Filming Of Transformers 3 To Blow Up... Downtown Traffic

2010-06-24T22:52:00.000-07:00

The “Transformers 3” news conference held Wednesday at the Office of Emergency Management and Communications wasn't meant to stir up interest in the film, which will shoot in Chicago from July 10-Aug. 19, but to prepare the general public. For what? Jets flying by Willis Tower? Cars plummeting into the Chicago River? Shia LaBeouf's awkward return to the Walgreens on North Michigan Avenue? Nope... Traffic.

OEMC Executive Director Jose Santiago said the closures on LaSalle Street (8 p.m. July 9 to 5 a.m. July 12), the Michigan Avenue bridge (8 p.m. July 16 to 5 a.m. July 19) and Upper Wacker Drive (9 p.m. July 18 to 5 a.m. July 22) will have the most impact on traffic. He added that most of the movie's filming in Chicago will take place during daylight.

“It's an ambitious production … but we and the producers are committed to mitigating the disruptions and addressing community concerns,” said Chicago Film Office Director Rich Moskal.

What can Chicagoans expect from filming — besides traffic?

Moskal said recently a few “scenes they're planning could match if not exceed the spectacular stuff ‘The Dark Knight' production pulled off.”

Yes, he's talking about the 2008 Batman film that featured an 18-wheeler getting flipped over on LaSalle Street and a massive explosion that leveled the old Brach's Candy building on the West Side.

“Flying debris, flipping cars, stunts, that's the kind of stuff you'll probably be seeing here,” added Moskal.

2010-06-23T22:50:00.000-07:00

Transformers 3 To Bring $20 Million + 200 Jobs To Chicago, Mayor Daley Welcomes The 'Bayhem'

2010-06-18T22:38:00.000-07:00

Michael Bay’s official website; Shoot For The Edit, posted two articles from Chicago Sun-Times and from the Chicago Tribune, letting us know that Transformers 3 is bringing $20 million and 200 jobs to Chicago. This happy news is capped with the fact that Mayor Daley blessed the Transformers 3 project and welcomes the “Bayhem” with open arms. Transformers 3 is certain to include even more scenes of death and destruction on the streets of Chicago.

“You’re gonna see a little bit of mayhem. You know, I mean it wouldn’t be ‘Transformers’ without it,” Di Bonaventura said.

“Hopefully, it’ll be fun. What we find is, people really end up enjoying the spectacle of what we’re doing.”

Di Bonaventura said they were still selecting specific sites to film, but would “be shooting a lot in downtown.”

The jobs generated by the Transformers project will include 10 internships for South and West side high school students.

Sideswipe Returns for Transformers 3 as a Convertible!

2010-06-18T22:30:00.000-07:00

Looks like it's not Bumblebee who's getting his top off. Thanks to YouTube user nando323, we now have a confirmation on the new model design of Corvette Stingray (Vehicle mode of movie Sideswipe). The "new" Convertible Sideswipe was spotted during a Transformers 3 filming in L.A, alongside his Autobot buddies; Bumblebee and the Ferrari 458 Italia. Hasbro will be happy. Since Mattel took the rights to manufacture toys based on the regular Stingray (which explains why we are getting Aston Martin DB9 shaped Sideswipe RPMs and Lotus Elise shaped Deluxe Sidearm Sideswipes), Hasbro now can own the rights to deliver toys based on the new model.

We’ve previously reported about Transformers 3 being filmed in Michigan Avenue a.k.a. Magnificent Mile thanks to Collecticon.org.

Now, they have posted the exact dates too.

"Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, also known as “The Magnificent Mile”, will be closed to foot and vehicular traffic on July 15th at 8 PM through July 19th at 5 AM for commencement of filming for Transformers 3. There will be lots of explosions and crashing cars during this time. The general public will not be allowed to enter the area directly surrounding Michigan Avenue and the filming is expected to be intense. Businesses along Michigan Avenue are currently receiving information regarding the filming schedule. This will in effect close down the busiest shopping district in Chicago for 3 & 1/2 full days!

New Transformers 3 on set pictures - including a clear view of Ratchet's new look!

2010-06-09T21:48:00.000-07:00

A small gallery has been posted to Flickr, showing off the vehicles of Transformers 3 in storage prior to being used on screen. The Ironhide Topkick and the Optimus Prime truck are both there, as is a group of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles, used for scouting terrain from the air). What is particularly exciting though is the presence of Autobot Ratchet, in his all-new deco. We previously saw it in transit, but it was partially covered up. Now you can see the whole thing for the first time! Ratchet now features a much brighter green, as well as a large gray stripe on the side panels and an entirely gray hood on his front. His side panels, instead of the "lifesign pulse" detail, now feature the wording "FIRE DEPARTMENT E4".

Transformers 3 Washington D.C Filming Plans – A Car Race

2010-06-07T21:43:00.000-07:00

The Washington Post published an article today telling the world what exactly the Transformers 3 Production Team going to shoot during their stay at Washington D.C.

This is what the article read...

Battle of the Transformers starts even before the opening credits
By Jonathan O'Connell
Monday, June 7, 2010

As the story goes, the Transformers -- enmeshed in intergalactic battle -- traveled from the far-off planet of Cybertron all the way to earth in pursuit of an all-powerful talisman.

They are having trouble handling the National Park Service, however.

Plans are underway for portions of the third segment in the blockbuster Transformers series to be filmed in D.C. this September, a chance for the city and its businesses to reap spending on hotel rooms, meals, equipment rentals, taxi rides and temporary jobs from a production budget some have estimated to total more than $200 million.

A dispute with the Park Service, however, over where and what the film crew will be allowed to shoot has producers from Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks scaling back their plans for the city. The companies had planned a colossal number of filming days -- about 14 -- in addition to an expected month or more of time in D.C. for other production needs. Now the period of "principal photography" might be whittled down to less than a week, despite the project having director Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielberg at the helm.

Paramount spokeswoman Gabriela Gutentag said with negotiations ongoing, she did not know how many days the company would end up filming in D.C. "We've gone from two weeks to 10 days to three days to seven days; I don't really know," she said.

Bill Line, Park Service spokesman, said the producers "have asked to do some things that simply are not done on the National Mall," among them staging a "car race" along the Mall's gravel paths and flooding it with artificial light in order to shoot at night.

"A lot of this could be more appropriately shot in a Hollywood studio," Line said. "The National Mall is not an area in which Americans come to see high-tech action movies being shot."

