The 2009 ShoWest film convention was a big one for Transformers: Michael Bay revealed a death in the movie, won the Vanguard Award for Excellence in Directing (yeah, Michael Bay won a directing award), and even presented a good amount of footage from the new movie.

ComingSoon gives us the play-by-play:

Michael Bay thrilled the packed ballroom with a scene from the Transformers sequel which involved Shia LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky, Megan Fox’s Mikaela Banes and Bumblebee. Sam opens the garage door to see Bumblebee in robot form hitting himself in the head trying to get his voice back. Sam tells the robot that he wants to talk about college, to which Bumblebee starts playing The Pointer Sisters’ “I’m So Excited” and dancing around, but Sam tells him that he’s not going to which the robot gives a heavy groan. Sam gives him a long speech why it’s best Bumblebee doesn’t accompany him, while Mikaela runs outside and starts to disrobe (Yowza!)… no wait, she’s just changing outfits. Bumblebee isn’t happy and he starts spraying water from his head as if he was crying. Sam explains that he wants to go to college and experience it like a normal guy, but that Bumblebee will always be his first car, etc. As he finishes his sentimental speech, Sam turns and opens the garage door and Mikaela is standing there in what appears to be a wedding dress holding a purple bouquet of flowers.

After that dialogue scene, what followed was a two minute montage of some of the robot action from the movie giving glimpses of almost all the Autobots and Decepticons we’ll be seeing as well as The Fallen, most of them on screen slightly longer than the footage seen before. To be honest, it was cut together so quickly that only a diehard mega-fan might be able to see it and name every robot or figure out exactly what was going on. Regardless, it looks like Bay has done it again and anyone who liked the first movie should be suitably impressed with the sequel.

Sounds like kind of a silly scene, but everybody will be preoccupied with Megan Fox changing outside to notice.  Savvy writing, there.
