I have been a fan of the Transformers ever since the mid-80s when I was in middle school and they were first introduced as action figures and a half hour cartoon television series.  I loved the concept and the realization of that concept.  Remember how all the Autobots became relatively benign vehicles while the Decepticons always seemed to be much more dangerous – Megatron became a gun for goodness sake!

When the movie “Transformers” was released in 2007 I was there on openning day.  I remember the end of the battle that pitted A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and an AC-130 gunship against Skorponok.  I turned to my wife with an ear to ear grin on my face and whispered “this is fun!”.  The rest of the movie was just as much of a pleasure to this grown fan of a toy from his childhood come to life on the big screen (even if Megatron isn’t a gun anymore).

Now the trailer for the much anticipated sequel, “Transformers:  Revenge of the Fallen“ has been released and I could not be more pumped!  Have a look and see what you think.
