As previously rumored, a slightly different cut of the latest Transformers 2 trailer is airing with Night at the Museum 2 and Terminator Salvation. A couple of descriptions have come through about this alternate cut:

The trailer contains: a longer cut of BB in the garage (shorter than showest though), sideswipe doing his thing, a new shot of Arcee, both of the twins talking (something about not being able to read), extended shot in the school library, and more that I can’t remember. Just a heads up for you to be looking around for it!

At my local theater, I had the opportunity to prescreeen a copy of Night at the Museum 2 and the new cut trailer was on there. Some of the footage was old, but more than half was new. Here’s what I remember seeing that was of note:

-Bumblebee crying (Showest footage)
-Twins actually speaking (Sam shows them a tattoo on his arm and they say they can’t read. If you listen VERY closely, one of them sounds like Spongebob. XD )
-Galloway and Epps having a conversation that goes like this
“It looks like a normal truck”
*Optimus transforms* (this is a better, fuller version than the T.V. spot)
Epps: “Freaky, right?”
-Better images of Arcee, but I didn’t see her fully combined.

Don’t remember if there was anything else noteworthy, but I’ll make a second look just in case. Please remember that trailers are only selective to certain theaters and it may or may not be on the Night At the Musuem 2 that you watch.

Paramount Pictures have released a host of new Transformers 2 movie stills, I’m sure we’ve seen some of these before, possibly as screenshots from HD trailers or TV Spots, so I’m posting some of the newer ones:

We recently saw the UK release date for Transformers 2 moved to June 19th, to coincide with the June 15th premiere. Japan’s Revenge of the Fallen release date has also changed, it has been updated to June 20th, probably to coincide with the June 8th world premiere of the movie.

No update on the US release date which still sits on June 24th. And no word on the US premiere either yet.

TF08 have the skinny on more Transformers 2 toy exclusives, this time it’s Long Haul in his box:

Long Haul

Long Haul is too bitter to be an effective soldier on his own. Despite the fact that he is part of one of the most destructive and terrifying Decepticon squads of all time, he is often treated as little more then a cargo hauler. Other Decepticons sling their gear into his bed without a second thought, and order him to carry it around for them. Rather than confront them, he’d rather grumble about it privately, then stop on the way and destroy whatever he’s been given responsibility for.

GM are taking orders for a limited special edition 2010 ‘Bumblebee’ version of the Camaro from June 1st. Including the famous yellow with black stripes and Transformers badging on the wheels and plates and embroidered on the console lid. No pricing available yet.

The next MTV movie awards shall air on May 31st at 9pm/8pm CST, with Michael Bay and Megan Fox set to present. The award ceremony shall feature an exclusive Transformers Revenge of the Fallen clip that shall be presented by Megan Fox and then aired. It’ll probably turn up online shortly thereafter.

The Transformers 2 toy ads will begin doing their rounds very shortly, here is a video of one of them:

Michael Bay’s official site has posted some new CG shots, including our first look at Sideways (the Audi R8). The renders are slightly different to the ones seen previously, these are more likely to be from the video game:

Bay’s site have also posted new shots from the set of Transformers 2, showing Shia and Bay working together:
