How Many Robots Are In TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN - And Will They Fart??
Merrick here...
We've been hearing fro a while that there would me "more robots" in TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN.
In a new interview with Variety, Scott Farrar, FALLEN's lead vfx supervisor, reveals exactly what "more robots" means.
Everyone involved in "Revenge of the Fallen" is keeping the details under wraps, but Farrar says there are some 60 robot characters, and they play in settings around the world. Some, like refineries at night, were chosen to boost the visual drama and show off the scale of the giant 'bots.
What's more, this time the Transformers will interact much more with the world around them. Farrar highlights "the splashes and the hits and the fighting on dirt or moving, banging into trees," explaining, "Things splinter and break, they spit, they outgas, they sweat, they snort."
...says Farrar in THIS Variety write-up.
"They outgas". Does this mean they fart?
Will FALLEN be the first film (or the only film) in history featuring sixty farting robots? Sixty Farting Robots. Might be a good name for a rock group...

Sounds like they are really putting that SFX money to good use.
-
interesting
-
after a good hustle?
-
..and I'll say it again. You can have 500 robots but if they have no character to them (like the 90% of bots from the first abortion)then they just become as relevant as the cg trees or buildings.. and the designs still look shit, just more of them.
-
Perhaps this movie can transform the franchise into something more than dumb characters doing dumb things to dumb music but I doubt it.<p>I still haven't figured out why Voight's character in the first movie decided to endanger an entire city at the end but then, as I said, he was a dumb character in a dumb movie so perhaps no explanation is needed.
-
We had a pissing robot in the 1st one, how about a pissing robot cat in the 2nd! The fans DEMAND it!
-
a good one
-
So what did you expect? Intelligence? The average IQ of the audiences will be the amount of robots in this piece of shit.
-
ALL OVAH YA FAYCE !!onesies!11!
-
Followed by boogers and acid-reflux.
-
I suppose it's my own fault for expecting better.
-
Anything goes with those guys.

I will not be satisfied until I see an Autobot with diarrhrea
by SpyGuy
A constant spray of brownish-black oil all over an innocent human, preferably a nun or some kindly old grandmother! <p>Give me my dream, Michael Bay!</p>
-
Had to mention that thing
-
Transformers sucks. Treat your subject like a 10 year old kid's joke of the day, you'll get the steaming pile of shit that is Transformers.
-
Or people with that mental age anyway. <p> Expect shit.
-
I'm going back, Vanessa wants to give up the clarinet and Heathcliff won't have it.
-
So it seems like the next step would be for them to fart. Thanks Michael Bay
-
Even if its total crap.. Why oh why do we keep spending money on crap...
-
I don't think it means that, I think The Bay is going to make a statement about renewable energy and offshore driling. Give the guy some credit. Jesus. These are advanced robots for chrissake.
-
Like Michael Bay for example?
-
...as anyone who bothered to look it up would know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgassing. In fact, any Star Wars fan would know it as well, given the Stormtroopers' dialog about outgassing (when Obi-Wan has to sneak by them on the Death Star). Honestly, folks, do some homework.
-
"Fart sequence initiated" "Ending fart sequence" (in robot voice)
-
THEN pee. He's that good.
-
...which featured LaBoof and Fox making out on "Watersport" Bumblebee's hood, I hope this one has them screwing on his back-seat, while he ejects "fluid" from every "vent" in his "chassis".
-
Cos he uses it to communicate!
-
Good for her.
-
already had thousands of robots "outgassing" to move the planet a bit farther from the sun. it also has had jokes about robots shitting and pissing. other than that the two franchises are totally different, mainly because futurama isn't a piece of shit written by assholes.
-
they did a skit about colon cancer. Prime died...again
-
I'd pay good money to see Springer slip it to Blurr.
-
from Michael Bay. I know that this movie will probably be a huge hit, but I honestly just don't care about it and a lot of my friends feel the same way. It's just cheesy. Bay is just like George Lucas. He's great at visuals, but terrible at everything else.
-
first to piss by about twenty years
-
Is the occasional queef from Boomer's quivering twat as I pound her from behind.<p><p> Cameron from TSCC can get it too.
-
'I still haven't figured out why Voight's character in the first movie decided to endanger an entire city at the end but then, as I said, he was a dumb character in a dumb movie so perhaps no explanation is needed.' - to hide the allspark in a built up area, y'know, to save humanity.
-
Has to be an April Fool's prank...
-
I'd like to outgas into your mouth for this stupid headline. You really nuked the fridge this time...
-
Does Optimus get a prostate exam?
-
Truth.
-
But seeing as how Bay, Orci and Kurtzman are behind this fucking mess...probably completely true.</p><p> Still...as Hackish as those adolescent minded blow holes are...I'd like to think this is just an April Fools joke of some kind.</p><p> Really people....Sweating, farting, pissing robots? (shakes head)
-
I hear there will be 99 virgin robots who masturbate.
-
would most likely come across to us as farting. "Outgassing (sometimes called offgassing, particularly when in reference to indoor air quality) is the slow release of a gas that was trapped, frozen, absorbed or adsorbed in some material." From wiki, ala whitty. What the fuck do you think this will come across as. "Oh, no, dear, he wasn't farting. Robots don't fart. Jeez, they probably don't even have anuses, or is it anii?, to fart with. I believe he was just outgassing. That's what it was. I know it sounded like a fart and all the mouth-breathers laughed as if it were a fart. But, it was simple outgassing, like in Star Wars."
-
"they spit, they outgas, they sweat, they snort" <p> You really can't tell anymore nowadays, can you? This could either be a totally tasteless toilet humor april fool's joke by aicn OR a legitimate statement by the Transformers producers... <p> The times we live in...
-
... and Optimus Prime mounts him later in the film. What sick mother fucker thought having Optimus Prime shagging another robot would in any way be a good idea?
-
now can we move on to something else please
-
Come on already!!!
-
I feel like we should be paying you guys for all the PR! You really keep our names going on this board. Thanks.
-
wtf?
-
although, not a very good one as this seems highly plausible given what we all got with TINO! pt. 1
-
For putting in the jokes Michael Bay told them to put in. Blame Bay. Give the screenwriters a bit of slack.

