With the overwhelming success of the first “Transformers” movie, the bar has been set pretty high for the sequel. And Shia LaBeouf was hard at work on the Los Angeles set of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” yesterday (August 22).

Still sporting a splint on his left hand, the result of his truck-flipping accident last month, the “Constantine” stud was all about getting into character.

LaBeouf even sported some bruises and blood on his topless torso as he hung out on the lot in between filming his scenes for the day.

And though it’s still a long way off, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” already looks like it could be one of the Summer of 2009’s blockbusters, with a release date of June 26th.