Kathy Hollinger, director of the D.C. Office of Motion Picture and Television Development, acknowledged that the plans amounted to "a lot more than D.C. has ever been accustomed to in terms of scale and impact," including, for instance, simulated explosions and pyrotechnics at locations along Pennsylvania and Independence avenues.

"The robots will be here," she said. "It's not like they're going to be building and having these little miniature Transformers running around and then make them look real with CGI effects afterward."

But Hollinger said that even with the changing plans, she expected "Transformers 3" to possibly have the greatest economic impact on the city of any film, surpassing the roughly $7.5 million Universal Pictures dropped in the city during six weeks of work in 2008 on "State of Play," a Russell Crowe film with scenes from Ben's Chili Bowl and the Georgetown waterfront. For "Transformers 3," her office has also partnered with a Los Angeles-area organization to train 50 District residents for production assistant jobs with Paramount, and she believes the film will also lead to tourism business.

"The economic impact is tremendous because of its effects during the years after," Hollinger said. "Tourists, families, kids want to go to the cities where 'Transformers' was filmed, similar to the effect that 'Night at the Museum' has had."

After "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" came out in 2009, the city's marketing arm, Destination D.C., partnered with Post Foods and Kraft Foods on a promotional sweepstakes offering a prize trip to Washington and overnight stay at the National Air and Space Museum.

Though a lot is at stake with a blockbuster like "Transformers 3," the tension isn't new. Carol Flaisher, a longtime location manager in D.C., said producers and the Park Service were natural antagonists, with the movie crews demanding to do whatever they please and the Park Service wagging its finger. "We want to make the best movie we can make and that may mean pushing the envelope, and the Park Service is in the position of pushing back," she said.

"It's not 'Transformers 3,' " she said. "It's every single movie production that comes to town."

Don Murphy’s Sunday Posting For 2010/06/06 – Transformers 3

2010-06-06T21:38:00.000-07:00

Transformers 3 producer Mr. Don Murphy posted a “Good Ol’ Sunday Posting” and talked briefly about the upcoming Transformers Live Action Movie. Although he didn’t mentioned much but, he did say that they are into the third week of filming and we will see old favorites and new characters.

This is what Mr. Murphy said about Transformers 3…
“TRANSFORMERS 3 is starting its third week of shooting. As you guys know, everything on this movie is super top secret., but it is going very well and I think you will all be stoked to see old favorites and new characters coming at ya. You know I liked the second film a lot- that said the new screenplay brings back the sense of awe and wonder that made the first film so exciting and special. It’s a shame that Megan didn’t work out but with what Michael has planned you won’t miss her. There is still a hell of a lot of shooting to go and you don’t need me the way you guys dig up clues and shit- suffice it to say NEXT Fourth of July you guys will be excited again. I personally can’t wait.”

Shoot For The Edit Site Update - Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Officially Confirmed and Filming in LA

2010-06-03T21:34:00.000-07:00

This is it. Michael Bay's official website; Shoot For The Edit welcomed Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to the Transformers Franchise. With it, We are now fully confirmed about Miss Rosie's involvement in Transformers 3.

The site also talked about filming Transformers 3 in LA. This is what the news update read...

"Nelson here...

I would like for all you S4TE fans to welcome Rosie Huntington Whitely to the world of Transformers. As some of you might know, she's the new female lead in Transformers 3. She's worked with Michael before in his Victoria's Secret "A Thousand Fantasies" ad.

Director and executive producer Michael Bay has begun filming the third installment in the "Transformers" franchise in Los Angeles, where the production economy has been buffeted by the loss of such big studio features to other cities offering more generous film tax incentives.

The DreamWorks/Paramount Pictures production has been shooting on a sound stage at the former Spruce Goose Howard Hughes hangar at Playa Vista and will film exterior shots throughout the L.A. area over the next several weeks, including Long Beach, West Hollywood, Century City and Malibu.The first two "Transformers" movies were also shot heavily in Southern California, filming numerous scenes downtown and at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert.

"Mike, [producer] Lorenzo [di Bonaventura] and I are all big fans of trying to keep as much of our production in L.A. as possible," said Bay's producing partner, Ian Bryce. "It's a big movie. All our stage work is being done here."

In all, six weeks of the 4 1/2 months of shooting will occur in the L.A. area, with the rest of the filming spread across Chicago, Detroit, Washington and Cape Canaveral, Fla., and a few foreign locales, including Russia and an undisclosed African country, Bryce said.

Bryce said the science-fiction action movie starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Patrick Dempsey required more diverse locations than L.A. could offer, and also cited the advantages of "very attractive rebates" offered in Michigan and Illinois, which will also host the production for six weeks.

The picture, with an estimated production budget of at least $200 million and a local crew of nearly 500, would not qualify for California's new film incentive program, which is limited to movies with budgets of up to $75 million."

Tyrese Gibson Begins Transformers 3 Filming

2010-05-27T21:31:00.000-07:00

Throughout the last week all we heard was the “Megan Fox Incident”. It’s happy to hear from Tyrese Gibson (USAF Master Sergeant Robert Epps) that he just attended his Transformers 3 filming today.

The actor updated his Twitter account with…
“First day of filming T3 in the am!. I’m so damn pumped I can't even sleep!!!...”

And with… “Just got to set first day of filming Transformers 3! Wow!!”

We will end this article with Epps' famous quote from the Transformers Live Action Movies; “Bring The Rain!!!”

Tyrese Gibson Talks About The Recent Events

2010-05-25T08:53:00.000-07:00

The "Transformers"-loving world was shocked last week when it was revealed that star Megan Fox would not be returning for the upcoming third movie in the franchise, which starts shooting this week.

"Transformers" co-star Tyrese Gibson (USAF Master Sergeant Robert Epps) said he was disappointed when he heard the news of Fox's departure.

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

"I was sad about it, man. Genuinely," he told MTV News on the red carpet for the E! 20th anniversary celebration Monday night. "We built something here. We all did. We all put our own sauce and stamp and energy on this franchise."

As much as he was bummed to hear the news, Gibson isn't prying into the backstory before he heads to the "Transformers 3" set this Thursday. "I don't know exactly what went down," he said. "But it's crazy to see the band get broken up, you know what I mean?"

No matter which story you believe — that Paramount decided not to exercise Fox's option, or that Fox decided she wanted out — it certainly is surprising that such a key figure in the franchise would be removed so suddenly, especially with production so close to kicking off. The problematic Fox/Bay relationship aside, there have been few indications of problems in the "Transformers" camp. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura even told MTV News in a recent interview that a "Transformers" without Fox was unthinkable.