"Will they fart?" Well, that depends. Is it a Dreamworks film?
by FeralAngel
If so the answer is HAY-ULL YAY-US!!!!
-
...but I recall Futurama had all the robots on Earth simultaneously belching.
-
The pissing robot scene in the first one was stupid and ridiculous...it totally demeaned the film. If they fart in this one, I'm out. I don't care if they make 1000 Transformers films...these movies don't need dick/fart jokes. They need to have awesome robot battles, good story lines and Megan Fox wearing less clothing than in the first film...
-
Frpm the creators of "The Nutty Professor" and "Norbit" comes "60 Farting Robots" starring Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, and Eddie Murphy!
-
Sixty Farting Robots is playing at coachella this year.
-
how else are we going to relate to them? I mean look at the Terminator. He was a robot built to kill people and I was all like "this shit is whack". But then they decided to make him human and give a thumbs up and say Hasta La Vista baby and I was all like "this robot iz da shit blow up dat building sweet". The bit in Tranformobot where the robot pisses made me ROFLMAO. Robots who fart? LOL!
-
60% of the movie will be michael bay shining a flashlight directly at the camera.
-
Seriously. AICN has a Heroes TB up at the crack of dawn every week for that tripe and we have to wait till 5:00 for a LOST TB. How long does it take to embed a few sneakpeeks and barf up some lame questions for the week?

"Prime winced as he struggled to eject the spent energon core...

From inside the discharge station Prime muttered to the waiting collection of Transformers; "Autobots, this shall only take a few more moments". Finally after one last mighty push the enormous sizzling, blackened power core dropped smoking into the discharge pan... -by Bob Orci aged 35

it's a Bay movie. it's cheap, vulgar, all that. and it's also a hit.

James Bond Blu-ray article. Every time I tried to access it, it said 'not authorized'. Now it's gone.

Robots don't "fart". It's called EXHAUST, assholes.<P>You should concern yourselves more with the "they sweat" thing.

