I'm not sure if I'm the only one who can't see all the facts, but if you're in the same position as me, here's EVERYTHING straight from First Showing:

Robots:
» 14 robots last time, 46 robots this time (ILM only).
» Devastator’s hand is traveling 390 miles per hour when he punches the pyramid.
» All robot parts laid out end to end would stretch from one side of California to the other, about 180 miles.

Disk space:
» TF1 took 20 Terabytes of disk space. TF2 took 145 Terabytes. Seven times bigger!
» 145 terabytes would fill 35,000 DVDs. Stacked one on top of the other without storage cases, they would be 145 feet tall.

Rendering times:
» If you rendered the entire movie on a modern home PC, you would have had to start the renders 16,000 years ago (when cave paintings like the Hall of Bulls were being made) to finish for this year’s premiere!
» A single IMAX shot in the movie (df250) would have taken almost 3 years to render on a top of the line home PC running nonstop.
» IMAX frame render times: As high as 72 hours per frame!

IMAX:
» Optimus Prime will be life size on IMAX screens in many forest fight shots.
» IMAX frames take about 6 times longer than anamorphic to render.

Devastator:
» Devastator is as tall as a 10 story building.
» Devastator has more than 10 times the number of individual parts found in an average car.

Don't forget that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has at least three full scenes shot in IMAX!

Is there more? Because there's only two sections, and one of them is empty.

I still find it odd that Robert Rodriguez, who usually directs, writes, produces, edits, composes music for, and shoots his movies (while sometimes managing to get in front of the camera from time to time) would let the project go into the hands of another director. If he's finally deciding to see what a Rodriguez movie will be like without himself in the directing chair, then please find some more talented directors.

First "Mexi-can", and now "like-able"? This is a bit ridiculous.

He had one of my favorite lines in "Superbad".

"So, you guys have MySpaces?"

Cannot wait for this movie.

I read the full IGN UK review, and I'm a little worried. "Transformers" was half boring filler, while the other was 100%-kickass action. Seeing the multitude of robots and action in the "Revenge of the Fallen" trailer gave me hope, but I'm afraid that once again, Micheal Bay has made too long a movie. Remember "The Rock" or "Bad Boys"? Those were lean, mean, and exiting.

"”retooling”…of a movie which “doesn’t stand up very well.”"

Doesn't stand up very well? The Warriors is one of my favorite movies and is better than all of the studio fluff released today.

The Princess Mononoke dubbing was excellent.
