Comparing Megan Fox to one hot actress or another is nothing new.

The latest hottie on the list is Isabel Lucas, Megan’s co-star from this summer’s blockbuster hit.

But as the Autobots and Decepticons duke it out on screen in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” another war will be raging on in the hearts and pants of most male (and sometimes female) audiences all across the globe.

The battle to decide which big block bustin’, eye-poppin’ babe is hotter.
The Candidates?

Obviously the two most searched terms in the whole wide web.

*Megan Fox

Megan Fox is an actress, supermodel, cutie, flirt, girl-next-door and geek.

She is hot in tight jeans and hotter in designer dresses, or is it the other way around, you get the point! She has Pocahontas-like hair and the most awesome curves for a skinny chick.

She’s outspoken, farts, teases, plays video games and has almost never ever been publicly mean to anyone. Except for the Rose Kid Incident of course.

She’s had fewer partners than Mother Teresa. Seriously for all the nonsense rumors that have spread, she has only dated a few guys her entire life.

The battle between them makes Optimus Prime versus Megatron look like Betty vs. Veronica.

Here’s an IMDB List of Megan’s Latest:

1. Passion Plays (2010) (announced) (rumored)
2. The Crossing (2011) (pre-production)
3. Ironclad (2009) (pre-production) (rumored)
4. Jonah Hex (2010) (post-production) …. Leila
5. Jennifer’s Body (2009) (completed) …. Jennifer Check
6. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) (VG) (voice) …. Mikaela Banes
7. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) …. Mikaela Banes
   … aka Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – The IMAX Experience (USA: IMAX version)
8. Whore (2008/I) …. Lost
9. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) …. Sophie Maes
10. Transformers: The Game (2007) (VG) (voice) …. Mikaela Banes
11. Transformers (2007)

The Final Answer

In my Personal Opinion:

Obviously, Megan has the upper hand going in since she’s a familiar face for fans — and in some cases, a possible reason they bought a ticket. But one gander at Isabel and it’s clear she’s going to put up a major fight.

Megan has set the internet ablaze on all four corners. No one is comparable, sure there are names out there that are very popular but with most of them they have reached their ceiling. Megan Fox will be searched for years and years to come.

And you think she’s hot this year? What until next year when she has three more movies under her belt.

But tell me how can someone like Isabel Lucas actually stand a chance to someone as the insanely popular and gorgeously formidable Megan Fox?

Pound for pound Megan Fox is the equivalent of Sugar Ray Leonard in his prime and Isabel Lucas is a 75-1 underdog.

Megan Fox vs Isabel Lucas is fun for this summer, but when summer ends you’ll realize the absurdity of such a merit less comparison.

Jim from Yahoo gives us his Personal Opinion:

i saw the film and was simply taken aback by Isabel’s beauty, but after searching up images of her i noticed that she simply does not look good in pictures. i also searched up Megan fox’s pics and she looks as stunning in pictures as she does in video. Lucas seems to look hotter than fox in video but wayyy worse in pictures. she simply is not photogenic but is really hot (looks like a 7.5 in pics, 10 in video) anyone know the reason behind this? and are there any other actors/actresses you’ve also noticed this phenomenon in?

Indeed, another vampire flick, this one is called Daybreakers and stars Ethan Hawke as a researcher in 2019 tracking down some special blood before time … runs … out …! In Theaters January 8th, 2010.

Besides what is sure to be another creepy performance by Willem Dafoe, this film is another chance for fans to see Australian actress Isabel Lucas who is also in the new action film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen playing a seducing student with a remarkable tail attacking a helpless Shia Labeouf.

She’ll also be appearing in Spielberg’s The Pacific, a quasi-non-continuation of the HBO Band of Brothers mini-series.

From my vantage point, Ms. Lucas and her country-woman Abbie Cornish seem poised to become some of Hollywood’s busiest actors in coming years.

Here’s the Daybreakers blurb:

Two-time Academy Award nominee® Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race.

Family values inspire Dafoe’s father figure

“… I was a totally regular kid. I liked sports. I never did think I was going to be an actor because, where I grew up, nobody was an actor. I didn’t even know anyone in New York City. That’s not what people did, so it never occurred to me …”

Isabel Lucas to transform into Hollywood star

Since leaving Home and Away, Lucas – who now calls Melbourne home when she’s not in LA – has roles in four projects due for release over the next year, including Stephen Spielberg’s mini-series The Pacific and Daybreakers with Ethan Hawke.

“…It’s so enjoyable playing a character that’s so different from yourself, because you can really go and take risks…”

In the action-thriller Public Enemies, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard in the incredible and true story of legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (Depp), the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop Dillinger. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone, from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Cotillard), to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger’s gang (later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham)) thrilled many, Hoover (Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw’s capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America’s first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Purvis, the dashing “Clark Gable of the FBI”. However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’ men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents), who were real gunfighters, and orchestrating epic betrayals, from the infamous “Lady in Red” to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti, were Purvis and the FBI able to close in on Dillinger.

Stars: Shaun Dooley and Rashid Naz. In 1999, a British mine clearance engineer working for the Taliban government in Afghanistan must flee the country when he becomes embroiled in a deadly game of intrigue and betrayal.

