to be fair, that's probably the most creative thing i've seen from this movie so far.

Wow.

Like..

Wow.

Would that make us dudes watching it being involved in a gay act?
Seriously thou, Devestator has balls? WTF?? Why can't the Transformers just look the way they are supposed to look?!?

Five minutes into the first movie, I shut the fucking thing off and instituted what I am certain will be a lifetime Michael Bay-cott. Fuck that guy. Seriously.

Oh, come on. This is a low blow. (as it were.)

Looks like Bay is pre-empting the inevitable(?) pr0n rip-off, like what occurred with Star Trek.

Will a scene involving Arcee attempting to seduce Devastator appear in the film?

Foolishly, as a lifelong Transformers fan, I bought the DVD for the first movie (I don't GO to the movies anymore) and watched it with my wife at home. After it was over she turned to me and said "Screw the $15. Where do I go to get those two hours of my life back?" And I agree. Never again will I waste my time with a Michael Bay movie. And Shia? After Indy IV I'll never pay to see a movie with that loser in it again.

The geeks at the CGI division could have rebelled, they could have walked out, they could have painted each ball with Michael Bay's face. Actually, they might have - look for it on BluRay.

so?

Decepticles?

Devastator - Now with 96% more tea baggin action!

@Cory
Bay-cott??? Love it!

@Kevin
Decepticles??? Love it more!!!

I can just imagine the meeting about that (and wish I was there)

Guy 1: So, Devastator is made up of a bunch of other robots, which ones have we got? And where do we put them.
Guy 2: I was thinking of putting one of those big cranes with a wrecking ball in it.
Guy 1: But where are we gonna put that ball?
Guy 2: I know something, and it's gonna be awesome!

Heh.
Heh.
Heh.
You said nards. I haven't heard that word in years.
And we all said that Bay had balls and was showing them making these trainwrecks. Are we really suprised that he included them in the final cut.

I give up. There's only so much stupidity one can take.

I'm not surprised.

Decepticles... @Kevin, you win. The rest of us, we lose. How...what...why...GAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

Adding balls to things is hilarious. Argument over.

I have to admit, I really liked the first movie, so Ive been giving Bay the benefit of the doubt here; didn't care to much about Bay's robot misogyny, I thought the reaction to home alone-wheelie was overblown and unwarranted, but TR is determined to make me not see this movie........

I really cant put any positive or neutral spin on this one. What the Fuck Micheal Bay!?Seriously?

Adds new meaning to "You got the touch," though...

"In our darkest hour, the nards will guide us!"

I think this movie had just upgraded itself from watching on DVD at home to watching on DVD at home with Rifftrax.

I think Bay's "Transformer Name" should be Trainwreck.
OTOH, his movies are just High Collateral Damage + Some Babe, which is alright w/ me.

More than meets the eye!

Wait, I don't think any of Devastator's components even has a wrecking ball...

Didn't care at all for the first Transformers and I really, REALLY don't wanna see this one... sadly my bf inexplicably LOOOOOVES the Transformers movie and is literally counting down the days to this next one.

I don't get it. He's got mad nerd-rage for every comic book movie ever made except Ironman and Watchmen because they're not "authentic" enough (seriously, his only complaint with the first X-men movie was their costumes being black instead of primary colours but that was enough to make him "hate" it). I just... wtf. I don't get it. I'm glad I have TR to share my hate.

I waited for the first one to come out on DVD to purchase before I watched it. Looks like I'm just going to pass on the second one.

Alexander from Robot Jox wants his royalty check.

Other than "I fucking hate Michael fucking Bay" I just can't be bothered to waste any more time on this pile of shit. I'll bet that Wanker will be chuckling in his sleep for the next few months over how "hilarious" it is to add bollocks to a fucking robot.

Lets fast forward the next two years and get the Third Turd - Rodimus with Tits anyone? - out of the way so the Franchaise can go weep in a quiet corner and die unloved and unmourned by anyone over the age of 14.

If they're not filled with nano-sperm, they're not rob-testicles.

