Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Footage!


Earlier this month, director Michael Bay received the Vanguard Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 30th Annual ShoWest, and after accepting the award, Bay gave the exhibitors in attendance a special treat by sharing the first never-before-seen footage from his upcoming sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Now, you can see that footage for yourself as Mr. Bay has graciously posted it to his own official site MichaelBay.com for everyone else to enjoy. It starts with a 90-second clip of Sam telling Bumblebee that he's going off to college and then a quickly-cut montage showing many of the robots we'll be seeing in the sequel.

UPDATE: Looks like Paramount has removed the video for some reason. I'll try to post it as soon as it becomes available.

Thoughts:
Looks really exciting and seems to be a worthy sequel to the first. The story seems to be going in a more mature and darker way. The robots look incredible and I'm sure they will look amazing on the big screen. I'm not too thrilled about Bumblebee crying because it looks pretty stupid. Damn does Devastator look fucking huge and simply awesome. This is the one movie that's coming out this year that actually has a strong chance of matching The Dark Knight's box office numbers.