Not only were the special effects and budget really big on “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” so were the on set parties.

This according to Tyrese Gibson who said after the filming he would throw massive parties during the shoot, including one with 5,600 people on an aircraft carrier.

“There was just so much energy on the set. Michael runs a really tight ship. He just keeps everyone on the edge and at full-throttle. Man, I’d think, if I don’t throw a party, I’m going to go crazy right now,” said the singer turned actor who plays USAF Master Sergeant Epps in the film.

That interesting, but ultimately pointless, information was the norm at the online press conferences for Transformers held on June 19 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

In the absence of Shia LaBeouf (who was booked doing television interviews), the biggest gets were director Michael Bay and LaBeouf’s co-star Megan Fox. They were joined by Gibson and fellow actors Josh Duhamel, Kevin Dunn, and Ramon Rodriguez. Another more technical panel included co-writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and visual effects supervisor Scott Farrar of ILM.

Michael Bay just made it in time for his conference, reportedly coming to the hotel straight from a plane that originated in Moscow. He was quick to let everyone know, on numerous occasions, that “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is “summer fun. It’s a robot movie.”

But being as none of the robots were in attendance (we’ll get back to them in a minute), we were left with the actors who had to interact with them. Though he spoke the least of anyone on the panel, being the newest member of the cast, Ramon Rodriguez (who plays Sam’s roommate Leo and can also be seen as Denzel Washington’s colleague in “The Taking of Pelham 123”) told one of the best stories.

Megan Fox meets the crowd to support Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

Rodriguez is one of two actors who get to interact directly with Devastator, the evil Decepticon who is made up of seven already giant robots to form one HUGE one. (ILM’s Scott Farrar said that those scenes were the biggest ILM has ever had to create and one of the shots literally made a computer explode.) In the scene shown in the trailer where Devastator is sucking up sand, Rodriguez had to hold on for dear life and popped his shoulder.

“We were shooting the Devastator scene and I had to hold onto this pole. Michael Bay thought it would be a really good idea to bring out two fans that blow 100 miles per hour each and put them right in front of my face. I had sand, soot and dirt blowing right in my face. I had two guys behind me with wires attached to my ankles, pulling me. Not enough yet. We need cars. So we brought two cars and he literally had them attached to a hydraulic crane, flipped literally inches above my head. They guys were yanking at the tables and, yeah, on one of the takes my shoulder popped out and we continued rolling. That was probably the shot you used. Thank you, Mike,” Rodriguez said.

Then there’s Megan Fox. Oh Megan Fox. In person, she is even more beautiful than she is on screen – if that’s possible – but also seemed much more restrained than she did in a recent Entertainment Weekly feature. She discussed how “Transformers” has given her the ability to do films “I don’t even feel like I deserve to be a part of” like the upcoming comic book adaptation “Jonah Hex” and how she had to force herself to watch the film by drinking “an entire glass of champagne so I could get through the sitting of it.”

But the best story, at least for the guys out there, was the one about how Michael Bay made her try on all of her outfits while he was in the process of auditioning several, young male actors.

“I had like 18 different outfits. It was white jean shorts and then a pink belly shirt. Light motorcycle boots. I was wearing them and Mike was selecting them in the process of auditioning,” Fox said.

Unfortunately, girls don’t get a similar scene that was conceived specifically for them.

“Tyrese offered to be introduced in the second movie by doing a shirtless carwash scene with Optimus [Prime], but Mike didn’t go for it,” Josh Duhamel said.

But, as Michael Bay said again and again, this is a robot movie. And one of the major issues people are going to have with “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” are the Autobots known as The Twins, Mudflap and Skids, voiced by Reno Wilson and Tom Kenny respectively. They play a major role as the film’s comic relief and Bay spoke about the soon to be controversial characters.

“I wanted two kinds of younger Transformers. But with those two guys, we used the guy who played SpongeBob and another actor. What’s interesting is that, when you work with voice-actors, especially with The Twins, they did a lot of improv for their parts. We liked their improv and, from there, we would animate to their stuff. When you’re doing character animation and you’re building the character, it’s not like an actor where you shoot the scene and you’ve got it and you move on. With animation, you get the dialogue and then some animation and then a bit more of the dialogue and you keep going back and forth and it just builds until you have the shot you want. I just wanted something that would appeal to younger kids that seemed to really gravitate to those two characters. It’s like ‘The Little Engine That Could’ with the Devastator scene,” Bay said.

Here are some other geeky side notes that came out of the press conferences.

- Decepticon Soundwave (the boom box/cassette tape guy from the original show) plays an integral part in this film. And though actor Frank Welker, who originally voiced the character in the cartoon, returns, Soundwave’s deep and distorted voice doesn’t. Screenwriter Alex Kurtzman confirmed that they had that voice in the film for a long time during production but ultimately had to change it. “We actually tried it. We had his voice like that for a long time. What we found in the mix was that it was impossible to understand what he was saying.”

- Most of the actors and even the director, as of June 19, had yet to see the finished movie. The reason? It wasn’t locked and ready to go until the previous Saturday, June 13. That’s roughly 10 days before it opens to the public.

