinobots and Devastator would be making appearances in this movie. One of those appears to be true.
That’s all for now. Thanks for tuning in.
