New 'Transformers 2' Clip Features Giant Robot at Night

What did you like the most about Transformers? Was it Megan Fox bending over an automobile hood? Shia LaBeouf learning to be a man behind the wheel of a yellow Chevy Camaro? Huge mechanical beasts suddenly emerging from the least likely hiding places? The military unit that found itself in the middle of an interstellar war in the middle of the desert? If it's the latter, you're in luck. Though the trailers and clips released for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have focused mainly on the Fox and the 'Bots so far, the military men finally get their due in the latest clip. (Note: the image above is not from the clip, but gives off a similar vibe.)
Moviefone has a short, tantalizing teaser clip that focuses on a unit led by Josh Duhamel, which appears to have gone international (check the arm patches). It's nighttime and they're flying in on helicopters to deal with the latest "enemy contact." Tyrese Gibson gets to mutter my favorite two words so far: "Thermal ripple." Despite my huge reservations about the first film, it's hard to resist whirling helicopters, bombastic martial music, a cool nighttime setting, and giant robot action, especially when it's all packed into a clip that's barely more than a minute long. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens everywhere on June 24.
After the jump: Watch the clip!

Iv been a huge fan of transformers since the early '90s, and loved the first Michael Bay film. I originally didnt have high hopes for ROTF, and at first thought it wasn't gonna be so great. But after watching this clip, and the trailer a few more times, I couldnt be more psyched! Can i go as far as to say this looks better than the 2007 one?

I'll see it. Hell, I'm a sucker for idiotic giant robots. What cracks me up though - when people bagged on Transformers as if they were expecting something other than giant dumb robots smashing stuff. Heck, if anything, the first film exceeded my expectations easily. I didn't expect much given the source material - a horrid cartoon from the 80s. And yet we got a dorky guy, a super cute girl, nebbish parents and some fun action sequences matched with Bay's hard-on for slow-mo and vehicles/military equipment. The guy should recruit for the armed forces...
Was it great? nope. was it a solid 6 out of 10 on my scale? Yeah and that exceeds most movies nowadays. At least I was amused. That didn't happen in Star Trek, Wolverine or a batch of other recent films.
