Surprise: R2-D2 Hidden Cameo in Star Trek XI Confirmed!

Abbracadabbling's friends at Gizmodo have discovered the hidden location of R2-D2 in JJ Abrams' Star Trek XI. We've got a cropped image of it here: you can just make out little R2 as he floats in space above the wreckage from one of the film's starship battles.
George Lucas' crafty crew at Industrial Light + Magic did the special effects on Star Trek, and they've made it a habit of sneaking in Star Wars' iconic droid into the films they work on. (They did it in Transformers 2, too!)
It's completely worth your time to check out Gizmodo's Hi-Res image of this great Science Fiction Easter Egg, so head on over there now. Then come back to us, because we've got even more late-breaking news on Star Trek XI and even the next Trek movie that JJ's already busy planning. See ya!
