Pepsiman98:
now THAT, must have been real scary. now i know why their fear on screen looks so real. it is real. The Primes:
This just proves what everyone's been thinking. Bay's insane. 
But then again, so am I. GW_Freak:
Next time bay's going to forego blanks and pyrotechnics and just go all out with live ammo and his own personal arsenal.

THIS is why Michael Bay was the right man to helm Transformers. optimusprime42: Quote:

Black Oracle:
Perhpas Shia may think twice about doing a third TFs movie if the action and danger increases with each sequel?
Bottom Out:

Blackout:
I can not wait to see Devastator in this. They'll need all that fire power to take him on.

kingdom2000:
Isn't the article just recycling direct qoutes from one of the USA Today articles without giving proper credit? AKA utter BS to try and generate traffic.
Banzaitron45:
This is going to be a good movie.

Here, I'm not sure it's necessary. I mean, sure, we the audience enjoy it, but if the actors aren't having fun going to work (not saying they aren't having fun, but it could quickly become a negative experience for them) then is it really worth it?
I fail to see any win in that. Besides, after seeing several of Shia's movies (with or without TFs included) I can honestly say the guy can act. Sure he's got some goofiness in every part, but it works. He has no need for genuine fear, he can convey it without having it.
Megan Fox, on the other hand...she needs a bit of polishing on her skills, but she's getting there, and scaring the shit out of her isn't going to help. Quote:

Any other TF universe ...also not so much.
That's not knocking him. I like the Bayverse TFs, I really do. But they're clearly his, all his, and while it works for the most part, it does leave something to be desired. (such as character background...) Quote:

If you've missed the Entertainment Tonight segments (I think even The Insider had some as well), they show the Egypt battle being filmed and it's just wall to wall, balls to the wall insane. Explosions, gunfire (which as Shia mentioned, blanks loads can kill you) planes flying overhead, etc.
He's not hyping a damn thing. It was jawdroppingly awesome, and I can't wait to see the finished product, but I think going to the extreme of actually frightening them is just a bit too far.
Charlize Theron did all of her own stunts for Aeon Flux (which, isn't as bad as critics claim...) and nearly broke her own neck. Scared her so bad that she had a clause put in her contract that she won't do stunts anymore.
Too much is too much.
SPLIT LIP:
I believe this article. When you see how much is fake and how much is real, and then you notice the little people running around while busses are blowing up and cars are flying into building five stories up, it's pretty trippy.
Doug:
I wonder did LaBeouf and Fox wearing earplugs during the explosions?

Did He ever explain why he constantly says no no no no no. All the time?
You would think with as much money as that kid is making He could spend some of it on acting classes Quote:

Bgrngod:
Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Bishop - "As far as I know, this is the biggest joint military operation movie ever made, in terms of Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. I can't think of one that's bigger."
This is why Bay is perfect for directing these movies. If anyone needed to take care of making big ass explosions in a film, he's the man. I'm sure he has a ton of fans in the armed forces, else he might not get this kind of access and cooperation. Delta: Quote:

Nah, even robots are better with explosions.

Now, onto the other part of your ...post.
The robots aren't there until they're added in with the digital animators. The pictures we're seeing are of the filming process before any special effects are added in. I'd say the explosions are special effects, but since they actually happened right then and there, I don't consider them effects.
If we saw the robots in these pictures...um...well as neat as that'd be, it's literally impossible.

Wow, so another Website just copied a section from the USA Today article and made it their own news. ROFL. I wonder if Michael Bay used these kind of "Scare Tatics" on his previous movie sets?
