Movie Chronicles
Transformers 3
We recently saw the UK release date for Transformers 2 moved to June 19th, to coincide with the June 15th première. Japan’s Revenge of the Fallen release date has also changed, it has been updated to June 20th, probably to coincide with the June 8th world première of the movie.
No update on the US release date which still sits on June 24th. And no word on the US première either yet.
TF08 have the skinny on more Transformers 2 toy exclusives, this time it’s Long Haul in his box:
Long Haul is too bitter to be an effective soldier on his own. Despite the fact that he is part of one of the most destructive and terrifying Decepticon squads of all time, he is often treated as little more then a cargo hauler. Other Decepticons sling their gear into his bed without a second thought, and order him to carry it around for them. Rather than confront them, he’d rather grumble about it privately, then stop on the way and destroy whatever he’s been given responsibility for.
GM are taking orders for a limited special edition 2010 ‘Bumblebee’ version of the Camaro from June 1st. Including the famous yellow with black stripes and Transformers badging on the wheels and plates and embroidered on the console lid. No pricing available yet.
The next MTV movie awards shall air on May 31st at 9pm/8pm CST, with Michael Bay and Megan Fox set to present. The award ceremony shall feature an exclusive Transformers Revenge of the Fallen clip that shall be presented by Megan Fox and then aired. It’ll probably turn up online shortly thereafter.
The Transformers 2 toy ads will begin doing their rounds very shortly, here is a video of one of them:
Michael Bay’s official site has posted some new CG shots, including our first look at Sideways (the Audi R8). The renders are slightly different to the ones seen previously, these are more likely to be from the video game:
Bay’s site have also posted new shots from the set of Transformers 2, showing Shia and Bay working together:
Here it comes, a mammoth Revenge of the Fallen updates to post — I apologize for the delay in posts, I’m away in Prague at the moment. Here we go, in chronological order:
The Blackout repaint is now named ‘Grindor’ and once again comes with Scorpinok:
GRINDOR is a born soldier. He is both a highly talented fighter, and an instinctive strategist. Every moment of a battle is laid out in his head before the first shot is even fired. He is so talented at anticipating his enemy’s moves that he is almost never surprised. Whenever he can, he ensures himself a place at the direct center of a fight so that he can bring his powerful weapons to bear on the AUTOBOTS around him, destroying as many as he can as quickly as possible.
Three new Transformers 2 TV Spots featuring Skids, Sideswipe, The Fallen, Jetfire and Devastator:
“It’s upgrade time”, Sideswipe looks great again.
The Fallen now teleports in amongst a group of autobots — Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Sideswipe.
Partial look at Jetfire transforming, thousands of little robots and part of Devastator’s transformation (Mixmaster), “BUMBLEBEE!”
