This poster orig­i­nally showed up on eBay and has since been con­firmed as the offi­cial teaser poster for Trans­form­ers 2, released by Dream­works pic­tures for Yahoo Movies to use.

Michael Bay has posted a com­ment about the poster on his forums under the title ‘Revenge is Coming’:

Okay it’s time to turn up the heat on Trans­form­ers — Revenge of the Fallen. We’ve waited low in the weeds let­ting all the sum­mer movies get their stuff out. We’ve seen the great year end movies, and watched the upcom­ing clips of the upcom­ing sum­mer fare. We’ve seen cer­tain movies com­ing out even try to dupli­cate Trans­former size robots in their ads. Please, come on.

Well, I promise you we will rock your world with Trans­form­ers 2. The fans wanted ROBOTS KICKING ASS — well we got it. Today we are releas­ing the teaser poster and soon the onslaught will con­tinue with a steady drum beat until June 26th.

I’ll keep you informed.
