I never knew that Micheal J. Fox was their "model" on which to create Bumblebee's facial expressions! That is 13 kinds of Awesomesauce.

And I like how they said the longest Transformation was Blackout's first, at a whopping 300 frames. Thats only 6 seconds!

"It was also a large touch that Bay decided that the robots have eyes that show a lot of emotion. The most up-close robot for the movie was Bumblebee, and to create his facial expressions, the ILM animators used Michael J. Fox’s work in Back to the Future as reference. Bay has said that Fox’s character is the closest personality to what Bumblebee’s character is modeled after."

wow this is "heavy," Doc...
