Here's extra photo opportunities for those living in the Los Angeles area! From ArcLight Cinemas' site, they have this to say:

Beginning Tuesday, June 23
SEE Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide and an all-new character...
* See the four TRANSFORMERS cars Tuesday - Sunday EXCLUSIVELY at ArcLight Hollywood!
* Come inside both ArcLight Sherman Oaks and ArcLight Hollywood to check out the one-of-a-kind costumes and exhibits from the film!

Who the all-new character is, we can certainly guess. Check the vehicles out when you go to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, just like when Transformers first came out!

Artist Guido Guidi has also posted up cleaner versions the first 5 pages to All Hail Megatron #12! Drop off your comments at each page and don't forget to check out the rest of his earlier works!

Here for page 1, page 2, page 3, page 4, and page 5!

Michael 'The Living Embodiment of Awesome' Bay was quick to douse earlier rumors that he would not be returning for Transformers 3: This Time, We're Blowing Up the Whole Effing Planet. Master Awesome reported on his blog:

Hah, love press how they spin. Never said it - just wanted a vacation is more to the point. And no I don't read the good or the bad reviews.

The King of the Bad Boys is not abandoning Transformers, he just wants a sabbatical. And after blowing up that much stuff, who wouldn't?

Ok, like, OMG!  TheRealEffingDeal has been, like, posting all these videos, and they're really weird!  There like, this motorcycle, and a toy plane, and they like, change!  Into Robots!  Like they were in disguise or something!  And then, there's like these wierd shadows in Egypt!  I'm totally freaking out.  Even that GiantEffingRobots guy has some of these videos - but mostly he's just, like, mocking the people who post comments.  But those videos!  Like, Crazy thing are happening!

Heads up, Allsparkers!  Paramount's PR team has sent us 8 passes that each admit two people to a one day early RSVP screening of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7:30PM in sunny Hollywood, CA!  If you want to snag one for yourself and a guest, you've gotta move fast!  Just post a Transformers-themed Haiku in this thread by noon Pacific time on June 18, Thursday (TOMORROW), to enter.  The staff will select 10 qualifiers, 8 of which will receive the RSVP Invitation and 2 will be runners up with a small prize for participating.  Please see our discussion thread for all the details, and good luck!

*Update* We truly would like to get these passes out to the fans, so anyone from the LA area send in your name and address and the first 6 entries will get a pass! That's right nothing fancy, you just have to send your name and address in a PM to ChessPieceFace (he's the one with the passes). The new deadline will be 3pm PST. We'll post the winners later today.