So where can I get my "Will someone please fucking kill Michael fucking Bay?" t-shirt?

Lay off attacking the live films and just cuddle your old TF toys in the basement. If you could do better, you'd be making movies, not blogging about them online.

Skeletors_hood, if somebody gave me the budget that Bay had I sure as fuck could make a better movie than he did with the first one.

@ Skeletors_hood

That's just stupid bullshit. Fuck the live action Transformers. It's been lowest common denominator film-making from day one, and dumbasses making excuses for it only make things worse. That's how you get nipples on the batsuit, and that's how you makeshift nutsacks on robots.

But Are there G1-Transformer Plushies? (or plushes? whichever is the non-sexual one!) I would totally cuddle with Optimus.

...or perhaps an Optimus Hoodie?! Ah!

I would laugh till my head fell off it this weren't so tragic.

manobon> As it so happens, there are. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. They even transform (like a Popple)!

As for this news? All I can say is "..."

He HAS to robo-cum all over Megan Fox's face.

It won't be classy unless that happens.

Yet another reason to not see this dreadful movie.

Sounds fake to me.

Real story or not, that's hilarious and if true probably won't be much to even look at nor give ten damns about. It's a cheap laugh and that's fine by me.

I'll still be there first day.

all this puling and snark gives me a headache. you seemed more positive before doing this fulltime, rob.

i'm stepping out for a while.

peace, decepticons.

I'm not emotionally attached to Transformers and even I'm offended.

I'm glad he did just so this article was written and someone got to drop the Decepticles line. I can't stop giggling.

The more it pisses off everyone at Topless Robot, the more I like it. Keep it up, Bay. If you're lucky all the uptight, raging nerds will have aneurysms over how much money "Revenge" makes, therefore purifying the Internet and bringing peace to the web.

Light our darkest hour...with Decepticles!

Wow. It's shallow, but by now the only reason I'm going to see this thing is for Megan Fox. She's HOT. As for the rest, I'll be laughing my ass off at the rampant stupidity.

Greg Easton: Seriously, can the lovely Lady Linton make us one of those?

PS: Rob, you totally stole that picture from Wonkette. BIG SALE ON TRUCK NUTZ, also.

this proves that Bay is bound and determine to destroy the transformers forever . though one can figure that in editing devestor will wind up missing his nuts.

I don't even know what to say anymore Michael Bay, I really don't.

You know, hating on Bay won't change things. If anything, it'll just goad him into the next horrible step:

Taintformers!
Neither front nor back!
Taintformers!
Nether realm attack!

Anusbots fighting to control
their fleshy boundary with...
the Decepticles!

(And yes, I think Kevin, above, has already had a soul-shattering glimpse of this future. So props and sympathies to him)

He looks very animalistic... I wonder if he tries to hump a cruise liner or something

The more it pisses off everyone at Topless Robot, the more I like it. Keep it up, Bay. If you're lucky all the uptight, raging nerds will have aneurysms over how much money "Revenge" makes, therefore purifying the Internet and bringing peace to the web.

Dude, it doesn't have to offend nerds to be stupid. I don't give a rat's ass about Transformers, but sticking truck balls on one of the Decepticons just epitomizes the stupidity of "typical" summer action movies. Only an idiot thinks that's funny or clever.

This is probably fake. Only one of his components is a crane, and it's an arm...

And a million scary bad fanfics were born on the intrawebs.

the more people hate it the more i love it.

@ Xanthippas

Yes, but it's stupid that nerds are offended at all.

I can't see what everybody is complaining about. Hollywood Reporter LOVED it.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/film-review-transformers-revenge-of-the-1003984572.story

Still think GI Joe is going to suck more than this???????

immature morons

I had refused to watch the first Transformers movie, but wound up seeing it while hanging out with some friends. I didn't know that was the movie they had rented. I was really drunk, and really stoned.

My altered state of mind didn't prevent me from seeing flawed logic, tragic loopholes, and shitty acting though. No more Bay. No more Shia LeDouche.

