You don't actually believe that Infernocus would ever be some deep memorable character right?

He/They exist for the same reason Stormtroopers and other grunts exist and not ever complains about them.

Mark Ryan - WWI Tank (Interesting they don't say a name)

The following interview did call out the whole OP-turn-to-the-dark-side arc a "typical Hollywood ****" though.

And not a single scorch mark to be found on the floor that Optimus shot.

+++ #Transformers benötigen ein Update +++
Da haben #Bumblebee und #Barricade die Rechnung wohl ohne unsere stahlharten Kolleginnen und Kollegen gemacht als sie sich gestern durch Charlottenburg bewegten. Beide stolperten gegen 12 Uhr auf der Bismarckstr. in Charlottenburg in eine Verkehrskontrolle unserer Abschnitte 24 und 25.
Da es auf dem Planeten #Cybertron sicher keine StVZO gibt, hatten beide ordentlich Ärger im Gepäck.
Wen wundert es da, dass sowohl der „Autobot“ als auch der „Decepticon“ bauliche Veränderung hatten, die liegen ihnen ja quasi in der Getriebeflüssigkeit. Die Liste war lang, neben Fahrwerk, Reifen und Beleuchtung schienen auch beide Auspuffanlagen eindeutig starke Mängel zu haben. Zudem hatte #Barricade eine „Verletzung“ an der hinteren Achse. Wie es zu dem gefählichen Ölverlust kam, wollte er uns nicht sagen. Aber den Verdacht auf ein „Optimus Crime“ gab es nicht.
Mit Hilfe unserer Abschleppticons haben wir beide zum Planeten „Dekra“ gebracht. Hier gesellen sie sich zu ihren anderen Stahlkumpels und warten auf ein irdisches Gutachten. Die Prüfanstalt ist zwar nicht Cybertron aber dafür sind sie dort die einzigen ihrer Spezies.
Kleiner Pluspunkt, wenigstens Bumblebees Beifahrer „Wheelie“ war angeschnallt. Der besorgte Blick ist begründet:
- Die Teilnahme an der Filmpremiere nächste Woche dürfte gefährdet sein.
- Auf die Halter (39 und 27 Jahre) warten zudem Bußgeldverfahren und die Kosten des Gutachtens.

+++ #transformers need an update +++

#Bumblebee and #barricade didn't take the bill without our forged colleagues when they moved through charlottenburg yesterday. Both stumbled at 12 am on Bismarck str. In Charlottenburg in a traffic control of our sections 24 and 25.

Since there are no stvzo on the planet #cybertron, they both had a lot of trouble in their luggage.
Who is surprised that both the " Autobot " and the " Decepticon " have had structural change, they are basically in the fluid. The list was long, along with chassis, tyres and lighting, both exhaust systems seemed to be clearly deficient. In addition, #barricade had an "injury" on the rear axle. As it came to the dangerous superior, he didn't want to tell us. But there was no suspicion of " Optimus crime

With the help of our tow icons, we've both brought you to the planet " Dekra Here you join your other steel mates and wait for an earthly opinion. The facility is not cybertron but they are the only species in their species.
Small plus, at least bumblebees passenger "wheelie" was fastened. The concerned look is justified:
- participation in the, next week should be at risk.
- the holders (39 and 27 years) are also waiting for of and the cost of the report.

Speaking of Nitro, he's based on a F-5 or the F-20

An official distribution notice sent to Chinese exhibitors was released online Thursday showing a running time of 150 minutes for the film — two minutes more than the 148-minute version playing in the rest of the world. It’s unclear what the extra two minutes in the Chinese version includes.

TurboMMaster wrote:I don't know witch part is the most shocking here... Megatron making "deal" with Humans? Megatron actually knowing some of his soldiers? Megatron actually leading? As awkward as circumastances are ,it actually seems that this time they try to give Decepticons some characterisation.

It's just edited shorter like that for the spot but presumably it will be correct in the movie.

Also notice how Dreadbot doesn't have any of the Rusty van kibble in that scene?

Munkky wrote:Not really feeling the name "Dreadbot", it sounds like an early pre-production name. This is one of those instances where I wouldn't have minded a name-slap, even the name of some lesser known Armada Mini-Con would do.

'fraid it's real. Charges are listed, laws broken are listed, etc. and there's been nothing to the contrary. If this does indeed turn out to be confirmed as a big PR stunt, we'll post an updated story to reflect that - but right now, everything's saying this is real.




Should have linked the actual facebook post though. Editing!

Whats cool about this is that it means Hot Rod's French accent will actually be real and not someone's idea of a french accent.

Btw wasn't the IMAX version for at least one of the films(could've been for more than one...not sure?) a couple of mins longer than the standard theatrical release?
