this is nothing new
ReplyDeleteWho said it's anything new? It's a summary of all the info up till today.
ReplyDeleteA fine summary of all the OFFICIAL information so far accumulated about TFilm3.
ReplyDeleteBut I wish there was word of new robots, I'm tired of hearing about the new humans...
I hope all of the new actor additions are only for voice work. Last thing this franchise needs is more human characters
ReplyDeleteAll I know is Barricade better show his cowardly hide in this movie...
ReplyDeleteI kinda like it that no new robots have really been named as of yet. Maybe they are saving them for a nice first trailer?
ReplyDeletei agrie with the guy above me......i mean come on why would they release information about the transformers so early?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the rumoured vehicles to appear?
ReplyDelete@Evilgidgit
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. I added Bumblebee's potential convertible mode (notes section) and the Autobot Ferrari (TF cast section).
A source to the filming start. According to http://reelchicago.com/story.cfm?storyID=2805, it starts July 4th.
ReplyDeleteprancing horse with autobot logo? COOL
ReplyDeletehttp://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-autobot-bumblebee-revealed-169651/ Bumblebee's Camaro mode verified, but with some modifications!
ReplyDeletehttp://tformers.com/transformers-leo-spitz-to-have-expanded-role-in-transformers-3/11919/news.html You think Ramón Rodríguez isn't verified to appear. Check out this article. It was verified motnhs ago. Check the article.
ReplyDeletethe only bad thing about this movie is there saying this is the last one. i think they should keep the franchise going. this is one of the franchises that could keep going. it gonna keep making money, different story lines, if michael bay doesnt want to continue with the franchise let him move on. there other directors out there.
ReplyDeleteI really hope it's last one (of this saga of course). What new could be in this after revealed origins of the Cybertron civil war and that the Dynasty of Primes were first creations of the Allspark?
ReplyDeleteI believe the Twins are not in film. They made the second film to get negative comments, but this time Bay won't make same mistake. Besides, when Jazz was rumored to return in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Bay sai:d 'Jazz is dead', and he stayed as dead.
ReplyDeleteOk, I was worng. But hey, why is Florida written still 'unverified' Wasn't that just verified when said that Space Coast will be one of shooting locations?
ReplyDeleteSure hope Sunstreaker and Prowl show up this time.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't mind seeing Thundercracker and Skywarp and Shockwave on the opposite side either.
Wheel Jack and Prowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDeleteNEED I SAY MORE
Some predictions for this film... first the simple stuff, followed by more complex story filler.
ReplyDelete1. Cape Canaveral will be located 15 miles EAST of Miami.
2. Chicago and Moscow will have the same time zone.
3. Mikeala's lips will have triple enlargement.
4. Sam will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 20 for saving the world (and the solar system) from destruction.
5. A piece of the Matrix of Leadership (since it was destroyed with the Sun Harvester by Optimus Prime) will be found by Megatron, and he'll use it to bring the Fallen back to life.
6. Hot Rod will defeat the Fallen, take the Matrix and become Rodimus Prime.
7. Sam will discover a new interstellar object using a 6" Orion telescope while proposing to Mikaela in his parent's backyard.
8. Unicron will swallow Saturn and Jupiter as his grand entrance, since those are gas planets anyway... you know, it's easier.
9. Optimus Prime + Rodimus Prime + Sam will defeat Unicron.
Aren't they going to put minicons in this film?
ReplyDeleteAnd junkions?
I've heard rumours and there's art for them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f2KPdcEXMo
(only guessing about the mincons at 0:51)
http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2010/06/transformers-3-taking-over-la.html Who-ever-keeps-this-blog-alive, you verified in this article that Africa really is filming location. Though there wsn't told which country.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Lennox? In RotF he was major Lennox.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Mark Ryan tell he'll be in this movie too, but just didn't tell which characters he'll be voicing this time?
ReplyDeletewhy have people been saying that ironhide & the twins are gonna be killed off in the beginning of the new movie? i dont see them as characters to be killed
ReplyDelete@anon 6/01/2010 11:03 AM: Are you serious?? No ff-ing minicons, noooooooooooo!!!
