Talk:Revenge of the Fallen (video games)

For anyone that's interested, the drone names come from the concept art; The Jeep-like Combaticon is Swindle, the RAH-66 Commanche is Vortex, and the Striker-with-Missles is Onslaught. The Dodge Charger Police-car Protectobot is Streetwise, the News Chopper is Blades (and looks identical to the upcoming Blazemaster toy), and the SWAT Truck is Hot Spot. In both teams, their roles are Scout, Sniper, Warrior. The Omnibots are tricky; The concept art claims they're inspired by the "G1 Warriors" which are Tracks and Windcharger, the Throttlebots, and the Omnibots. The result is a Blue 70's Camaro with a Tracks-like flamebird on it's hood (Omnibot Warrior), and a Red Musclecar (Omnibot Leader). The Aerialbot is Skydive, but there's a bunch of optional color schemes I haven't seen in-game. Likewise, there's a lot of Seeker decos, but Thrust and Dirge are the only ones I've seen.

the concept art is online? -Derik 02:23, 29 June 2009 (EDT)

I haven't found it online yet, no. I just spent some time browsing it as you unlock it in the game. ShinRa Actual 19:51, 29 June 2009 (EDT)

Whoa, whoa, hold up. The concept art on the 360 version, at least, clearly identifies these guys as Combaticon Scout, Combaticon Warrior, Combaticon Sniper, and so on and so forth. There's simply art showing that, thematically, they're inspired by Swindle, Onslaught, Vortex and so forth. We even have the name "Combaticon Warrior" attached to this guy via the Battle for the Allspark v2 game. I definitely move to change these to the generic descriptors which have been shown to belong to these characters. -LV 03:28, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

While I'm at it, I'm not sure "drones" is the right name here, either. These guys have plenty of very un-drone-like dialogue while you're fighting and killing them. -LV 03:30, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

"Body type" is what we used for the Seekers, IIRC.

Annoyign that you've got them all int he same colors... but yeah, it seems like they're sparked TF's, not drones. -Derik 03:38, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

That doesn't seem like it's as much of a problem in the Movie continuity as it would elsewhere - the film itself suggested that there were a LOT of identical-looking Decepticon troopers out there. Hooper_X 09:13, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

The terms like "Combaticon Scout" or "Protectobot Warrior" etc. seem much more role descriptions than character designations, which are pretty blatantly laid out in the Concept art. The Combaticon and Protectobot teams each have a Scout, Sniper, and Warrior. The Omnibots have two different color Warriors (same bodytype tho) and a Leader. The Seeker is shown in Cutscenes as Thrust's deco, but when you actually fight them, they're in another deco. I don't think the Aerialbot shows up at all in the campaign.
