that's funny i seem to recall george lucas saying the same thing about the origanal dvd releases of the star wars trilogy and he released it, i wouldn't be suprised if he releases the extended edition, maybe when tf2 get ready to come out if a few years but i wouldn't give up just yet. this is just my opinion and i don't know if it will actually happen so don't put all your stoke if my words.
Lucas bankrolled his films, all but SW. But I believe he owns the rights to that too. Bottom line, 20th Century distributes, Lucas owns and calls the shots. Bay's just the director and has no say, Hasbro and Paramount do. However, I just don't see the last market for multiple releases of Transformers so if they're going to release this material, it better be sooner than later.
I'm not going to worry about this too much until I know what exaclty this 2 or 5 minutes of footage is. Maybe they found 5 minutes of footage where they didn't shake the camera like crazy.
