The TransformerLive Blog has updated with a video of the Ice Cream Truck from the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, currently filming in San Pedro.

Meanwhile X17 Online has posted new pictures of Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf from the set.

In an interview with the Reading Eagle, Transformers veteran voice actor, Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, Ironhide and others in Generation One and Optimus Prime in the live action Transformers, talks about his work on Transformers over the years as well as his other projects.

In terms of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Peter comments that his voice recording sessions have already begun. "I worked with Michael a few weeks ago and we did some of the opening dialogue, the opening speech and then a couple of scenes with Shia LaBeouf. Shia wasn't there, of course. I just worked from the script.". When asked about the story to the second of three Transformers movies, Peter replied "They're very secretive about the story, I only know the lines I've read, and I'm not allowed to disclose any of those. But the amount of success that 'Transformers' had on a financial level is providing a lot more screen time for Optimus Prime. It's very expensive to do all these robot characters because of the 10,000 moving parts. Thankfully we were a hit, so there's 'Transformers 2' and maybe 'Transformers 3.' I think 'Transformers 2' is going to be an incredible, incredible picture. I can see the excitement in the faces of the people involved, and it generates quite a bit of excitement in me too."

Yahoo recently ran a Top Sci-Fi Movies of all time poll, which like many an online poll run nowadays, came back with some surprising answers. The top three films were listed as follows:

1. Iron Man
2. Star Wars: A New Hope
3. Transformers

ComingSoon.net is reporting that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will open at IMAX's accross America simultaneously as it is released across regular cinemas.

The film has a scheduled opening screening of 26th June 2009 (with several advance and industry showings previous to that, as well probably being shown at that years BotCon event.

HollyScool.com report that "Injured SHIA LaBOEUF's robot-fighting TRANSFORMERS pal JOSH DUHAMEL insists the young actor is recovering well from hand surgery.
LaBeouf was hospitalised last month (Jul08) after a Hollywood car crash left him with a smashed hand. The accident stalled filming on the Transformers sequel, but co-star Duhamel, who is in constant contact with LaBeouf, insists his pal will be OK. The actor tells HollyScoop.com, "He is at his best. Shia is doing just fine. He's doing great."

E! Online have shot down the rumour started by StarMagazine, whose website has since gone offline, that Transformers leading-man Shia LaBeouf called up the producers of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen yesterday, to inform them that he may need to amputate one of his injured fingers as a result of the car accident in West Hollywood on July 27th. Slashfilm picked up on the story and began to spread around the internet. Shia's agent spoke with E! Online and said that it was a "completely fabricated story"�

In an interview with MTV, IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Mowry has revealed a little more regarding the five part Transformers: Destiny series that IDW will be releasing. The key points of the article are yet further confirmations that both Soundwave and Arcee will appear within the live action movie, as well as other fan-favourites, and that "The Fallen" will indeed be a character and not just a reference to the returning Decepticons.

"[We're going to] explore the background of The Fallen — the main villain of the movie — as well as expand on the ‘Reign of Starscream’ story that we’re doing and tie everything in to what this next movie is going to be,” explained writer Chris Mowry, who partners on the book with artist Alex Milne. “The next movie starts out with just tons of action and there’s obviously going to be a lot of questions, so we’re hoping to answer some of those beforehand.”

At the end of “Transformers,” audiences were treated to a grand speech from Optimus Prime issuing the call for his off-world Autobots to head to Earth. We also saw Starscream blast into space after the defeat of his leader Megatron. So where did he go? Mowry’s “Reign of Starscream” miniseries — currently on shelves — answers that question and leads directly into “Destiny.”

“We’re definitely taking every character that we can from the sequel,” said Mowry. “So you’ll see some Sector 7 involvement and how they developed into a new group that will be introduced. The same thing with some of the new characters, we’ll explain how they get to Earth. Because like I said, [the sequel] starts out with this giant battle so people will be wondering ‘Hey, where did that guy come from?’”

While Mowry has yet to have direct contact with “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, he counts himself as one of the lucky few to have a complete script. That’s important to keep his story in continuity, Mowry stated, as well as to ensure he’s not stepping on the film’s plotlines. “We had this really ambitious script done where there were a lot of fan-favorites in there. [But] some of them are going to be making an appearance in the second movie so they asked us not to use those, which is understandable.”

Two of those fan-favorite characters are Soundwave and Arcee, both of whom find themselves recruited for the sequel. “[Starscream]’s more of like a military guy. So in ‘Destiny’ we’re going to see a lot more involvement with [the backgrounds of] Prime and Megatron, [as well as] Cybertron’s history and how that affects the present day. It all centers around the plot of the sequel which I obviously can’t get into. It’ll be explained but you’ll see a lot more expansion of their characters and their motivations and their destinies, if you will."

Rumours are flying due to an of the cuff comment made by Roberto Orci on the Don Murphy message boards regarding a trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Roberto Orci, stated "maybe -- or maybe in front of EAGLE EYE... who knows." when asked if a trailer for the Transformers sequal would be shown during Fringe (a TV series he is working on).

Eagle Eye is a Shia LaBeouf thriller set to hit theatres in the US in September. Any trailers at this point would be teaser trailers, and like those for the original would probably not feature any in-movie footage.
