If you want more live action Transformers after watching Dark Of The Moon, maybe a trip to Singapore might be in order. The Official Blog of Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle gives us a sneak peek at this coming attraction. It is schedule to open December 2011 at Universal Studios Singapore. Check out the sneak peek video below.

Join us as a recruit of N.E.S.T (Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty), the alliance between the humans and the AUTOBOTS, as you prepare to defend Earth against the DECEPTICONS, thwarting their attempt to steal the AllSpark shard.

So what is TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle all about? Well for starters, the 4-minute hyper-realistic ride will have you racing through the city as you zip through subway tunnels, down city streets and across rooftops with EVAC – your escape vehicle and member of the AUTOBOTS – as you are chased by DECEPTICONS.

The fate of Planet Earth is in your hands.

it probably will be eventually.

they cleared out the outdated backdraft attraction to make it over here, so im sure theres something they could trim.

I didn't even know Singapore HAD a Universal Studios. Also, I agree, this needs to be at the one in Florida.

I spotted Bumblebee, Evac, DotM Megatron (he has the head injury) and... Soundwave, was it?

It was his best friend, Sideways! (Also my namesake!)

I hope it will be in the Universal Florida soon...

And I saw a pic from an earlier news post for this too. Blackout/Grindor is in it too.
Wonder what other bots there will be?
It looks like YOU ARE EVAC though.
Maybe we ride around in evac's vehicle mode as the cars?
WOW

I sometimes wonder if people actually read comments before posting.

I just know, if they're having this ride at the Hollywood location; I am ditching Comic-Con one day just to go to this!

I live in Florida, and one thing I do know is that this WILL come to Universal Florida.
It might take a year or so to come here though, just like it took Jurassic Park about a year to come here after Universal Hollywood got it. Or When "Soaring" came from Disney's California Adventure to EPCOT, which took almost 2 years I think. These are just reference points though, for all we know, they already shut down The Simpsons Ride (which I refuse to go on due to Back to the Future the Ride being my favorite ride they killed), which is their second dumbest move since getting rid of the Ghostbusters Exhibit they had, my favorite part of the original Universal. It would also be their smartest move after getting rid of such a classic. I also will admit, I haven't been to Universal since about 8 months after Men in Black opened (and found out the elevator doesn't really move, just floor vibrations, it was fun though). Which is also when BttF was still running. Or, since Disney owns Marvel now, it may go where Spider-Man is now (joking).

Aww, why don't they ever make these things into Europe as well?

I'm thinking when I go to Comic-Con next summer, I'm going to swing by Hollywood for a day or two just to go to Universal Studios to ride this ride (that's if and when, they have it built in CA). Otherwise, I will have to wait for it to come to Flordia ;_;

The death of the BttF ride was sad, but that thing was really, really showing its age.
