Oh I'm a freak trying to blend in too, in fact you could say I'm in disguise...

Oh yeah thats awesome! Ive been thinking of getting one myself, but i dont think im that committed to TFs just yet hehe. Well done though! You gonna get a Decepticon on the other arm?

Best place to have a symbol would be on your chest i think.

[TankStrike]

Yeah, I'm gonna have some tech pattern coming off the autobot insignia and build the left arm up first, already have a tribal on the other.

I'll have a decepticon insignia if they make a sequel! ha ha

How much did it cost, and i bet it hurt?

[Sunstar]

a bit too much blood there, or probably red ink... I got the con symbol in 2004

there's the camera car in the reflection of the window, there should be nothing but convertible in that reflection, instead it looks like a van...

ok, ok, i'm erally anal over these things, but I never once whinged about 'flames on optimus'! haha

Thats not a camera van. No self-respecting film maker would use a bright yellow vehicle to use as a camera dolly.

I just went over it frame by frame, and as the green car pulls into the lot, in the reflection of the passenger side you cans ee a yellow Ferrarri turning, this is the same car that you see in the reflection of the window as the green car passes by.

Infact i dont know how they have filmed this. I am really eagle eyed when it comes to these types of mistakes in movies, i know what to look for and i cant see any type of camera mounts or camera operators or dollys of any kind in the reflection.

Maybe Bay knew thered be a reflection (like any good director should notice such small details) and had them digitally removed?

If so, my hat goes off to you Bay! If not, then what kinda camera did they use to film that shot?! Must be some kinda new "invisible" prototype or something, since there is no kind of traditional camera vehicle reflected in those windows!

Maybe Mirage was on the film crew and he used his hologram power?

Just in case. Bay uses a black Porsche Cayanne as his camera car.

[Sonray]

A porsche huh? I thought it was somethig like that, looks more like a gmc type of car though.


Anyway im watching the first eps of G1 tf's, and i just noticed some similarities between it and the trailer. First one being Spikes first introduction with Optimus prime. Prime bent down onto his knees to speak to spike just like he does in the movie.

In the next scene spike is writing in his diary and says "they are a **highly advanced form of robot**" Much like "Its a robot, highly advanced...probably japanese" except obviously, without the japanese joke in there. I think there is indeed more than meets the eye when it comes to this new movie of ours...

[Sonray]

Oh, not to mention the holographic humans, just like prowl had in his alt mode.

[i_amtrunks]

It amuses me that the first 30 seconds of the trailer give the impression that the movie is going to be a Herbie wannabe, then escalates into Transformers.
The explosions seem th be reined in and not as "over the top fake" as they are in other Bay films (like Bad Boys II).

Hating the way Starscream moves, it is jerky and un-natural, almost like they were trying to imitate the way a monkey moves in arc's but couldnt pull it off.

Is any one else sick of the spooge jokes? Seriously, if you like it fine, but don't fill my head with images of you doing something nasty.

[Sunstar]

What in primus name is a spooge joke?

[Mechanurgist]

Wow, that looks like fun. I'm almost convinced that this will be good. It's got great atmosphere and momentum.

Now, could someone tell me why there's a squeeze-toy sound when Jazz gets stepped on by Megatron? Placeholder or a technician's joke? And why everyone is always screaming "No, No, No!" in this movie?

Also, lol at soldiers going into battle in berets.

[ScorpoMax]

holy, Bee was getting shot at by soldiers, maybe a little onscreen reference to his Marvel G1 transformation to Goldbug as in, getting his 07 Camaro form?

I was thinking the same thing. Sorry if this was already mentioned as I didn't have time to go through all 28 of the pages that are already up here but, speaking of classic sound effects, did anyone recognize that "clanging" sound that Prime and Bonecrusher made when they started fighting at the end of the trailer?

Someone said it sounded like a bullet ricochet.

Porsche owns about 30 percent of VW as a kind of protection for VW.

Not true, VW owns Porsche in its entirety.

Porsche is pretty much an independent entity. They are not own by VW. However, they did made a bid to buy VW's shares.... i'm not really sure how it all turned out, but from what i read (cant remember where), VW denied the offer.

Porsche has the industry's best profit margin in comparison to other automotive companies.

It IS a bullet ricochet, and the fact that it happens just after megs stomps on him does nothing but confirm this.

Someone on another board said it's the sound metal tubes makes when they hit conctrete and shear open, like on a construction site. Perhaps its got something to do with that?

i dont know why the fact that it happens just after megatron stomps on jazz is evidence for it being a bullet richochet. maybe you could elaborate...

however the same sound appears when megatron is doing the frontflip transform; so maybe it is megatron making the sound
whatever it is, it's weird
and i dont think i like it

lol...you cant be serious that just baffles the mind, were they using orange nerf bullets....they dont even use real guns at this point of the movie its all hybrid launchers and ****....im not even going into how and where they would take a shot like that in the very spot when he slams jazz down out of the blue.


didnt you also say you went frame by frame and there was no camera rig/black suv in the window...even though it is clear as day and more prodominent then the little green car.

your investigative powers kind of remind me of columbo...lol

Porsche CREATED VW. A history lesson would point out that Adolf Hitler had Porsche create Volkswagon (translated to something like, people's car), and then had them build their first model of car intended to be affordable enough for the average citizen. Hitler didn't like the aesthetics of the car and redesigned much of itself. The result? The original VW Beetle.

A joke that relates to the discharge from male genitalia.

If you had continued to read my posts you would have seen that i indeed did see the camera rig, and confirmed that it is a black SUV and not a yellow sports car that someone originally said was the camera rig. There is a reflection of a yellow sports car, but that isnt the rig.

And if it isnt a ricochet, which is what it sounds like, but if it isnt i can safely say that it isnt the sound of a squeaky toy, nor does the sound even occour when megatron stomps on jazz, but slightly after.

Bay isnt dumb, and he wouldnt allow such a sound to exsist in his film for comedic purposes, not after all the effort he's gone through to make the film mor realistic.

Bottom line is, Jazz isnt making the sound of a squeaky toy, so get over it!

It is either a bullet ricochet, a piece of debris ricocheting off of something, or the sound of somethign bending, or it is indeed the sound megatron makes.

This whole stupid squeaky toy jazz thing is idiotic.

WTF is a spooge joke? And when did male semen ever come into the conversation? More importantly when the deuce was it turned into a TF related joke???

Reread your first 2 questions and you will answer the question about "what is a spooge joke". as far a being transformers related or where the connection came from I have no clue.
