In an email dated May 4 leaked to TMZ.com, Michael Bay blasted the lack of promotion in print ads for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. In the message Bay complains that the print campaign was ineffective and an "abject failure". He goes on to cite advice from Jerry Bruckheimer:
Jerry always told him "a studio that does not make [the opening of a movie] an event ... will get bitten in the ass." He then adds, "Besides my good friend Steven [Spielberg], Jerry has made a lot more successful movies then (sic) all of us." A further email, dated June 6, does go back on this statement and thanks Paramount for raising their game. Click here to read the full story over at TMZ. |

TFW2005's Joe Moore had the pleasure of playing the ROTF Video Game all weekend and has reviewed it for us all. I also played it, and got my ass kicked on multiplayer a bit, so I've added some thoughts too.
Check out an in depth review of the hit game by heading over to the thread here: TFW2005 Reviews Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen The Game (Xbox 360, PS3). Remember, the official Transformers Revenge of the Fallen video game is out TODAY, - right now, for all major platforms. Go get yourself a copy and get online with your fellow 2005ers! |

Remember, the better this thing does, the better things will be for us toy-buyin nerd boys down the road. After you go see this bad boy, make sure to head over to our discussion thread and talk about it.

In an interview with Scifi Wire, Industrial Light and Magic's Scott Farrar reveals that the special effects heavy sequences of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, rendered in high definition for IMAX, nearly caused ILM's rendering computers to break down. Indeed, after one overnight session, several machines "blew up" in a puff of smoke.
The interview also goes into detail about the creative process of the film and the challenges of producing the special effects - as well as the process of getting everything approved by Hasbro to ensure the designs could be made to work as toys. Check out the full article by clicking on the link above. |

Paramount was looking for bigger with Michael Bay's highly anticipated Transformers sequel and it looks like they've got it. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen debuted to a record $16 million last night, the most ever for a Wednesday midnight run. (Warner Bros.' The Dark Knight scored $18 million for its midnight run last year, but that was on a Friday.)
So how high will Transformers 2's grosses go this weekend? Predictions have ranged anywhere from $125 million to $160 million for the five-day frame. Whatever the number, it will be good news for the box office, which is having trouble maintaining last summer's record draw. |

We have received official, high resolution images of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Constructicon Devastator toy! This, the most gigantic of all the Revenge of the Fallen toys comes with a wallet-devastating price tag of $100, but also comes loaded with features as the sales copy advertises:
Combine all six detailed vehicles – including MIXMASTER vehicle with motion-activated vehicle and conversion sounds! – to create the mighty CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR figure! Lights and destruction sounds show his enemies he means business and when this CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR figure speaks, they’re sure to run in fear! Recreate exciting movie scenes right in your living room with this super-cool figure. So for your money, you've got motion activated SFX on the individual Mixmaster vehicle, plus full lights, sounds, and even speech on the combined Devastator. As previously advertised, there are also animatronic features in the face. We have also received images of the next release in the Revenge of the Fallen Battle Chargers line - Stealth Bumblebee is an inverted colors repaint of the Battle Chargers Bumblebee, bringing back the yellow stripes on black bodywork deco of the first movie line's Deluxe class Stealth Bumblebee. |

Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood Daily is reporting that box office returns for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have smashed the previous box-office record for a Wednesday opening in the United States. The movie grossed at least $55 million yesterday, even $10 million higher than their own studio (Paramount) estimated. The box office overtook by far the previous record holder, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at $44.2 million. The $55 million take on Wednesday now means the movie is on track for a $170+ million 5-day opening.

2005 Boards member chinaseller has posted images of a repaint of the Universe Leo Prime figure that possesses a color scheme similar to that of Lio Convoy from the Beast Wars II line. At this time, no confirmation of this figure has been announced from Hasbro. Therefore, it is unknown when this figure will be released and under what line it will be marketed under. In the meantime, check out the images by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

If you haven't gone to the theatres to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen yet or you are going again soon, pay close attention to a certain scene. According to an article on VH1, visual effects supervisor Scott Farrar states that R2-D2 of Star Wars fame was added in a scene as a piece of "junk". The visual effects for the movie were done by Industrial Light & Magic, who also create the visual effects for the Star Wars movie. For information on what scene R2-D2 may be featured in, check out the VH1 article.