"Michael and Megan get along great. Like in any creative endeavor, there's not always total agreement," he said at the time. "But I think [reports of their issues with one another is] much ado about nothing. I even read that we were thinking about not casting her. Come on! It's so silly. As though we would want to mess with such a successful combination."

Megan Fox Leaves Transformers, Gemma Arterton to Replace Fox?

2010-05-19T21:00:00.000-07:00

A report on deadline.com is reporting that Paramount will not be picking up the option for Megan Fox to appear in the third Transformers film. Deadline.com also reports the decision came down to director Michael Bay, who gave Fox the thumbs down.

People.com reports, representatives for Megan Fox are saying it was her decision to leave the Transformers film franchise.

"Prince of Persia" star Gemma Arterton is the front-runner to replace Megan Fox in "Transformers 3," TheWrap has learned.

An individual close to the casting process says the actress has already had discussions with Bay about the coveted role. Other possible replacements for Fox include models Bar Rafaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker.

Paramount has confirmed to TheWrap that the studio decided against picking up Fox's option for the sequel, and an individual close to the production explained that as screenwriter Ehren Kruger was developing the screenplay with director Michael Bay, it made sense for Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) to have a new love interest.

Shia LaBeouf Says Transformers 3 Will Be Better, Reveals Plot Details

2010-05-14T07:48:00.000-07:00

SPOILER ALERT : This article contains plot elements of the 3rd Transformers Live Action Movie.

Shia LaBeouf told The Associated Press that Transformers 3 "brings the heart back to the franchise." He starts working on the third installment on Tuesday.

The new script restores a human element that got lost in the second movie, LaBeouf said. "When I saw the second movie, I wasn't impressed with what we did," LaBeouf said at the Cannes Film Festival. "There were some really wild stunts in it, but the heart was gone."

Michael Bay returns for the third time as director of the science-fiction franchise, which centers on dueling races of giant robots that bring their war to Earth. The next movie will have what the last one lacked - a sense of human consequences, LaBeouf said.

On the second movie, "we got lost. We tried to get bigger. It's what happens to sequels. It's like, how do you top the first one? You've got to go bigger," LaBeouf said. "Mike went so big that it became too big, and I think you lost the anchor of the movie. ... You lost a bit of the relationships. Unless you have those relationships, then the movie doesn't matter. Then it's just a bunch of robots fighting each other."

With "Transformers 3," the toll of the robot war will be grave for our planet, LaBeouf said.

"There's going to be a lot of death, human death. This time, they're targeting humans," LaBeouf said. "It's going to be the craziest action movie ever made, or we failed."

Transformers 3 is coming to theaters on July 1, 2011.

Space Coast, Florida updated their Twitter account to let us in on an upcoming shooting for Transformers 3.

As we all know, this is where the Kennedy Space Center is.

UPDATE: Got the confirmation from the Kennedy Space Center that it will be the main location for the TF3 Shooting.

Brevard County Film Commissioner Bonnie King tells Central Florida on Demand that filming will last about 8 days in early September. She says location scouts have visited the area for 2-3 days at a time, looking at other areas to shoot. Those include Patrick Air Force Base, Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Merritt Island Airport, Lone Cabbage Fish Camp in Cocoa, and a Cocoa beach house.

Brand New Upgraded Twins In Transformers 3

2010-05-12T07:23:00.000-07:00

Director Michael Bay was telling the truth after all? The "Revenge Of The Fallen" Twins aren't the ones who are returning, but rather Brand New Twins.

leftlanenews.com spy report identifies Two new Chevy Sparks with Autobot insignias during pre-production of Transformers 3.

"Sporting “Autobot” center caps on the wheels, these two vehicles were captured doing some pre-production work before principal filming starts in a few weeks. We think you are looking at Skidz (green) and Mudflap (orange).

Skidz is looking much sportier than in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with new front and rear fascias, larger fenders, sportier wheels and a big wing. Mudflap was previously based on the Chevy Traxx concept, but for this installment, it appears both cars will be built off the Chevy Spark.

General Motors will once again be the main vehicle supplier for the latest Transformers movie, so expect to see several other GM-badged vehicles, including a black and yellow Chevy Camaro as Bumblebee."

So, now we know the motive behind Mr. Bay's comment. He wanted to hush the latest looks of everyone's favorite Robotic Twins; Skids and Mudflap.

Rumor - Gabriela Plana In Transformers 3?

2010-05-12T07:16:00.000-07:00

Lovely NBC Reporter and Talk Show Host Gabriela Plana updated her Twitter and Facebook accounts saying that she is "working" on Transformers 3.

Being a reporter in real life means that she must be starring as a news reporter in Transformers 3 too. What could she be reporting? A protest or the assassination of an entire city full of humans perhaps? Looks like there are quite a lot of "human" activities going on for Transformers 3.
Or on the other hand though, She could be reporting a scoop about Transformers 3 shootings.

Either way, Transformers Fans Win. A beautiful face for a movie about Anti-Transformers Campaigns (and Anti-Human Campaigns by the Decepticons) or an upcoming official on-set report?

Transformers Fan Ben Brown was on site where a scene from Transformers 3 being filmed, shared a video of a Smart Car being thrown down a alley in Los Angeles. This shot was preceded by a scene where Autobots Skids and Mudflap were seen cruising nearby.

Ben had this to say...
"Perched on the windowsill of the NeighborGoods office, I recorded this awesome scene from the upcoming Transformers 3 movie. You can even hear Michael Bay yelling at people!

We also saw the Autobot “twins” zooming around. Apparently, one or both of them will transform and beat the crap out of this tiny little car. Totally awesome."

Actress and Comedian Kym Elizabeth Whitley updated her Official Twitter Account saying “Working on Transformers 3 today, a little nervous...always when starting a new project. I have said the Lords prayer 12 times.”

And another actress; Melody Mooney (“Who Wants to Be a Superhero?” fame) also mentioned Transformers 3. But, she won’t be joining though. She revealed a plot detail. Melody stated that Two Robots (most probably Decepticons) will assassinate humans in a town. The shooting location is her home town (Sherman Oaks, CA). If there are any fans over there, you might want to take a little peek at the action. (And No, if you see Shia driving a Chevrolet Silverado Pickup Truck, that’s his personal vehicle and not Soundwave’s earth mode.)

Kym Whitley talked more about her role to BV on Movies.

"I usually don't like mentioning that I am working on 'Transformers' because I was also in 'Transformers 2' and I got cut out," she said. "So I try not to get excited about working on the project until I see the final edit, because you never know what's going to happen."

She added that "The real excitement about working on the film just comes from working with [director] Michael Bay. He writes these parts for me and just lets me roll with it. You can't beat that. It's kind of like working with Larry David, when I did 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' Michael Bay works fast though. He laughs a lot, too. You rarely get someone to just tell you to go ahead and do your thing. That's the beauty of working with him."

'Transformer 3,' which is scheduled for release on July 1, 2011, has a cast that includes Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Ken Jeong, and Patrick Dempsey.

Transformers 3 on-set pictures - a new look for Ratchet?

2010-05-08T07:03:00.000-07:00

Following on from the pictures posted on Mega-Fox.net of Bumblebee's new look, we've got some on set images from tweetphoto showing off Optimus Prime and Ratchet on a flatbed trailer. Optimus Prime does not at first glance look too different from the truck from the first two films, however Ratchet looks significantly different - a lot more green, with white stripes and what appears to be markings on the side of the vehicle. There's also a picture of a couple of Ironhide trucks cruising the 405 for your pleasure.

Stuff.co.nz has posted an article about Megan Fox and her portrayal of Mikaela Banes in Transformers 3. The article suggests that her character be strong with more to do. For those tuning in for her looks, Megan Fox has also apparently convinced Michael Bay and company to make her look less tan (or "orange).

What are you more excited about, Mikaela having a larger role in the story or her paler skin?

MTV's Chat With Lorenzo di Bonaventura

2010-05-01T06:41:00.000-07:00

MTV recently had a brief chat with Transformers 3 Producer; Lorenzo di Bonaventura. He talked about some very important topics that are being circulated throughout the Internet as facts or rumors. Bonaventura explained about the possibility of Transformers 3 going 3D, Dispute between Megan Fox & Michael Bay and most importantly about the Core Mythology Plot of Transformers 3.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura stated that producing Transformers 3 in 3D is still in discussion; “We're literally in the middle of that. There's no definitive answer“

He dismissed the rumor of the dispute between Megan Fox and Michael Bay; “Come on! It's so silly. As though we would want to mess with such a successful combination.”

And teased the fans about the Core Mythology of Transformers 3; “I didn't think we veered away from the mythology in the second one. We stay pretty close to mythology in general, sometimes we add to it, as we did on the first and the second one. In second one, we're dealing with the matrix of leadership, a very clear mythological component. The Fallen is one of the original 13 Transformers. We were sticking fairly close to the mythology. We are going to continue to explore the past in the third one and that will continue to inform the present. I think it's pretty much the same thing we did on the first two: you try to get as close as you can to the lore and sometimes you run into pieces where there's not enough information to make a judgment, so you make you own call. That's a necessary component. By and large, the fans have accepted and embraced what we've been doing.”

We’ll be hearing more Transformers 3 news, now that things are set in motion.

2010-04-29T06:39:00.000-07:00

Some of you may have heard of him, Some of you may not. But the important thing is, actor Robert Paul Taylor will be in Transformers 3.

On April 27th the actor updated his twitter account with...
"TRANSFORMERS 3!! I just got the call!!!! Top Secret Desert Location! Oh I'm loving this..."

"Canceling Cancun vacation to work Transformers 3."

Who will he be? And where is this Top Secret Desert Location?

2010-04-28T06:34:00.000-07:00

Chicago will act as the navel point for the Principal Photography of Transformers 3, says reelchicago.com. Basically, the Giant Fighting Robots will duke it out at the Windy City for the 3rd time.

Also, the article revealed that the filming will begin on 4th of July and will successfully continue for seven weeks.

Chicago Film Office director Rich Moskal calls the upcoming big-budget shoot “a blockbuster in every sense of the word; in terms of economic impact, stunts and special effects.” In a sit-down with the producers last winter, Mayor Daley was agreeable to their city location requests “as he saw the multiple value in this big movie shooting here,” says Moskal. They will shoot along Michigan Avenue and throughout the Loop.

Tony Todd To Play A Human In Transformers 3

2010-04-27T06:31:00.000-07:00

Mr. Tony Todd (voice of The Fallen in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen) recently attended the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo 2010. 2005 Board member Keroshino took the opportunity to ask about Mr. Todd's role in Transformers 3.

Tony Todd once said that he will be returning to the Transformers Movie Franchise. But didn't reveal how or for what character.

Thanks to Keroshino, we now know that Mr. Todd hinted that he will be playing a Human Character for the 3rd Movie.

Actor Tony Todd has been in over 100 films and television shows, lending his versatile talents to the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres. He's best known as the Candyman and has appeared in the Final Destination series, the Crow, the Rock, Wishmaster, Platoon, and Night of the Living Dead. He's also the voice of The Fallen in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He's made guest appearances as Worf's brother Kurn in Star Trek, Boston Public, Hercules, Xena, the X-Files, Smallville, Angel, 24, Stargate SG-1, Chuck and Andromeda!

But, who will he be for Transformers 3? A military personnel? an evil scientist? or maybe just for a cameo appearance?

Shia LaBeouf Finds Returning To Transformers 3 Hard

2010-04-23T06:28:00.000-07:00

Femalefirst.co.uk recently had a chat with the "Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf a.k.a Sam Witwicky.

Shia had this to say...
“My mind battles with me all the time. My mind hates the fact that I’m going back to Transformers 3, but the kid in me loves it. The actor in me, who is looking to challenge himself, isn’t going to get it on in Transformers and I know that.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m any less dedicated to that movie being perfect. I wasn’t happy with the second movie and unless the third one is better than both, then we failed.”

Will the future Transformers live action movies be "Sam-less"?

Thanks to TFW2005.

John Malkovich On Transformers Movie Franchise and Transformers 3

2010-04-21T06:18:00.000-07:00

While ComingSoon.net chatted with Lorenzo di Bonaventura, IGN had decided to chat with actor John Malkovich.

Malkovich, admitted that he likes a good giant-robot movie as much as the next guy, despite his seemingly higher-brow tendencies.

He had this to say...
"I was never a fanatical movie person," Malkovich told. "There are many popular films I love like anyone else. Having said that, I'm not someone… I don't have time to go to the movies very much. I work [on] a lot of different things; I'm always busy. But I'm always happy to see a popular movie. … I'd seen the first [Transformers], which I liked and thought it was funny."

The article confirms the earlier rumor of Transformers 3 Principal Photography to begin in May.

