Hello. While most people were working hard at school today, I was working hard at East Coast Park. Cycling over some of the steeper parts of the cycling track required quite an effort. Alright, sorry about that. I'll stop being an ass now.It was fun doing the Watchmen guide, so I decided to do another one. Today, I'm focusing on:
As we all know, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen [RoF] is the sequel to Transformers. It will be directed by Micheal Bay once again, and the cast of the original movie are all in this one as well. However, RoF is going to be a much bigger and more complex film compared to it's predecessor.
While there were only twelve robots in the first movie, RoF will feature around forty robots, some of which will be able to transform into weapons, while others retain their Cybertronian forms. As you can see, this movie is going to be much more confusing than the first one.
Luckily, you have me. I'm going to do a brief introductions of all the main robots, regardless of whether they have been in the first movie or not. Some of these have been confirmed, and while others have not, most people in the media industry are quite sure that they are going to be in RoF.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTOBOTS
Optimus Prime. He is the leader of the Autobots. His appearance remains unchanged from the first movie, in which he was a Peterblit truck cab. Optimus Prime has a laser rifle and a concealed sword that extends from his wrist. Optimus Prime stands at 32 feet tall.
Bumblebee. He is the Autobot that befriends Sam in the first film. His appearance remains unchanged from the first movie, in which he was a Chevrolet Camaro. Bumblebee can transform his right arm into a plasma cannon, and he has a retractable stinger on his left wrist. Bumblebee stands at 17 feet tall.
Ironhide. He is the Autobot's weapon specialist. His appearance remains unchanged from the first movie, in which he was a GMC Topkick C6500 pickup truck. Ironhide has plasma cannons mounted on both arms, two missile launchers, a heavy plasma cannon and a heavy machine gun. Ironhide stands at 21 feet tall.
Rachet. He is the Autobot's medical officer. His appearance remains unchanged from the first movie, in which he was a Hummer H2. Rachet has a rotary saw that emerges from his left arm, and can transform his right arm into a machine gun. He can use his surface photo-electric cellsto render himself invisible. He can move objects weighing up to about 135 tons. Rachet stands at 19 feet tall.
Arcee. She is Bumblebee's partner. Arcee will be appearing in RoF. She was supposed to be in the original movie, but she was replaced by Ironhide. Arcee is pink in colour and she can separate into three motorcycles.Sideswipe. He transforms into a silver Chevrolet Corvette. He has wheels on his feet, allowing him to skate at high speeds, and he has two arm blades.
Jolt. He transforms into a blue Chevrolet Volt. He has two whip like weapons extended from both arms.
Jetfire. He transforms into a SR-71 Blackbird. He is the only Autobot in the movie capable of flight. Jetfire used to be a Decepticon, but due to his age and injuries, he chose to ally with the Autobots instead. Jetfire can combine with Optimus Prime, enabling him to fly.
Wheelie. He is a radio control car.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECEPTICONS
Megatron. The leader of the Decepticons. After he was killed in the first movie, Megatron is resurrected as a Cybertronian tank. He can fire energy bolts, and he has a large cannon. While Megatron has yet to be confirmed for RoF, we can all be quite sure that he will be. Megatron stands at 36 feet tall.
Starscream. The second in command among the Decepticons. His appearance remains unchanged from the first movie, in which he was a F-22 Raptor. Starscream has a missle launcher, a heavy machine gun, and he can detach both his wings and use them as swords. His jet engines end up on his back when he transforms, so they act as a jetpack, enabling him to leap great distances. Starscream stands at 31 feet tall.Soundwave. He is the communications expert of the Decepticons. He can transform into a Cybertronian jet. Soundwave has two minions that take on beast like forms, much like Scorponok from the original movie. Soundwave's minions are called Ravage and Laserbeak.
Alice. She is a Pretender, which is a Decepticon who can assume a biological looking disguise. That means she can look like a human being. She stalks Sam in the film.
