WTF they get the movie before us and now this, if I was in the U.K. I'd really be pissed.

I posted the competition in a few forums and I'm giving away the tickets. Sorry that it's Sydney only.

Good luck

I mean for starters the credit for the news is Trunksy (who I trust) but also some site called palgn.com which seems to be a place holder site.
And then there's this ...

So you'll forgive me for being a bit skeptical about having to e-mail my personal details. I just think a legit contest like this (I mean it is Bay after all) would have a dedicated website where you enter and submit your details.

Hi Burn,
Yes this is a totally legit contest for a Special Screening Event of the Full-Length Feature Film of Transformers.
I usually run tickets for events such as this on a few forums across the web - however, when I started getting competition entries from other forums I decided to find out some more by checking them out.
Here's one I ran in Atomic for the 22min preview of Transformers
http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp? ... 104384&p=0
And this:

Just drop me an email if you have any questions at the transformers@networkpr.com.au address

Yeah its legit Burn, its also hit the mainstream:
http://hoyts.ninemsn.com.au/competitions/intro695.asp
Im not entering, for fear of the repercussions of repeatedly punching and/or strangling Michael Bay, on sight, in retaliation for the mental and physical anguish I went through while watching Pearl Harbour and Bad Boys II.

Considering pretty much every other contest regarding the movie and Hasbro is open only to Americans, not to mention can't even have stuff shipped to Australia from HasbroToyShop, I'd say it's about damn time we got something.
Couldn't even submit a line for Optimus to say........razza frazza............stupid customs.......fragga...........*COUGH
So in other words, I don't want to here any whining
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'm all for driving to Sydney. 10 hours is nothing if I get to see that film early. Therefore, I entered.

Some one from one of these preview screenings better record it and put it on some download site. I cant wait any more! And if i do see it on bootleg ill go see it in the theaters to. Even if it sucks i want to see giant frakin robots on the big screen.

More than likely have a sex change operation.

There will be no filming at the event.
At the 22-min preview night-vision cameras were used to check that no one was recording.
And come on, would you really want to watch a copy rather than on the big screen? nah!

I'm sure the day will come when i'll log in to find a news story "Leonardo! No longer a disgruntled Brit! Now praises Hasbro"
Though I suspect I might also die of old age before that happens.

I just said something similar to Sharky (from TAAU) and he's voting for a dispensing of beatings if we turn up and it's all a hoax.

I just spoke on the phone with Scott Rhodes. It's legit. If not, then definitely laying a smackdown Sorting out my travel plans now. I could drive, but I drove to Sydney last time I went and it's at least 11 hours from my place. Also lining up on where to stay. My now ex-girlfriend's brother manages a 4 star hotel in the city. Cheap rates, hahahahah
Burn, PM me your contact details mate. First ever Australian Seibertron.com meeting indeed.
On a second note, is this newsworthy?
Posted by Gutsman Heavy on June 7th, 2007 @ 4:48am CDT
I'm so freaking excited!!!!
Posted by Burn on June 7th, 2007 @ 5:28am CDT
I still gotta travel further than you!
Posted by Phelan on June 7th, 2007 @ 6:56am CDT
And yes it's legit.
I'll be the guy on Tuesday night in the Red Autobot t-Shirt...with a Scottish accent giving you your ticket.
Hard to miss!!
Now excuse me. I'm going back to my beer.

Don't mind us. We're just a bunch of fans who never thought we'd ever have a chance at something like this. So it is a little hard to believe it all.
I'll be the one who has no idea what he's going to be wearing (seeing as i'm still waiting for my "I blame Burn" shirt) because he has to go shopping this weekend to buy clothes to handle the southern temperatures.
Yes, a chance to see Transformers nearly 2 weeks before everyone else and i'm leaving my tropical winter to do it. How's that for dedication?

You might have better luck getting Bay to cast you as a voice actor.

What if there is more...
What if I told you something...no, I can't.
I'll leave it till the morning. Just a little something for those who didn't win but who live in Sydney.
Gimme 10 hours - till 9am when I get into work.

One question for ya Phelan, the whole camera/mobile phone thing. If we bring them and surrender them they'll be secured and we can pick them up later for any photo opportunities with any special guests?
