Ok, so Scott Farr, supervisor of ILM, acknowledged yesterday that R2D2 had a cameo in Transformers 2. Here's what one website claims is the cameo moment captured from the Blu-Ray edition. What do you guys/gals think?

Little small to tell for sure in those shots.. but the shape and colors match up - so I'd say probably.

There's a long tradition of animators sticking stuff in films and shorts. Michael Eiseners phone number in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, that poster illustration for Little Mermaid, and on and on over the decades
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

I think that you're right that it does look pretty symmetrical, so much so that it's almost odd to see not to mention hard to deny that it could very well be our little droid friend.

reminds me of all the star wars stuff stuck in the indiana jones series

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Jebus, herm. At this point, its not just a matter of "your geek is showing."

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
