In just over a month, June 24th to be exact, audiences around the world will be treated to the latest battle for earth between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is one of the biggest budget movies on the summer sched. There is more robot eye candy than you can shake a stick at, with bigger, badder machines than ever before. Bay has been criticized for playing coy about which robots we’ll see in this latest episode, and he’s gone toe to toe with the creators of Terminator Salvation, stating that their larger than life bots are a clear ripoff of his blood, sweat and tears.
IMDB perpetuates the hype with the following synopsis (spoilers ahead): “The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron’s dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.” Until we’ve had a chance to screen it, the jury can’t weigh in on the plot.