When Connery is tied up in chains in the interrogating room, I remember thinking, "I know he gets free, but how. Next thing I know, his interrogator drops a quarter or some coin on the table, and bay zooms in and shows it spinning round and round. I was like, ok, now I remember. The very first time I watched it in 96 I thought, this is kind of insulting, Connery's obviously gonna do something with that coin, the way the director zoomed in on it like that. And when I rewatched it again as insulted as I was that bay zoomed in on this spinning coin for a few seconds as if to say, "hey dumbfuck! This is how Connery gets free! You fuckin forgot!" next thing I know, the coin drops off the table onto the ground, still spinning, still being zoomed on as if bay was saying, "fuck it man just in case you still don't fuckin remember Connery uses this coin!" So in the immortal words of FuckMichaelBay, FUCK MICHAEL BAY!!!!!!!

Optimus squeaks one out and says "my bad". Moronic audience laughs hysterically.
-
with the Lost TB comment (even though I cant watch it till tomorrow morning); and Merrick, proof-fucking-read!
-
Come on! You guys always complain! I'd like to see you make a 300 million dollar movie that makes people happy when or after they see the movie. A movie that makes millions of dollars! Done that lately? Have you ever even made a multi-million dollar movie? No?! Then how would you know!?<p>I bet you work at mcdonalds and you're only pay is giving the hamburglar a hummer while rubbing ronald's ballz. yoi know you wish your were mike bay snorting applesauce of the asscracks of porn stars but yor reality is beating up nuns and snorting rotten yogurt through a straw of the ass of fat hairy plumbers while rubbing the dessicated balls of a thousand year dead shaved pigmy dwarf monkey.<p>Until you make a giant blockbuster movie with hot girls with boobs and kewl guys with sandals and awesome sports cars driving around all fast n shit wihle poppin collars and playing football! Fuck! what's not to like asshatville?. with the president shotting a shotgun at giant rowbots attacking tokyo or whatever. and a small robot like yoda shooting cd's at paple? this movie is much better than maximum overdrive! i dare you ti disagro! i red yor complanes and it all sounds like jellus hi schooler girls who had their arms removed because they got stuck up their assessholes! haha!<p>Don't believe it do ya?
-
I already made something better when I took a shit this morning. All that cost me was $6 at Taco Bell. Shit movies are shit no matter how hard they were to make. Go take your shitty arguments somewhere else. (I tried to make this post as bodily-function-oriented as possible seeing as how you're a MB fan, I figures that would make things easier for you digest)
-
You have to admit that it's a terrible motivation behind the character's actions, just so Bay could show robots battling in a big city.
-
Devastators Mouth will be Mix-Masters Cement mixer, which he'll use to suck up and dispose what ever is around him. I hope that's what they're referring to.
-
That's why I lathered it on a bit. You don't know me enough to recognize my own idiot brand of sarcasm but believe me...I am not the droid you're looking for. i was actually going for the hairless sack teenybopper writing style. didn't think it would work; obviously i was mistaken (and i thought the inconsistent spelling errors would give me away too!).<p>But just think...Bay got the pyramids and probably the wall of china in this next one right? Maybe NASA will work with him and he can get a film crew to the moon and use a telescopic lens and film it from earth (just imagine how hard megan fox's nipples would be in near absolute zero termperatures!!!), put up some billboards, shave some monkeys and give them MOM tattoos, etc, etc...
-
Thank you, The Brains, for the only sentence in this article and TB I enjoyed. Anything about revealing her twitter is A-OK with me.
-
Transformers will have the ability to snort thats a given.
-
Me too friend... Me too. OR WAS I?!? In all seriousness, I was just thinking today that by this point in MB's career they must have whole meetings set up just to brainstorm ideas of what to hit with meteors this time around...
-
I truly hate you all
-
Never saw the first and I don't plan on seeing the second.
-
What could it be do you think? He's not the type to see a beautiful woman and then create a wonderful love story. Nor is he the type to read about a tragic and true war story and then give us a gripping military drama but I wonder from what muse does Bay derive his inspiration?<p>My initial guess is: 3% "Yo, MTV raps!", 7% NFL Monday Night Football (for the commcercials, not the game), 4% Sunglasses Hut, 6% Sound of a distorted guitar, 5% Fireworks, 6% Being underwater, 7% Feeling funny and weird after taking a really big shit, 22% Loud noises, 13% Really shiny objects, and 27% Boobs.
-
We know you want to bone Mr. Bay. Spamming the Talkbacks about it is unneccesary.
-
Glad to be of help Bob! Anything we can do to elevate ourselves by helping you in your quest to dumb down the rest of the movie going public...you just let us know.</p><p> Be aware however, most people who read this talkback aren't they types who will can fathom your genius or elevate your take opening weekend. Might I suggest you try trolling the forums at, pbskids.org/teletubbies or Mobilehome.com if you want to directly reach the core demo that can truly appreciate the comedic sensibilities and complete lack of story anc character depth you bring to the table. Just a suggestion Bob.</p><p>Now get back in there and polish up Trek...I'm sure there is room for you to shove one more Sassy Ghetto Girl Uhura line, or perhaps a Vulcan Fart joke or two in there.

