TF 2 Soundwave and Ravage?

Hear is what at this stage is unconfirmed transformers 2 concept art displaying both Ravage and Soundwave. You can make up your mind weather its fake or not? Keep in mind Roberto Orci (TF writer) already said that Soundwave's alt mode is not a truck. Having said that Bay has stated many times that the production team inst releasing anything regarding the film until closer to its release date, and that allot of "leaked" information could in fact be posted by people involved with the film to trip you up.

Is it fair to say know one expected the robots in the transformers movie to look the way they did. When ever I see concept art for this movie I judge it on what we now know the transformers to look like, because lets face it, know matter how much people cry there never going to look even slights G1. I think Soundwave its always going to be at the centre of controversy when it comes to live action. He is a hugely loved characters and somewhat iconic and what helps fuel this controversy is his appearance, both alt mode and robot mode.

Soundwave transforms into a tape deck from a 30tf robot. This was always going to change, but what makes it hard is keeping some if his visual traits intact for the live action adaptation, which I think is virtually impossible. All that really matters in regards to soundwaves character is his persona and his loyalty to Megatron and of course his electronic voice. Get that down and that’s all he will need and I think that’s all he is going to be able to deliver.

If this concept art is real then I really like it. I can’t in the world imagine how he would ever look in live action. I don’t think he will be a truck as it seems to close to Ironhide and that’s going to confuse people. What i think is the coolest idea yet is Soundwave as a satellite. His Cybertron mode in the cartoon was something simular and he’s a tape deck on earth, he listens and waits. It would be cool if he had been there all along, above the earth watching over Megatron after following him to earth.

As for ravage, well imagine that thing chasing down humans, lets hope its real.