ReplyDeleteThat will ruin the movie for sure, minicons are stupidest things ever! Minicons wouldn't work in a film like this, a would be waste of time and money.
@anon 6/15/2010 12:23 PM: Do you what a promotion is? This was somewhat verified a short time ago.
@anon 6/16/2010 5:07 AM: Uhhh, didn't you read the article?
I'm thinking that "Einstein" is the Mercedes, only due to the German License plate on the car.
ReplyDeletewhat happened to jolt? unless hes the blue mercedes or he hasnt been seen on set yet. and if he isnt in it they better explain why in the movie, something they didnt do for barricade.
ReplyDeleteMILLERtalon said...
ReplyDeleteTHAT CHEVY TAHOE IS A 2010 MODEL THERE BUDDY. Not hard to tell.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@brandon..... HIGHLY unlikely that the dodge charger is barricade. Bay did say that the explanation of barricades dissapearence from the first movie was that optimus prime killed him after killing bonecrusher
ReplyDelete@anon.....Yeah they just confirmed that there will be no Rollbar In the movie! As It stands now the robot count so far Is 22 total :)
ReplyDeleteAutobots:
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Ratchet
Sideswipe
The Twins
Wheelie
Silverbolt
The Wrekers - 3 Nascars
Ferrari 458 Italia-?
Mercedez Benz E550-?
Fire Truck-?
Decepticons:
Megatron
Starscream
Soundwave
Shockwave
Dodge Charger-?
Chevy Tahoe-?
Armored Truck-?
My guess is that Decepticon Dodge Charger will be alot like the Rollbar Jeep. Just a random car with a faction badge attached to it, and not involved in the film.
ReplyDeleteThe Chevy Tahoe is in fact a Suburban, not only from the longer wheelbase but the nameplates I seen in the set pictures.
Then we have that Mad Max style armored Mack tanker rig, faction unknown at this time though.
Who knows if the alt forms spotted on set are attached to known characters so far. I am sure this sheet can get crazy at times like this.
@Brandon,
ReplyDeleteYou may have to add a bunch of Decepticon drone`s to that list along with two decepticon assassins. Also rumors from the set apparently mention something big and huge in the sky in the final scene. Maybe Unicron or a Combiner?
did they finish filming the movie? its been a few days and no updates.
ReplyDeleteNo, they didn't. They've been filming only in four cities: Gary, Los Angeles, Chicago and Milwaukee. There are still lot of locations. Detroit, Cape Canaveral, Washington and Moscow. Locations in Teaxs, Africa and China were also planned into this movie.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the Decepticon Chevrolet truck isn't Tahoe, it's Suburban and there are two of them.
ReplyDeletei read on two articles that Chigcago filming will take 6 weeks and they'll be spending $20 million dollars there. the article mostly discussed whether the filming is worth it to get $6 million dollars in tax credit, which the state desperately needs
ReplyDeleteLast time, could someone fix that William Lennox is major, not captain and change that Chevrolet Tahoe to Chevrolet Suburban and that there are two of them?
ReplyDeleteРебята кто знает когда Бэй В Москву едит?)
ReplyDeleteInformation about Hardcore Eddie character and film's budget is finally revealed: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-character-description--hardcore-eddie-170508/
ReplyDeleteOne spoiler for all of you: Transformers 3 will be the most expensive film ever.
http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/004169.html Filming in Florida takes only eight days.
ReplyDeleteNo idea how long Detroit filming takes, but after Washington filming is ready, they have still one week time after that. And eight days on Florida might be just before Washington. If Detroit takes only one week, there are still two weeks time for another locations. Well Texas, Africa, Moscow and China were only planned filming locations, some other locations could have replaced them.
ReplyDeleteDONT NEED TO BE A GENIUS
ReplyDeleteunknown - red Rosenbaurer Panther airline fire truck (existence verified, name unknown) = Inferno
Hey blogkeeper, if you posted this, update this call sheet too. http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2010/09/tf3-in-florida-dates-accepting-resumes.html
ReplyDeleteAnd Victor, Nelson said that the fire turck is not Inferno.
