We all know that Rose Huntington-Whiteley was brought in as the new eyecandy element when allegedly what was left of Megan Fox refused to eat a sammich and Bay decided to move on.
Everywhere I read it, she was to be playing some scientist girl or some scholar of some sort, not outright replacing the actor for the role of Mikaela, and those assumptions might just be right. And the name of her character is Carly.
Well IMDB currently lists her as Mikaela, but as it turns out, that’s not the case. I’m not sure if this has been reported on before, but this is the first time I’ve seen confirmation that Huntington-Whitely is playing Carly, who according to lore, eventually becomes Carly Witwicky, Sam’s wife in the Transformers animated series.
According to The Transformers Wiki Carly is a character from the G1 Animated series who is an MIT graduate and somewhat of a gifted genius. She meets Spike and Bumblebee in an episode titled Robot Arcade and is eventually welcomed as one of the Autobots human pals becoming a reoccurring role in the show.
In the post Animated Feature Film portion of the G1 series, set in the year 2006, Carly and Spike are married, are Earth’s ambassadors to Cybertron and have a son named Daniel.
