Want to see cars beautifully speeding along epic expanses? Cars that transform into badass robots, but not here!
Hey folks, Harry here... There's a male fetishry concerning the awesome auto-sex of sleek beautiful automobiles twisting and turning along beautiful landscapes. This is something that Michael Bay does amazingly well. This is just a montage of images of the disguised Transformers - and I have to say... we see a few cars driving up to the Pyramids of Giza. Given the reveal of the Fallen atop a pyramid... this seems to indicate that we will in fact see action upon the Pyramids. That will be quite something. Don't you think? Thanks to the Yattering for the heads up.
Here's an embed:

but the man who gave me Bad Boys 2 will forever get my business.
That actually sounded kind of homoerotic. Unintentional, I assure you. -
that is all

the car choices. it seems there will be more smaller Autobots in this sequel.
-
Is that the Egyptians built pyramids to house the transformers. Wow. That's pretty original. What's next? They hid Megatron's wife under the great wall of China? The only problem is that she's a 4,000 mile long dragon. Hoboy.
-
we get another 2 hour GM commercial. Fuck the recession -- we should all go out and buy gas guzzling Transformer cars.

If Michael Bay ever makes a movie where the camera does not rotate, or spin, or slide across the screen, I will eat my own shit. Seriously. Eat...my own...shit.
-
That's a ridiculously sweet looking ride. I will be sad to see it get punched by another robot.
-
boring... pointless... uninspired... yep commercialism at it's finest.
-
Not cool news.
-
Ok, wait... NOW!! Awww hell, when do they transform?
-
That's a pretty safe bet to make. (no sarcasm intended)
-
F-off with this crap. Seriously.
-
Harry, I love you like a slightly creepy but ultimately harmless, eccentric uncle--but... that clip sucked for a variety of reasons (not least because it was simply an uninspiring and crassly commercial montage of newer GM vehicles). And it could have been filmed by a film student anywhere in the country with a little dough behind them.Now I know you have the heart of a ten year old boy, big guy, and I do love you for it. But how can ANYone be gullible enough to think that video clip was cool in any way? Sorry, man--I call bullshit.
-
Why all the hate? That corvette concept looked AWESOME!!
-
Or did they turn to robots and swim?
-
Optimus: Autobots roll out!
Chevy Volt: Wait a minute guys, I'm almost drained. I need to plug in and charge.
Optimus: Dammit! How long is that going to take?
Volt: 6-8 hours.
Optimus: *sighs and rubs his forehead* We can't wait...
Volt: Aw, c'mon guys. Wait up.
Optimus: Look, when you get charged, just guard the base or some shit.
*The Autobots transform and roll out. Bumblebee pees on Volt before leaving*
Volt: Awww! That wasn't necessary.
Optimus: Who let that guy in anyway? Electric cars. Electric pussies. Amiright?
-
That guy wants to fuck Michael Bay so bad, he posted about it 3 times. Also, I would sex that Corvette.
-
people whining that a movie about robots that turn into cars is a giant car commercial because it shows them off while in car mode. yes, lets have a movie about robots that turn into cars and never pay attention to them when they arent robots. how dare they show off the cars, you'd think the cars were somehow related to the robots or something. whats next? a movie about the military that shows off the military? or maybe a movie about animals that shows off the animals....its just endless.
-
solely by Anthony Anderson. That fat turd single handedly made the movie unwatchable.
-
These generic cars are just GM models by happen-so. Surely no advertising money exchanged hands. Please forgive my unwarranted cynicism.
-
he makes cars speeding look good. and i will always thank him for catapulting kate beckinsale and megan fox into our conciousness. that said, i wish he's stop pretending to be a film director.
-
maybe you didnt know this but most movies and tv series pay money to use brand name things...cars included. whats next, people are gonna start saying Jurassic Park 2 was a BMW commercial? oh no wait, they werent showing off the cars in that one because the movie wasnt about them but this one is. i mean seriously, if anybody in this age of movie knowledge was really surprised that one car company would supply most of the vehicles for these movies well i have magic beans for you, they make you fart rainbows.
-
well of course they didnt pick airplanes, gotta save the aerialbots for the 3rd movie. :P
-
dumb.
-
Did you see that Red'ish SUV? How does he do that??!! A Red car on film??!!! The utter magnitude of his skill is not to be believed!
-
After watching that tripe, I'm pretty damned sure I'm not going to bother paying $10 to see Revenge of the Fallen. How on Earth am I supposed to get excited about a bunch of fugly GM cars when I know how many taxpayer dollars are being pissed down the drain on that company? The deal Bay has made with GM really ruins Transformers for me. What, when the Autobots came to Earth they just happened to land at the GM booth of the Detroit Auto Show?!?!
-
yeah it must be humbling when the autobots have to ride a ship to get to the enemy, while the decepticons can just fly wherever the fuck they want faster.

Everybody's getting pissed at the usage of American cars
by shut the fuck up donny
...Has anybody been overseas lately? I don't really wanna see a bunch of Clios, Twofours, Cubes, et al trying to kick ass...
And I've read it's not easy to get high-end companies like Porsche and Ferrari to license out their stuff (Anybody ever wondered why Gran Tourismo 1-4 never had 'em?)
Plus everybody's getting pissed that GI Joe is no longer an "American hero" for the upcoming movie; Why not let this cartoon icon have a little American pride?
Anyway, I'm digging that Corvette. -
Sorry, hit return.... anyway, I was going to say that it's just very, very hard to sell pride in companies which are pretty much poster children for everything that has gone wrong with our economy post-housing collapse. But that's, like, my opinion, man....
-
as I've been screaming from the rooftops for years that the big 3 were going to go under for a variety of reasons. Hell, I own stock in Honda..! I'm just talking "American Pride" in a more generic sense. A lot of people in this country haven't seem to been to proud of their home for quite some time...

Feb 11, 2009 11:03:13 PM CST
Gah, that last sentence was 3 ways of fucked up..
by shut the fuck up donny
...AND I hit return by accident, too.
My point being is that maybe some of us, deep down, would like to see a positive association with America--or even an American brand. Even if it's in the form of a screen full of unrecognizable robots with Chevy logo on their chest duking it out while piss-poor Aerosmith blares in the background. -
You bitches have no commercial concept at all! This movie, as with all of Bay's SWILL, is a summer blockbuster. This fucker isn't trying to make artful masterpieces (ala Fail Har-bore). WTF is everyone bitching about. Most of you are a bunch of fuckin fan-boy basement stalkers anyway. I'll tell Kevin Smith you said, Hi.
-
You are talking shit on the internet. That is right on par with "fan-boy basement stalkers"
-
Question: in the first movie, they established that the tranformers can take any form they want, and they're even capable of scanning and changing to a new form or something like that. First off, how do they drive from North America the pyramids? Second off, why the hell would they drive to the pyramid? Why not change to a plane or helicopter or fly to them? Maybe they're lying low, they flew to an airport, then changed and drove up. I dunno, maybe i'm overthinking a movie or pointless (and not very "cool") clip of it that shouldn't be thought much of.
-
... in any way, shape, or form "cool."

Man, that music is awesome. Great soundtrack the first one had.
by dogmatic
I was like well this is a nice chevy commerical....until that music kicked in....dun dun dun dun DUN dun dun Dun dun DUN DUN DUn dun AWESOME. It is a simple soundtrack gimmick but it works so well....once that kicked in suddenly it went from good Chevy commercial to the friggin' AUTOBOTS on their way to kick ass in vehicle form! ROCK ON! Bring it!
-
I hate that they have to be all from the same motherfucking car company. I want to see Audis and Mercedes and Lambos mixed up with American cars. I understand it isn't logistically possible, but I want to gripe about it anyway.
-
I saw Optimus and Ironhide and Bumblebee of course....but what about the others? Who is the concept Vette? That Prowl? And anyone know who the blue Volt and the green (dunno the model) one is? And what happened to Ratchet??
-
The country of origin of the cars is not the issue, the one novelty about Transformers; Autobots in general, was they where actual real cars from all different Companies. It was novel seeing a actual Lamborghini Countach or Lotus Esprit, or a Lancia sport I got one my 1st car lessons from Transformers and now this movie is basically a poorly edited GM comercial. And another thing If Jazz was not going to be a Porche (from what I understand Porche is very picky However if you remove the Porche Badges they dont care) He should have been a vette from jump street.
-
Will be fucking our eyeballs out in 2009!!!

Still think your theory's on point now?

