UPDATE: Check out this funnay footage shot on the set of Transformers 2. It shows a ‘bot that looks a lot like Frenzy ruining a windshield. At this point, Bay’s sequel needs a big can of spy spray.
Here’s the non-spoiler part of this post: Shia LaBeouf will ride a motorcycle in Transformers 2. Wow. And it might, just might!, be a robot in disguise. After the jump, we’ll dive into the latest sp-sp-spoiler rumors for Transformers 2 courtesy of the Movie Blog. These spoilers center on odd things happening to LaBeouf’s character in the film, rather than the oddity that is Beetlejuice. Against better judgment, we’ll rank the following spoilers a 7/10 on the Slashfilm Privy Meter. If you’re already shellshocked by the amount of T2 info rolling in—aww—realize that you’re not alone. Feel free to express your exhaustion in the comments. From here on, venture down buzzkill beach at your own discretion…oh, and we’ve also included a pic of LaBeouf/Fox doing something on said motorcycle.
Discuss: What do you think of the spoilers? Sound legit to you? Sounds pretty Michael Bayian to me.
According to a tipster at MB, Shia’s character, Sam, possibly falls under the influence of a splinter he retained from the AllSpark that was destroyed in the original flick. The side-effects apparently hit him while he’s in a college astronomy class taught by Raiin Wilson’s professor.
“On the first day of class, Sam goes crazy just before getting to class for some reason. It seems there is some object that he was exposed to that affected him, our guess is the splinter from the cube. …[In class] Sam read [an entire text book] in five seconds by just flipping through it, then starts telling Wilson’s character about what parts of his book are wrong. He also starts talking about how Einstein was wrong. Sam gets up from his seat and goes up to the chalk board and starts writing a lot of weird symbols on the chalk board (probably Cryptonian).”
It’s said that the next time Sam goes to class, he’s still a little weird. He tells Megan Fox’s character, who’s apparently in possession of the splinter (or whatever it is), not to touch it for fear that it will do the same thing to her. If true, kind of kooky, kind of cool, eh? Somebody should make a YouTube montage of characters in movies who read entire books in just seconds.
Movie Chronicles got ahold of the following image below showing Shia and Fox sharing a “little spark” of their own. Heh heh zzz. Note the red motorcycle and Fox’s lusty arch.

June 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
cryptonian? really.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
There will only ever be one film worthy of the handle “T2″. And it ain’t this one.
June 26th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
I wonder if everyone remembers when Michael Bay said that there will be tons of disinformation leaked about this movie. I feel bad for everyone who is actually believing these new bits.
June 26th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Actually, I’m more shellshocked over Dark Knight spoilers than I am Transformers. I feel like I have already seen the movie 10 times given the amount of spoilers. Why can’t I be pleasantly surprised going to movie anymore when trailers give it all away? Especially with all the spoiler content!!!
June 26th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Alright I’m not a huge Transformers guy, as in never really watched the cartoons or anything, but has there ever been mention of something Cryptonian in the Transformers universe or is Michael Bay treading on Superman territory?
June 26th, 2008 at 8:13 pm

“Thanks,,, ah what’s your name again?, Tell the crew we roll as soon as Robyns finished with the news!
Ok where’s that beetleguys number?”
(Bays assistant). Looking at dinning
room table: addt.(Make sure to get Oakley sunglasses centered in the shot)
“Its right there sir, next to your phone.”

Can’t wait to watch megan fox again
June 29th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
i wanna be the bike.
June 30th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
I watched this being filmed; it was on location at Princeton.
There were a bunch of extras who I knew, too. One guy in particular verified the book story.
And the bike probably won’t be a transformer unless it’s some GM thing. Though there could have been some other deal, I wouldn’t put it past Mike Bay.
June 30th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
sadly to say that megan fox is already married, LOL too bad for everyone.
June 30th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
well the bike will have to be a transformer, duh, follow along with the cartoon man, the bike is one of the new characters that micheal bay will introduce, watch the special features of the first movie, they were gonna add the bike, but didnt.
yeah pretty much GM is main sponsor, except for my boy Barricade, he’s a 2006 Ford Mustang Saleen S281, GM or not it doesnt matter.
July 3rd, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Thats hot
July 6th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Um, when you said “Cryptonian”, don’t you mean “Cybertronian”, because the Allspark is from Cybertron?
