Transformers 3 Production News and War for Cybertron

You are listening to All Things Transformers.

Maximals, maximize! Welcome to all things transformers

episode 40. I'm your host Steve Megatron Phillips

and no I'm not joined by like TFG one blancher

today because well It's probably about 630 in

the morning and it's on Monday March 1st and

Yeah, he's not awake. So I just I really wanted

to record something so This being the only show

that really I could do on my own Besides headshot

or whatnot. I decided to do an all things transformers,

especially since we haven't had a new episode

in the last few weeks So yeah, I don't have any

discussion for this episode this one will primarily

be News based at least until We get more call

ins or questions or until I get a mic back on

the show uh... probably for the next episode

or so but um... for now I actually am going to

pull up some news uh... there's a lot of Transformers

3 like tidbits anyway there's not really like

a whole lot of information but uh... I will read

and report on what I have found Some of it's

a couple days old, whatever. I'm pulling this

out of my ass last minute, so you'll have to

bear with me. Transformers 3 to film in Chicago

and Moscow. Nelson has posted an update on Michael

Bay's Shoot for the Edit website with an update

about the shooting locations for Transformers

3. According to Nelson, some big action sequences

will be shot in Chicago and Moscow this time

around. There's a lot of speculation on whether

the Autobots will have their big showdown with

the Decepticons in Russia at the climax or Opening

act will visit Shanghai like in Revenge of the

Fallen or Yeah, I just don't know what to think

about this yet. There's too little information

So far right now. It's all just little bits of

news Not really much there to go on But it is

cool to see them still sticking with at least

one US location. Yes, and then I'm skipping over

all of the comic and toy news because, quite

frankly, I don't really keep up on that. because

there's so many to keep track of. But there is

a Transformers War for Cybertron gameplay trailer.

GameTrailers .com has put up the latest Transformers

War of Cybertron trailer. This trailer was shown

on GTTV earlier, 2206010, and gives us our first

look at the gameplay with this new game. Gameplay

looks to be fast -paced with the main character

on the Autobot side and the trailer being Optimus

Prime. Bumblebee, and Ratchet. The Decepticons

are Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave. There's

also footage of some huge boss battles including

Omega Supreme and a massive Decepticon who just

might be a new rendition of Scorponok. There's

not really much that can be said about this trailer.

You just have to go check it out over at GameTrailers

.com. I actually went to my local GameStop yesterday

and was looking through and they have pre -orders

up for the game right now and it says summer

of 2010 and I thought that was pretty cool to

see. The box has like the exclusive, you know,

try and register now to get Shockwave for downloadable

content but Yeah, so you can at least do that

at this point in time There's not an actual release

date yet, it just says summer so Yeah, be sure

to check that out look for it look for all information

on this this looks to be a badass game I'm curious

whether to it's going to be a paid Subscription

game to play online or if you're gonna be able

to play it on your hard drive and online for

free or whatnot uh... only time will tell uh...

the impression from kotaku dot com also has uh...

has this to say of the game it says the goal

is not to make the best transformers game ever

the goal was to make a great game that was a

transfer scheme and it also includes uh... the

jets of obviously star screen but it also has

jet fire uh... Yeah, there's a bunch of awesomeness

in this involved in this game, so be sure to

go check out all the information on it over there

More Transformers 3 news. Michael Bay talks.

Transformers 3 promises new characters and twists.

It seems Michael Bay was a guest star in Stars

in the House, and true to form, he took a little

time out to talk about his upcoming projects,

including Transformers 3. Since he was tight

-lipped about specific plans, he revealed that

yes, himself and Paramount was experimenting

with 3D for some Transformer scenes. He wants

to see how it will look for his footage and lots

of particles coming out of the frame And of course

he also teased on adding new characters and a

new story revelation Although he's not giving

anything away We're adding a lot of elements

new elements. We're adding new characters. We're

adding a lot of twists. Those are his exact comments

The full article is over at MTV movies blog I

think it's pretty cool that there's some new

TF3 news and especially from the director. Although

everything that comes out of his mouth, you have

to take it with a grain of salt because not everything

is actually, I don't know, it's going to happen

in some form or another but you're just going

to have to ignore the fact that It's all going

to be tight -lipped until that time. So just

keep checking back for more information on the

TF3 news. I'm not quite sure what to think of

the Transformers 3 at this point. There's not

really anything to go on like I said before.

Something I still would be interested in to see.

