Four "Transformers" Clips Unveiled at Toy Fair
Michael Bay and his various Hasbro buddies descended upon the Toy Fair recently, and they brought with 'em a quartet of unfinished scenes from their "Transformers" movie. No, the clips aren't online yet, but I do know of someone who'll describe 'em for you.
ComingSoon.net's Edward Douglas is the man on the case, and he breaks down all four scenes in pretty solid detail right here. The last one sounds particularly flashy: "The fourth clip took us back to Qatar where Josh Duhamel and the Special Ops team were running through the desert being chased by something, which turned out to be a giant mechanical scorpion, Scorponok from the Beast Wars era, which had been deployed by Blackout in the opening scene! It burrows through the desert sands, coming out to attack the soldiers with its deadly tail stinger, and the men run for cover in a nearby village as Scorponok continues to attack with its rockets. As the fight continues, a mysterious jet plane approaches the scene, as men in a war room watch the events unfold, one of them being Jon Voight's Keller, who seems like a government official of some kind. This jet may have been Starscream, though it starts shooting at Scorponok and doing a good deal of damage, as the robot burrows back into the ground, leaving a piece of its tail behind."

Jets, robots, scorpions and Jon Voight? Sounds good to me! Click here for (a whole lot) more, including some new information on Activision's upcoming tie-in video game.
Bay's "Transformers" opens on July 4.

on Feb 15 2007 05:36 AM Michael Bay, does that mean I'm gona have to sit through twenty slow motion shots of the frickin US flag flappin in the breeze? How about a slow mo of a redneck shooting his gun and prayin to Jesus or a family of poor people living out of a shopping trolley, something that really captures the heart of the Great States!

on Feb 15 2007 11:30 AM oh, i think this thing will be extremely entertaining... but it's still going to blow. Of course i'll be seeing it opening night. I think that Tyrese shoudl bust into a ballad in the middle though... you know, for the ladies. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 15 2007 06:24 PM I'm definatly going it, it will be awsome but I get such high hopes for these movies I'm almost always disapointed. Except Batman Begins and Spiderman of course. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 16 2007 09:09 AM Hope it doesen't becomes the big-budget flick and disappoints everyone like fantastic four did. Fantastic four was sooooooooooooo bad, it made me mad. The filmmakers gave the F.F cartoon a bad name by making such a crappy movie. (Reply to this) |
