While USAToday.com is reporting that Michael Bay got U.S. Department of Defense approval, it’s safe to say by the looks of these new pics that he is still seeking his own. Yesterday, we brought you some Transformers pics but today, mega-shit has really hit the fan since USAToday.com has got their Transformin’ mitts on even more stills and news from the set of Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. According to the report, Bay in conjunction with the Department of Defence is using official U.S. “A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" tank-killing jets; six F-16 Fighting Falcons; 10 armored Humvees; the Army's Golden Knights parachute team; two Abrams tanks; two Bradley tanks; two missile-launcher vehicles; two armored personnel carriers; and a quarter-mile of the missile testing range, cleared of unexploded ordnance and built into an Egyptian town and temple.” So even if youre not amped for the Transformer’s sequel, this DOD partnership is still a pretty interesting testament to the heavy artillery Bay demands on set. Also from the report, there’s a few more pics to wet your whistle and the apparent news that Megatron will not return for Revenge of the Fallen? Check out the pics after the jump and the full report here.
