The news actually came out yesterday that the upcoming Transformers sequel has a new name. No, it isn’t “GoBots Do Dallas”, but rather just a sub-title. Transformers 2 is now going to be called “Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen”
Now me personally, I don’t mind this title. I HATE it when sequels don’t have numerical consistency (Like how they called National Treasure 2 “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”) and this one has both… so I’m cool with that.
Also, the sub-title itself, “Revenge of the Fallen”, is a bit cheesy, but perfectly in keeping with the Saturday morning cartoon brand.
The title does give a huge piece of the movie’s plot away (not in a spoiler type of way). I think we’re safe to assume we know who the title is talking about… MEGATRON. Yes Megatron was defeated in the first one… but we all knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that when they dropped his body in the Ocean that we’d be seeing him again (not to mention, in the cartoon we sometimes see a Decepticon base coming out of the ocean).
The only question is… will Megatron himself be back… or the re-created version of Megatron known as GALVATRON???? Personally, I think it’s too soon for Galvatron and would rather see Megatron stick around a while. HOWEVER… if they do go the Galvatron route, and manage to get Leonard Nimoy to come on board and do the voice… that would be freaking awesome!
So what do you think about:
1) The title
2) The option of either making Megatron come back as himself, or as Galvatron?
