Decepticon-Starscream
Optimus Prime voiced by: Charles Adler
The second of the Decepticons He is cunning and has no strategy. Although he has always coveted Megatron's leadership position and made no secret of it, he has never been able to achieve his wish. Starscream is even more cruel and militant than Megatron, and is one of the Autobots' formidable enemies. The character of his character in the movie is the same as in G1. He is still a guy who tries to usurp power, stabs in the back, and fails to succeed but fails to succeed. He is the "Decepticon" character with the most lines in the movie after "Megatron".
In the movie, in order not to anger "Megatron", he even flattered him a little bit, but he still did not escape the fate of being beaten by the leaders of both parties. First, he had an arm cut off by "Optimus Prime", and then his residual arm was grabbed and beaten by "Megatron".

"Universal Emperor" (Unicron) was colluding, so he was exiled to another dimension of time and space after his defeat. The addition of "Revenge of the Fallen" gave the title "Revenge of the Fallen" a double meaning. In order to introduce this character, the film also created a series of comics.

In the movie version, the image of "Hercules" has been redesigned. You can't connect the "gorilla" crawling on the ground with the image in the original cartoon. Michael Bay said that this character was very complex to make. It was the most complex digital model that Industrial Light and Magic had encountered in 30 years. It took a lot of time to make it.

