Home-Made Autobots Protect Chinese Scrap Yard From Decepticon Invasion
These creations built by a Chinese scrap yard owner won't be on the big screen in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, but that doesn't mean they aren't just as cool as Bumblebee or Sideswipe. Of course, since these Autobots are just sculptures made from junked car parts, they're not able to transform back to vehicle mode. With mechanical details like crankshafts for legs and cogs for eyes, the bots are more art than alien monsters. Our favorite is the old BMW 7-Series bot, it has us thinking that if a certain 633CSi ever kicks the bucket, we might just have to commission this guy to make us a nice lawn ornament.

Transformers 2 Caught At Air Force Base, Chevy Beat Bot To Be "Skids"
Looks like the crew of Transformers 2 was caught on-set in Arizona at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base along with a couple of the more robotic cast members — albeit while in their vehicle mode get-ups. Based on the plates, it looks like we're also able to put a name to the bot who will be played by the Chevy Beat: Skids. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't decipher the plate on the Chevy Trax, but that's okay because the upgraded Chevy Camaro will still be Bumblebee, and that's the only one we really care about anyway. (Thanks for the pics Matthew)

Constructicon Vehicle Modes From New Transformers Movie Possibly Revealed
There was a report not too long ago about the possibility of Devastator showing up in the new movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Now it seems an Insider over at TFW200 claims they've got the laundry list of construction vehicles that'll make up the Constructicons, who together will form the mega-bot. If the list is accurate, and the insider hasn't yet been wrong, let it not be said that director Michael Bay thinks small, as the combined weight of these behemoths of industry tip the scales at well over 2.5 million pounds. That's a whole lot of pissed off robot. The entire list — there's apparently seven of them — along with images of the monster vehicular modes, below the jump.

Bumblebee's Tarted-Up Camaro Body Spotted Clearly On Transformers 2 Set
We're already the first to have shown you Bumblebee's newly tarted-up aftermarket look (and again showing off that very newish nose and with Shia ), and now we're getting some better shots of his muscularly-modded bod sitting on the Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen set at White SandsHolloman AFB. We already know the look isn't any production trim level Chevy will be offering on the new Chevy Camaro, and thank goodness because it's certainly "special" looking. And — umm — that's really all there is to say about that. If you're interested, Transformers Live has some more galleries of some of the other vehicles (Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide) over there.

Transformers 2 Corvette Centennial Concept Character Named "Sideswipe"
After revealing the identity of the Corvette Centennial Concept that had been spotted on the set of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and giving you close-up detail shots, we've now got word that the Corvette Concept is not merely a car, but a robot in disguise named Sideswipe. Originally a Lamborghini in the old cartoons, Sideswipe is a rule-bending but loyal Autobot warrior out to take down the evil Decepticons. Sideswipe's latest identity was uncovered at the recent Hasbro Licensing Summit, along with some other T2 details.

Megatron To Return As Tank In Transformers 2, Shoots Special Effects Tech?
These renderings, if they're real, give further evidence Megatron will be making a return in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as a tank. While their authenticity hasn’t been validated, they appear to come from the same far east source that’s been leaking shots of pre-production toy molds for a couple of months now.

Transformers 2: Megatron Really a Tank?
Adding a smidgen of confirmation to rumors that Megatron will be a tank in next summer's Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is this image of a villainous bot with tank treads. While it may just be a concept for a possible design, it definitely looks capable of some serious robo-butt-kicking. The Corvette Centennial had better watch its back. [via seibertron] -

"Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" Trailer Will Force Us To See Star Trek
Despite our desire to never again see a Start Trek movie that doesn't star Ricardo Montalbán, it looks like we'll be going to see the new J.J. Abrams vision for the franchise when it hits theaters next May as Aint It Cool News is reporting the full trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be hitched to it. But, we're also hearing we should expect the teaser trailer for next summer's blockbuster that's the sequel to last summer's blockbuster and is also the prequel for the blockbuster summer movie of 2011 sometime before the end of this year — most likely in November over the Thanksgiving weekend.
