After some recent internet speculation that Transformers 3 is not being shot in 3D which included rumors on the forum of Michael Bay's own site ShootfortheEdit.com, Bay has posted the following heated responsed:

"Who is this moron posting about what I'm shooting with??? People have no idea how hard we have worked to bring 3D filming into live action shooting. We have invented rigs and systems to place 3d cameras like no other live action movie has done before. The proof will be noticed on the final product.

Michael"

A previous post from site admin Nelson that shows one of the Sony 3D cameras being used while shooting the movie was also added in response to the thread.



Transformers 3 is scheduled to be released July 1, 2011.

In the West Transformers: Prime may be grabbing all the attention but in Japan the fires of Animated are still burning strong. The latest release is the Microbotsset, six tiny rubber figures representing Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Grimlock, Starscream and Blackarachnia. The figures are available from gachapon machines for 100 yen each. Seibertron member Diem got his hands on a couple of the little guys and shares his thoughts with us:








Each figure has articulation in their shoulders and neck and accesories such as Starscream's wings can also be rotated, though the rubber is so stretchy that the joints are not very useful. Although they're not very posable they're incredibly cute and considering their low price (less than a dollar) they are very well painted.
