The first live action Transformers movie was a huge success (ultimately it grossed over $700 million worldwide) and you know Paramount is expecting even bigger and better things out of its TF sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I definitely prefer my Transformers to look like they did in the Marvel comic books and animated cartoon series, but I actually liked the live action movie and think director Michael Bay did a pretty good job. I still hate what the movie did to the look of some of my favorite childhood toys though. Why oh why did they give Optimus Prime those horrible red flames!?!
Above is the official Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen teaser movie poster and below are two first look action shots from the upcoming release. The first photo features a battle scarred Optimus Prime while the other photo features Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes and Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky running for their lives. Not too much is known yet about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but I am sure more details will start to leak out any day now as we inch closer to its summer 2009 release.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will debut in theaters on June 26, 2009.
