You’ve no doubt heard that Rainn Wilson has a small part in the upcoming Transformers sequel. What we haven’t known, is what exactly he’ll be doing in it. Personally, I’ve been kind of hoping he’ll transform into a Ford Pinto. Sadly, my dreams of Dwight as a highly flammable automobile don’t look like they’re going to come true.

The guys over at TMB claim to have the scoop on what exactly Rainn is doing in the movie, and even a few details on what’s up with Shia LaBeouf’s character this time around. If you’re eager to avoid any and all Transformers 2 spoilers, read no further.

According to their source, Rainn Wilson is playing Sam Witwicky’s college professor, a guy named Professor Colon. Sam has apparently been affected in some way by an unknown object. Whatever it is, it’s made Sam super-smart and on his first day in Colon’s class he shows up his professor by reading their entire text book in 5 seconds and then telling him which parts are wrong. Other rumors regarding the plot of Transformers 2 have hinted at something called “The Splinter” which is likely the object in question. We assume it’s a splinter of the Allspark, and not a giant rat who’s really good at teaching turtles Kung Fu.
