Transformers, What Now?

Rejoice as it has already been confirmed that Spielberg and Michael had struck a deal to release Transformers 2 for the summer of 2009. Wait, don't dance yet! It doesn't end there. We already know about the release on DVD, single and double DVD's on October 16th but did you know that the IMAX version will have an additional 2 minutes of footage not found on the DVD release? Fuck! I sound like a 'Did You Know?' caption!

Now here is the run through on the contents of the special 2 disc set release which I am so going to buy!

The TRANSFORMERS DVD is presented in widescreen enhanced for 16:9 televisions with Dolby Digital English 5.1 Surround, French 5.1 Surround and Spanish 5.1 Surround with English, French and Spanish subtitles. Total runtime is 143 minutes.

Disc 1:
