Empire has a batch of new stills from the set of Transformers 2 in Egypt. As you can see, Shia LaBeouf’s missing pinky is covered with a bandage, which was much easier than replacing him. No one else can say, “No!” “Lookout!” and “It’s coming straight for us!” as convincingly as LaBeouf can, the kid’s a natural. Also of note: Michael Bay getting the go ahead to shoot practically on top of the only still-standing one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. I don’t know how he managed to get that permit, but I hope it involved a camel, a shady sheikh, and a briefcase full of cash handcuffed to Michael Bay’s wrist.
UPDATE: Now with even more kablooie, courtesy of USA Today. Nice to see Bay working with a spotter.

Michael Bay convinced the Egyptians he was the god Ra by staging a series of explosions.
Michael Bay answered the riddle of the Sphinx with an emphatic “Fuck You”.
Turns out he was right.
Trying to attract some Google hits with the meta tags, are we?
Yeah, you like that?
I once took a massive shit at Rhodes, but they wouldn’t qualify that as a wonder of the world.
I tried to commit suicide in a Babylonian garden once, but they cut me down before I asphyxiated.
You could have at least pshop’d her tits on the Sphinx…
I once tried to make a joke about all seven wonders of the ancient world, but could only come up with two.
I wouldn’t put it past Bay to make the pyramid a robot too.
They still shooting? we currently bombing Gaza and it’s quite close…
Please let there be a scene where all the cops in the doughnut shops say way-oh, way-o, way-o, way-o.
With a little bit of luck, and the right kind of eyes, Michael Bay will be killed and this will transform into peace in the middle east.
Amen.
You know he’s gonna’ knock the pyramids down, Team America style.
But it’s okay! Because he’ll rebuild them and make them better! Pyrotechnics and chicks in bikinis! And the Sphinx will have Nic Cage’s face! Whoo!
Bah! The Mighty Feklahr would like to smack RDJ around a little, give him a rusty switchblade, and tell him “Yeah, Bay’s got the stuff, but he’s bogarting it!!!”
That crusty old pyramid better hope Devastator isn’t in this movie!!!
Michael Bay’s shirts come in many colours with fragrance!
So, where’s the tits?
*chodin pulls up on bicycle, hops off and waits for reaction from friends*
What!? Nobody give a fuck that my Huffy just transformed from a moving piece of shit, into a standing one?
In Michael Bay’s defense, he didn’t want to film anything in Egypt, but had to settle when God wouldn’t get back to him regarding shooting rights in heaven.
At least we can rest assured that the film crew kept the highest quality of integrity for these ancient relics, while filming beside them…especially the two production assistants who smoked out behind the Sphinx.
new up chodinski
Jaws with Claws? Try Mummies with Semtex!
Bay’s pitch for Transformers 3:
Megan Fox gets gang banged by a group of large robots on top the Eiffel Tower.
The only spotting Bay knows anything about show up in his panties once a month.
Fuck an update. I wanna rape date.
When Michael Bay puts his arms out like that he looks like the “Before” shot of Ricki Lake.
Possible tag line?
TR2NSFORM2RS – “Something seriously sphinx”.
