A batch of new Transformers 2 pics have gone up over at IESB, and as you can see – GRRRR, ROBOT CROTCH BULGE!  Anthropomorphizing the robots just gives them more… personality, ya know?  Kinda like how in the first one, there was a jive-talking, break-dancin “urban” robot named Jazz who of course got killed in the first battle.  I guess even in the robot army they make the black guy go first.  Oh, and also you get to see a picture of “Devastator”.  IESB sez:

In one totally sick shot, Devastator’s immense size is shown in comparison to everything around him. Plus Optimus Prime is looking tore up from the floor(board) up. [*air guitar* -Ed.]

Whooooaaaaa, dude, they totally zoomed out really far so they could CGI an EVEN BIGGER ROBOT in there!  My mind is officially blown!  The future is wow!

In a recent interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Scott Farrar, Michael Bay’s visual effects supervisor, says of Transformers 2:

"It’s all going to be dramatic. I think the commitment is not to just chuck out a sequel. The commitment is — and this makes us really happy here — that it’s a deep story. There are lots of layers to the story of all these Decepticons, everybody. And so they want to really keep the characters rich."  Farrar adds, "I think we’ve learned a lot about lighting, and I think we can go to much moodier lighting. Lots of things. It’ll be improved." 

That’s awesome – I mean, here I thought Megatron was just born evil, but that’s silly; no one’s born evil.  Really his acting out is just a manifestation of his bitterness, caused by his molestation by a trash compactor at the impressionable age of 147.  Oh Megatron, it’s not Allspark you’re after, but a father figure!  

And Jazz, he sings, dances, and talks in a black voice – it’s not his fault he’s such a a stereotype.  His parents were never around.  They should have been teaching him to read and helping him understand the meaning of love, but all they ever did was go out clubbing while leaving poor Jazz home to watch Michael Bay movies.
