In a recent interview with LATimes, Michael Bay revealed some interesting facts about Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. He states that this one will barely make it to cinemas and that the film takes up an astonishing 140 terabytes of computer memory at Industrial Light and Magic (the first film took up 15 terabytes, for those who are keeping score). The rest of the article covers Michael Bay's filming style (nicknamed "Bay-os" by those closest to him) and outlook on Movie making in general. It is a very interesting read, and you can check it out by clicking on the link above.

The-Arker has just posted some pictures of the new Human Alliance Sideswipe with Sgt. Epps figure. The pictures show a blurred box front and the figure's full bio:

When Sideswipe arrived on Earth, he was a raw, untrained fighter, used to battling alone and outnumbered. He was teamed with Epps so the tech sargeant could whif him into shape as an effective member of the strike team led by Ironhide. The two have become good friends. In combat, Epps' combat-hardened instincts direct the speed and cunning of Sideswipe with devastating effectiveness.

As with the Human Alliance Bumblebee and Sam bundle, Epps rides on Sideswipe's shoulder and can man a cannon in that position. Sideswipe's spinning arm blade gimmick and Corvette Stingray Concept mode are also shown.

The-Arker has just posted some pictures of the new Human Alliance Autobot Skids with Mikaela figure. The pictures show the box front, sides and the figure's full bio:

Autobot Skids likes to think of himself as pretty capable, but the fact is Mikaela is a better driver than he is. With her behind the wheel, and him concentrating on squeezing every last bit of power out of his engine, even the fastest, most powerful Decepticons have trouble keeping up.

The Mikaela figure can also ride a motorcycle (Arcee on the box back) or on Skids' shoulder like previous Human Alliance figures. As for gimmicks, Skids has a deployable machinegun and a launching missile.

The Arker has also explained yesterday's photoshopped images:

First, about Human Alliace Sideswipe*|*s picture which be sent yesterday. The picture has been deal by PHTOTOSHOP before we receive it.

ARKER only upload the first time for releasing it. We deeply regret for the views of the international playing friends.

Secondly, about Human alliance Autobot Skids*|*s pictures, we want to increase the mystery,so we made a small joke.

A clear picture will be issued on time today. Thank you for your consistent concern of ARKER, thank you.
