Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

USA Today’s article gives us the following information regarding the plot of the feature:

 

"This time, the story finds Sam and Mikaela under attack by the evil Decepticons because of something Sam has learned about the origins of the Transformers and their ancient history on Earth.

 

To acquire this knowledge, the invading Decepticons need to capture Sam instead of k*ll him. Meanwhile, the U.S. military and an international coalition has united with the good-guy Autobots to fight back the villains’ attack.

 

Some of the most important newcomers are in the robot cast: Decepticons Soundwave, a fearsome communications expert, and Devastator, whose arms and legs are built out of other Transformers. And on the Autobots’ side is Jetfire, a villain whose age and broken-down physicality leads him to help the Autobots."

Transformers Live Action Movie Blog had a breakdown of the info shared in the article -

 

* Bay and LaBeouf confirm the Fallen is a separate character.

* Egyptian hieroglyphics ...turn out to be depictions of Transformers who visited Earth.

* Bay claims Megatron is not coming back and the tank is just a new toy.

* Around 40 robots.

* Budget is $200 million.

* Ramon Rodriguez is the one holding on for dear life to a pole while cars are flung

* Devastator appears at the pyramid, he's probably 50 feet tall because that's the height of the camera crane they used on location.