Is it just me, or are the headlines on ACIN getting worse?
by tallboy66
Yeesh.
-
Thanks for making me watch a friggin' ad Harry.
-
I love cars.
-
Was it jsut me or were there no flames this time?
-
Bunch of whiney fucks! It's a god damn Transformers movie. The original cartoon was a fucking commercial for the toys! Or did those of you bitching about the movie being a commercial for GM forget that?
Get the fuck over it, and stop bitching about a movie about Hasbro toys not being "realistic" or "a GM commercial". No wonder fanboys don't get laid.
Fuck off. -
6 seconds of all that footage will somehow make it to the final cut, just really fast and choppy, how bay likes'em. of course this is just tedious long camera shots of cars driving around, it looks the same at the first movie!!
-
If he got cut because GM doesn't want to advertise the Hummer anymore I will be seriously not happy.
-
That music made me feel like I had last minute important business.
-
You are the first pla..I mean, person, EVER, to say that here.
-
Sorry dude. It's just that judging by your amazing posts, I figured your mentality to be very Frankenstein-like. FIRE BAD, and ME HURT, that sort of thing. When ever you post your spam, I picture you standing there gripping your erection and yelling FUCK MICHAEL BAY. It's cool, he is very handsome. Also, you couldn't handle my mom.

The first BOOK OF BALE...
And lo on the 5000th post the Old Testament Of Bale did end.
Upon that cold February day the professional disciples of Bale did rip their calendars from the walls and did proceed to burn them in a great pyre.
For that time, that blessed time, would forever be known as BB (Before Bale) and that time which followed would thereafter be known as AB (After Bale).
When the professional disciples of Bale did inform the non-believers, communicating through the holy medium of talkback, there were some who would not listen. They would not post at 1000. They would not post at 2000, and still they would not post at 5000. They denied Bale thrice over. They were blind to Bale and worshipped the false idol of Yoko's Cool Cuts.
It was then that Bale sent his rage upon them so that all fuckin amateurs might see his power. He tore from the non-believers a new asshole so that all would be marked, and his professional brethren did delight in the shit storm that followed.
Here ends the first BOOK OF BALE. (Get thee to the Terminator talkback and post three times if ye would repent).
-
American car manufacturers are in trouble. A summer blockbuster comes along that will advertise their cars to the masses. Some people will be inspired to buy their cars. GM makes money. It makes sense to me. Now if they could make their cars as well as their European and Asian counterparts, they'd be better off. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a Bugatti Veyron thrown in the mix.
-
NOW!
-
Edit.
-
And if they can have a little green car, why couldn't they have made Bumblebee a little yellow car? Just because VW didn't want to play ball doesn't mean he couldn't have been a Mini or some other small car.
Still, even if they had got the vehicle modes right they would still transform into fucking abominations. -
If you love cars then that clip was COOL. Did you not see the vette concept? If you love autobots AND cars then it was STILL cool. You people hate for the sake of hating, it's your right, I guess. Why not go outside and get some fresh air?
Also, was it just me or were there no flames on the big O? -
It's a CAR website, they cover the goings on in the AUTO industry, not the AUTOBOT industry. GM released footage of their cars which are featured in the movie for CAR lovers, that's why AUTOBLAG has the footage. You people.......
-
While the other Autobots have to pull into a gas station, The Volt will be opening its purse and counting the money it saved.
-
is that you'll completely blow your budget and timeframe if you have to have to deal with all those different companies. It's just a practical thing. If you want your giant robots on the screen, things become a lot simpler if you just deal with the one company. You can argue that different brands of cars are more important than different TYPES of cars (but same company/brand) 'til the cows come home. You basically said it yourself when you used the word "novelty".
Maybe it's not as important to me because I just don't care - In a narrative sense (and oh yes I get the irony of talking about narrative as it applies to shitty TF movies and cartoons!) I get that they're vehicles that do different things, and what brand they are, well that doesn't really contribute to plot or character so I don't really give a rat's arse. But then I've argued here before about how flatnoses are a shortcut designed for the requirements of toys and 2d animation and a long nose suits 3d and film infinitely better so... I'm probably out of step with the fans. I don't think flames are important enough to get bent out of shape (ha!) about either. And yes, Boogy is right.
So basically, what don't you FUCKIN' UNDERSTAND?!
;) in case you haven't been in the Termy/Bale TB... -
Yes... and then pulling in to a bank to deposit that money into the loan account because it cost ten grand more to buy in the first place... ;)
-
Fuck you and your mama too! I love Transformers 1 and Im gonna love this one...and you're gonna love this chunky dick plump dick!
-
DRIVING!!! *jizzed-in-my-pants*
-
Is he behind the car at the end as they pull into a stop? I know he's not the stylish 'bot....
-
Seriously
-
They smell toxic and give nasty headaches after even a short drive.... these are not saving the earth
-
brought to you by GM...
-
Ratchet is in a few shots at the end but for the most part he's absent from all this footage. My guess is that he probably gets killed early in the film.
