Rainn Wilson in ‘Transformers 2′

Mr. Dwight Schrute himself has confirmed that he will play a professor in the new Transformers flick.

MTV News has announced:

“That would be Rainn Wilson, who will have a small role in “Transformers 2,” as some kind of professor, “The Office” star revealed exclusively to MTV News during a Sneak Peek Week screening of his new film “The Rocker.”

“A professor that turns into a car that turns into a robot,” he laughed.

You can certainly take that last assertion with a healthy grain of salt, but only barely, since so little is known about the plot of the upcoming blockbuster sequel beyond the most basic: that it will follow Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) as a newly minted college student. For his part, Wilson was coy with more details, claiming to have not even read a full script.”

Here I was thinking that Shia LaBeouf provided all of the humor one person needed for the Transformers series … apparently I was wrong. What do you guys think about this move?
