MTV for going the extra mile, and to Cullen for being the kickass nice guy he is and recording that bit.
It also proves one thing, the voice we heard in the leaked commercial where you first see Prime's "lips" was, in fact, Cullen's.
It was a little weird to hear the deeper voice at first, but after repeated viewings, he sounds fantastic.

Haven't all the TFs been able to do that? At least that's what I thought, they had no limitations.
As far as the clips, OMFG! Simply amazing. Anyone else catch Bonecrusher saying "Comin' Through" before he ripped into the bus? His voice sounds great, wonder who's the VA.

Spoon wrote:What still bugs me after seeing this footage is how the Transformers keep getting adressed as "robots". Anonymous alien robots that happen to have a line of speech at some point. The old transformers used to draw me in because they all had a personality and the focus was mostly on the Transformers themselves. Every single clip i've seen so far didn't once say to me "This feels like the good old transformers." but instead it's "Action movie with ugly designed morphing robots!"
Hiding behind bushes and a house clearly too snall doesn't show personality?!

I saw the clip of Prime speaking to that chick, and the clip of prime vs bonecrusher, i got goosebumps and did a Homer Simpson style drolling sound when i saw those. But i wanna see the whole MTV spoof too!
Cullen sounds awesome!
And the lips, the facial expressions, everything is just perfect! Anyone who ever doubted this movie and the way they look is really eating their words now!
Oh and BBee giving the thumbs up to Shia and then Shia shooshing him away was fantastic!

I always though moving lips on a robot made no sense. I mean, what kind of freaking metal would be liquid enough to move, while at the same time not falling off of the robot's face?
Okay, I sm overthinking it.
But I thought the same thing when I was little.
Oh yeah, and I love Sarah Silverman's...erm, "tail".
She is one fine woman...with a sense of humor!
This movie will OWN the summer!!!

Oh, and as for the personalities of the 'bots being in evidence, who can deny it, after having watched all of the spots and trailers? I think that the reason the humans have featured more prominantly in these is that they are trying not to spoil the film for us by getting us used to the new TFs beforehand. I can appreciate that.

How do you guys view these things? I'm in germany and it seems to be working for me. If you haven't tried using Firefox, you might want to give it a go. I used that when watching the spoof and it was fine, no country specific rights whatever. Although I wasn't using a proxy, maybe that will help too.
Oh, and maybe change the thread title, "fottage" sounds like a word in a language I haven't heard yet (this coming from a 2+ language guy)

I only ever use firefox, and it still doesnt work. And i made a typo, it actually says they cant show the footage outside of the US, not UK.
Whats a proxy?

Proxies, or an anonymous proxy connects you to a server and in turn the server connects to the website you are going to. In this way it is possible to view US only content from anywhere in the world. Firefox has a "Switch Proxy" addon that you can find on their "extensions" link. I prefer to use a US anonymous proxy from samair (google "proxy list") with a ip with a port 80 connection, example like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80. try it out, it usually works for me. (strange though I can view the content without a proxy)

Perhaps they blink into order to refresh the optics. It's like haveing to refesh a webpage to get the most current form.

Plus who is to say that their eyes do not need lubricating like ours do? They might need some sort of lubricated hydrolic fluid in order to keep their optics from ceasing up or grinding against their eye sockets. Blinking may re-lubricate their eyes to keep them fucntioning properly, plus like chris said it can be like refreshing an imagine, changing focus, color correction and it just adds a bit of emotion to the character.

But that is done much faster than the human eye can detct.
Surley alien robots from an advanced civilization possess more advanced optics than an '82 Radio Shack PC monitor?

Well prime is millenia old, so I'd say the 82 radio shack monitor is newer and more current. Thats my line and I'm sticking to it.

I guess you know something about web browsers and computers so maybe you can help me. I cant get any of these videos to run smooth. There all choppy. Is there a way to fix this or does my modem suck. Im useing firefox as my browser.

What the hell are you talking about?! The Transformers scanning any vehicle and turning into them was how they all become what they are now in the first place.
Hurt the mythos? you must be on crack or something.

I suggest you try using Internet Explorer. IE handled flash intensive tasks better than FireFox in my opinion. Sites like chevyautobot.com, transformersgame.com and even the transformersmovie.com is great with IE, no lag. For some reason Firefox probably uses up too much memory or resources, the latest site that lagged, autobotsrollout.com played the video in a very choppy way.
And flash video too seems better than Firefox. I guess Firefox is better with faster CPU and more Ram (I have a 1.6 ghz and 734mb ram)

I seems out of place, because the voice isn't nearly as deep as the rest of the noises, but that may be because it's right before the slow motion part. Anyway, I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, so I figured it was worth bringing up.
If I may say so, I think this is a CAM rip, ie recorded with a camcorder, or while viewing I think someone forgot to turn off their mic
And yeah, it's very hard not to notice, I had to make sure the nearby car passengers weren't the ones laughing lol

OF COURSE CULLEN WAS PAID FOR IT! HE'S A PROFESSIONAL! WTF?!
That being said...(still with me?) he could've turned them down. He wouldn't have had to record a single line for a "piddling little" awards show. Many other stars have turned their back on something like this, so my point is still valid. Peter Cullen is a kick ass guy for doing this.

I dont wanna get involved with that flame war...but i justw ant to point out that peter cullen isnt a "star". Anyone outside of the TF fandom and winnie the shit wouldnt have heard of him.
This is probably the biggest break he has ever had, i would have thought he would have been more than willing to do a couple of piddly lines for an awards show for some money, the dudes gotta eat too ya know.

Perhaps you are unaware that this link, I believe, was already posted. Yes it was, it's the reason why I seen the whole spoof already without clicking your link. Where is your link anyways...wait, you do actually care that no one cared about your link? Wow I seen alot of strange things on the net but....lol...
And no, sorry, no hugs. I give hugs to those who don't ask for it, so....
