Wow, this could be the most comprehensive group of links ever assembled on the web.

Seriously, they need to hire you to do the extras on dvd sets, man. No more missing material and things left out!

Sideswipe operates on something called an eight-cylinder "V8" internal combustion engine to the least of my knowledge. Possibly a General Motors LS3, LSA, LS7, or LS9 engine.
That was sarcasm in the first sentence FYI. If you can't see the driver, you must look really close. The top of the driver's head is visible at some points.

Wait a minute...where's Ironhide??? I hope he doesn't die in the movie. Also, I've seen nothing of Skids and Mudflap recently. I wonder if they die too.

WTF? He's not down as low as you think. There is plenty of room.

Yeah I want the toys too, but Hasbro will definitely simplify them beyond belief, taking note of all the guns, guns, and more guns that add a lot of detail and complexity. And they will most definitely be simplified condidering their size which would translate into deluxe figures. The probably also won't be able to change into the standard stock car mode either, just the "armed" mode.

The idea of this thread is to contain only links to videos from the TF3 set. Please don't post comments here about completely different things. It will make finding links here harder.

Thanks.

Blown UP. Looks and sounds bad otherwise...

But at least Bay can joke about that stuff...

I saw that somewhere else, and I totally agree. He still does look like a dork when he's writing in that notebook, though. But yeah, the paparazzi guy deserved that.
