I actually wrote most of that Trivia note (and it has since been reworked on TFWiki.net), for I was the fan who inadvertently alerted Michael Bay to the two interviews. However, your conclusion that IDW Publishing's information confirming the Fallen was false is the opposite of what I intended, as I was actually suggesting that IDW Publishing were silenced by Paramount Pictures for divulging information that they were not supposed to have released at that point in time. - FFN
