Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be released as a single disc DVD, a two-disc special edition DVD, and as a two-disc special edition Blu-ray on October 20, 2009.

Get all the details after the jump.

Both the two-disc special editions feature over three hours of in-depth special features that include a multi-chapter documentary that includes interviews with the cast and crew, that chronicles the entire making of the film from development and design to filming in locations around the globe, working with the U.S. military, creating the groundbreaking visual effects and putting it all together to produce the Baysplosion of the year.

The discs also include an all-access featurette following director Michael Bay through an entire day, a comprehensive exploration of the “confidential files” on a dozen of the characters featured in the film, multi-angle breakdowns of some of the most sensational action sequences and, apparently, more.

The Blu-ray and two-disc DVD packages also will feature augmented reality technology that will allow owners to interact with a holographic image of Optimus Prime utilizing their webcams and a special website. Fans will be asked to piece together the “Matrix of Leadership” to bring Optimus Prime back to life, help repair his armor and calibrate his weapons by actually controlling his aim during target practice.

As an added bonus, the Blu-ray will include an exclusive interactive feature that gives viewers the ability to customize their own robot characters and get a glimpse at a rogue robot. Out of all the available permutations, one will unlock an exclusive interview with Michael Bay about his plans for the next adventure.
