It is finished and should be available in a few days.
Unfortunately I have a slow Internet connection so uploading takes time.
And btw, I've also changed Soundwave voice to make it more like his original voice in cartoon.
EDIT
It is available now.
And Transformers 2 is a different beast entirely, since the IMAX cut actually featured differences in footage (extended fight sequences, I believe), while The Dark Knight's 35mm and IMAX cuts are exactly the same with the exception of aspect ratio.
transformers 2 IMAX sequences are presented in exactly the same way as TDK is. The fact that there is also 30 seconds of additional footage have nothing to do with it.
And no, I don't think creating a version for 4:3 TVs is pointless, especially if you want to recreate the IMAX experience of a shift from 2.39:1 to 1.44:1 as closely as possible.
If someone wants to watch non-anamorphic movie on 4:3 TV or even anamorphic on 16x9 TV with black bars on both sides during IMAX sequences, yes, in that case it makes sense.
My point is, it could easily be done, but whether it needs to be or not is up for debate.
That is right.
I think that BR version handles aspect ratio switch the best possible way for home viewing.
false
No. He said:
Could these be integrated into a cut of the movie (Revenge of the Fallen "Big Screen Edition" Style) as a single fan edit?
I have answered to that question and ROTF Big Screen Edition style is exactly the same as TDK on BR (1.78 for IMAX sequences).
and possibly the fullscreen DVD) uses more picture information on the top and bottom than the Blu-Ray cut does,
I really doubt it.
I think that fullscreen DVD is just cropped from widescreen, or in best case it is open matte which means that it may have more information on top & bottom than widescreen (but not more than BR), but still less on both sides.
But I have not seen fullscreen DVD (really, who would want to watch it? ;) ).
while this theoretical version would be the definitive IMAX cut for 4:3 TVs.
Right, but dont you think that creating version especially for 4:3 TVs is rather pointless?
Blu-Ray release of TDK already have those (and more) Imax sequences incorporated, so it is officially released, therefore, there is no need for such fanedit.
Hi.

And for fans of 80's Transformers and TF:TM:
- added Stan Bush - The Touch as soundtrack in final battle* NEW (but present also in version1.2)
- Linkin Park song replaced with Stan Bush – Till all are one - added some G1 transformation sounds here and there NEW
* yeah, maybe it's cheesy, but I like this not so great fight (Bay was apologising for it on his commentary) more with it, Original version didn't have any good score in it, and was really lacking in any emotions. I've watched it about 50-60 times with the song, and now when I am watching original version it feels like something's missing.
