Transformers 2 - Michael Bay finally confirms Megatron returns


For a very long time now after leaked concept art and merchandise toys etc it has been heavily speculated that Megatron would return in the upcoming Transformers sequel Revenge of the Fallen.

Hugo Weaving , the voice of the decepticon in the first film, revealed yesterday that he has already recorded his voice over for the second installment and gave a clue as to how Megatron may make his return saying "doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit of, a little shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with him. Maybe there's something there".

With such concrete evidence as this from the actor himself even Michael Bay, who has admitted he will tell both truth and lies about rumours in the run up to the film , could not hide one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood anymore. Well not exactly. Bay admitted "Okay cat is out of the bag," he said. "Megatron is back - but you will only get to see him from the long lost past. We go way back in time as this movie explains the mythology of the Primes. He is not a tank like everyone suggests." This is probably a lie as it would seem Weaving recorded a voice over that involves Megatron's resurrection.

That said it seems very likely every leaked piece of art and comment we have heard on this subject has been fabricated by Bay himself to add hype to the film. It wouldnt suprise me if Megatron doesnt appear as a tank at all and this was created with the intention of stirring up fan hype.

Give the man Bay his credit though, he knows how to advertise his movie !