WILL ARCEE GET HER PERIOD? DOES DEVESTATOR HAVE BODY DYSMORPHIA?
by THEFUCKINGCREEPYTHINMAN
-
Sixty robots? It was hard enough to tell them apart in the first movie.
-
We're in heaven! And they fart? GOOD! Why not? They turn into trucks, cars and planes, right? Why not go all the way then? Bodily functions are just part of the picture. <p> Sounds good to me. Bring on the Big Fucking Robots! 60? Make it 360! We like round numbers.
-
Sixty is JUST a start! Come on, don't they come from a whole WORLD of Giant Robots????? This could be great. An invasion by the China equivalent from that planet---big fucking Maoist Robots turning into all kinda metal ABKING wet-dream iconagraphy. I can't wait. <p> Seriously this should be a whole lotta fun. Just don't fucking expect to tell any of them apart, follow who is who or who is hitting who, and you'll be okay. <p> They should make a Harold Robot just because. I bet you wanna see it, too.
-
I'm up for more emotion without a doubt. In the last movie, you were expected to pay attention to the transformers as giant special effects and you couldn't really see them as characters. I think they will do great this time around though. Second times the charm.
-
Go watch Transformers: Animated to see how to write these the G1 'verse in a way that updates them in a clever manner, yet is still faithful to the core concepts, plot, characterizations, and aesthetic. Or that mature take on Transformers that Hasbro is planning on doing is G.I. Joe Resolute is successful (which it shall be).
-
thanks for the tip
-
C'mon, you know you were thinking it!
-
even if it has Megan Fox going down on and ox....oh wait maybe I would?
-
They are Mikey Bays', too. So you know we're all gonna get along. Bring on the Giant Robots there Mr Bay. We're waiting for mass mayhem, exploding tree trunks and witty metallic sayings. Make it happen there Sir. <p> And some GM product placement. Can't get enough of that myself ya know.
-
...and they all look the same during action shots.
-
is up on myspace page, url is www.myspace.com/martinjunior84. check it out and let me know what you think, thanks!
-
Ooooooooo. Naw. I'll wait til I see it on DVD or whatever later on.
-
I am going to hunt down Michael Bay and show him why they gave me the nickname of Uncle Dirty Fingers.
-
--and show you the reason why they all him Uncle Frankenheimer. Word.
-
"Not as good as X-Men 3" ???? Man, that's bad. THat's really bad. I really feel sorry for FOX on this one.
-
...is when I decided that I hated Michael Bay. Like one critic wrote at the time; "This is the kind of movie where a casually-tossed coin is photographed like it were Jupiter in 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's like using an exclamation point at the end of every sentence".
-
I hope it still has Megan fucking Fox.
-
guys are going to continue stealing ideas from Roland Emmerich for these transformers movies. In the first one it was independance Day (with the whole alien technology kept secret for decades in a secret location) and now it appears Stargate (since the transformers were on Earth in the past and were 'gods'). Just saying dude...when you start cribbing from Emmerich of all people...
-
Maybe he meant gas out? As in, to run out of cardio and gasp for air?
-
When the Sentinel would win his victory pose has him standing and all his mechanical parts expand and heat/gas is expelled from between the cracks. Yeah still sounds like farting I guess.
-
If Star Wars can feature farting aliens then why not Transformers 2? Oh Hollywood blockbusters, how I hate thee.
-
You warn of all these spoilers and then go on to describe everything we've already seen in the trailers. Either you haven't really seen the movie yet or FAIL on your shitty review.
-
for tf2 that was on chud (i know..eeewww) with the childrens coloring book that laid out the story and most major scenes? The story seems really stupid....
-
cube fragment left from the first movie once again turns things into transformers..this time kitchen appliances, why? fuck knows. And the Decepticons big plan? Apparantly to use one of the pyramids which transforms into a big gun, which they will use to blow up the sun....seriously, im not making any of this up...
-
Optimus combines with Jetfire, Megatron combines with "The Fallen". The Twins combine with each other, Arcee and her two sister have a three way combined mode, the Constructicons combine. Then at the end of the movie, Sam will combine with the girl. God help the people sitting in front of me in the theatre, cuase all this Robo sex is getting me all hawt up in here.

