Your fellow Seibertronian rich prime has let us know that JSYK has posted an article titled "Behind the Scenes of the Extreme Stunt Action in 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'" which takes a look at the "birdmen" scenes we've seen in the previous trailers and TV spots.

Click here to check out the full article over on JSYK which features a behind the scenes video of the precision skydivers at work.

Director Michael Bay selected a group of precision skydivers to perform stunts in the film after seeing the extreme sportsmen on '60 Minutes' one night. The show featured footage of the skydivers jumping off mountains with the help of wingsuits, which allow the guys to essentially fly (don't worry, they have parachutes, too).

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Yehhh i'm actually really looking forward to this scene, i'm hoping they make good use of the 3D right here and make you feel like your right in there with the assault team.

@ 2:14 when the wing suits glide past building is that 2 shots into the building or one that rips clean through ? my playback was glitchy there but i think its one shot straight through or large projectile of some sort.

June is looking a rather long drawn out month :BANG_HEAD:
