Just days before the beginning of 2009 and official countdown to the June 26th theatrical release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Empire.com snagged three exclusive pics! Check ‘em out after the jump and ring in the New Year with an Autobot battle to the death, somersaulting cars, a little Shia and a lotta Fox!
