August 26, 2008: Writers talk TF2:
One half of the writing duo of the upcoming TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN , Robert Orci, has been kind enough to answer questions about the flick over at the TFW2005 messageboards. The thread is currently at 82 pages but the moderators have been cool...
August 25, 2008: Shia LaBloody:
If you like your Shia LaBeouf extra-crispy, it looks as though you might be in luck when he comes back for more Transforming action.

July 30, 2008: T'formers prequel:
No, the third film in the TRANSFORMERS franchise won't be a prequel. IDW Publishing recently announced that they'd be making a prequel to demolition innovator Michael Bay's sequel TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Well, not so much a prequel but a story...
July 23, 2008: Transformers 2 logo:
TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN has gotten itself a logo, which you can check out over at the Official Website . Details on the movie have been kept largely under wraps, but what we do know is that Sam (Shia LaBeouf) and Mikaela (Megan Fox) are at college and...
July 8, 2008: T'formers concept art:
Graphic designer Tim Flattery was cool enough to drop some concept art he did for TRANSFORMERS over on his official site. As you can see below, one of them is a bad ass looking aircraft carrier or submarine or a giant transformer of some kind. It's a good thing...
June 25, 2008: Best T'formers cameo!:
TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE FALLEN is currently filming here in New Jersey and we have an awesome new photo from the set:
Pretty hilarious, huh? No, not that guy to the right or Michael Bay who's slowly inching away from that guy. You have to look even...
June 18, 2008: Transsiberian poster:
THE MACHINIST director Brad Anderson's follow-up, the drama/thriller TRANSSIBERIAN, made a hearty splash at Sundance earlier this year and, lucky for us, media for the film has slowly been trickling onto the interwebs. Earlier this month, the trailer...
June 5, 2008: Transformers 2 title?:
Fans of the first TRANSFORMERS movie probably care more about the impending rematch between huge vehicular robots than what that clash will be called, but director/destructor Michael Bay has clarified the sequel's subtitle:
DreamWorks/Paramount has...
June 5, 2008: TF2 blows up set:
As you may have heard, TRANSFORMERS 2 is filming in Bethlehem, PA. No LaBeouf on set just a bunch of fancy helicopters, a dilapidated factory and explosions. (It's a Michael Bay film, what'd you expect?) The old Bethlehem steel factory has been...

May 28, 2008: T'formers 2 gets Rainn:
Rainn Wilson's performance as Dwight Schrute is one of the very best things about NBC's fantastic "The Office." On the other end of the spectrum, his cameo in JUNO was one of the worst things about an already painful film. Wilson's cinematic success may be...
May 7, 2008: No Jonah for you:
Forget about seeing Jonah Hill transforming any time soon. Talks between DreamWorks/Paramount and Hill's reps have broken down and the actor won't be starring in TRANSFORMERS 2 after all. Word broke late last month that Hill was in negotiations to star in the...

January 3, 2008: Bay talks T'fmrs 2:
I’m against premature sequel-talk, especially when it comes to TRANSFORMERS, since the first film wasn’t all that. But since Michael Bay is money in a Speedo, when the man speaks, I listen. Here’s what he had to say about part 2:

June 15, 2007: Transformers poster:
Another day, another TRANSFORMERS one-sheet, but unlike the recent releases, this one kinda kicks a facefull of bumbum. A full shot of Optimus Prime in ready-to-get-dirty mode is nothing to complain about, so here it is for those of you who can't get enough of...

Well, it's no "You've Got The Touch" but the new theme for TRANSFORMERS is online. It was made available at the official-but-not-official TRANSFORMERS site SectorSeven.org so there's no more information (like who the hell performed it) but the mp3 is zipped and...

April 25, 2007: Bay denies lips?:

April 20, 2007: Are you a Fanaticon?:
