What smells fishy about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?

I liked the Transformers movie from last years and I'm very excited about the sequel which is coming out next year. Here's the article from WorstPreviews.com:

TFW2005 has confirmed that Alice, played by Isabel Lucas in the upcoming "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," is a Pretender robot. Alice is an attractive girl who befriends Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) in college. Unfortunately, she is a Transformer hiding inside a human-shaped shell.

Here is how one source describes Alice: "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."

Recently a set video, featuring a scene being shot in Princeton University, has appeared supporting the claim that Alice is a Pretender. Watch below as she walks calmly across the campus as students are rushing passed her in panic.

Pretenders is a subline within the Transformers toy line, introduced in 1988. The gimmick was that the Transformers were supposedly capable of disguising their robotic forms through the use of synthetic organic outer shells.
