That prison is also haunted, phoenixgirl. You might see an apparition standing behind Megatron in the final cut of the film.

Michael has a private jet?

For crying out loud, what's wrong with travelling third-class like the rest of us normal folk?!

Heh, neat plane.

Ah, for the good ol' days when he cried poverty because Bruckheimer had a plane and he didn't...

But really, it's not safe or convenient for people in his profession to travel commercially. Paparazzi will descend on airports like carnivorous seagulls and good LORD, have you ever flown through Miami? It is a NIGHTmare...

On topic, I was daydreaming about this at work this morning and I really, really, really hope that when they do the commentary for TF2 that Bay and Shia will do it together. As in, in the same room and all that. That would be awesome!

Oh yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to some great special features on its DVD release.

That would be so cool. Haunted Megatron.

[r-type]

Am I the only one who has listened to the audio commentary on the Transformers DVD??? I thought everyone on this board would know this already.

Michael Bay explains that 4500X, the tail number for Blackout, was inspired from his own private jet.

That plane is Michael Bay's private jet.

Some of us are tired of repeating ourselves.

Does anyone think that Chip Chase will be in tf2?

[megatron42]

ummm no

[darthrage]

Does anyone think that Chip Chase will be in tf2?

I'll only want Chip Chase to be in it if his Wheelchair transforms into a 12 speed BMX mountain bike and then Chip suddenly gains his ability to run or ride bicycles, rather.

New Mexico's Governor Bill Richardson has announced that Transformers II will return to the state to film for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

The production has been prepping in Alamogordo, New Mexico since April. Its also a city that is located near Holloman Air Force Base and the White Sands Missile Range which were used as Qatar in the first film. Qatar was the location of the Blackout attack in the beginning of the film and the Scorponok attack sequence. Could this be verification that Scorponok will return?

a little bit of an update from Transformers Live

there is worse things you can do with money.... like be a politician.

oh, and by the way when arnold Sworsinhoweveryouspellit was in that Batman movie, he panted his whole jet in a Batman theme. If this is Bays jet, its actually one of the smaller celebrity jets I have seen.

Media Thread? what the heck is that supposed to mean?

As said in the very first post, it's too prevent the TF2 forum from becoming a clusterfuck with the millions of threads that people will post.

Keep it organized.

sometimes I still wonder if it's a clusterfuck. nothing meant towards anyone but I've seen a few threads that were of content already being discussed in here. thankfully a lot of the stuff that's been said outside of this thread has been getting moved into this one

found this through a tfw2005 link. The article is below it has a couple of pictures at the article itself but none really spectacular or haven't seen already. No idea how accurate this site is really.





Nothing like kicking the last Transformers 2 update off the front page by adding another Transformers 2 update, right? Come on, everyone wants to know everything about Transformers, right? Right?!?
Production watch continues today with Revenge of the Fallen moving back to PA to film at Eastern State Penitentiary, the University of Pennsylvania and PECO Power Plant. If you are a member of a “experienced” string quartet, you could get closer than anyone else by getting cast! [heerycasting]
Seen on set: 2 new transformers (pictured above).
The concept car is a Chevrolet Beat, unveiled at April’s New York Auto show and has been spotted on set. New transformer or classic with a new skin; still to be revealed (and debated, no doubt).
The blurry photo of a remote control car is supposed to be Wheels, according to /Film. According to the Transformers Wiki, though, Wheels is actually Neo-Wheel a member of the Micromaster family, or transformers that scaled themselves down in size to be more fuel efficient. Neo-Wheel is usually found with the Turbo Team which includes 5 other Micromasters who come together to form the six-part Sixturbo.
This seems to be consistent with other reports of multiple robots becoming one altmode (see The Twins) or multiple altmode vehicles becoming one robot (Arcee). Many becoming one or one becoming many seems to be the major difference between the transformers of the first film and the robots in Revenge of the Fallen.
Arcee was supposed to be part of the first live-action film’s cast, but ran into some size problems, according to this concept art:

[phoenixgirl]

I understand two robots or more mergeing into one big robot or altmode. But having Arcee split into three separate altmodes does not make sense. Nothing like that ever happened in the series and for good reson. If one of those altmodes became separated from the others or was destroyed, she would be stuck as a couple of bikes unable to return to her bipedal mode. It wold be better if her altmode was a single vehicle.

Also, wouldn't sepration from her spark result in the altmodes being dead heaps of metal?

that was kind of my thoughts as well which is why I say not sure how reliable that site is on their information. Although the factor that there is multiple biker girls all dressed the same does kind of play into that role. Of course didn't Arcee travel in a group? Not entirely sure on that but it would kind of also maintain that...aside from the factor of all of them forming together to make her. Main thing I found interesting was the section about Wheels.

[megatron42]

she should be a harley

[xana]

she should be a harley

I thought she was supposed to be a Buell Firebolt :\

thats what it had in her concept art anyway. xP

It is going to be big! Think about it, Alamogordo, First atomic bomb test was done there, could it be that the Trinity Site is somehow involved in the film??? I guess we'll have to wait and see in the fall.

Transformers Live has better info about it I think. Here's part of what they had posted yesterday

Its also a city that is located near Holloman Air Force Base and the White Sands Missile Range which were used as Qatar in the first film. Qatar was the location of the Blackout attack in the beginning of the film and the Scorponok attack sequence. Could this be verification that Scorponok will return?