I was one of those people who always scoffed at the older folks who complained that "the original was better" or that "a contemporary update makes no sense" as curmudgeons who just need to wake up and join the rest of us. Transformers was the first movie/TV show/video game/whatever to turn me into one of those people. Michael Bay raped my childhood and didn't even call it the next day. I can't remember a time I openly cried out "WHAT THE F**K!?" during a movie. I can understand there are millions of people who never even knew there was a toy line, cartoon, and far superior movie 25 years ago, much less seen it - but it still won't ease the pain when this MegaTURD makes more than Star Trek.

Yay ExecutorElassus for catching what we're all looking at in that picture. Also.

If Blackarachnia has tits, Devastator can have balls.

what's wrong with bots having balls,what is the big deal? I don't get it

i bet most of you don't have any,especially u rob (and those pom pom pussy posters friends of yours)

Ha ha ha that's a great joke. That can't possibly true right?

Love some of the terms being thrown around in here.

But had a nice chuckled with the Monster Squad reference in the title. The movie is an all time favourite.

On a completely related note....This is the entire reason I will see Transformers at IMAX.

http://www.wwtdd.com/2009/06/holy-crap-11/

wow

i bought transformers for $5 at best buy a couple months ago for the sole purpose of saying i have it. my girlfriend wanted to watch it so we did, and i heard exactly what was wrong all over the internet. too much human story. now i have a new complaint: too much cgi taint. thanks to you, watchmen, and now you, transformers 2: how to cash cow megan fox for unappealing reasons.

I saw the first movie... Geek or not, Nerd or not; It was a bad movie. Dumb jokes, crap acting, hackneyed drama. The fact that it farts all over the source material is immaterial once you begin watching it. Also, no amount of explosions or skanky sluts can make me like a movie. This next film just looks like more of the same.

Ok now he's just trying to hard

B-but...

WHY?!!?

I would seriously check the authenticity of that claim. i saw that picture weeks ago on holytaco.com....

Seriously, the more I see you nerds get bent out of shape about stuff like this, the more I enjoy it, and the more I want to go see this movie if only to see how it's going to piss you off. I'm sure this is bogus, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Something tells me though that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Reading that excerpt carefully, it sounds to me more like the wrecking balls are coming from Devastator's midsection, NOT from between his legs. Had that been the case, then yes it's painfully obvious. So okay, Devastator's got balls. Ha ha. Cute joke. Moving on. I'm sure it'll play a lot better when you actually see it.

Again, between G.I. Joe and Transformers you nerds are taking all this waaaaaaayyyyy too seriously. Transformers itself is an inherently fun concept. Who doesn't like to see giant transforming robots beat the shit out of each other? All you nerds have done is just weigh it down with lore and other ponderous stuff that, in the greater scheme of things, isn't important. The thing I love about Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci that they did with Transformers - as well as with Star Trek - was that they took the stuff that made those properties so appealing in the first place (i.e giant transforming robots beating the shit out of each other in Transformers. Cool aliens and spaceships blowing up in Star Trek) and made them accessible to a larger audience so they could understand why WE liked them. Isn't it the hope of every nerd for other people to understand why they like what they like so they can stop being picked on for their interests? It was with me. But if you want to continue being kicked around on the metaphorical playground of life, be my guest.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to this movie and in all likelihood I'm going to enjoy it no matter what anyone says here. In fact, I'm probably going to enjoy it all the more knowing in the back of my head that there's a bunch of nerds out there getting their panties in a wad over stupid shit like this.

I love the way the longest post in this thread is someone getting bent out of shape about people getting bent out of shape about a movie.

The first movie was terrible. Not because it wasn't about the robots fighting, not because it had nothing to do with transformers, but just because it was a terrible movie. Bad acting, bad writing, bad characterisation, terrible jokes, shoddy camera work (Hollywood realised a few years ago that if you never stop moving the camera during an action sequence then noone can see whats going on, but still thinks its cool)

I'm sure the second movie will be even worse, for all the above reasons. Michael Bay is a terrible director, Orci and Kurtzman are bad writers.