- President Obama gets name dropped in the film and there’s a simple reason for it. Michael Bay told the story. “I was walking in a Vegas airport and he was walking — by himself — carrying a hanging bag over his shoulder. This was after I had just seen him at the beginning of his campaign. I said, ‘Hey, I saw you the other night and liked what you had to say.’ I introduced myself and he said, ‘What do you do?’ and I said, ‘I’m a director.’ He said, ‘What movies?’ I said and he said, ‘Oh, you’re a big-ass director. I’ve seen a bunch of your movies.’ That’s why I decided to put him in.”

- And if any fans want to party like they are the stars of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” head to your local Chili’s. That’s where much of the actor’s time was spent while on set in New Mexico because, according to Megan Fox and Michael Bay, because that was the only restaurant around.

Michael Bay's robotic brawl, 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen', opens nationwide June 23

The more I think about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the more I feel it’s two movies. There’s the awesome action and robots which are the reason you pay for a ticket then there’s everything else: a hodgepodge of unfunny humor, wild story, offensive characters and general dumb foolery that is trying to please every audience all at once. What would have really pleased every audience is making a coherent movie. There’s plenty to enjoy here, but just be prepared to pay the price.

Synopsis: An extraneous piece of the All Spark from the first movie sets off a chain of events that brings an ancient Decepticon named the Fallen back to life. And he’s pissed.

Stars: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro

Written by: Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman

Directed by: Michael Bay

Distributed by: Paramount/Dreamworks

Opening on: June 24, 2009 nationwide

EXPECTATIONS

What I’d Seen – Big ass robots, big ass explosions and a little tiny story. That’s what the trailers for “Revenge of the Fallen” have been selling: action that’s bigger and better than ever. And while of course there would be a story in there, it didn’t seem as important as the robots and a half naked Megan Fox.

What I’d Heard – Trade reviews and international critics all seemed to agree. This is a huge, epic action movie with incredible special effects and not much more. Basically, they just said it was a bigger version of the first one. That’s fine with me.

What I Wanted – A film comparable to the first “Transformers.” What made that movie so successful was that the giant f’ing robots didn’t become the focus for a good 30-45 minutes. In the meantime there were some great character moments. I wanted at least some of that to go along with my metal on metal clashing and fireballs.

EXPERIENCE

What Turned Me On – Optimus Prime. The leader of the Autobots is even more kick ass  this time around and has an incredible one on three battle in the forest that has to be seen to be believed, especially in full IMAX. Plus, fans of the first film are rewarded as the experiences the characters had in the original result in an unspoken trust throughout this one.

What Turned Me Off – Unfortunately, much more than turned me on. First, the film is wildly uneven. It goes from deadly serious to goofy, then has goofy moments in the middle of serious ones and extraneous sequences that really should have been cut (two words: Kitten Calendars). Second, the script peppers in several moments that are such obvious rip offs of films like “The Matrix,” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” that it just begs of laziness on the part of the writers. Take those things, add in an abundance of cheesy one-liners, several very annoying and terribly voiced Transformers and an almost too confusing plot and the stretches between the admittedly awesome moments become almost intolerable.

AFTERMATH

I Left Thinking – Michael Bay needs an editor and someone to speak up to him. If the film had cut much of the sophomoric humor and streamlined some of the long and winding story, the film could have worked. Plus, there are some chill inducing moments in there that should have had more impact. For example, the much-ballyhooed Devastator is beautiful, but completely pointless. If there was less crap between the good stuff, the film would have felt stronger despite its other flaws.

I Left Saying – I’m terribly disappointed. Transformers 2 is far inferior to the first film and I really wanted more. In that film we related to Sam Witwicky as he evolved as a person. Now, he’s just a normal, confident guy. He’s basically Shia LaBeouf if he wasn’t a famous actor. And not having a character to relate to, coupled with the film’s general goofiness and sporadic action scenes, really hurt it.

Expiry Date – Except the prerequisite huge opening weekend with the ensuing word of mouth really slowing the film down. It’s going to be a big hit because bad reviews can’t hurt a huge film like this but people won’t be recommending it to their friends. Most will enjoy the two and a half hour ride – there is plenty to like, especially in IMAX – but in the end, the film itself just doesn’t mesh.  The story stinks, the characters – except for Optimus Prime – stink and 4 or 5 great moments can’t save the huge number of bad ones.

Days later – The more I think about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the more I feel it’s two movies. There’s the awesome action and robots which are the reason you pay for a ticket then there’s everything else: a hodgepodge of unfunny humor, wild story, offensive characters and general dumb foolery that is trying to please every audience all at once. What would have really pleased every audience is making a coherent movie. There’s plenty to enjoy here, but just be prepared to pay the price.

Megan Fox in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Shia LaBeouf (Sam Witwicky) and Megan Fox (Mikaela Banes) are back to help the Autobots take down the Decepticons a second time, but this time they’re facing something even more terrifying than the late grate Megatron. This movie also features crowd-faves Rainn Wilson (Dwight on TV’s ‘The Office’) as a College Professor and John Turturro as Agent Simmons.
