This rumor is just the latest foray into the possible character joining the film, which has been ongoing since the film's title was revealed.
A couple of months ago, IDW Publishing writers Simon Furman and Chris Mowry seemed to confirm this talk in separate interviews with Comic Book Resources and MTV, respectively.
The two writers were promoting their own comics tied into the movie, as Mr. Furman will be writing the comic book adaptation of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," and Mr. Mowry will be responsible for penning the prequel, Destiny: Alliance #1.
While The Fallen was explicitly mentioned within both article write-ups, all mentions of The Fallen have since been removed by the websites.
What the rewrites of the articles exactly means is unknown, but given the events that have transpired, it would seem fair that insider or not, we can call this one a pretty big possibility.
