'Transformers' posters — more than meets the eye

Collider.com has revealed new poster art for "Transformers," Michael Bay's next summer action blockbuster.
You can see the poster featuring Optimus Prime right here [1]. This is the poster featuring Megatron [2].
The observant blogger Frosty at Collider.com noticed what looks like alien script carved into the metal around the robots' eyes. I don't know if those are calligraphic characters just invented for the movie, or if those are Japanese kanji or some other Asian language.
Can somebody smarter than me [3] identify that writing? Here are the high-resolution versions of the Optimus Prime [4] and Megatron [5] posters, which might save you some squinting.
