Thanks to Seibertron.com member Lastjustice and the website Movie-censorship.com it looks like we finally have the answer. They have taken the time to watch both versions simultaneously and have broken down all the differemces. Surpisingly, there are many, but most last just a few seconds at best, hence creating all the confusion.
Here is an excerpt of their analysis.
Contentwise, the IMAX version barely has more to offer than the theatrical release, even if to fans of glossy robot action every second might be held dear. The depiction of the respective action sequences in the bigger format, however, is the distinct advantage of this version, since a 16:9 TV is in those moments filled and shows more picture information compared to the other scenes in the 2,35:1 format, without annoying widescreen bars in the way or having to zoom in (which leads to a loss of picture information).
For fans of the flick its a definite must-buy.
The runtimes of the described scenes refer to the theatrical release. The other differences in runtimes result from rounding up/down single described scenes to comlete resp. half seconds and from shots containing a few frames more/less which aren't included in this article for lack of relevance.
59:59
Decepticon Grindor landing is shown a little longer and he runs more toward the camera.
1.5 Sec.
1:00:25
Theatrical release
Sam tries to escape from the action and jumps through some minor explosions.
2 Sec.
1:00:31
After Optimus' kick resp. throw, Starscream hits the forrest floor hard in slow-motion.
3 Sec.
1:00:41
Optimus gets already earlier heckled by the Decepticons and can at first barely fight off their multiple attacks.
12.5 Sec.
1:01:28
Optimus rams into Starscream and knocks him on the floor.
2.5 Sec.
1:01:50
You can see Optimus earlier during the long shot of Grindor, immediately after he ripped his face apart. Here, you can still see both halves of the face flying through the air.
1.5 Sec.
1:02:22
The (slow-motion) shot of the fallen Optimus with Sam in the foreground runs a little longer.
3 Sec.
1:52:40
A truck belonging to Devastator drives past the camera in close up.
3 Sec.
1:53:08
During Devastator's transformation the advantages of the IMAX format become clear: Because of the different aspect ratio the action appears much more impressive
no time difference
1:56:44
The longshot of the attacking Devastator can be seen longer.
a few frames
1:57:19
The shot of the sucking Devastator also runs a little while longer.
a few frames
1:57:30
The same with the back shot of the giant fighting robot after the long pan.
a few frames
1:57:57
The red Twin is sucked into Devastator's mouth for a longer time.
a few frames
1:58:44
The red Twin swings around Devestator a little longer.
a few frames
1:58:54
The Twins getting thrown to the floor is a few frames longer.
a few frames

As someone who has bought the IMAX version. It is basically worth the trip to walmart in every way.(It doesnt cost more)
The forest Scene is a whole new ball game with the additional footage in addition Having seen the movie three times in theater. I must say even the normal parts look better in the Imax footage. Megatron looks dirtier for one. Also the 12 seconds of Optimus being beaten up really makes the fight seem more balanced. Also seeing Optimus scrapped is always emotional, and all the little 1 second additions tie the whole scene together and make it less jumpy. Oh and instaed of accomplishign absolutly nothing Grindor actually does some damage to Optimus.
One MORE THING!!! (Asian old man voice)
When the car is cut in half in the warehouse it is not very clear who uses a buzzsaw. But Starscream uses it in the forest fight to hack up Optimus.
If you liked ROTF you will like the Imax version at least 5% more. Personally about 20%

but yeah this doesn't sound like too much a of a big deal, i dont regret buying the steelbook version. but least this time they added material involving the robots. unlike the first movie's Imax presentation that just added more human scenes and pointless ones at that.

Not exactly. Seeing it in the IMAX theater was extremely cool!

Is the Imax version blu ray? I saw both the normal version and the Imax in theaters and have good memories from both. But I'll import it since it probably won't be available in Holland, the Imax.
actually it is released on dvd & bluray format only at walmart i got the normal dvd imax version havnt watched it yet

I'm glad to have the Big screen edition myself. If you have access to it no reason not to get it.
