I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong about Transformers. I just knew that Bay had ruined one of my favorite childhood memories by mixing it up with a stupid love story. Damn you Pearl Harbor! Anyways, Transformers was over for about 8 seconds when I told my wife I couldn’t wait for the sequel. Reports are swirling already that production has already begun on Transformers 2 and about damn time I say!
Nothing feeds geekness like rumors, and IESB has one about some new baddies joining the Decepticons. IESB claims that the Constructicons will be coming to Earth to battle Optimus Prime and the Autobots. Who the hell are the Constructicons you say? What kind of sci-fi geek are you? The Constructicons consisted of Scrapper (front load shovel ), Scavenger (excavator), Mixmaster (Concrete Mixer), Hook (crane), Long Haul (dump truck), and Bonecrusher (bulldozer). One could say that this was a blatant attempt at selling toys to boys. Boys are notorious for their love of construction vehicles. However, the Constructicons were more than your average lazy DOT worker’s plaything. These guys joined together and transformed into the bad ass known as Devastator. While searching for a great image of Devastator, I happened across a completely amazing piece of art created by Alex Javier Carabajal over at Rise Studios. Look below to see the great mock up of Devastator and then click here to see the full sized photo.
Transformers 2, with or without Constructicons, will arrive in theatres in 2009.
