Is Megatron vomiting?

I'm glad someone pointed out that a lot of the SFX look unfinished because there were the odd moments were my trip into hyper-reality and the suspension of disbelief were broken...

Still can't wait.

Thanks. I like the notes you made.

I am also curious as to what that stuff is:

Watched it multiple times but I don't see anything but the factory, but I could be wrong

What I was seeing was a Blackhawk helicopter moving against the factory backdrop.

St. Even wrote:5) Optimus is hunting Starscream in what looks to be an abandoned factory (1:48). Starscream I looking for Prime, and Optimus is ninja-stealth while hanging from the ceiling. He then appears to get the drop on Screamer. This might be part of the kicking sequence.

It appears that it's just a ground shot looking up at Prime as he leaps out of hiding cause you can see the roof with the sky shining through the panels and the next image has Megs below Prime.

There are two compiled shots. One is Optimus falling and the other is Optimus hanging (like he did from the bridge in TF1) and then dropping down onto Starscream. I am not 100% on the bot being Starscream, but I think Starscream is the only Con with dual jet thrusters on the back.

St. Even wrote:6) Mark 1:50 has something really funky going on. Not sure what is happening other than it is an unknown bot that is getting blasted through the torso by some substantial firepower.

I see alot of redish or pink on this bot. Possibly one of the motorbikes getting wasted.

Great call. If the rumor of the three bikes merging is true this could be a glimps of their destruction.color]

St. Even wrote:15) Megatron is throwing some bot to the roof of a building (2:19).

It kinda looks like Jetfire slamming Megs. I'm pretty sure it's Megs getting slammed by somebot.

[color=blue]I am pretty sure it is Megatron doing the slamming. His feet are very unique. I too thought it could be Jetfire, but there is just not enough detail in the shot to make out the other bot. The colors on the bot in question and Megatron are too similar.

St. Even wrote:16) Scalpel is cracking a safe at 2:21.

I'm pretty sure thats Wheelie cause of all the blue

Good catch! Thank you.

St. Even wrote:17) Megatron, is firing his BFG, which I still think is Ravage, at mark 2:21.

Still not sure why several people have come to this conclusion. No part of the cannon resembles Ravages body. I looked at the CGI pics also.

I do not have any real proof. It is just a gut call.

Now. I'm just calling this a hunch. I'm not really really seeing anything to back this up but I think...Just think, mind you, that Megatron in tank form may just well be appearing in this movie.

But don't quote me on that.

Re- the Bumblebees messed up voice thing. Shia does say that hes exaggerating it or words to that affect. I think it is funny. The story of a boy going off to college and breaking up with his giant robot. Well, he's definitely going to be seeing other giant robots and having new and unique experiences that are going to shape his future.

That looks freaking epic. Ill be going to see this-un

And Jetfire definitely implied "Arse" if he didn't explicitly say it and an implied arse is just as good in my book.

and speaking of implied arse. Was anyone else pleasantly surprised when we cut away from the automated sulking machine that BB has become to Megan Fox taking her clothes off.

Ah... Implied arse. Its a beautiful thing.

Awesome! Anyone who can watch this without saying "Holy s***!" to themself has problems.

And to all the people who still believed Bay, I have two things to say to you: 1. Megatron is DEFINATELY back and it is DEFINATELY not a flashback. and 2. The word "gullable" is written on the ceiling.

by **Prime Riblet** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:08 pm

I am very excited about this movie at this point. The toy line be damned! The movie is still going to be freaking amazing!

by **St. Even** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:12 pm

Something else I just noticed . . . it looks like Bumblebee decapitates Rampage.

If you don't like it or don't want to watch it, that is completely your right. Noone is going to force you to watch it. It is totally up to you.

by **vaporretarder** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:56 pm

ummmm yea, ....ok that was pretty F-ing awesome,...and I wasn't completely impressed with the 2007 movie,...but THIS time around, it DOES show a LOT more promise....I just hope Bay isn't just showing the only good parts in this trailer and there is more left to see...

I know. It is just kinda silly. I try not to post negative stuff here, but sometimes it gets pretty tempting. Either way, this movie is going to be pretty exciting.

Oh, poor Bumblebee!! :cry:

Sam, you jerk!!

Seriously, why does he sound like he's irrated with BB? What'd he do?
Sam's the one making him feel bad.

He could have been nicer in explaining that BB couldn't come with him in Freshman year, and said he could come Sophomore year.

by **Cliff Jumper** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 11:05 pm

Looks promising.

The shot you are referring to at 1:48 is Prime jumping into the air, not hanging from something and then he's doing a cartwheel looking jump over Megs.

.

Also, the scene on the heli. pad on the roof, the tank treads do appear to belong to the robot being slammed if you look close enough, which would be Megs.

That video was solidified awesomeness. What was that shaking transformer at the construction site with it's insides blazing?

12 hours after watching video: I don't believe it, it's now a 'private' password-locked video at elitist site Vimeo, and the video at michaelbay.com's replaced with a montage of all his previous films. This sucks, I wanted to watch it another 30 times :-(
