Shooting took place between May and September 2008, with locations in Egypt, Jordan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California, as well as air bases in New Mexico and Arizona.
With deadlines jeopardized by possible strikes by the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild, Bay managed to finish the production on time with the help of previsualization and a scriptment. Sam begins seeing strange Cybertronian symbols in his right eye, and is being hunted by the Decepticons under the orders of Megatron's master the Decepticon named the Fallen (voiced by Tony Todd), who seeks to get revenge on Earth by finding and activating a machine that would destroy the Sun and all life in the process. Taking place two years after the previous film, the story revolves around Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen), Sam Witwicky ( Shia LaBeouf) and the Autobots allying once again in the war against the Decepticons, led by Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving). The film is directed by Michael Bay and written by Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman. The film is the second installment in the Transformers film series and the sequel to Transformers (2007). Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a 2009 American science fiction action film based on Hasbro's Transformers toy line.