Hopefully they do a lot better than Revenge of

the Fallen. This movie was pretty piss poor in

my opinion. And it wasn't just the whole killing

off Prime, just to bring him back, which has

been a reused plot device. I mean, granted, it

worked flawlessly in the 86 movie. But every

instance since then, they've killed him off just

as, oh, we need to kill somebody off, that's

kind of important, and so we'll kill Prime. And

then we'll bring him back, because, yeah, that's

the way we function. That's just retarded. there

there's no reason to have had him die unless

he was going to stay dead in the films so but

yeah that was retarded uh... they kinda want

up to make it facts with the robo chick uh...

so yeah that was that was kinda There's also

that 30 minute running through the desert scene

trying to get from one side to the other to get

to Prime's body That was the most retarded part

of the entire movie in my opinion besides the

Devastator balls they got shot shot with a rail

gun so Yeah, if they could do without Any more

like robo balls or robo pissing and actually

get to real humor instead of this, you know,

organic type humor that would function better

on people. And please no more Agent Simmons ass

in this movie. That was another pet peeve of

mine. But also do away with all the slow, slow

running across, you know, somewhere to get to

somewhere else. wasting 30 minutes that could

have been summed up in 10 but anyways that was

about my only complaints with that movie other

than that it was pretty good but I hope that

the third movie is much better and I'm just wondering

whether they're going to tie it up in this third

movie or if they're going to drag it on but only

time will tell Another bit of Transformers 3

news. Rumor Ray Park may get a role in Transformers

3. Reporting on this movie, Jen Left Lane News

reports that Ray Park of Darth Maul, Toad, and

Snake Eyes fame may also have a role in Transformers

3. The article only states that Park is expected

to have a lead role, so take this as a rumor

for now and everybody's wondering whether Ray

Park will play a human or will he be providing

a voice for a Transformer? Hopefully if he's

a Transformer, he's like somebody kick -ass,

like maybe, you know, Bludgeon or somebody who's

a little bit of a ninja. That would be kind of

cool to see. If not, hopefully he's just a kick

-ass military guy, although I can't see what

point it would be having somebody like that in

the movie. That, as a human, because they, granted,

are kind of important, but don't really push

the story along and they can't really hurt the

robots on their own, so it's not... I don't know.

I would rather see him as a robot of some sort.

But anyways, I think that ties it up for the

news. There is one thing I want to comment on

and I want to get a bit of... I'd like to get

listener voicemails and emails. You can send

the emails to podcast at PredaconEmpire .com

uh... that's where you can send the emails or

you can send them to steve at geekcastradio dot

com uh... one of the two uh... also uh... you

can you can give uh... jeez this is kind of turning

into a clusterfuck it always does when i by myself

go figure uh... yes uh... You can call the voicemail

line 502 -526 -5821, or also send a file to tfg1podcast

at gmail .com. Send us something, somewhere,

in some medium. Or even comment on predaconimepair

.com slash nexus for the forums. I was in FIE

the other day, I was just burning time because

my wife was getting a haircut or something. So

I was looking at all the TV shows, all the DVDs,

and I came across a group of guys talking about

basically how Transformers and all other robot

deviations came from Astro Boy. I do not think

this is entirely true. I think there were other

forms of this kind of medium before that or around

it. I don't know, I just, it was kind of irritating.

They were like, oh, without Astro Boy, you wouldn't

have Transformers, you wouldn't have this, that.

I still think it would be around, regardless

if Astro Boy was around or not. Somebody would

have thought of robots at some point. I mean,

hell, every show with sci -fi in it has featured

some form of it or another. I don't know, I'm

just looking for your comments and justifications

and if I'm wrong, I mean just go ahead and tell

me. Just post it in like an email or send a voicemail.

I guess that will do it for now. I actually know

that there's more to come on the site of GeekCastRadio

as well as PredaconEmpire .com. I've been lazy

with Predacon Empire for the late couple weeks.

I have been busy, however, so bear with me there.

I do plan to do more updates there. I do plan

to reformat part of the site and redo it. So,

yeah. But as for Keycast Radio, we had recently

an issue with somebody with name change and whatnot

not going into it here. because frankly I don't

want to get back into it. It was in Headshot

31 if you want more information. As for the rest

of GeekCast Radio, I believe this week we have

a new M -Wire, we have a new Tooncast, new Secret

Origins podcast, We'll have a new beast unleashed

later this week recorded anyway New toy cast

I'm sure a headshot will come at some point this

week Not quite sure what else is coming but rest

assured there will be some awesomeness coming

in the near future I guess so that I don't ramble

on too much longer I'm just going to sign off

If anybody's a fan of because I'm trying to get

rid of this For I don't know 20 bucks with shipping

or without shipping or something. I don't know

Anywhere from 20 to 30 somewhere. I'm looking

to get rid of my Batman the animated series season

1 brand new in the box I bought it on eBay and

Now I'm stuck with it even though I've got the

complete series coming my way. So if anybody

is interested in Batman the Animated Series,

please let me know. Again, email to the other

places. So for now, this is Steve Megatron Phillips,

signing off. I'll be listening to all things

Transformers, till all are one. This is Stan

Bush, signing off. Hahaha, yeah! I wish to speak

to my lawyer.
