Transformers 2 Movie Hits Theaters | Comics Hit iPhone

Transformers 2 highly anticipated

The second round of Transformers action is the show to see this week as “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” hits the big screen tomorrow. On the small screen, the iPhone screen to be exact, Transformers comics related to the movie will be available.

The film, which most prefer to call “Transformers 2,” maintains the mans characters and actors featured in the first “Transformers” movie. Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are back as Mikaela Banes and Sam Witwicky. I predict “Transformers 2″ will do extremely well based on these facts:

1. It’s the first big-time action movie to open for a few weeks
2. The first Transformers movie made more than $700 million
3. People have been going gaga over Megan Fox

Compare and contrast, the sequel

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” has an estimated budget of $200 million, up from the $150 million spent on the first “Transformers” movie.

Besides the extra cash, “Transformers 2″ also sports some extra star power. Rainn Wilson plays Professor Colan, bringing his recently skyrocketed fame into the mix.

What about those comics?

Here’s a clip from an MTV article about the Transformers comics that will be available on the iPhone:

Recently, IDW Publishing announced that, along with their long history of "Transformers" comics on the print side, they'll also be making a sizable chunk of these comics available on iPhone, too — starting with a dozen comics directly related to "Revenge of the Fallen." … The 12 new "Transformers" comics that became available for download this week not only offer direct tie-ins to the film's plot, but they're also the first comics to make use of the publisher's new, exclusive e-publishing software. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Transformers 2 Movie Hits Theaters | Comics Hit iPhone"
