Twin Engine
But not all the new robots are hellbent on eviscerating humanity. Two of the new additions to the Autobot team can be seen here, behind Bumblebee. Called Skids and Mudflap (aka "The Twins"), they are hybrid cars who can transform separately or combine into one big 'bot, and were actually dreamed up by Bay himself. "I had the idea to introduce these two dumb little Transformers," he explains. "They're brothers who are really stupid and argue with each other all the time - they're great for kids."
The Sands Of Prime
"This movie is Lawrence Of Arabia meets Apocalypse Now," promises ILM's Scott Farrar. Indeed, the second half of the movie takes place in the camel-ridden deserts of the Middle East, from Oman to Luxor. Here we see Sam, Mikhaela, Simmons, Bumblebee and The Twins in Petra, Jordon, where the climax of Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade was set. "We're giving this movie a sense of adventure that the first movie didn't have by going all over the world," promises Lorenzo diBonaventura.
A Bit Glyphy
These ancient symbols play a key role in the plot. "We're going to show you that the hieroglyphics in the pyramids are actually pictures of Transformers," says diBonaventura. "The movie actually opens before the pyramids were built. We tie the Transformers into the beginnings of civilisation."
Blade Two
After hacking off Bonecrusher's head in the first movie, Optimus Prime has now upgraded his weaponry to include a secondary blade (this may be the geekiest sentence we have ever written). But despite his ash-kicking in the trailer, there is evidence to suggest that Prime will not survive the sequel. His vehicle form wasn't on set in Cairo and Sam's scream of "Optimus!" here implies something horrible is happening to him off-screen.
Total Devastation
Devastator hoovers up the Sahara in the final battle. "I personally thought the ending of the first movie was pretty weak," admits Bay. "For one thing, I had to shoot the city battle on five separate blocks, which made it confusing and hard to follow. But the climax here is much clearer in terms of the landmarks and what the endgame is. And it's a really cool scene. You'll never have seen anything like it before."
