    Very true...and the outside/location filming with human characters is usually done long before the CGI..don't forget that :popcorn

    There's about maybe a 3-6 months average for filming of most productions. I think the first Iron Man was 4 months give or take a few days. It could take a week to film just a few scenes but that doesn't mean that's all that's being filmed, a lot of movies have more than one unit fiming scenes at the same time to save time and to get it to post faster. Action and special effect heavy movies use this the most because there is a lot of filming needed that does not require either the main actors or even the lead director.

    Transformers 3: Electric Boogaloo :p 

    But Im quite suprised at how quick the filming has taken, either its gonna be very tidy or very shit. From prier knowledge of Bay films I may have to lean towards the latter :[

    true true, but knowing bay he probably would want a giant ass decepticon over a giant autobot anyday. and there are tons of railways in the Mideast, so lots of possible filming areas for him (especially Chicago). Astrotain was a g1 character so y not give him a movie character.

    now after i read your post, its got me thinking that maybe the shuttle is a decepticon and not an autobot if the shuttle is a transformer at all. plus the shuttle was never confirmed to be an autobot, i think it would be interesting now if it turned out to be a decepticon :eek:

    Niice. I think he also does it in the G1 Cartoon -- Attack from Atlantis, or something. Megs teams up with the cartoon's version of the Atlanteans, telepathic sea-water breathing humanoids, and take over Washington.

    I really hope it's not rushed like ROTF... But still cool news I guess. Looking forward to the trailer during the Super Bowl next year.

    I highly doubt it will be rushed like TF:2. Bay admitted ROTF could have been better and I'm getting a good feeling about the third installment, ok Hasbro might have got more involved and we know Bay won't bend over and take it... that said, I think he will personally make sure TF:3 is a better movie than its predecessor. Lookin foward to a trailer though!

    I think they've said threy're not really doing tripple changers in the films. (Aside from Meg's space tank-jet.) Plus, in reality I don't think most trains actually scale up with space suttles.
    Unless movie Astrotain were to pull some kind of accordion effect with multiple train cars, to make up for the mass difference.

    ROTF was started late and ended late. They filmed all the stuff in middle east in late oct-nov. If I recall.

    This one is definitely not rushed, although I was thinking it would stretch to mid Nov.
