The TFW insider has returned with another rumor ‘scoop’, propos­ing that Isabel Lucas’ char­ac­ter, Alice, will be a Pretender.

The TFW TF2 Insider has con­firmed that the char­ac­ter of Alice, as played by Isabel Lucas, in Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen, is a Pre­tender. For those not famil­iar with Trans­form­ers sub-lines from the 1980s, Pre­tenders are Trans­form­ers that are hid­den inside a shell that acts as their dis­guise. In the case of Alice, the shell will be an attrac­tive human woman while the inner robot is best described as a hybrid of the Frenzy robot design from the first movie. The Pre­tender Trans­former will have an arm that trans­forms into an energy weapon, a long tongue, and a scan­ning tentacle.

This block of text explains what a Pre­tender is; prin­ci­pally a robot sur­rounded by an organic shell — in this case Isabel Lucas. Wikipedia reveals more details about the fic­tion behind them, their intro­duc­tion in 1988 and so on. We’ve already seen Alice involved with some messy green goo and an angry bum­ble­bee, what does that now sug­gest? Another scene also shows Alice walk­ing calmly away from some sort of panic or destruc­tion sug­gest­ing some­thing sinister.

Thanks for the heads up Miguel!
