Just got home from the IMAX version of Transformers 2 with the lowest of expectations of just watching robots fight.  I got what I came for and now here’s my easy to read review broken into 4 pieces and 2 groups.  Robots, Explosions, Plot, and Tits, grouped into Good and Bad.

The Good Stuff

Robots
I loved them.  ILM once again, brought our imaginations of transforming robots to life.   When fans asked for more robots, we got them.  We asked for more fight sequences and oh boy did we get them. The fight sequences were wonderfully choreographed. You can tell that ILM held nothing back when it came to special weapons and robot brawls.

To read more, just go past the break.  There’s a lot you need to read before watching the movie.  Don’t worry. There aren’t any spoilers.

Ouch

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” hits movie theaters this Wednesday. To celebrate the release of the movie, Performance Design Products (PDP), an industry leader in designing and manufacturing peripherals for all major video game platforms, partnered with Hasbro to developed a line of Transformer video game accessories for the Nintendo DS.

Autobot and Decepticon supporters can choose a Bumblebee or Megatron stylus and armor for the Nintendo DS. Each stylus can be purchased separately for a suggested retail price of $12.99 or bundled with its respective armor for $19.99. The products are anticipated to hit stores this week.

Earlier this year, PDP and Hasbro agreed to a multi-year, international license agreement that allows for the creation of a new line of video gaming accessories and products.

First it was the old Ravage turning from panther to a USB drive, now we have Blaster transforming from robot to a fake laptop with a real USB hub under it. I like this new trend of geek gadgets. If you want one, head over to this page and fork up the 3,980 yen.

Update: I suck. This is Blaster, not Soundwave. -_-;; Flame me in the comment section below. I deserve it.

Remember the old Ravage transformer? He was the one that could change from a cassette tape into a panther.  Back in the 80’s, cassette tapes were the most widely used technology in the music industry. But now, in the age of MP3s, what can an old transformer change into to stay relevant? A 2gig USB drive of course.

This collectors item is up for pre-order for a steep $43 from Bigbadtoystore.com.

Can you hear that? It’s the sounds of explosions, special effects and Megan’s new boobs coming to theaters June 24, 2009.  Below are three new TV spots to keep the Transformers hype going until then. Enjoy.

For the other 2, go past the break.

We also have a video of Megan in her best acting role ever. Check it out.
