We all have guilty pleasures, this much we all know. But some guilty pleasures are too guilty. Case in point: Michael Bay’s Transformers movies. We bring this up because some new Avatar items based on his work — and consequent games — are now available for purchase on Xbox Live, including the Optimus Prime and Megatron helmets you see above, as well as several branded t-shirts. Now, if you want to run to your Xbox and drop some real money on these fake duds right now, fine, more power to you. However, if you expect to still be on our friends’ list afterward, well, we should probably talk.

VideoGamer.com is reporting that a supplement in this week’s issue of
MCV is advertising two new Xbox 360 Elite bundles. Both bundles are themed around recent movie releases, specifically
Star Trek and
Transformers 2. The
Star Trek bundle comes with an extra controller, a copy of J.J. Abrams’
Star Trek stored on a USB drive — shaped like the Star Fleet logo — as well as 800
with which to buy “
Star Trek PDLC.” Let’s just hope you don’t
have to waste those points on
Star Trek D-A-C. A
Transformers 2 bundle is in the works as well, featuring an extra controller, a copy of the movie on a Bumblebee-shaped USB drive and the
Transformers 2 game.
Release date, pricing, and the size of the included hard drive (120GB or “Super Elite” 250GB) are not specified in the ad. However, as MCV is a UK magazine, it’s possible these are only destined for that region. We’d be hard-pressed to tell potential buyers which one bundle is the better but, but we will say that only one of them goes where no one has gone before. And the other one is Transformers.

Following an apparently successful Game with Fame session with actress Megan Fox, Activision has announced that the developers behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will take on the community themselves this Friday. Excited? Well, there’s a catch: The devs at Luxoflux will only be online playing the recently released Character & Map Pack Plus DLC, meaning interested gamers will have to throw down 800 ($10) to square off against the team.
Of course, if you already own the DLC you’re welcome to jump in this Friday, September 4, from 5PM to 9PM (Eastern) and participate in punching giant robots in the face. You know, kind of the same way Michael Bay punched our soul by making those two terrible movies. Check out the official Xbox.com page for a listing of Gamertags to friend request for the event.

Don’t fret, Michael Bay haters, you can get your childhood Transformers back — for a price. It’s already been announced that G1 Starscream is coming to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (the game; it’s too late for the movie) as DLC, and now we know of two more incoming pay-to-play characters: G1 Optimus Prime and Soundwave. (Oh, but not G1 Soundwave, although we think this one looks reasonably cool.)
At least it’ll be be cheaper than buying these guys, right? Check the gallery below for full-size shots of Prime and “Soundwave.”

If you’re among those who’ve explored every musty nook ‘n’ cranny of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and were left slavering for more, you’re imaginary. But you’re also the target demo for a batch of ROTF DLC coming to PS3 and 360 later this summer that adds ten new multiplayer characters (like G1 Starscream), three new multiplayer maps and an Expert difficulty mode.
… People who own ROTF and might be reluctantly conned into getting the DLC just for G1 Starscream? See, that’s a demographic that might actually exist.

During an interview with Big Download last week, the young side of beef Shia LaBeouf (see what we did there?) took time from his busy career playing Indiana Jones‘ son to troll the Nintendo Wii as hard (and unnecessarily) as so many Joystiq comments we’ve read in the past. “I don’t mess with the Wii, to be honest with you … It’s kind of an amateur console … I’m not into the Wii thing,” he told BD, when asked about the Wii version of upcoming movie tie-in game, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Truth be told, the actor tries to disassociate himself with those who own Wii consoles, continuing, “This is how in a simple way you can find out if it’s a gamer you want to play with: Ask them if they have a Wii — if they say yes, get the f*** out of there.” Harsh words, Mr. LaBeouf! While we’re inclined to start flapping our gums about the actor’s films being defilements of our childhoods and how they placate to a more mainstream crowd — like a certain console he feels so vehemently about — we’ll just hold our tongues on that. This time, LaBeouf. This time.
