What is increasingly shaping up as a summer blockbuster showdown between Terminator: Salvation and Transformers 2 certainly swung in favour of the latter this week, courtesy of an excellent Superbowl trailer. So how have McG and the T4 crew responded? By making public some brand new pictures from the film.

Personally, I’m still not taken at all with the trailer for Terminator: Salvation that we saw earlier this year, but that doesn’t mean I’m not keen to see the film.

Given that it’s arriving on 5th June – just over four months away – it’s unsurprising that the publicity machine is beginning to ramp up, and thus the new pictures have appeared at Screenweek and Wired. The pics cover members of the resistance, specifically the characters played by Common and Moon Bloodgood. From Wired, there’s also a selection of artwork and designs from the film.

You can find thumbnails for a selection of the images under here. And if you want the full galleries, follow the links directly below…
