By now you’ve probably heard about Shia LaBeouf’s car wreck and his subsequently gangrenous hand. It was thought at first that his post-wreck hand injuries might end up delaying the shooting of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but they went right on filming. Now we know how they managed it: They wrote Shia’s bandages into the story.

JustJared has images taken from the Transformers 2 set, showing Shia LaBeouf made up to look as if he’s very badly burned and bandaged. Apparently Michael Bay’s Transformers 2 team solved the problem of LaBeouf’s hand injury by simply writing it into the story.

Check out a few shots of Shia’s burned up makeup and bandaged hand below.
