Recent Toy, Robot Images Real

I just recieved a polite take down noticed from Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks and Hasbro requesting that I remove the recent pictures of the robot mode for the Audi R8, Chevy Trax and the Corvette Centennial. Per DMCA, I have to comply but its nice to get confirmation that those robot and toy images are 100% legit. Apparently there are watermarks confirming they are from one of the above companies but I can't see them.

Our client has requested the removal of several images that were leaked illegally. The images in question are owned by Hasbro and Dreamworks Animation. They depict Transformers 2 toys from the upcoming film and feature watermarks that are plainly visible in several shots.

The images in question are featured on the main page, and are also found at these specific links:

I completely understand that posting these images helps create hype and that your site has no intent to violate copyright laws (ed - good to know they realize this). As such I am extending a cordial outreach asking for your assistance in getting this images removed as they are the intellectual property of the aforementioned entities.

If desired, a standard DMCA notice, in compliance with all applicable laws can be provided for you.

Thank you for your help in the matter and feel free to contact me regarding this issue.
So there you go, the first robotic images of Transformers 2 are officially confirmed. Hopefully the toys will be better then matchbox style :P.

  6. I bet when Wheelbot moves it's going to be like a sleek ninja or something. OMG I can totally see him as a samurai type or something. He looks lethal. He IS an Autobot, right???

  8. maybe they sent TFLive an email before it was posted?

    anyway, well, they could've at least let those pics flow around the nets cause if they taking an legal action against those pics, then its obviously it is a confirmed TF 2 robot mode.

  9. The fact that they didn't request for Devastator pictures to be removed means nothing. Those images could be just some early sample concepts and the actual version is probably way different than it. Also, from those pictures that's not the whole Devastator for sure, it seems just one of the giant constructicons robots that will merge with the others to bring it to life.

  10. They could be real OR they could be fakes leaked purposely as part of the misinformation campaigne

  11. This clearly means that Wheelfeet will be getting his own spinoff movie.

  12. People people people... cast your mind back to only Transformers: Animated!

    Was Prowl not the proud owner of 'wheel-feet' which benefitted him? I think the design would make an awesome Prowl (forgetting it not being a police car)... and his samurai appearance totally goes with Prowl's character. I do hope this is real and I do hope this is Prowl.

    Wheel-feet have proved to be a good idea... they worked well for Bonecrusher and looked good on Jazz (especially when he rolled his foot over that junk-car's bonnet whilst asking "What's cracking little bitches?" (Autobot's intro in TF1).

    Here's hoping! Anyone out there agree?

  13. I didn't even think he could be Prowl! Now that you mention it, it makes total sense! OMG... Sexy scissors bot... please be Prowl.... And please don't get killed off. Bay killed Jazz because he thought he would be the second most popular that wouldn't kill the plot if he died...

    I hope we don't see more Autobot casualties in this one, but I have a bad feeling about this bot... Whoever he is.

  14. even polite takedown notices from paramount doesnt neccesarily make it 100% confirmed... if i was paramount i would do it anyways even if it was fake..just to give the illusion of it being real....to keep with the whole misinformation thingy.

  15. i think it autobot corvett trax cause the wheels would leav just that trax

    ReplyDelete
  16. well whatever... now we know the audi r8 & the constructicons are the new bad guys...

    and to our right, the 2 mini versions of Bumblebee is mr. trax & mr. beat. and scissors-hands as the new Autobuddies.

  17. I have theories that Chevrolet Trax Autobot might be Tracks and Audi R8 Decepticon might be Kickback. Kickback is on Transformers G1 one of the Insecticons. That Audi r8 decepticon looks like Barricade, but those car doors on that robot looks like wings of grasshopper. tht's why I think that Audi r8 decepticon is Kickback.
