Yahoo have posted a new offi­cial image of Mikaela (Megan Fox) from Trans­form­ers Revenge of the Fallen:

Megan Fox has also been speak­ing to USA Weekend:

Before land­ing high-profile movies and mag­a­zine cov­ers, you were [a] TV sit­com side­kick. Did you ever doubt you’d wind up where you are now?
Megan: …I started act­ing as a way to make money and avoid col­lege. I sort of fell into it hav­ing no idea what I was doing … in “Trans­form­ers” as well.

Is it true that you didn’t know you were the female lead in “Trans­form­ers” until the end of film­ing?
Megan: Yes. Every­thing was on lock­down. The script wasn’t released to any­one. The direc­tor, Michael Bay, was the only one who’d seen it.

Megan, you and “Trans­form­ers” co-star Shia LaBeouf are good friends. Were your make-out scenes uncom­fort­able?
Megan: It’s always weird. That’s not some­thing that’s ever roman­tic or sexy. Doing an on-set kiss is just strange, and know­ing Shia so well makes it even more strange.

OK, but the ladies want to know: How is he?
Megan: [Laughs.] Very good.

In “Revenge,” you flee evil Decep­ti­cons for just about the entire movie. At least your male co-stars hauled butt in comfy sneak­ers — you were in heels!
Megan: Stilet­tos — and for the last part of the film, motor­cy­cle boots. I had major shin­splints and threw out my back a cou­ple times. Beyond that, Michael likes every­one freak­ishly tan, so we were painted maroon, like in the old West­erns when they hired Cau­casians to play Native Amer­i­cans. I had on fake eye­lashes, run­ning through the desert with sand stuck in them, and I’m sweat­ing off all the makeup. It looked like we were mak­ing a tragedy.

For many young actors, Megan, being in “Revenge” would be like the pin­na­cle of their career. But you’ve hinted that, in the end, movies about shape-shifting robots are noth­ing to write home about. How do you define suc­cess?
Megan: I’d like to develop my skills to where I can be rec­og­nized as a good actress. That’s my end goal. It has noth­ing to do with the box office. It’s about peer recog­ni­tion and crit­i­cal acclaim, even on a small level. I mean, I’m not try­ing to take Cate Blanchett down. I just want to improve.
