Transformers DECEPTICONS - Revenge of the Fallen
 MEGATRON, the Decepticon leader – voiced by Hugo Weaving.
Killed and thrown into the Laurentian Abyss in the first film, he is resurrected by the Constructicons with dead robots' parts as a Cybertronian tank (although some sources claim he is now a Triple Changer, retaining his jet mode and adding the tank mode). He has become stronger as a result of absorbing the Allspark fragments that originally killed him. When reviving the character, the writers chose not to rename him Salvation so as to not confuse the general audience.
 STARSCREAM, the air commander
Charlie Adler voices Starscream, the air commander who transforms into an F-22 Raptor. He flew into space at the end of the previous film, and now returns bearing Cybertronian symbols on his body and commanding a new Decepticon army. Orci confirmed he will have more dialogue. Chris Mowry, writer of the comic book prequels, stated Starscream differs from his 1980s incarnation because "His motivations are more for the species. He's definitely at odds with what Prime and Megatron have been doing. He thinks that they've both been consumed with greed, for their own selfish reasons, but as he finds out, his plans start to fall through as he’s kind of becoming overwhelmed with the same greed that they had. However, Orci explained that during post-production, dialogue additions edged Starscream closer towards his 1980s counterpart.
SOUNDWAVE, Megatron's intelligence officer.
Frank Welker voices Soundwave, Megatron's intelligence officer. He transforms into a Cybertronian craft with jet and satellite capabilities. The concept artists also designed an Earth form of a Chevrolet Silverado for him to upgrade into, which Orci stated was dropped. In the 1980s toy-line Soundwave's alternate mode was a micro-cassette player. The filmmakers had tried to work him into the first film twice, and these roles eventually evolved into Blackout and Frenzy. The latter character was particularly thought to be too different from the original. Welker voiced Soundwave in the original cartoon.
 RAVAGE
Ravage, a minion that resembles a large one-eyed jaguar that transforms into a missile. Ravage is sent to Earth by Soundwave to steal a shard of the Allspark from a NEST base. This shard is used to bring Megatron back online. Ravage later appears in Egypt where he hunts down Sam Witwicky. He is damaged in battle with the Autobot Bumblebee.
According to an interview with producer Tom DeSanto published in issue #15 of the Transformers Collectors Club Magazine the original lineup pitched for the Decepticons in the live action Transformers film was Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble, Skywarp and Shockwave.
Grindor and Scorponok
Grindor and Scorponok, an MH-53 Pave Low helicopter and his scorpion-like minion. After Lennox killed Blackout in the first film, Scorponok hid in the desert, repaired his tail, and is now teaming up with a new character who is virtually a clone of his previous partner.BLACKOUT
Blackout. Despite having been killed in the first movie and not being mentioned in any of the printed adaptations of the movie, the writers have suggested Blackout to be back.
The FALLEN
The Fallen, one of the original thirteen Transformers, is the one who corrupted Megatron into forming the Decepticons. He is trapped in another dimension and was able to communicate with the Decepticons via an interdimensional window. He is capable of opening Space Bridges. It was the Fallen's face, distorted by this window, that inspired the image the Decepticons would use as their insignia.Lorenzo di Bonaventura compared the Fallen to Judas Iscariot.He transforms into a Cybertronian aircraft.The writers selected the Fallen after looking through various cartoons and comics for new characters, because he was the most "elemental" villain. Orci and Kurtzman approached Leonard Nimoy, who they had collaborated with on the Star Trek movie, about voicing the part. Nimoy voiced Galvatron in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie and is also married to Bay's aunt Susan. Orci said Welker might take on the role due to "fan outcry". Bay was apprehensive about approaching Nimoy as "I just feel kind of bad about asking him. Like 'I can't pay you that much, but would you do this voice?'"During a press conference for Star Trek, Nimoy answered that the director should "Call me!" He also said he had heard that Bay was afraid to get a hold of him "for some reason", but he would gladly be a part of Transformers again.
DEVASTATOR/ The CONSTRUCTICONS
The Constructicons / Devastator, a 46 feet (14 m) tall (hunched over) massive robot formed by several combining construction vehicles, who walks in a four-legged fashion resembling a gorilla. He is physically unable to stand upright, but would be 100 feet (30 m) to 120 feet (37 m) tall if he did. His jaws can open up to form some sort of suction vortex, and he seems to have grappling hooks he is seen using to climb a pyramid. In the first film, the name "Devastator" was mistakenly given to Brawl, a tank. In the theatrical trailer for the movie, Long Haul, Mixmaster, and two unidentified Constructicons are seen heading down to the bottom of the ocean in hunt of Megatron's corpse, ultimately reactivating their fallen leader.
Scavenger,
a red Terex O&K RH 400 hydraulic mining excavator, closely resembling Demolishor. He forms the torso of Devastator, along with Overload.
Hightower,
transforms into a yellow Kobelco CK2500 crawler crane and forms the left arm.
Long Haul,
a green Caterpillar 773B dump truck, which forms the right leg. Long Haul's individual robot mode was designed by freelance artist Josh Nizzi as fan art of the original character. The fan art impressed Bay enough to hire him on to the film.
Mixmaster,
who transforms into a black and silver Mack concrete mixer truck. He forms the head.
Rampage,
a yellow Caterpillar D9 bulldozer who forms the left leg.
Scrapper,
a yellow Caterpillar 992G scoop loader who forms the right arm.
Overload,
a red articulated dump truck that also forms Devastator's torso.
 DEMOLISHER
Demolishor, a red Terex O&K RH 400 hydraulic mining excavator;He seems to be almost identical to Scavenger in both robot and alt modes, having only coloring differences. Demolishor is the protector of a small Decepticon community in Shanghai. He is the one seen running through the overpass in the trailers. During production, the film writers simply called him "Wheelbot", and he is referred to as "Demolisher" in the film novel.
SIDEWAYS
Sideways, a silver Audi R8 hiding with Demolishor in Shanghai, China until he is discovered by the Autobots. Sideways is shown diving through a building and alleyway in Shanghai, China. He is chased by Arcee. Evading the Autobot sisters he is eventually chased by Sideswipe. After being cornered by the four Autobots and a team of N.E.S.T. soldiers, Sideways fires pulse blasts in an attempt to escape, but is stabbed through the neck by Sideswipe in mid-air.
 EJECTOR
Ejector, a small pyromaniac robot who turns into a toaster, brought to life by an Allspark fragment in Sam's kitchen. Ejector appeared, unnamed, in Mountain Dew commercials for the 2007 Transformers film.
 SCALPEL
Scalpel, a small, spider-like robot who turns into a microscope. He is a medic and scientist equipped with tools he is seen using to torture Sam. The other Decepticons call him "the Doctor". The packaging of his Scout-Class figure details he is skilled in dissecting and rebuilding almost any living organism.
 The PRETENDER
Alice, a Pretender (Isabel Lucas) who stalks Sam. Her character's form is based on an animatronic Alice in Wonderland figure and her cover is blown by Leo.
There will be other minor robots, including Insecticons, some robots who can transform into weapons and some cooking appliances brought to life by the AllSpark shard, including the toaster bot from the Mountain Dew tie-in advert for the first film. Tony Todd has also noted on his official website that he will be voicing a character in the movie, although it is still unknown who it will be. Bay revealed Tom Kenny will be voicing a character and Tarah Paige was said to play a key role also.