"What sick mother fucker thought having Optimus Prime shagging another robot would in any way be a good idea?" I did. I do. I've been waiting for a new genre of fetish porn to get this jaded pervert hot again. My day has come...or should I say...cum. No, I think it's spelled come. Yeah, it's definitely "come". My day has come. And, Mr. Nice Gaius, how can you even think that Transformer exhaust won't be farting? We shall see, we shall see. Besides, fart jokes ALWAYS work. Remember in Stargate, when the cow-beast farted? Hilarious. Remember in The Phantom Menace, when that camel-beast farted? Hilarious. The sweating doesn't bother me, either, because if all this robot sex is really gonna be going down, it's be perfectly normal for them to sweat during coitus. I know I would, if I ever engaged in coitus.
-
Haven't stopped since elementary school dude! Fart jokes rock! They never get old and all ages love them forever! Fart jokes!<p>As an aside and in all seriousness, I have found the best way to fart freely in public while having your own little 'inside joke'.<p>The idea is simple...any time you have to fart: clear your throat...you know...ahem...cough cough..ahem (those funny throat clearing sounds that don't lend themselves to instant phonetic translation) while you chuck wolf bait.<p>BUT!<p>The catch is you must never make throat clearing sounds that are louder than the fart itself. You must imply that your attempting to cover it up but you also must fail at doing so.<p>This way, when people stare at in shock behind your back, you can laugh all the way to fun town knowing you, in essence, punk'd everybody in assbelch sniff range.<p>Note: Do not perform this feat around people you are attracted too. Doesn't necessarily make for a good first impression.
-
Remember the "Simpsons" where Bart and Milhouse watched "South Park", and that was one of the characters? But come on, this film series already had an old black lady flipping the bird (Which is Homer's definition of 'quirky') and peeing robots. You can't expect too much highbrow from this series. And I hope Arcee is in it, only she probably won't have her pink color scheme.

Why not make them fart? The franchise has been wrecked anyway.
by hallmitchell
-
You are my hero. And apparently, so is Megan. But kill the photoshop dolt that bothered with the Supe outfit to begin with.
-
The Independence Day connection you made is kind of a stretch imo, but the Stargate one...are they putting in the story they were really being worshipped as Gods before? Haven't heard that one. I guess we'll find out Loch Ness was a dinobot, cropcircles were made by autobots, the statues on Easter Island were made for the Fallen, and the rocks at Stonehenge were just big dominoes/legos that ancient Decepticons left behind then. Sean Connery and that spinning coin are looking mighty good right now.
-
spitting, and all the other stuff? Seriously? Why would they need to do that?

Boy this is going to be stupid again isn't it?

I'm starting to think this movie is gunna be overkill...
by General_Veers
-
that was just an overkill version of the first was nt it? More explosions, more nudity, more sassy black stereotypes, higher body count. So i think we can safely assume that tf2 will just be like the first, just bigger, louder, and more of everything...except brain cells that is.
