New Transformers Toys Revealed!
Exclusive: First look at Soundwave



Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is due out this summer, but if you just can't wait until June 26, here's a sneak peak at two of the new toys for the movie, which give a bit of a hint at the characters we'll be seeing.

Admittedly, we've seen the friendly Autobot Bumblebee - the yellow Camaro that befriended Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky in the 2007 original - before, but he's got a nice, shiny overhaul for the seconjd outing with a new front spoiler, cupholders, an 8-CD changer and plenty of room in the back for those long journeys.

But the second new toy is Soundwave, a dastardly Decepticon who almost made it into the first film, only to have his Transforming trademark (he turns into a cassette player) given to Frenzy. Still, Soundwave is something of a fan favourite and he has made it in this time around ,with something of an upgrade. The logical progression would have been to turn him into an MP3 player, but Bay and his team have instead turned Soundwave into a jet. A supersonic one, we're guessing.

First Look At Transformers 2's Beat And Trax

Yesterday we got our first look at Soundwave, one of the new transformers who will show up in the next robot stompin movie, today we’ve got two more. Below you’ll see an image of two new characters named Beat and Trax. Yeah they’re transformed out of a Chevy Beat and a Chevy Trax.

In addition to being in the movie, they’re also in the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen videogame. That’s where the image comes from, tossed rather carelessly up on the game’s registration page and emailed to us by an alert, CB reader. Of course this isn’t exactly what they’ll look like in the movie. It’s more concept art meant to advertise the game. But it should give you a feel for what you can expect from them. Take a look:
