As expected, the toy video reviews for the Mudflap & Skids Ice Cream truck and the red Arcee motorcycle have been posted by Peaugh. These two toys represent the full scale of the Transformers 2 toy line – from awesome must buy to the strange and odd (and ultimately pass).

Michael Bay talks to Forbes

Bay has been talking money with Forbes – interesting facts from the interview; Bay takes approximately 8% of profits from toys based on the movies. As a producer Bay brings in an average 8% of a film’s net earnings. Bay also made a whopping $40m from the atrocious Pearl Harbor movie.

New Divide Making of

Shia & TF2 secrets

Talking with Yahoo movies, about injuries on and off set:

“He hurts his hand in the middle of a human transfer,” LaBeouf explains cryptically. “Sorry this is so mysterious. There’s just certain words I can’t say.”

“Revenge of the Fallen” begins with LaBeouf’s character, Sam Witwicky, heading off to college to distance himself from his shape-shifting robot friends. Sam’s beloved Camaro, which transforms into Bumblebee, sits in the garage “sort of like his (parole officer), his guardian,” LaBeouf said during a recent interview.

While at school, Sam starts seeing symbols through “epileptic seizure-type fits of information transfer,” LaBeouf said. “He just becomes a factual volcano.” The symbols form a map to an energy source the robots need to control sentient beings, LaBeouf said.

The actor becomes visibly excited when talking about “Transformers,” his slight frame buzzing in a button-down shirt and skinny black tie. His left hand is wrapped in gauze, with a splint propping up one finger. “It’s like 11 days out of surgery,” he said, referring to a procedure to remove screws that stabilized his digits after the accident. “It’s not broken, but it’s newly not-broken,” LaBeouf said.

“There’s far more stunts this time,” he said. “Aside from the fact that I was making the whole movie with a broken hand, my knee has stitches, my eye had stitches, my back was gouged.”

During one scene, LaBeouf said he “literally stabbed myself in the eye” and had to be treated at a military hospital. Though credit may be due for toughness, it’s LaBeouf’s natural warmth that makes him perfect to play Sam, the film’s screenwriters say.

Arcee

TF08 are back with more toy shots, this time its Arcee in a particularly strange pose:

The legends class Devastator toy, in which seven vehicles, each with their own robot modes, combine to form one large robot, has been spotted in the wild. The picture shows the combined form of the beast as well as individual parts; some of the boxes for the toys can be seen behind.

A few more pictures of the Legends class Devastator toy have surfaced via ACToys, this is the version that combines seven vehicles into one robot, as well as each vehicle having its own robot mode. This also our first good look at Overload that bears some resemblance to Long Haul.
