How is that shameless? Calendars based on blockbuster movies are a completely common way to promote the movie...And since Fox is in the movie primarily for eye-candy in the first place, having her featured prominently in the calendar seems perfectly natural...
Sex appeal to promote a movie that's supposed to be about robots? I call that pretty shameless pandering.
Though WhiteRabbuit does have a valid point...

There is no difference between this use of sex appeal and the uses employed by auto manufacturers, beer companies, soda companies, gum companies, local HVAC repairmen, etc. People use sex appeal to sell everything. If it works then people are going to use it. If people don't like a goofy little calendar, then it's pretty easy not to buy it. This movie is geared more toward a demographic that will be eager to get those images-for better or worse, that is the truth. Also, Megan Fox wasn't hired for her acting skills in the first place . She is hot and that is about it. She is a promotional tool for these movies and nothing else. I say it is good marketing, and I would do the same thing if I were making the decision.
However, I could care less about buying a calendar. I like Classic Car calendars better.
