If you run your computer at a resolution of 1280x1024 then you may be interested in downloading the below Lucky Draw Transformers wallpaper. if you don't have your computer in that resolution, then you may want to take a look anyway, for an extreme high-res image of the Gold Optimus Prime toy.

In an interview at IGN Robert Orci confirmed that they are looking to fit Soundwave in Transformers 2.

Q: Is there one particular Transformer, good or bad, that you absolutely had to get into the sequel?

ORCI: Yes.

Q: You're not gonna tell us.

ORCI: I'll tell you. We had to get Soundwave in there.

Q: Nice. Where Soundwave goes, will Ravage follow?

ORCI: Perhaps! Who's Ravage? ... I'm kidding! You know, we had Ravage in an early draft of the first movie and Soundwave, and we couldn't do it right and I think this time hopefully we'll have the ability to do it.

Of cause there is no word on an alt-mode for Soundwave as yet.

MTVBlog have published a brief interview with Transformers Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura in which he talks briefly regarding some of the casting rumours as well as the rumoured inclusion of Broadside.

"Recently, the news broke that Jonah Hill won’t be rolling out in “Transformers 2” after all. It’s sad, sad news for movie fans hoping the sequel would get a legitimate comedic-sidekick injection rather than, say, filling the role with Dax Shepard.

According to series producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the movie has had to move on without the “Superbad” star – but we can still expect some big announcements over the next several weeks.

“No, no,” he said of Hill’s reported casting. “Ultimately, we’ll have a couple casting surprises for everybody soon.”

Director Michael Bay and returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Jon Voight are reportedly on board to return, and Bonaventura confirmed plans to start shooting the movie in Philadelphia and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania next month.

“Michael’s got some really great stuff planned,” he added.

The super-producer, who we caught up with this week on the Downey, CA set of his equally massive blockbuster franchise “G.I. Joe,” also shot down rumors that Bay would finally create a long-rumored character. “A transforming aircraft carrier?” Bonaventura repeated, denying its existence. “We saw a Japanese film that had something like that, so maybe that’s where that comes from.”

“We never really talked about that, practically speaking,” he said of the character who might or might not have been known as Broadside, and who Bay has said was simply too expensive to create. “There was some Japanese animated movie we saw where that occurred, and we were like ‘Wow! Look at that thing!’”

"

Rumours are flying around the web regarding possible cast members for Transformers 2. Two of the names in the list are Teresa Palmer and Jonah Hill.

Jonah's role is said to be a comical sidekick to Sam Witwicky named Sam (from the Transformers 2 cast list, which Michael Bay said was fake).

We have added a review and gallery of the latest issue of the UK exclusive Transformers comic from Titan Magazines. Released on the 1st May 2008, issue 11 of the comic came with three sheets of stickers and is available right now at all good stockist.

Stay with us here at Transformers At The Moon, as we will soon be publishing our own gallery of TransScanning Optimus Prime whom we picked up from Japan where we were there at the start of the month

Seibertron.com have images which they found on TFClub of what is said to be concepts for Optimus Prime from the Transformers 2 film. Obviously these image, and story, are currently filed under rumours, but it does add to the question of how different Optimus Prime will be in the second film, and what type of toy(s) Hasbro will make for him.

You can see the images here.

In a post on his message board Michael Bay has shot down the Transformers 2 Audition list posted by Don Murphy over on his message board as being fake and part of the disinformation campaign.

In Michael's own words "Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other then we are shooting in Philly) is false. We are going to give so much disinformation on this film to confuse everyone".

Is this a case of a double bluff? Time will tell, but its sure to cause more heated discussions around the Transformers and film community
