Transformers Movie Primer

"moviepreviewcritic" has posted a primer to prepare Transfans for the changes made to Transformers in the movie from the beloved Generation 1 incarnation. Its actually pretty well done, humorous, and I think will help some get in the proper mindset when seeing the movie. Thanks to Hotrod for the link.

Movie Clip: Autobots Introduction

Thanks to the ever helpful Maximus, there is now a clip available that shows the introduction of the Autobots to Spike and Michaela. Its a great scene.

First 3 Minutes of Transformers

First we get the Megatron voice for the first time, now can see (through a video camera in a theatre) the first three minutes of Transformers. It starts with the voice of Optimus Prime explaining the Allspark and goes right into the movie, no long title credit sequence. Thanks to the unknown person for the link.

Movie Clip: Megatron Speaks

Thanks to the ever diligent Tigerclaw, there is footage on YouTube of Megatron (Hugo Weaving) speaking. Its a clip that aired during Shia LaBeouf's interview on the Late Show with David Letterman on Friday night. Its good footage but I have a feeling the voice will be an issue for many Transfans. I can't even tell its Hugo Weaving doing the voice which either is kudos for him or the sound mixers, not sure which.

MSN Video Movie Clip

MSN has a new clip called "Perfect Day" that is an amusing chat between Josh Duhamel, Tyrese, Zack Ward and that guy from Prison Break as they fly somewhere. The scene doesn't actually show any of the Transformers themselves. Sadly have to watch a commercial before the clip. Thanks to "Trailer" for the link.

Megan Fox Clip and Interview

Megan Fox appeared on the Today Show presenting a new clip from the movie in a conversation between her and Sam. Also Sci Fi wire posted a brief interview (below clip) with her regarding the movie.

The article:

Transformers' Fox Kicks Butt
Megan Fox, who co-stars with Shia LaBeouf in Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers movie, told SCI FI Wire that she was glad her character knew cars and got to kick butt. "Both of the female characters in the movie were very strong characters," Fox told reporters in Beverly Hills, Calif. "Rachael [Taylor]'s character's very intelligent, and I felt that they were representing women very well."

Fox plays the high-school crush of LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky, a popular girl with a secret past who finds herself caught up with Sam in an epic battle between giant robots on Earth. Fox got to do a lot of her own stunts, which had its costs.

"I lost my two big toenails at one point," Fox said. "Not to, like, a specific accident. It was just the constant running in the wardrobe boots, which rubbed my toenails off."

One big challenge was acting opposite giant robots that weren't there but would be added in post-production as computer animation. "All of the robots were represented by window-washing poles," Fox said. "And they were all height-appropriate to each character. ... We were looking in the right direction. And sometimes they had attached ... I never had a tennis ball, but ... [Industrial Light & Magic] has these red glowing ... balls. They would attach them to the top, and that's the face. And the rest you sort of create [in your imagination], and we have to create together, because we have to move at the same time, like we get approached by the same thing, so it was difficult."

Yahoo Movies Australia Movie Clips

Yahoo Movies! Australia has up a streaming movie clip between Rachael Taylor and Anthony Anderson. Apparently its a scene about the two being grabbed by the FBI to assist in dealing with the Transformers. Its fairly amusing scene. A second clip is also up with Josh Duhamel talking to his family via satellite.

Click here to view it. May take a moment to load and there will be a commerical before it.

Update: Tigerclaw strikes again (thanks!) and has provide us with a YouTube rip of the "Doughnuts" and "My Ladies" clips (both aptly named by him).

IESB.Net Transformers Videos

IESB.net has posted 11 videos regarding Transformers. Some of the videos are repeats of the MTV movie awards footage but most are new. There are even two pretty long behind the scenes clips that actually do what the title says. Its 100% a watch them film the movie view with none of the marketing and cheerleading that behind the scenes stuff usually is all about, just as the HBO First Look coming June 27th will probably be.

Also to see larger version of the clip, click the video title above the viewer. To an even larger version, click the X in the bottom right-hand corner of the viewer. Just ignore the white edge as couldn't figure out how to eliminate it. Let me know if its just better if I link to the videos rather then embed them as currently doing.

Apparently, my hack started failing causing Internet Explorer to crash and the page just to load really slow. So instead, just click here to view the various movies.

Shia LaBeouf Interview Movie Clip

Shia LaBeouf appeared on the 06/13 episode of the Tonight Show. Don't have the interview, hopefully will be on YouTube soon, but someone did snag a copy of the movie footage shown. Amusing sequence with Spike trying to hide the TFs from his dad and they not particularly helping.


Update: Thanks to Maximus, now able to download the Leno footage from here.

Example Transformer Card Images

Maximus purchased some cards for Transformers the movie that some stills from the movie not seen in the trailergame trailer and other sources. She was kind enough to scan them for all to view. Some of them are pretty awesome looking especially the Optimus and Megatron jump. The gallery is here, but I snagged a copy just in case photobucket limit is reached.



Update: Corrected some incorrect assumptions.

Megan Fox On Jimmy Kimmel

Megan Fox appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to promote Transformers. She was looking smoking hot and most of the conversation was about her looks and tattoos (lot of em, all non-conventional) which I suspect where hidden in make-up for the movie shoot. The shown movie clip starts around the 6 minute mark. Its Megan Fox bending over showing off the bod while checking out Bumblebee's engine with Shia.

BlackFilm.com Exclusive Set Pics

Blackfilms.com has provided additional behind the scenes pics from Transformers including one of the few pics of Rachael Taylor who is the other hot woman in the film that has been ignored in lieu of Megan Fox in the sex quotient promotion for the movie. Thanks to Wilson M for providing the link.

MTV Awards Transformers Clips

The movie awards are over, lots of mentions for Transformers including winning that Most Anticipated "who wants to advertise with us" Movie of the Summer award. There where multiple clips involving Transformers. Thanks to Tigerclaw, the Optimus Prime vs Bonecrusher clip is already on YouTube to enjoy. I will add others as learn about them. If don't want to wait on YouTube uploads, you can go to the MTV Awards site for TF content. Based on comments, that site may not work outside the US.

Additionally, you can go to GM's now live Autobotsrollout.com for more videos including behind the scenes footage and movie clips.

Update 7/11/07
Videos removed due to MTV claim that it infringes on copyright. Due to the nature of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), its guilty until proven innocent and I don't have the ability to fight any such claim. I have removed all links and footage per the takedown notice.

I recommend to all site readers to avoid any and all MTV content, including their channels and websites, as it may be infringing on their copyright by viewing the material and telling others about it.

Final Transformers Trailer Screenshots

With the new trailer comes many new screenshots that show the detail of the Transformers. Some of the screenshots used come from the HD version so if there is a lag in load time that may be why. Below are some screen shots provide by Chad T. More shots can be found at here and here. Thanks to Mitchell Z and a site reader for the links.

More Movie Stills

More movie still have hit the web (see previous here and here). The one that people will probably notice is the one with Optimus Prime head. Notice that it matches the moment from the leaked trailer but doesn't have the jutting lips supporting that the leaked trailer was not authorized.

"Ellen" Transformers Clip

Josh Duhamel was interviewed on "Ellen" the other day, presenting a clip from the film involving Blackout and a few more bits of his transformation.

More Movie Set and Still Pictures

Thanks to celebutopia, more set pics and movie stills are available. Previous pics are here. The set pics show pretty much all the main human characters in the film including apparently a set version of Frenzy, showing that Bumblebee wasn't the only model that was built for the movie. The movie stills show the fully rendered Barricade chasing down Spike. Thanks to Chad T for the link.