Also, LatinoReview.com too had a talk with the actor...
How did you get involved with the new Transformers movie?
Malkovich: I spoke with him last week. Lorenzo and Mark and Summit are producing. They approached me about it. I’d see the first one, which I liked and thought it was funny. I like working with them very much. They’re very good producers, they’re very hands-on, always around, really get their hands dirty which is not so normal.

Things are set in motion. What do you think of "General Bay" and the cast? Think Transformers 3 can beat the predecessors? Why not share your views with others by commenting.

Thanks to TFW2005.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura On Transformers 3

2010-04-21T06:10:00.000-07:00

ComingSoon.net recently chatted with "Transformers" producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about what is going on with Transformers 3, scheduled for a July 1, 2011 release.

On the chat, Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained about his involvement on producing Transformers 3 and about John Malkovich.

Q: On a film like "Transformers 3," do you find yourself having to explain a lot about what you're doing to the director and studio or are you given free reign?
Lorenzo di Bonaventura: Not with Bay, you know? With Bay, no not too much there either. Bay is such a general that it moves at his pace. The first movie we had to explain a lot of why we wanted to spend this, what was going on… dah dah dah, but most movies in my experience and in most studios they're all running in a difficult time right now and they're concerned about their careers and concerned about the results. I grew up in the Warner Brothers system and our philosophy was once we made our bet, which meant it's up to the filmmakers to deliver it. So it wasn't a particularly intrusive system after once it made its bet. You had to pass a lot of hurdles to get to the go, but once you got there it was like, alright we're here. We've placed our bet and our philosophy at Warner's was you can't direct the movie if you're an executive and you can't write the movie and you can't act the movie, so you know, unless they're going sideways what can you do? It's up to them to elevate it.

Q: Are any of these actors you're working with now, are they going to be in any of your future films?
Di Bonaventura: Actually [John] Malkovich is in "Transformers 3."

Q: And what is his role in that?
Di Bonaventura: You know we don't talk a lot about that script, but he's going to have a lot of interaction with Shia in that movie. And he's got a really fun character. And he's going to bring a really interesting spin to that franchise so it's going to be great.

Thanks to TFW2005.

Happy Birthday TFW2005!!!

2010-04-20T09:32:00.000-07:00

Well, every year on April 20th, we celebrate the official birthday of TFW2005.COM.

So, today not only marks TFW2005.COM's birthday for this year, but also for our first DECADE in existence. That's right, TFW2005 turns 10 today. Crazy huh? It seems like a lifetime ago. Beast Wars was just ending, Car Robots (eventually Robots in Disguise here) was in full swing over in Japan, and Beast Machines were hitting shelves. That was TEN YEARS AGO!

Congratulations TFW2005 !!! :-)

Transformers 3 Update From Michael Bay

2010-03-22T07:44:00.000-07:00

michaelbay.com was updated a short while ago to let us in on some Transformers 3 News. We get our first look at the newest Autobot to join the ranks and the names of new cast members for the movie

Hey, it's been a long time since I've posted. Just been a little busy.

Transformers 3 has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from “Hangover” and the Doctor from “Knocked Up.”

We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month.

I also was at a Ferrari charity event this week raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.

I also want to thank everyone on this site that donated to the Make -A-Wish charity. We raised $20,000 which I will personally be matching. This is a great charity where they make wishes come true for kids who are very ill. We have had many Kids from Make-A-Wish visit us on our Transformers sets and this time we will be posting video of they're visits on Transformers 3.

The car is just... WOW !!!

Packaging Shots for Leader-Class Battle Hooks Optimus Prime and Starscream

2010-03-16T23:53:00.000-07:00

The-Arker has posted multiple shots of the packaging for the first two Leader-class figures from Hasbro's 2010 Transformers line: Starscream and Optimus Prime (with Battle Hooks).

Starscream : http://www.the-arker.com/news_show.asp?Info_id=4138

Bio

Optimus Prime may think him a coward, but Starscream never flees a fight out of fear alone. Every retreat is calculated to keep him alive long enough to return and destroy his opponents with overwhelming power. As long as the Autobots seek him in force, he will remain hidden. As soon as Optimus Prime ventures out alone, however, Starscream will strike.

Optimus Prime (with Battle Hooks) : http://www.the-arker.com/news_show.asp?Info_id=4137

Bio

Optimus Prime is under no illusions about how dangerous Starscream really is. The Decepticon second-in-command might be a coward, but he's still smart and powerful enough to present a real threat to Earth. The Autobot leader has Human and Autobot agents combing the globe for the hiding air warrior. As soon as they find him, though, it will be Optimus Prime alone who goes in to bring him down.

Hasbro's HUB TV Commercial

2010-03-16T23:45:00.000-07:00

There is a commercial for Hasbro and Discovery’s HUB TV Channel, surfacing here and there on the net. I’ve managed to find a good copy and uploaded it to YouTube. Nothing much to mention other than that, there will be a some sort of tv series regarding Transformers. Nothing is mentioned about the tv series, but I’m pretty sure that we’ll be seeing that commercial soon. Apparently, there are rumors that this TV Commercial was shown at the ToyFair. Can anyone who visited the ToyFair 2010 confirm this ?

Watch it here : YouTube - Hasbro's HUB TV Commercial

Enjoy !!!

Edit : This commercial is now available at Hasbro's official website, but the streaming is Poor. Good thing I uploaded it to YouTube.

Transformers 3 Concept Art Surfaces

2010-03-16T23:39:00.000-07:00

Images of what is quite possibly concept art for Transformers 3 / upcoming video game has surfaced, originating from Frankell Baramdyka who has done some work on the Transformers movie games for Activision/Luxoflux and High Moon Studios and has worked on movies such as Chronicles of Riddick and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. The possible concept art suggests that Earth may not be on the only non-Cybertronian planet seen in the third movie or upcoming video game and also shows of a few new possible characters (including some familiar terminology!). If this is official concept art for the movie, it also confirms the production team's promise that the movie will dig deeper into the Transformers mythos.

Links to the Images removed at the request of Hasbro/Activision representatives.

Enjoy !!! :-)

Monocle of The AllSpark has provided an image from media advertising magazine Brandweek that promotes a sneak peak of Hasbro and Discovery's upcoming network "The Hub". One of the characters featured on the image is the robot version of Bumblebee from the upcoming Transformers cartoon for The Hub that is currently called Transformers: Prime. The image of Bumblebee shares some characteristics of movie-verse Bumblebee, suggesting that Transformers: Prime will indeed take place with the Movie Universe!