Mark Ryan was confirmed to be a voice actor on this film, but not confirmed to be Bumblebee's voice.
ReplyDeleteBesides, there were 4 Suburbans seen during filming. Not only two.
ReplyDeleteForget the cast & the cars; Where is the list of the Stunt Crew? Where is the Call Sheet of number 3??
ReplyDeletei think that the title leaked is the real one. 4 pieces of evidence: the title fits the rumored story, they're doing filming at KSC, the website that gets info from di Bonavera confirmed it, and the suffixes from Amazon match the title- like with TF2. does anyone think otherwise?
ReplyDeleteHey, if Johnson Space Centeris in Texas, why Texas is still unconfirmed? Someone should this page.
ReplyDeleteI actually heard that Corey Burton is voicing Shockwave:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1399103/fullcredits#cast
He actually voiced the part of Shockwave and Megatron in Transformers: Animated the Cartoon Network series. Did a damn good job, too. :)

It's just a rumor. Internet Movie Database isn't trusted source until the film is released.
ReplyDeleteWe have with us the possible Running Time of Transformers 3 1st Trailer. According to Alberta Film Classification, “Trailers, commercials and public service announcements (PSAs) are an integral part of the viewing experience at Alberta's movie theaters. Trailers, commercials and PSAs play before feature films; their classifications must be equal to or lower than the film they precede.”
ReplyDeleteAfter that, they have revealed a list of upcoming film trailers with their ratings and running times. One of the trailers is Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.
The trailer is rated PG and has a running time of 2:24.
This is usually the length of a “#1 Trailer” rather than the Superbowl Trailer (which is usually 30 seconds or so). Since this is listed by a Theater, it is likely that the trailer will accompany a movie. No release date for the trailer is given though.

ReplyDeleteTransformers 3: Dark of the Moon - Trailer!
hi someone have any idea in how the erase mikaela and bring carly! (obiusly in transformers mito carly is destiny to merry spike and have a son daniel)
ReplyDeleteWhy is Starscream's appearance still marked unverified here?
ReplyDeleteHow Tom Kenny voice Skids, if Skids is not in film. Fix that thing too.
ReplyDeleteDOTM game trailer revealed that Soundwave no longer transforms into Cybertronian satellite.
ReplyDeleteSoundwave is now the Armored truck.
ReplyDeleteThe tires and the color of the body hints that it's not the Armored Truck. It's something else.
ReplyDeleteAnd the orange toy truck isn't Wheelie. It's from Big Hoss from Speed Stars series: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Big_Hoss
ReplyDeleteSo, shouldn't those 'orange toy truck' and 'color change unverified' be removed?
ReplyDeleteAnd why is Leonard Nimoy's being voice of Sentinel Prime too not written here?
ReplyDeleteLast time. That orange truck seen wasn't Wheelie's new alternate mode. It's an Autobot named Big Hoss and the toy is not from DOTM toyline.
ReplyDeleteActor of Neil Armstrong is actually Don Jeanes.
ReplyDeleteIn comic Frances McDormand's character is called Mearing. IMDB says her first name being Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteAnd the tentacle-beast is called Driller, not Dweller.
ReplyDeleteI think Silverbolt should be taken out if he is not in the movie.
ReplyDeleteAnd how many times this has to be said? Wheelie's alternate is same than in ROTF. That orange truck is Big Hoss from toy line.
ReplyDeleteI'm really confused! I'm looking at the DOTM figures on Ebay and Soundwave still appears to be blue and not a car.
ReplyDeletebumblebee in alt mode should be camaro SS...special edition perhaps?
ReplyDeleteMark Ryan doesn't belong to the voice actor list.
ReplyDeleteAnd besides, Silverbolt never appeared film.
ReplyDeleteHey so did anyone else see Mudflap and Skids in the TF3 movie? Wheres my money Bay.
ReplyDelete
