VH1/MTV reveal that R2-D2 has popped up in yet another summer blockbuster outside of the Star Wars galaxy. This time, he's making a cameo in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

"There's a little bit of space junk thrown in there; see if you can find it. It's a scene in the desert." Interestingly enough, George Lucas' charismatic droid also had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in "Star Trek," which shares the same writing team as "Transformers." Is it a coincidence? "Perhaps," screenwriter Alex Kurtzman grinned mischievously. "Perhaps not."'
