There are reports of the bumblebee being spotted, check out the pictures posted on Seibertron and Superherohype.

Ok so it wasn’t that bad an injury, a gash just above the eye, but still, sewn back up by the medics and straight back on set.

TMZ first reported this, but further details have emergered that is was inflicted by one of the robots during filming, at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.  Here’s what one guy on set had to say about it:

One troop on the set tells WENN, “He was treated at the clinic at the airforce base by Colonel Torres and then a local ophthalmologist came by to check on his eye. He was in the clinic for about four hours and then he returned to the set once the swelling had gone down.

“We were all pretty impressed. Shia’s making a lot of friends on the set of this film – he’s a real guy who smokes like a fiend. To get up from a movie explosion, which leaves you injured, and get back in there is cool.

“He’s got broken fingers from his car crash this summer (08) and now his eyelid has been slashed open. I guess he’s lucky he still has his sight.

At least 3 scenes will be recorded in IMAX format, and thus the film will be released to IMAX cinemas at the same time as the wide release on June 26th 2009.  This news has now been confirmed by the IMAX corportaion following a recent report in Variety, for the full official news release see below.