A wonderful introduction to the Autobots in Transformers 2
The Autobots----- Optimus Prime
Optimus Prime is not the only Autobot A leader, but he is the most famous one. Many years ago, he was selected by the "Matrix of Leadership" (a firmware in the robot leader's chest, equivalent to a crown) to become the new leader. He has a humble personality, full of justice, and is the embodiment of a perfect hero. When he leads his men to prepare for battle, he always says the famous line "Autobots, transform and rollout!" (Transform and Rollout!).
About the transformation: Regardless of the toy, cartoon or movie version, Optimus Prime is a red truck head after transformation, but the design of the truck head is different.
The origin and setting of "Optimus Prime" in the live-action movie are very different from the original G1 cartoon in the 1980s.
His movie vehicle was originally designed as a flat-head truck trailer similar to G1's Peter Beot 352, but the designers found that his human form was relatively small, so he changed it to the current Peter. Bayot's 379-type dog-nosed truck. According to friends who watched the premiere of the feature film, he still transformed into this type of truck in "Transformation 2", but there was only one complete transformation shot in the movie.
The background of "Optimus Prime" is different in the G1 cartoon and in the movie.
In the G1 animation of the 1980s, in the episode "Back to the Past", it was introduced that the predecessor of "Optimus Prime" was a worshiper "Megatron" on the planet Cybertron. Ordinary worker (some say, this character is a librarian): Orion Pax. Later, he was severely damaged after being used by "Megatron". With the help of "Aviator", his body was transformed by "Master Titanium", one of the ancestors of Transformers, into the "Optimus Prime" in the later G1 animation.
In the universe of the live-action movie series, "Optimus Prime" is the orphan of the 13 Transformers (collectively known as the "Brems") originally created by the "Spark".
I have to admit that the concept of purely organic creatures like "orphans" does seem a bit far-fetched when applied to robots. Before the military commander "Megatron" on Cybertron established the "Decepticon" legion, Optimus Prime was "Megatron"'s deputy. The "Alter 2" movie novel explains that the "Fallen King Kong" once provoked a civil war on the planet Cybertron in order to find him and completely eradicate the "Brems tribe". "Optimus Prime" and others were declared rebels. As a result, Optimus Prime and his supporters also established a tit-for-tat "Autobot" army to compete with the "Decepticons". "Optimus Prime" didn't know his true origin at first. It wasn't until Sam put the "Energy Treasure" into his body and at the same time transferred to him the information about the "Bramus Tribe" and the ancient history of Cybertron stored in the "Energy Treasure" that "Optimus Prime" "Only then can the consciousness of the "Bremsian" in the body be awakened.
Comparing the G1 cartoon back then with today’s movie works, although the origin and background of this character are different, there is a connection between the character of the movie version of Optimus Prime and his model in the G1 cartoon It is still very close. There are countless such examples. One of the most prominent examples is that the original English voice actor of Optimus Prime in the live-action movie is the same person who played the G1 version 25 years ago - Peter Cullen ( Peter Cullen). The shaping of his character is not much different from that in the G1 animation. In "Transformation 1", there are several movie lines that use his "G1 famous sayings" intact.
In the movie "Transformation 1", the orange-red battle ax protruding from Optimus Prime's arm tube during close combat left a deep impression on the audience. This is also based on the weapon design in G1. It was determined that it was fully upgraded in "Transformation 2". Optimus Prime held two axes and went on a killing spree. It can be said that people block people and kill Buddhas, and Buddha blocks Buddhas, without mercy. This portrayal in the movie is far from the tolerant and benevolent role he played in the G1 animation.
Speciality: Outstanding command and leadership skills, able to unite the Autobots. His signature weapon is the laser gun in his hand. In the second episode, his weapon is upgraded to a pair of scorching knives
Autobots - Ironhide
Ironhide voiced by: Jess Harnell
Ironhide is an old friend of Optimus Prime and a weapons expert. The cannons on his arms are from the G1 cartoon. Among the Autobot brothers, he has participated in the most battles. Although he is rough and strong, he has a kind nature and is like a cowboy who is always ready to draw his gun. Ironhide is usually responsible for protecting some important people and objects, and is also Optimus Prime's personal bodyguard.
In the prequel comics of the film, before "Megatron" established the "Decepticon" legion, "Ironhide" and "Starscream" and others were close to each other for a time. Tianhu" behavior and defected to the "Autobots". In the movie "Transformers 2", after "Optimus Prime" was defeated and entered a state of suspended animation, "Ironhide" became the temporary commander of the "Autobots" Earth Army.
About the transformation: In the movie version, after transformation, it is a General Motors GMC TopKick 6500 truck. This type of truck has been officially discontinued by General Motors recently.
"Iron Skin" is also a veteran. One of the "Autobots" members. His character is as violent as he was in the G1 anime. But in the upcoming movie "Transformers 2", he doesn't trust humans so much and has a general affection for humans. It can be said that "Iron" in the film is covered in wounds, the most obvious of which is the scar near his right eye. His truck's license plate number in the movie is California: 4PCI382.
Specialty: Ironhide can shoot extremely low-temperature liquid nitrogen bullets and very high-temperature lead bullets. He is also equipped with sonar, radar, and radio wave detectors. Although he is the slowest of the Autobots, his shell is made of a Trithyllium steel alloy that contains radiant carbon fiber, making him less vulnerable to attack.
Autobots - Bumblebee
Ambulance voiced by: Mark Ryan
Bumblebee is the head of the Autobot family He is young and is often regarded as a little brother by his other companions, but he is no less capable than others when performing dangerous missions. He established a strong friendship with the human boy Sam (Sam Witwicky). In the second episode, Sam had to go to college and couldn't take Bumblebee with him, and Bumblebee cried and had a tantrum about it. The image of Bumblebee in the film is very successful and even more impressive than in the original animated film. Director Michael Bay has publicly stated that he likes this character the most.
The "Bumblebee" in the live-action movie is indeed much more skilled in all aspects than the supporting character in the G1 animation. His identity in "Transformation 1" is Sam's guardian. Judging from the comics of the current live-action movie and the spoilers of "Transformation 2", this guy is also a ruthless character, an authentic "Decepticon" killer, killing as many "Decepticons" as "Optimus Prime". It's just that he still had a problem with his vocal system in the movie "Transformers 2".
About the transformation: Because Volkswagen refused to provide the image copyright of its "Beetle", it was upgraded into a resolute and powerful Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in the movie.
Specialties: Naughty personality, excellent scout, flexible, and in combat mode, the whole head looks like a "bumblebee head"
Autobot - Ambulance
Ambulance voiceover: Robert Foxworth
He plays the role of "doctor" among the Autobots. Although "treating illnesses and saving lives" is his job, He is no less impressive in combat, and his courage and loyalty can stand the test of time.
In the live-action film, he is still the medical officer of the "Autobots", but the robot shape is designed to look like an older man. He is a rational and quiet person, but he is not a combat officer on the first line of fire. In the movie "Transformers 2", it was he who completed the docking surgery of the body parts of "Optimus Prime" and "Skyfire" in the final battle. He has much less dialogue in the film than "Ironhide".
About the transformation: In the original cartoon, he was an ambulance, but in the movie version, he transformed into a GM "Hummer H2" emergency ambulance.
Speciality: Skilled mechanical repair engineer.
Autobots - Female King Kong "Arcee"
One of the few female King Kong in "Transformers", she was originally going to appear in the last episode. In "Transformers 2", Arcee, who is all pink and has a slim figure, and her two sisters will bring some soft colors to this action movie full of steel fights. However, because director Michael Bay doesn't like this character very much, she is likely to be "sacrifice" in this episode.
The personalities of the three "Arcee" sisters are unknown, and their specific motorcycle models in the film are still controversial. They can be combined in the movie novels and comics, but they cannot be combined in the "Transformation 2" movie. They only have two lines. In motorcycle mode, the holographic phantom female riders on their seats only appeared once in the movie. Two of the motorcycles were seriously injured or destroyed by "Megatron" at the end.
About the transformation: In the cartoon, she transformed into a pink convertible, but in the film version, she is a pink Harley-Davidson 2006 Buell Firebolt motorcycle, driven by Megan Fox.
Specialties: Speed, dexterity, energy bow and arrow
