In an interview with IGN, Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen actress Megan Fox has talked about the budget for the sequel and what has happened between the first and second film for her character. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is set two years after the first movie, so 2009, and that Sam and Mikaela are still together. She also mentions that the budget for Revenge of the Fallen will be double of that of the first film, which explains how more robots can be accomodated.

Q: Compared to the first, you’d say it’s way bigger?
Fox: It’s twice the budget, so yeah.
Q: Can you say where this movie picks up for your characters?
Fox: It’s two years later, so when it comes out it will be present day. Shia [LaBeouf, who reprises his role as Sam Witwicky] and I have been dating for two years, so it’s kind of like old news. There’s no big love scenes or anything like that – you kind of get into the couple bickering now. That stage, like the old married couple. That’s all I can say!
