    Default Little things I've noticed.

    Three small things I've noticed.

    1. The logo on bumblebee seems to be blacked out? I heard a story of GM not spending much money on the film, would this be why?

    2. When all the decepticons come down, there is a shot of them all walking, with a truck in the middle. It looks very much like bone crusher, but he was killed, right?

    3. Half way through the end battle, where does Scorponok come from?

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Yes they did not spend to much money..but the bowtie as it is for the Z28 Bumblebee was not blacked out it was just red outlined.
    Its there just looks a lot better than that gold one used in the first movie.

    It cleans up the front end. Makes it look more bad ass. and many cars past and present used that same style of emblem. my 94 Z had the same in the lower grill.

    Scorponok comes out of nowhere with no explanation. He's just been lying around chilling the whole time.

    That one bot looks like Bonecrusher but it's not him. It's just another bot that looks the same. They got lazy in this one.

    One of the reasons this movie is too much like G1. Generics are a defining aspect of the show, and randomly appear on and off.

    Dude! I did, I've watched it 100's of times. He goes away in the first film, in Qatar, then appears in Egypt. What?

    I just want to know why he was suddenly put back in, cheap way of killing Jetfire?

    Yeah it definately was a cheap way of killing Jetfire I reckon, maybe should have left Scorponok out and possibly had another minion of Soundwaves instead? and it could have played out like the Decepticons find out about Jetfires defection and they try to eliminate him among their other goals? then have Soundwave send out a minion to do the bidding?

    Another Decepticon could've scanned the same kind of vehicle tho.

    I miss the old Camero logo...

    I would imagine GM couldn't give as much to this film as before... Hah! It'd be funny if that's a small part of what got them into the mess they're in! Well, not funny... but most people know GM, so I can't imagine the majority of people will buy a car b/c they see it in a movie... will they? Well... maybe I guess...

    Who's to say it was a copy of Bonecrusher, a Deciepticon or even another robot? It could of been just a random military vehicle caught up in the middle of the battle.

    camAro...and you mean the red white and blue one? yea would be nice on this car..

    and no GM's mess is a little of a few things..I wont get into it here..and leave it at that..

    As far as GM selling a few more cars..one reason why GM was not a huge a marketing machine as it was in the first movie..Most of GM's stuff is concept or a year or two off in TF2..the Camaro being the only thing you can actually buy now at any Chevy dealer..the Topkick good luck..and the Solstice is gone as of this next month if your still thinking TF1...
    Funny thing is the traffic generated by TF2 DID bring more people to GM sites..Mostly Camaro sites..and the added TF edition is a plus..and on top of that the Camaro outsold the Mustang for the first time since 1993..thats saying something..

    not only did the movie help..as we all know it did..but it made it one of GM and the auto industries top seller for this quarter....and should do very well considering the climate of the auto industry were in..

    Don't you think that in 2 years, an alien robot with the ability/resources to travel beyond our solar system, can make its way from Qatar to Egypt?

    I do agree that Jetfire was killed cheaply as well as Scorponok too.

    I do think this was ment to be Bonecrusher and if not then the writers did get cheap on this and not do their homework as in any true military situation as with what happend, there would not be a random Buffalo mind sweeper vehicle driving around in an all out firefight like that. And it was clearly not with the humans.

    i noticed the Autobot emblem on the parachutes which Optimus gets dropped from carrier ship in his very first scene of the movie

    Ironhid drops his canons' when he's running toward the camera in Egypt when the F22's bomb the lil' village

    after 3 viewings, i realized that ''Robo-Warrior'' is actually Simmons :lol

    there is actually some robot blood in the forest scene. Notibaly when the first IMAX shot apears and its a side shot of Optimus and Megatron, and Megatron punches OP in the face, something red (blood?) gets sprayed into the air a lil, then OP turns arround only to get tackled to the ground by Megz.

    This is becoming interesting. I noticed the logo on the parachutes on my 3rd viewing as well.

    I don't know if I should post this on this thread. If it's not, then I am sorry. I just want you to know that I also noticed that no decepticon's theme was played as a background soundtrack in the entire scenes. As for the autobots, at least it was played twice (forest battle and optimus's combining with jetfire's part).

    What was the song the Twins were playing in their ice cream truck form? I read somewhere that it was actually the Transformers theme song. Is this true or am I just delusional?

    Or just think your audience are idiots that would not care as long as the next ass shot of Megan is there or the next bright explosion..

    sorry not pretending on this one..they have the money and time to do whatever they needed to do to make them other than exact duplicates of the cons that formed Devistator...

    Whoa! I can't believe I did that! Better get it back from the autobody shop before I start thinking it's a Dodge or something...

    But yeah, this one with bars, tho for some reason, the only picture I seem to have was on a cloudy day, so it's hard to see... maybe they're black...


    and no GM's mess is a little of a few things..I wont get into it here..and leave it at that..
    True, it was no one thing, nor a simple situation.

    As far as GM selling a few more cars..one reason why GM was not a huge a marketing machine as it was in the first movie..Most of GM's stuff is concept or a year or two off in TF2..
    That is very true... sometimes I forget- movies take time to be made!

    the Camaro being the only thing you can actually buy now at any Chevy dealer..the Topkick good luck..and the Solstice is gone as of this next month if your still thinking TF1...
    This is OT, but ... I went looking for pics of the Solstice my neighbour had, and almost didn't find them because I thought the car was silver because of TF... unlike the blue colour hers is that I'd seen for years.

    Funny thing is the traffic generated by TF2 DID bring more people to GM sites..Mostly Camaro sites..and the added TF edition is a plus..and on top of that the Camaro outsold the Mustang for the first time since 1993..thats saying something..
    Outstanding!!!!!!

    not only did the movie help..as we all know it did..but it made it one of GM and the auto industries top seller for this quarter....and should do very well considering the climate of the auto industry were in..
    Really? Good. I was also wondering because around here I've seen a million Dodge Chargers (must've had a sale), a ton of Mustangs, but only one new Camero so far. A few older ones, but only the black new one... so far.

    Did you notice the room back at Nest when Galloway and Optimus Prime were having their debate, when the camera pans in on Ironhide, the Arcee triplets, Ratchet and Sideswipe in the Earth mode, they appear in a room similar to a room used in the training of the drilling team in Armageddon?

    Yeah, I noticed that. The 'spiky' floor gave it away; otherwise, it could've been just any hangar.