"Transformers : Hunt For The Decepticons" Books

2010-03-16T23:34:00.001-07:00

Three new Transformers books have been found listed online by 2005 Boards member NIBMRatchet. The three new books come under the upcoming Hunt for the Decepticons iniative that carries on the Movie universe following the Revenge of the Fallen line. The three books are titled Satellite Meltdown, Ratchet to the Rescue, and Buddy Brawl.

Is this, together with yesterday's news that Transformers Animated may be continued in print form, a sign that Hasbro may be broadening their approach to Transformers fiction beyond cartoons and comics?

Transformers 3 to bring Core Mythology to the fore

2010-03-02T05:47:00.000-08:00

In an interview with the MTV Movies Blog, Hasbro CEO and Transformers live action movie series executive producer Brian Goldner has revealed a few new teasing hints at what might be in store for Transformers 3. In particular, there is a promise of going back to the roots of the story and bringing more of the core mythology to the forefront:

"What we’re really doing is getting back to some of the core character development and storytelling. And I think there’s some elements of the core story that the filmmakers, Michael in particular wanted to tell. He’s really well-versed in the Transformers lore. So I think you’ll see, you know, less bedlam, more characters."

In addition to the comments on the story, Brian Goldner confirms that stars Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf will be returning to reprise their roles in the third film.

Michael Bay talks Transformers 3, promises new characters and twists

2010-03-02T05:43:00.000-08:00

Michael Bay was a guest on Starz' "In the House", and true to form, he took a little time out to talk about his upcoming projects including Transformers 3. While Michael Bay was tight-lipped about specific plans, he revealed that yes, himself and Paramount are experimenting with 3-D for some Transformers scenes. Michael Bay wants to see how it will look for his footage with lots of particles coming out of the frame. And of course, he also teased on adding new characters and new story revelations, although he's not given anything away:

"We're adding a lot of new elements. We're adding new characters. We're adding a lot of twists."

What does this mean for Transformers 3? What new elements and new twists could be introduced into the story this time around? Check out the full article on the MTV Movies Blog

Peaugh Review - Voyager Seaspray

2010-02-20T03:12:00.000-08:00

The month of February has been Voyager Seaspray's time to shine. He's been revealed several times, most notably in our coverage of Toyfair 2010 here. To top it all off, we have a video review from famous Peaugh.

The figure is one of the first figures to be part of the general Transformers line, which will incorporate figures from all aspects of Transformers, including character designs inspired from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and general throwbacks. Seaspray is part of the Hasbro's "Hunt For The Decepticons" campaign and got a good chance of being in the 3rd movie. I just love this toy.

Transformers : Nefarious Info

2010-02-18T08:16:00.000-08:00

It's been quite a some time I updated the site. Sorry about that, I've been bit busy with exams and project work.

Anyway, Got some information about the upcoming comic book sequel to "Transformers : Revenge Of The Fallen" named "Transformers : Nefarious"

Nefarious #1 will hit the comic book stands somewhere next March.

What is The Initiative? More to the point, why doesn’t the all-seeing SOUNDWAVE know anything about it? How did they come to reanimate/control RAVAGE? SOUNDWAVE must find the answers, and he’ll destroy anything in his path to get them!

Nefarious #2 will hit the comic book stands on April.

Layers within layers are revealed as the massive global conspiracy that is Project: Nefarious continues to unfold. OPTIMUS PRIME wants answers, and he's prepared to go to any lengths to get them. But how far is too far? And by committing his forces to stopping SOUNDWAVE, is Prime just playing right into The Initiative's hands?

Nefarious #3 will be here on May.

Capturing SOUNDWAVE is one thing, holding onto him quite another... as BUMBLEBEE, JOLT, KNOCK OUT and DUNE RUNNER are about to find out! And while the Autobots and Decepticons continue to stumble in the dark, National Security Director Theodore Galloway closes in on the secrets of Project: Nefarious... but his days are numbered!

So on and So on... Nefarious will continue to entertain us monthly.

Will let you know when more info arrives.

Transformers 3 Scouting Location Update

2010-01-27T05:55:00.000-08:00

Michael Bay has updated his official website with a little bit of information on potential locations at which Transformers 3 may be filmed. The director states that he scouted Chicago, Detroit, and Washington D.C. for potential locations. He also added that the script for the third movie is feeling very different than that of the first two. The rest of his update talks about how he assisted with the Haiti disaster relief.

Hello everyone,

Busy scouting - Chicago, Detroit, and Washington D.C. for Transformers last week. Things are going well. The script is feeling very different from the other two. I ended my scout down in Miami this weekend to load my plane with 14 Florida Surgeons, specialists in various fields and flew them down to Haiti. We then returned with a planeload of a team of exhausted Miami Fire rescue. It is proving very difficult for these volunteers to get back home.

They say the news hardly gives the true scope of what really happened. They really feel about 500,000 probably died. One of the worst stories I heard from people down there - because of the huge lack of education in Haiti – when the earthquake struck – everyone ran inside buildings most likely to their graves. The state of Florida is really pulling their weight in this massive effort. Here some pics:

What is The Initiative? More to the point, why doesn’t the all-seeing SOUNDWAVE know anything about it? How did they come to reanimate/control RAVAGE? SOUNDWAVE must find the answers, and he’ll destroy anything in his path to get them!

Nefarious will serve as the comic book sequel to the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen film, and is written by Simon Furman with art by Carlos Magno. Expect to see this latest IDW Publishing title in comic book stores in March 2010.

Mikaela Banes Not Dying In TF3

2009-11-22T01:53:00.000-08:00

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen helmer Michael Bay has told the media (and everybody) to give Megan Fox "a break."

"It’s just, she’s young," Mr. Bay tells USA Today, "she only…23? It’s just hard. I’ve traveled around the world with her and she’s just like this world symbol now, you know?"

Mr. Bay also downplays the rumor that he's going to kill her off in Transformers 3. "No, no, no," he says. "She’s got a great part in Transformers 3."

He also notes that he is currently working on a script for the upcoming film but did not mention Ehren Krueger, who is the last remaining writer from the trio that wrote Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen after Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman decided they would not return.

