Enjoy guys.  

 

wow. kinda brings tears to my eyes,. dreams coming true. wishing i was there

 

20-21ish girl with boob tatoo, anyways, maybe these cars were made by the Allspark activating them into robots liek the toasters and such.

They look crazy, which is neat.

Why is the little girl near the ammo table?

 

I don't think it'd be the AllSpark. That thing's other and done with, if it's still in TF3, I'll be disapointed. I'd like to think it's the Stunticons. And as for the little girl... Bring you're daughter to work day?  

 

Security's really lacking in Chicago - but I'm glad, this'll hopefully be an awesome chase scene and not too fast like the Bonecrusher scene.

 

Here's a thought, maybe the cars are from Prime's massive trailer like Roller.

Sure, all the guns really don't seem much like an Autobot trait, but neither does face ripping or executing injured helpless enemies.

Of course, my thoughts are that they are likely Stunticons, but who knows?

 

Those videos were sick! Thanks for posting them.

 

Wouldn't mind them been front paged though.

My friend said he saw a video of the black flatnosed truck that's presumably Motormaster. I'm scouting YouTube for it now.

I personaly am not up for the idea of them been Autobots. But Decepticons, yes, Stunticons, perfect.

 

Those ammo belts are probably blanks, but that doesn't take away from the fact those are ACTUAL WORKING GUNS on the racecars. Which is incredibly awesome.

 

They are blanks... there aren't even bullets in the casings.

 

That was a great scene, but all of this in a city with race cars with rocket launchers and gatteling guns? Hell yeah!

 

you mean this one i took? not video.
but yeah it's probably a generator truck as other people have guessed. who knows.

semi on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

 

That was you? Great shot man!  
But yes, that same truck, but there was a video of it.

 

Every lead up to these movies is the same mixture of fanboyish excitement and looming dread knowing the movie isn't going to be anywhere near as good as I'd hope. The OP's 1st and 5th clips are perfect examples.

That first clip? Prime? Awesome! Trailer? Aw yeah! Whipping hard around that tight corner? Wow! The explosion? See that trailing contrail showering sparks like a low-flying fireworks display? Every single explosion Michael Bay has ever filmed has one of those, usually shown in slow-motion. Boring.

The fifth clip? Car chase? Awesome. And that shot from the office window is a really good shot with each character passing by. Did you see the camera car in front? The one with the rig arching over the hood of the car behind it? The one taking the same shot that's in every car commercial ever or every Michael Bay car chase ever filmed? Again, boring.

It's just when I see Bay's same tricks over and over and over and over again, it saps any excitement I have about another TF movie. And I really want to be excited. I love TFs. It's just that the movies are so visually uninteresting and the stories so poorly cobbled together that I just know that another lackluster installment is coming...

 

i dunno im starting to think more and more those nascar bots are autobots or somthing it dosentmake sense how close all the autobots are chasing them... i dunno thats my thought

 

I think the three cars are Decepticons. Autobots won't be that threating. Those that think they are moving too slow, most chases in movies are done between 45 - 60 MPH. Sound effects and the framing of the camera will make it "look" much faster. Remember the camera you were looking at these scenes are produced at 29 FPS and film is @ 24 FPS.

Okay here's my view on this. In the end, about 99% of us (including those that complain) will see this movie because

A - You are a Transformers fan, and that's how we roll
B - You liked the first two and you cant wait for the next one
C - You want to make an educated argument for your disapproval of the film

The same tactics you reference are used in a lot of commercials, movies, etc. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's his formula, and he sticks with it. He just edits those moments better than most.

I admit, these clips dont show squat, but I am excited knowing that a franchise dear to me has something going on and a lot of people are going to be (hopefully) entertained by it.

 

YouTube - Transformers 3 - Optimus Prime with trailer in Chicago Here's another showing off the sheer size of Prime now. Damn he's huge.

 

Not trying to be an ass but some of you need to check the news forum more often, there's a ton of videos on there already, and most of these are there.

Hate to burst the bubble, this thread was up first.  

Exactly. Most on set shots show nothing, but it's nice to see and specualte over new Transformers and what they're doing.

 

Look at the dates again on the first post of each topic. Point is, we should try and keep things organized for mods and for other member to have a main place to check for new videos.
