'Transformers 3' Casting, Rumors, Pics till release

I was thinking about something could that bird like Transformer in the Super Bowl spot be Silverbolt...like Beast Wars?

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Silverbolt_(BW)

As awesome as Beast Wars was, it's generally lost in the multitude of TF stuff that's come out since then and it tough to remember for the casual fan of the past decade. As such, it's more likely Laserbeak.

I've seen some other sites really pick apart the trailer. Apparently we've got more re-used models happening, with the Decepticon protoforms and Devastator (or Brawl, depending on who you listen to), the tank who was sorta blown up in the first movie is back too. This isn't the first time, as Blackout, the Pave Low chopper was back in the second movie too. Of course there's nothing to say that Cybertronians can't look alike and assume identical vehicles, but it's always wierd to see such blatant re-use of the same model with barely a recolor or change of the serial number on the model.

glad you said that, Jet, you reminded me, the guy that played Uncle Phil in Fresh Prince said he was voicing a character a while back and it was reported his character Silverbolt - which peeps thought was the G1 Aerialbot character.

Grindor in ROTF wasn't an MH-53 Pave Low like Blackout though, he was a regular CH-53 Super Stallion.

the big reuse was the unidentified mysterious Buffalo MPV in ROTF in vehicle mode that clearly couldn't have been Bonecrusher.

Bonecrusher hates people stealing his alt-mode.
 
I love the "death on rollerskates" depiction of Optimus.

I hear he's getting wings in this one.

A'yup.

I've been getting a kick out of hanging out at the Seibertron and TFW forums the last two days to watch everybody facepalm over this thing. Polio Princess Prime, indeed.

The one saving grace is that the susbstantial screen inaccuracy of most of what we've seen from the DOTM line so far leaves hope that what we get in the movie won't look that silly.
 
The "battle armor" or whatever they're going to call it looks utterly stupid. I'll be getting this JUST to display it in vechicle form. I have at least one Prime from every wave displayed in a maple/clear glass display cabinet.
At least in vehicle mode it is very G1 representative.
Bet this is a $60 piece at retail.
 
^i09 claims it closer to $80.

It still sucks for the price. WTF is with him wearing his entire truck front like boxing gloves?
 
Mudflap and Skids are reportedly back yes after Michael Bay spent a couple weeks first denying they wouldn't be.
 
yes, set photos showed their car modes a while back. they're now coloured black with a green stripe and black with an orange stripe.

ooooo, THAT's gonna be popular...

Wow. So they've now actually made them black cars. Did Bay completely miss why they were so hated in the first place?
 
no, i meant how do i say 'they talk more normally' without making it sound racist and that i think black people don't talk normally?

I dunno, I think that works. Because black people do "talk normally." It's racist to think they all talk and behave like those two did in the second movie. So it's not racist to make them talk like normal freaking sentient beings.

Honestly, I'm going to raise my hand and say I want a reboot of Transformers done by Christopher Nolan. ;)

Because, honestly, I don't want to have to bring me a couple bottles of seizure medication in to see this movie.

No, in the United States, what I said actually applies. There will be cries of racism if the twins have all the slang and hip hop removed from their dialog because the same person who accused Revenge of the Fallen of racism will accuse Dark of the Moon of racism for whitewashing them. :lol:
