Transformers 2 begins

[Si Veteran]

Devastator

There is some controversy over his name: the toys and video games list his name as Brawl, but in the film itself, and the official movie novelization, his name is Devastator. He refers to himself as Devastator in the movie subtitles. According to Roberto Orci, one of the writers of the movie, and Hasbro's Transformers team, "Devastator" is the mistake, and that the character is supposed to be named Brawl. The official names of all the Transformers seen in the film were confirmed in August of 2006, nearly a year before the film's North American release date. However, director Michael Bay was not fully aware of these names and sometimes referred to some of them by their "on-set names". (He said in an interview, that he often referred to Frenzy as "Soundbyte".) Thus, on-set he would refer to the tank Decepticon as "Devastator". Somehow, the name made its way into the final cut of the film. Director Michael Bay favored the name Devastator, as he felt that it sounded more threatening than Brawl. [2] The early leaked script Prime Directives had him named Devastator, as does the Titan UK magazine. Concept art for the character named him "Demolishor", as the name Brawl (in concept art) went to Blackout.

Human perception is that large bodies, elephants, whales etc. move slowly therefore zoomed out shots didn't look right (real) and were changed to close-up ones for more realism, it's mentioned in the making of features.

I think the Unicron wars would be great as the end of the trilogy, so we'll be waiting until 2011/12 for that one ;)

Philadelphia's KYW Newsradio 1060 has posted an interview with Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Great Philadelphia Film Office, that seems to confirm Transformers 2 shooting will take place in the city. Here's a clip:

"Dream of the Romans" has been shooting. 'Tenure", "Happy Tears", and "Marly and Me" are upcoming as is Transformers II. But won't giant robots wreck the place????

"Ha, ha. Let's just say the destruction part is going to be digitally enhanced."

Otherwise, there goes the neighborhood.

Well, they still might be, but the first film generally gave the impression that Sam has never had a girlfriend, although it wasn't stated.

Funny you say that I am close to buying a HD TV so I can come back soon and say that :p but I have watched Heroes and Lost in 720p before.

Man, that's exactly what I picture a real Transformer would look like. Not all scrappy like in Bay's movie.

(Y) thats how I felt about their movie looks also.
