here is also a bit of info my friend shadow posted
"The U.S. Department of Defense gave its official stamp of approval to the Michael Bay-directed film, not only allowing production amid the pristine dunes of the Army's New Mexico missile range, but also letting filmmakers follow jets and fighter planes through the sky from nearby Holloman Air Force Base. More scenes were shot on the Navy's aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, and Marines fill the ranks of the strike team battling the invading Transformers".
"Among the equipment the movie is using in this desert sequence alone: two A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" tank-killing jets; six F-16 Fighting Falcons; 10 armored Humvees; the Army's Golden Knights parachute team; two Abrams tanks; two Bradley tanks; two missile-launcher vehicles; two armored personnel carriers; and a quarter-mile of the missile testing range, cleared of unexploded ordnance and built into an Egyptian town and temple. (Signs warn not to cross a perimeter just over the gypsum dunes, because live bombs could be hidden in the sand)".

*Here is some plot questions that were asked by a member on the bayboards and was answered in red by my friend shadow who has been working for hasbro sinse august as one of the internet info givers, I trust what he tells me cause everything he has told me so far has come to pass so these answers are very interesting, I hope you all find them the same, and please add your own questions and i will see if i can get some answers if I can*
1. Sam has the "sliver" from the allspark and is making him see symbols and also being able to read a whole text book in 29 seconds (which shia is heard saying on phillygirls' video on youtube) He does not have the sliver at the time but yes it causes him to do this (TRUE)
2. Alice is actually ravage in human form somehow and Sam and Alice's relationship will probably go south very fast when she is looking for the allspark sliver. My guess is she sets up Soundwave to come in for a landing (where everyone in the theater will clap) (False) Alice is a con but not Ravage. The con is a female form of Frenzy. (NO NAME GIVEN YET)
3. Sam's house catches fire and gets somewhat destroyed somehow and sam tells mikaela that she needs to take the sliver House (False) Mikaela holding the sliver (True)
4. The fallen is not actually the fallen but the myth of a creature / robot that could be on earth (where they find it behind the wall my guess is in egypt) + i'm sure the robot has a name and we will all find that out my guess is in the 2nd half of the movie Myth (True) But may be more then just one bot
5. Since orci and enjoy the whole finding aspect of their story my guess is the pyramids were built to hide this "fallen" or keep it safe, just like the dam hid the cube.(True) and there is more to the story.
6. Soundwave will be coming back to earth with an army that he is in charge of, while other still fight for megatron, i'm guessing that will give a 3rd conflict for everyone to sit and watch them battle it out. In charge of (True) but he will not lead them to fight Megatron but to revive and follow Megatron. (False) on the 3rd conflict.
7. Epps has an even bigger part in this movie, with his knowledge of the robots from the last movie till now i'm guessing his is going to be in charge of the world wide organization against the decepticons. As well as Matthew Mardsen's character with (the N.E.S.T. organization) As a guess to what N.E.S.T. stands for??... no clue N.E.S.T......
The Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) The Nuclear Emergency Support Team is the National Nuclear Security Administration’s program for preparing and equipping specialized response teams to deal with the technical aspects of nuclear or radiological terrorism. NEST capabilities include search and identification of nuclear materials, diagnostics and assessment of suspected nuclear devices, technical operations in support of render safe procedures, and packaging for transport to final disposition.
Their mission is to provide specialized technical expertise to the Federal response in resolving nuclear or radiological terrorist incidents. This expertise is provided by well trained personnel who form specialized response teams to work in coordination with teams from other Federal agencies to resolve a nuclear terrorist crisis. NEST experts include engineers, scientists, and other technical specialists from NNSA’s nuclear weapons laboratories and facilities to include Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Remote Sensing Laboratory and the Pantex Plant.
8. Just like the set-up of the last movie, i'm guessing there will be several conflicts at the same time... perhaps...
- Sam and Mikaela are in stupid bf/gf fights (True)
- Decepticons vs. Autobots (True)
- Military vs. Decepticons (True)
- Autobots vs. Fallen (True)
- etc.
9. Scorponok is still alive and ends up in egypt, i dunno i put the sand and sand together and thought hey, he might revive this fallen character... given the circumstances.(False) on the revival of the Fallen as far as Egypt gos
10. There has to be a main character death in the movie, possibly lennox or epps... someone that has a huge presence on screen will probably give their life just to save humanity... i know cliche , but it probably will happen. It will probably end up being one of the main transformers, just like jazz in the first.(True) and (True) Simmons and another human. A few Autobots
11. As far as the parents go, they are just taking a vacation in France and run into a decepticon looking for the sliver when the autobot takes him out and they just stand their in amazement...(True) on the vacation and running into a D-con but (false) on the other stuff.
12. Sam's hand will probably be a joke as to how he did it, possibly the microwave blew up or he was playing with fireworks, something to the point where it's comedic as to how he did it. (N/A) LOL
13. As far as ramon's character goes, i noticed he kind could look like Simmons, so i'm thinking he could be a long lost son or something like that to simmons. But then again metioned a while back, he has his whole website conspiracy page that interests him with sam and i'm sure they will meet in Rainn Wilson's astronomy class. Which brings him along for the fight.(N/A)
14. This movie is going to be huge globally, with all the nation's coming together to fight this massive attack again, i mean the military gave their everything in this movie and is the biggest help from them EVER in a movie. Almost seems like there will be a huge nuclear blast to kill this character that combines a bunch of robots. Which is also why the picture of Ramon shows him holding on for dear life while cars fly by him... just a guess (Nuke blast Maybe) lol and there is a Bot missing from that pic with the cars flying over head.
I know it's a lot of rambling but i'm still trying to figure out how they will get all this stuff within 2 and 1/2 hours or so, cuz it's a lot to take in with how huge this movie will be... the movie will be around 3 hours
Feel free to add to the list or correct me with your own theories...

Stupid question? If threads are going to be locked and told to repost in the 'proper' thread, shouldn't the mods move the relevant locked posts to the 'proper' post?
I only ask, because now my reply is going to be without context, unless I nest a ton of quotes.
Anyhow, someone in the locked thread mentioned they heard the Devastator toy was going to be two inches (2"). Do you mean two FEET (2')?

There is already a Transformers 2 sticky thread, all related materials pertaining should be posted here.
The other two Transformers 2 movie related threads were redundant, so they were locked. I did so, so that everyone could keep their post countss, cut your links, and whatever quotes that you wished to from them.
I hope I didn't offend anyone, as that wasn't my intention at all.

We wish we could "merge" the relevant posts into the proper posts, however, the forum software doesn't allow it. Therefore, the solution given is the best available at the moment.
