Prime Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 And I'm almost afraid to ask, but, what does Megatron transform into?Ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 He transforms into ass? OMG. I thought Michael Bay was making some dubious choices, but this is beyond the pale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 couldn't find it. The clip's been pulled, unfortunately. But that's the problem with leaks like this. Anyhow, the "TV Spot" seems to have been an amalgamation of different footage and effects put together to gauge how the trailers should be paced, mood, atmosphere, etc. That would explain the shot of Prime talking. He's neither saying what the voice is saying (his movement of his mouth doesn't quite sync up to the words "My name is Optimus Prime") and there's no way in hell he could bend down that far to talk to Sam and Mikaela, unless he was as flexible as an ostrich. Basically, a shot of Sam and Mikaela looking at Optimus was combined with an unfinished shot of Prime's head talking with a different voice thrown over it. The voice, apparently, was also altered by the European divisions of the studios to make it deeper. As for Starscream's voice, rumor is that it's a fan voice actor who actually tried out for the movie but, supposedly didn't get a part in the film. Regardless of who it is, I rather like the clip. It sounds oily enough to be Starscream without being overly screeching and high pitched, which would kill any shred of serious deadliness the character's supposed to have.

Jan Gaarni Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Well, I'm still prolly gonna go see it, but I'm abit afraid I'm not going to fully enjoy it as I was hoping. Optimus will be pretty easy to recognise though, I'm happy about that. Jazz wasn't too hard to recognise either. Pretty slick, as Jazz is. Next I'd say possibly, maaaybe, Bumblebee, but I'm not sure. As for the others, if there wasn't a nametag on them, I'd never guess it in a million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Interesting that at the end of that featurette they use the original transformation sound twice. I wonder if that is in the film? My impression is that it wasn't... Michael Bay: "I only want to do this movie if I can make it dead real...believable. Not cartoony in any way." Have you even seen your own movies, Mike?

Heavyarms Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 This movie will be awesome. I will make a broad range of comments on what I've read through the thread. 1. Artistic style has changed dramatically since when it aired. The Transformers actually produce arms and legs out of the vehicles this time, meaning their designs in some cases (and looks) had to be modified in order to make them believable. For instance, Starscream would look dumb now as a red and blue F-15 now. A grey F-22 is more believable, but I do agree that they shouldn't have made him so bulky, but it lends to the believability that an aircraft's fuselage is that believable. It was probably make him stocky or make him tall. I'll take stocky over Godzilla height. 2. Hugo Weaving I like because he's going to be much more sinister where the old Megatron guy sounds like a raspy old man with a cane who is remotely dangerous. 3. The audience is much bigger, and needs more believability. Anyone heard the old fighting sounds? You hear them now and you shake your head. I'm really excited. I want to see Optimus Prime and Mega-dump go at it and Prime rip his head off and use it as a volleyball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorden Darkblade Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Didn't showed much... I saw a part of StarScream there though. Sound was very bad, anyone know of another one with a better sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Don't worry about the TV spot. Check this out: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/transformers.html The Final Theatrical Trailer (in no less than 3 high def resolutions). WARNING: They show A LOT. If you don't want any more visual spoilers before July 4th DO NOT download the trailer, see Shrek 3, Spider Man 3, or Pirates 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Is it just me, or does Jazz sound like a squeaker toy when he is getting thrown around by Starscream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsaberboy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I hear it too. poor dude's getting the life squeaked out of him as he's thrown around by Megatron, who's twice his size. but it's also heard at around 2:15 when Megatron transforms again, so it could be coming from him.

RoxStar Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm starting to get excited about this movie again. My head says I will be disappointed, but my heart says "Transform and roll out!!" I'm hoping that Shia LaBeouf isn't the Annoying ****head I believe him to be, and that Starscream will be the hardcore slimeball that I remember him being.

Lightsaberboy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Megatron?! Aw man I didn't noticed him... Could you guys say at which time he appear?? he's the one that looks like a bunch of jagged metal edges, kinda looks like Doomsday.he stomps on Jazz near the top of a building, also flings a whip-like weapon towards Shia, and jumps down on the ground and transforms again. I'm hoping that Shia LaBeouf isn't the Annoying ****head I believe him to be, and that Starscream will be the hardcore slimeball that I remember him being. Shia's not that bad of an actor. he's gotten quite a bit of range since his Disney days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavyarms Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Two of your links have had the videos removed (last 2). The trailers are awesome. Spielberg loves the movie. Saying he makes (pretty) good movies, I think it's gonna be great. BTW, love that part of the trailer where it says, "some will come to protect us" and you just see Optimus Prime pull up, and anyone who knows anything about American pop-culture knows Optimus is comin'. I just can't wait to see Optimus absolutely maul Mega-dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