Simon Furman Reveals, Transformers : Nefarious #1

2009-10-25T07:15:00.000-07:00

Simon Furman has updated his blog site with a script wrap for Transformers Nefarious issue #1, due out sometime next year. The Revenge of the Fallen sequel miniseries is slated to last for six issues, and spins out of the story in November's Tales of the Fallen Issue 5. Without spoiling too much, he says that the story will involve a new global conspiracy, four new toy Autobots making their debut, and four all-new Decepticon agents created specially for the story. The following is an excerpt from the blog site.

Spoiler Alert

SCRIPT (W)RAP — NEFARIOUS #1

Been a while since I did one of these post-script digressions, so here goes with issue #1 of the upcoming Transformers: Nefarious (6-issue) mini-series from IDW, a direct sequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (so set in the movie-verse). My aim is to keep this as spoiler-free as possible, but if you’d rather not even be teased, look away now! Strictly speaking, Nefarious begins in Tales of the Fallen #5, which features the mysterious resurrection of Ravage (and his even more mysterious mission). But even if you don’t catch that one, issue #1 rolls full pelt into a global conspiracy of which even the Autobots and Decepticons have been blissfully oblivious… until now. Featuring Soundwave, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Alice (yes, Alice!), a quartet of Autobot (toy) characters making their Earth-based debut and even four all-new, original Decepticons (you didn’t think Ravage was Soundwave’s only special agent, did you?), the first issue peels back some of the layers surrounding the mysterious (human) organization known as The Initiative and the (potentially) earth-shattering Project: Nefarious. Just how far and wide its reach extends into the warp of weft of recent Cybertronian history (and how much it’s about to influence their future too) will force Soundwave and then Optimus Prime into truly desperate measures (and a clash or two too) as they learn who’s really in charge of their destiny. And it’s not them! Issue #1 promises lots of intrigue, action, shocks and a final page that’ll leave you scraping your lower jaw off the floor. Do not miss this one!

Wow... That was really awesome !!!

Orci And Kurtzman Explain, Why They Are Not Writing For Transformers 3

2009-10-25T07:13:00.001-07:00

In a recent interview with IGN, Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have explained that their reason for passing on writing the third installment in the franchise is due to time constraints. They explain that they could not do a third movie due to other commitments and would not want any project they are involved in to suffer due to taking on too much work. The interview reveals that this is also why Transformers 3 writer Ehren Kruger was brought on to help with Revenge of the Fallen.

We will miss them both :-(

ROTF Home Video Sold 2 Million Copies In 1 Day

2009-10-25T07:10:00.000-07:00

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen sold 2 million discs on its first day of release. This total does seem to include both DVD and Blu-ray sales.

..the real talk of the town was Paramount/DreamWorks' "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," which arrived in stores Oct. 20 and within 24 hours had sold 2 million discs, according to industry sources -- giving the sell-through business, down 13.9% for the year, a badly needed shot in the arm.

Hurray For Transformers !!! :-)

ROTF Shines At The SpikeTV Awards

2009-10-19T06:34:00.000-07:00

I'm happy to announce that ROTF had won some awards; which includes Best Sci-Fi Actress, Special Effects and Breakthrough Awards.

Last night's Spike TV Scream 2009 awards for all the best in horror and Science-Fiction gave Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen three awards for Best Sci-Fi Acctress to Megan Fox, Best Sciral Effects and Best Breakthrough Performanse to Isabel Lucus. Fox used her acceptence speech for the Best Sci-Fi Actress as an opportunity to set the record straight on the rumors swirling around movie town about her future in the Transformers movie franchise. Stating again, that the rumors of her being killed off in Transformers 3 are totally false. Fox also reiterated her adoration, respect and appreciation for the opportunity to be in the movie for what she states as a modest role in the movie. From her award acceptance speech she states:

"I would like to take this moment to actually say something genuine. There have been a lot of false reports concerning how I feel about this movie and I just want to be very clear that I've always felt that I am a very ordinary part of an extraordinary film. These movies took me out of obscurity and they gave me a career and I am completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise."

Thanks For the Votes !!!

Transformers : Revenge Of The Fallen BluRay Special Edition

2009-10-14T09:00:00.000-07:00

Frenzy_Rumble has also managed to acquire the home version of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen ahead of its official October 20th release date. He has very kindly provided us with a full run down of all the features on the set, which are located on the second disk. Of particular note is the N.E.S.T Transformer Data-Hub which (among other cool features) allows you to view Industrial Light and Magic Production Art and renders in high res, and even view some sections and parts of characters in full 360 view. Another fun feature is the Allspark Experiment, which allows you to create your own custom Transformer!

The Human Factor Exacting Revenge of the Fallen
This is a commentary by actors/directors/concept artist/cast members etc. Really long, I've only watched brief parts of it. This area is broken into several sections:

Seeds of Vengeance - Development and Directing
Domestic Destruction - Production US
Joint Operations - Production Military
War of the world - Production Middle East
Start making sense - Editing
Under the Gun - Visual Effects
Running the Gauntlet - Post Production and Release
Credits

A Day with Bay : Tokyo
This is like a reality mini-show with Michael Bay in Tokyo, Japan. After watching it, I have a lot more respect for the guy...

25 Years of Transformers
Same thing we've seen before, history of Transformers, how they started back in 1984, and how they've evolved to how the world perceives them now. Little history on the toys, comics, apparel, etc.

N.E.S.T Transformer Data-Hub
This is a very cool bonus feature. It is an in-depth description of many Autobots and Decepticons in the film.

First you chose a faction,

For Decepticons, there is Megatron, Starscream, Devastator, Soundwave, Ravage, and the Fallen.

For Autobots, there is Prime, Jetfire, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Skids and Mudflap.

Selecting the robot will prompt a menu and screen about them. Top left is the tech spec data for that particular Transformer. Under that are the other sub categories for that TF. Most include :

Bio - text bio of that TF
Animated series - pictures/info of that character in the 80s cartoon
Marvel comics - bio and pictures from marvel comic TFs
IDW Comics - bio and pictures from IDW TFs
Concept Art - high res images of conceptual art
Hasbro Toys - different series toys of that TF
ILM Production Art - This one is very cool. Most include CGI rendering in high res, but some allow you to choose sections or parts of the character and see them in 360 view. Unfortunately, it's not too big (only in a smaller window) I would have liked to see this have an option to expand that 360 rotating CGI art to full screen...

Allspark Experiment
This is a really cool and fun bonus feature. You're basically taking the Allspark shard and adding it's power to an earth vehicle. User may chose from 3 different types of cars (Sports car, Sedan, mini-car) Jet, or Military vehicle (similar to Wreckage)

Once the user selects a vehicle, they may "customize" it; pick color (palette very limited; like 3 colors choices per) then you can customize the spoiler, front and back ends, accessories, tires and graphics (flames and stuff)

You then hit the "enter" button and a few seconds later, you'll see the vehicle you've customized - but as a unique Transformer.

