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:

* 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:

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
