… courtesy of Michael Bay’s blog and some GIMPshop work by yours truly.

All images are widescreen 1280×800 jpg format, character models only on black backgrounds. Unfortunately I just haven’t found a way to make Starscream, Megatron, and Bumblebee look any good in a wall paper ratio based on the original images.

If you don’t have a widescreen display most of these will work well enough if you set your wallpaper preferences to “center” the image, or you can check out GIMPshop at the link above and crop it to a different size.

Obviously all original images here are copyright Hasbro and Michael Bay, and if either of them have a problem with minimalist high rez huge robot wallpaper sweetness please leave a comment and I’ll be happy to send them to you to host on your own server, or delete, or whatever.

If anyone wants to link to these please link to this page and not the zip file directly. Bandwidth thieves suck.

While you’re at it, be sure to check out the HD-tastic trailers.

EDIT: We finally saw the movie last night, and it was incredible beyond words. Seth’s favorite bot was Frenzy, so I whipped up this wallpaper for him.