"revealing two wrecking balls dangling down..." At least its not GI Joe...

This is a problem? I mean of all the relentlessly insipid garbage involved in these movies... and THIS is a problem?

More than it's balls, I'm more concerned about the movie's three ridiculous boobs: Megan Fox's and Shia Lepoophead.

You know, if you really want to see Megan Fox, there are pics of her all over the internet... Videos too; I mean you really dont HAVE to see this movie.

honestly, Little secret, everyone has kind of worn me the hell out with Megan Fox. but, That's just me I guess.

What I think is hilarious is that someone thinks they saw giant transforming robots fight in the first movie.. All I saw was a robot pee on john turturro and a robot play hide and seek in a backyard and a little robot get torn in half by a big robot. The rest was a bunch of blurry pixels and the beef.

I loathe Megan Fox. She's got dead eyes.

She's the living embodiment of The Uncanny Valley.

...She's The Uncanny Valley Girl.

And I love how someone ridicules another for his/her staying positive & verbose, and for realizing how pointless it is to bitch over what is essentially a summer monster movie directed by Michael Bay, and not a remake of The Godfather.

Why didn't anyone bitch this much about the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still? THAT unnecessary pile of shit was something to get up in arms about.

Not wanting to see truck balls on one of the Decepticons isn't "lore and other ponderous stuff." It's just wanting the movie to not be so blatantly stupid.

What's up with all the people posting here with the "You nerds"-comment? As if you aren't nerds? Reading this site? No matter how you spin it, and I am not a big Transformers Fan (not since I tried to rewatch the original series on DVD as an adult and realized how horrible that was), but I recognize a horrible movie when I see one, and Michael Bay has yet to make one.. Seriously, I checked. All his movies are crap.

This is awful.
Hey "Ian", your mom is a cunt.

.......Balls?

Seriously?

Balls....on Devastator?

I have the oddest feeling that i've stepped into a twisted alternate reality...
..I have that feeling more and more every day.

Okay, first off, I have just one comment to make regarding the comments here: wow. I can't believe how many people are trashing the Transformers films just becaus ehtey don't like something that's seen for 5 seconds during a 150-minute presentation. That's really sad. I get that you all have your reasons for not liking the films (thinking Bay sucks, the storylines of the films suck, the CGI sucks, etc), but grow up about the small details. So what if Devastator is given balls in Revenge of the Fallen? Who cares? Simmons makes a comment about it that makes it momentarily comical, which is exactly the point of having done that. I for one have not seen anything involving transformers other than the 2007 and 2009 films, and a little side research to get some random facts about key characters, but I love each of the films. I've looked forard to seeing each of them from the moment I found out each was being made. I will admit, some of the jokes pulled here have been rather funny (and some even clever), but please cut these films some slack. I can understand if you don't like it for whatever reason, but please do it the decency of at least showing it a little respect and not trash-talking it into the ground. I think Michael Bay did a terrific job directing both films, and that both films are amazing. I really loved the storylines, and can't wait for Transformers 3 to be released in theaters June 2012. You can go about saying your opinions of these films, and say what you don't like about it, but don't try to kill it for some random tiny detail that lasts only a few seconds that really doesn't matter one bit, and please don't trash-talk it into the ground. I won't be mean to you and call you nerds (as has been mentioned repeatedly). But considering the other films that get released this summer, you gotta cut Revenge of the Fallen some slack. There's films that are far more pathetic and lousy released this summer, so you should actually be thankful these films came out as great as they did. Just think of it this way: it could extremely easily be faaaaaar worse!

todititiitos se cayaron con ese ultimo comentario :D pues si tiene pelotas y que. son grandotas.. otra parte en la que un robotito se estaba sobando con la pierna de megan fox.. y mas con ese tipo de humor. pero estubo buena hehe

Both movies ROCK OUT LOUD! I hated Transformers before I saw the movies, but now, I love them.