Super Cool !!!

Bio of Recon Ironhide toy revealed

2009-10-12T11:50:00.000-07:00

Chinese transformer website The-Arker has recently given us bios for two upcoming Revenge of the Fallen releases, both belonging to the new N.E.S.T. Global Alliance sub-line. We had previously seen Decepticon Bludgeon bio but this is the first time we get Recon Ironhide one.

Recon/Jungle Attack Ironhide bio

Stalking through the jungles of Southeast Asia, Ironhide moves in absolute silence. The only sound is the dripping of the never-ending rain from the board leaves of immense trees. Yet he knows Decepticon Bludgeon is here somewhere, waiting for him. He has come to this verdant place to hunt the Decepticon martial artist and finish the job the other Autobots left undone. He has come to track and destroy a dangerous Decepticon warrior, once and for all.

I wonder if Ironhide will loose his alternate mode (GMC Topkick) because of the battle with Decepticon Bludgeon ?

Orci and Kurtzman not returning to write Transformers 3

2009-10-06T04:13:00.000-07:00

Posting on the Don Murphy message board, Transformers and Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen writer Roberto Orci has confirmed that himself and Alex Kurtzman will not be returning to write a third film.

He goes on to state later in the same discussion thread that Ehren Kruger will be taking on full writing chores for the third movie, and assures fans that Mr Kruger knows his Transformers.

The forum had this posted,

"So Bob and Alex is it true. you wont be involved this time round.
It's true.

Sorry to hear that Roberto, really I am. Are we in good hands with Mr. Kruger? Does he know his Transformers?
He does. He really did his homework. He's awesome."

There you have it. Orci and Kurtzman are out, Ehren Kruger is in. Whether that is good news or not probably depends on your feelings regarding much of the humor of the second film (the Twins, Devastator's balls, etc) as most of that came from the minds of Bay and Kruger. As always, time will tell.

Transformers 3 storyarc to be kick-started with "Transformers : Nefarious"

2009-10-04T10:01:00.000-07:00

As well as lot of cool new toys, revealed yesterday was IDW Publishing's next Transformers miniseries, Transformers : Nefarious. Transformers : Nefarious will follow on from Revenge of the Fallen, and will introduce a shadowy human organization with sinister plans on our favorite Robots in Disguise. The miniseries will be written by Simon Furman and have artwork by Carlos Magno. Cover art will be provided by Brian Rood. Look for it at comic stores early next year.

Simon Furman had this to say...

"the news is out, my next series for IDW will be Transformers: Nefarious, a six-issue movie continuity mini-series that picks up from the end of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and introduces an all-new adversary for the Transformers (Autobot and Decepticon) in the shape of a mysterious, far-reaching and very powerful group of humans with access to enhanced Transformer-tech and maybe even the odd actual Transformer! Seeds for the new series will be sown in the final Tales of the Fallen issue, Ravage, and he (along with Soundwave) play key roles in the unfolding drama. Expect lots more character depth and exploration for both. Actually, make that all characters. We’re going to be highlighting some Autobots and Decepticons that did and didn’t make it into the second movie and maybe, just maybe, throwing in the odd new character too! Plus, we’ll be exploring the post-movie NEST/Autobot human alliance in more detail too! For more info check out the IGN interview I did recently. Transformers: Nefarious kicks in shortly after Tales of the Fallen #6: Ravage. Don’t miss either!"

Things are now set in motion...

Toy Bios reveals TF3 plot details ?

2009-10-03T07:07:00.000-07:00

The latest toy-line from Hasbro had caught the eyes of Transformers movie fans all over the world, as it reveals possible major plot details from the upcoming movie.
The new "N.E.S.T Global Alliance" toy bios gives away a storyarc which tells a plot of events happening after the 2nd movie's story...

Voyager Bludgeon bio

Decepticon Bludgeon was nearly destroyed by a fight with the Metallikato Master Autobot Whirl. Forced to retreat and hide, he scanned a new vehicle mode and disappeared into the Southeast Asian jungle. He is desperate to prove himself against an Autobot, however, so he has caused just enough chaos locally to attract the attention of Ironhide. Now he lies in wait for the Autobot, ready to spring his trap and destroy his victim in an instant.

Deluxe Dirge bio

Dirge thought the heart of enemy territory - N.E.S.T. Headquarters - was the perfect place from which to launch a secret campaign of terror. A single slip-up revealed his presence, and brought his plans crumbling down. Now he's running scared with Bumblebee and Armorhide on his tail. He's to firghtened to land, but so terrified of running out of fuel that he finds himself breathing a sigh of relief every time he touches down.

Deluxe Tuner Mudflap bio

There was a time when Mudflap would have been intimidated by a warrior as accomplished as Sideswipe. But now, with the final battles of the war in his past, and a hot new engine and paint job, he's ready to give the Autobot sword-master a run for his money. Mudflap can't outfight Sideswipe, but there's no doubt in his mind he can out-drive the older Autobot.

Deluxe Armorhide bio

Things have been slow lately, so the discovery of a Decepticon hiding right under his nose was like a dream come true for Armorhide. He's enjoying working alongside Bumblebee, since his damaged vocal processor means the other Autobot can't complain about his methods. Armorhide doesn't care about stealth or safety. All he cares about is bringing Dirge crashing down.

Peaugh Reviews "Decepticon Bludgeon"...

2009-10-03T06:54:00.000-07:00

The long awaited Toy Review from the Master Of TF Toys; Peaugh reviews Decepticon Bludgeon.
Peaugh is back with a new review from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toy line. He has been taking a break from ROTF toys, instead reviewing Marvel MiniMates and Robots in Disguise, likely because the Revenge line has become a repaint fest. An exception to this is Voyager Bludgeon which hold a key plot element in the upcoming 3rd movie of the franchise. Based on the review, this toy is shaping up to be a solid addition to the line.

Transformers 3 to be Released in 2011

2009-10-02T13:07:00.000-07:00

Michael Bay has made a post on his forums this morning announcing that the third installment of Transformers: The Movie will be on July 1st, 2011. Bay also mentions that he will be flying out to Hasbro headquarters in Rhode Island to talk about new characters today, and also leaves a little message just for Megan Fox.

"Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.

Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I'm flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.

Michael"

I can't wait :-)
