I saw a guy who I reckon is unofficially Shockwave (one of the bots who doesn't speak).

Did you see him in the trailer? I dunno. I didn't see any resemblance of him. Usually, they will tell which Robot is in the movie, and if they didn't, there should at least be a toy out. Maybe he was in the prequel comic which I haven't read. Other wise, he's probably going to be merely a background Decepticon who will get destroyed. But then I haven't seen the movie, so as I said from what I know I haven't seen any hint of him. Maybe at the end? after the credits? lol.

There's a background Decepticon who changes into a great big futuristic looking floor standing gun who is promptly blown to pieces.

Unless I was seeing things and it was a tank.

Yeah the background Decepticon is still unknown. If you saw a futuristic Tank that'd be Megs/Megatron

I just read the review on IGN uk, yet to watch the movie i kind of feel that the movie will be just the same as the first one, don't get me wrong i love the first one and i am very excited about this new one, but it feels like there is nothing new on it.

will have to wait and see.

hmmm I don't know critics usually say bad things about popcorn flicks. And that is a fact. Everything with more big explosions and awesomeness they seem to put down. However, Critics LOVE LONG ASS BORING CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT movies. Seems like the general public is going to watch TF2 and not care about the Critics. In other words, Critics = Fail for the modern public.

"Transformers 2" Fun Facts

Robots:

* 14 robots last time, 46 robots this time (ILM only)

* If you had all the gold ever mined in the history of man, you could build a little more than half of Devastator.

* Optimus Prime will be life size on IMAX screens in many forest fight shots.

* Devastator?s hand is traveling 390 miles per hour when he punches the pyramid.

* The pyramid destruction simulation was 8 times bigger than the old rigid simulation all-time record holder at ILM.

* All robot parts laid out end to end would stretch from one side of California to the other, about 180 miles.

* Devastator?s parts stacked tip to tip would be as tall as 58 empire state buildings.

* If all the texture maps on the show were printed on 1 square yard sheets, they would cover 13 football fields.

Disk space:

* TF1 took 20 Terabytes of disk space. Trans2 took 145 Terabytes. Seven times bigger!

* 145 terabytes would fill 35,000 DVDs. Stacked one on top of the other without storage cases, they would be 145 feet tall.

Rendering times:

* If you rendered the entire movie on a modern home PC, you would have had to start the renders 16,000 years ago (when cave paintings like the Hall of Bulls were being made) to finish for this year?s premiere!

* A single imax shot in the movie (df250) would have taken almost 3 years to render on a top of the line home PC running nonstop.

* IMAX frame render times: As high as 72 hours per frame!

IMAX:

* Optimus Prime will be life size on IMAX screens in many forest fight shots.

* Imax frames take about 6 times longer than anamorphic to render.

* IMAX frame render times: As high as 72 hours per frame!

ILM screen time:

* ILM Screen Time is about 51 minutes.

Devastator:

* Devastator is as tall as a 10 story building.

* Devastator has more than 10 times the number of individual parts found in an average car.

* Laid out end to end, Devastator?s parts would be almost 14 miles long.

Devastator totals:

* Number of geom pieces: 52632

* The total number of polygons: 11,716,127

* The total length of all pieces: 73090 feet

* The total length of all pieces: 13.84 miles

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
