Well, according to SciFi anyway. You can read the article here: http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.ph ... 3&id=44333

I've also pasted it below:

"Transformers 2 Gets 2009 Date

Paramount and DreamWorks are holding the date of June 26, 2009, for Transformers 2, with Michael Bay expected to return to direct the sequel, Variety reported.

The first Transformers, starring Shia LaBeouf and based on the toy robot line, has grossed nearly $700 million worldwide, giving DreamWorks its first live-action franchise, the trade paper reported.

Steven Spielberg, who took an executive-producer credit on Transformers, was closely involved with the film, including bringing Bay aboard to direct and LaBeouf to star. He's expected to be involved in the sequel.

Bay has not yet signed a deal to helm the follow-up but is in the final stages of negotiation. With Bay's involvement, LaBeouf is expected to return as well.

LaBeouf stars alongside Harrison Ford in Spielberg's upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which opens May 22, 2008.

DreamWorks and Par are hoping to at least begin production on the Transformers sequel before a possible strike, even if they have to finish after it. "

Whee, TF2 looks set to open on mah birthday! ^_^

Now THAT'S a happy coincidence if I ever heard one. Honestly, though, coming out less than 2 years after the 1st? What with the possible actors' strike and the possible breakup of Dreamworks and Paramount, I wouldn't be too surprised if that date doesn't hold.

Megs showing up at the end, eh? Kinda like Pirates of the Caribbean 2 with Barbossa.

Who rocked in the third movie, BTW. I'm still loving that. XD

Iunno, I just want Jazz back, and I want to see or even hear hints of the Twins. And I want to see more Ironhide. And more Ratchet. Because grouchy old men with triggerhappy and/or wrench-throwing capabilities are high on my list of fun people to be around.
