Transformers: The Movie 2007

This evening in New York City Paramount, Michael bay,
Dreamworks and Hasbro provided the press an extended preview
of the Transformers Movie. They showed 4 clips from the movie and discussed the genesis of the idea for the film and how Michael Bay came to be the Director of the movie. ENewsI was on hand with an exclusive report. Read More ...

Blackout at the military base
Extended clip showing Deception helicopter Blackout at the military base. The clip shows the Decepticon attacking the military so that he can break into military computers to get more information on the humans. The classic transforming sound is used in the film when Blackout transforms. This scene is very action oriented with the U.S. being taken by surprise and the desert outpost destroyed.

Sam Witwicky gets his first car
After Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) gets his first car which turns out to be a 70s yellow Camaro. He goes looking for trouble with his friend. After confronting a football jock, he soon has an opportunity to make contact with the hot Mikaela (Megan Fox). Still not aware his new car is an alien robot, Sam is mysteriously aided by his car when it plays sappy music on the radio and then breaks down at what might be described as a make-out spot. The bumblebee air freshener on the mirror and the glitter ball are a nice touch.

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Sam and Mikaela
Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), Bumblebee and Ironhide along with Sam and Mikaela are on a journey to Sam's house to try and find some object Sam has. This scene is pretty funny as Sam tries to hide the from his dad that he's hanging out with 3 huge robots. Prime nearly steps on a dog who later shows is displeasure by urinating on Irongide who mutters something about lubricants on his foot. Prime speaks in this clip. Cullen's voice sounds good. The Robots are very well animated and look very life-like. Later some government organization who are on the trail of giant robots come to the Witwicky home.

Extended Desert Scene
An Extended Desert Scene was shown of the troops encounter with Scorponok. Having to borrow a cell phone from a bystander so they can call the pentagon while fighting Scoponok, Captain Lennox encounters a not so helpful phone operator who requires a credit card number for a collect call before he will put the call through. Eventually, Lennox makes contact with the Pentagon who send air re-enforcements to help send Scoponok back under ground. This gives the folks at the Pentgon their first look at the robots.

The scenes shown definitely had the feel of a Michael Bay movie with a nice mixture of action, explosions and humor. The special effects were also quite good. If the overall story plot is as good as the action and special effects we saw, then this may be one blockbuster movie that old and new Transformers fans alike will enjoy.

Optimus keeps mouth and shield
2 Thumbs Down - One of the last final changes regarding the robot designs has officially been stated as being true: Optimus Prime will indeed retain his mouth/lips during non-battle scenes. Many fans will take this as one more slap in the face as Hollywood continues to ignore the design elements of these characters that made them so iconic for the past 23 years. I have one question for you ILM and Michael Bay: would you give Spider-Man a bright yellow outfit instead of his traditional reds and blues?

Attack of the 80's: The old-school cartoon-toyline gets a massive upgrade in this tale of killer robots sent to Earth to fight each other-and the cast of human harbodies who are simply trying not to get squished.
What's Gay About It: "There is a lot in Transformers for the gay audience besides Josh Duhamel and Tyrese," says producer Tom DeSanto, adding, "Every Transformers fan knows that Starscream is the gay transformer."

ComingSoon.Net is reporting that "Transformers" will be hitting nation-wide release a day earlier than originally planned. ComingSoon seems to hint that the reason for Paramount and Dreamworks Studios' action is due to the fact that Warner Bros. recently moved up the latest installment in the Harry Potter series "Harry Pottery and the Order of the Phoenix" two days earlier from July 13th to July 11th. This is also a follow-on to Director Michael Bay's comment that he wished the movie would come out a day early. We will keep you appraised of future developments. Thanks to "Heat Guy" of our TFans board for the news.