The Constructicons. They are six Decepticons who can transform into various construction vehicles. They can combine into one huge Decepticon called Devastator, but since that name was mistakenly given to the tank in the original movie [the tank is supposed to be called Brawl], the name will be changed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Fallen. He was one of the original thirteen Transformers, and became a servant of Unicron, who is this humongous, planet consuming robot whose scale reaches planetary proportions, and he is also able to transform into a mechanical planet. Director Micheal Bay describes the Fallen as "apocalyptic".

Ok, now that you know more or less all the main robots appearing in the movie, we'll all just have to watch the movie to find out what happens because I have no idea what the plot is myself. Anyways, while we're still on the topic of RoF, enjoy this debut trailer for the movie:
Now you're probably feeling excited, after watching that 30 seconds of awesome. I just hope the entire movie will be good. Many movies have sequels, but it is not often that the sequel manages to top the original. I hope Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will follow in the footsteps of The Dark Knight, and surpass the original movie by a whole lot. We'll find out this June.
=======================================================================
I went to cycle at East Coast Park with my mother this morning. We cycled to the Changi airport runway, then we cycled back. It's kinda disappointing that there are not as many pretty girls roaming the place anymore, probably because everything except poly has started, and also because today is a weekday.
I know I might sound like a pervert in that previous paragraph, but I can look at what ever girl I want to look at now. I'm a free person now :D Anyways, here are some photos I took:
We took a bus there. It was a long ride, but thankfully there was no one else on the bus.
I was probably eating this while you were eating your recess :D Ok, being a dick again. Sorry.
Nice sand castle. I feel like acting like Godzilla and stomping all over it.
That's one long sea wall.
There's like a little beach inside the drain lol.
In the middle of no where.
That's actually the Changi Airport runway behind the fence.
As you can see, the track to Changi beach is seemingly endless.
This is one of the Safra chalet units. I'll probably be celebrating my birthday here. If I ask you to come, then you have to come!!
As we cycled nearer to the airport, the planes got lower and lower to the ground.
That is one ****ing big foot. My foot looks tiny compared to it and I'm like size 14 lol.
I accidentally kicked this cat, so I'm making him famous on my blog to make up for it.
Bikes.
Coconut drink.
Inside of coconut drink. I only like the drink. I don't like the flesh.
My lunch :DSince I have so much free time on my hands right now, I'm doing something I rarely do seriously: think. I've been thinking about a whole bunch of things. It is amazing what can happen when you actually think.
I've crafted a [awesome] plan on how not to go bankrupt. Of course, the fact that I don't have any girl to spend money on at the moment does help. But if I didn't bother planning, I would just blindly spend all my money within a few days.
So now I'm restrciting myself. I can still buy whatever I want, just that I have to replenish my money before I start spending again. For example, I have set aside $150 for buying games. So as long as I have this $150, I can buy any amount of games, as long as the total cost is below my budget.
However, if I completely use up this $150, or if I've spent it until I don't have enough cash left to buy a game, I'll have to save back this $150 before I can buy any other game. This way, I'll only be spending that $150, and I won't affect the rest of my cash. Same plan applies to everything else.
Speaking of spending, buying stuff with an ATM card is fun. And much more convinient and stuff, but the fact that it is fun is so much more important. You get to key in your PIN number, and although no one is near you, you still get the urge to shield the keypad with you other hand. It's like, "You wanna see my PIN number? Well, you can't do that you ****er." It's a nice feeling.
I've also been thinking about other stuff, like what I'll be doing with my life a few months down the road, when I'm in poly. I've also been thinking about abstaining from sex and while I agree that abstaining totally, utterly ****ing sucks, I can't just be so easy going about such a thing.
I might have been a few months ago, but I've been through quite a lot over this holidays, and after certain encounters, I learning how to think about this kind of things, rather than just blindly rushing it. My mom says that it's because I'm becoming more mature but...

...so anyways, yeah, the bottom line is, I'm going to be making more responsible decisions from now on :D That was actually quite fun to type out lol. Don't take it too seriously though, I'm pretty serious about these kinda more sensitive things nowadays.
Ok, I think I'm done here. Thanks for reading. Ending off, see you tomorrow.
