Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Transformers 3)


Recommended Posts

If Michael Bay's Transformers 3 film has anything to do with the tie-in video game being developed for it, then it looks like some of the film will take place in Cybertron, the home planet of the Autobots and Decepticons. We also have some concept art of what it might look like.

The Concept art comes from artist Frankell Baramdyka and he posted a ton of the concept art for his work on the video game up on his blog. We have no idea if any of this reflects the movie's storyline but it definitely gives you a look at the direction they are going with Cybertron if it does.

I find it interesting that none of the concept art shows anything that has to do with planet earth, however we know that the film is shooting an a few different locations for big action sequences, but whose to say the story doesn't move to Cybertron? It makes sense that they would move in that direction. As silly as these Transformers films are it might be cool to take it to another world.

The artwork depicts a jungle type planet and a city in Cybertron called Lithos. There is a strong possibility that the movie will give us more of a background story on the Transformers. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, in meantime check out some of this great video game concept art below.

Sam's dad, Ron Witwicky, may not be in the third movie! The Hollywood Reporter mentions that actor Kevin Dunn is in negotiations to reprise the role in Transformers 3 ? but it's not a sure thing, because of contractual issues and the fact that Dunn is co-starring in a new HBO series. Is there even any point in making a third film without Dunn? I mean, it's really all about the characters. [THR via TLAMB]

There's a call for extras (paying $200 a day) and the most notable thing is Josh Duhamel isn't listed among the film's stars. Is he not coming back? Would you be able to tell? [CinemaBlend]

I would totally be an extra.

Josh Duhamel, who played Captain William Lennox in the first two Transformers movies, confirmed that his next movie will be Transformers 3. He said he just read the script and was impressed by how it deepens the mythology of the universe. When asked whether this meant Dinobots would be in the third movie, he said he couldn't answer that question.

I can't believe Michael Bay is still directing after Revenge of the Fallen.

Perhaps this is his revenge? Because he fell hard on his ass when the sequel came out.

I don't think he would just stop making Transformers films because people went all hate on him, I would want to make another to win people back

What are you talking about? Revenge for what? Producing and directing a movie that made millions of dollars? Yea, I'm sure I'd pretty ****ed off, too! :rolleyes: Just like your jokes, your post makes no sense.

Money doesn't make a good film. The first Transformers really kicked ass. I was really in utter disappointment on how the narration took place on the sequel, it's almost as if the story didn't even matter. So much nonsense taking place and the last part of the film was nothing but a ad campaign for the U.S Forces and GM.

Michaelbay.com was updated this morning, with Bay writing that he has ?just locked in? Frances McDormand and John Malkovich as cast members for Transformers 3. According to Deadline, McDormand will have a major role in the film as the National Intelligence Director, while Malkovich will play ?Shia?s character?s first boss.? Those who think that the casting of McDormand and Malkovich represent an upgrade in terms of acting pedigree for this series should remember: these are the films that cast Cannes Best Actor award-winner John Turturro and forced him to a) Get ****ed on by a robot, and b) Show his ass cheeks for no reason whatsoever.

The film will be shot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China, with pre-shoots beginning in about a month. Ken Jeong of Knocked Up and Hangover fame has also been cast. I assume that hilarity (and potentially offensive Asian stereotypes) will ensue.

You know what, I agree with you and it's why I believe the 3rd one will really make up for the 2nd.

these are the films that cast Cannes Best Actor award-winner John Turturro and forced him to a) Get ****ed on by a robot, and b) Show his ass cheeks for no reason whatsoever.

Apparently, that was John's idea. lol

Apparently, a good film made money. (see what I did there?) You're making the same complaints that people made about the first one. To be honest, I can't see anyone making Transformers as good or better than Bay managed to get.

I'm really wondering what people will complain about when the 3rd comes out.

That's debatable, allot of people who saw the first went to go see the second only to be disappointed. Mind you Bay had limited resources with what he could do with the first one.

The action scenes were great in the sequel it's just that there's allot of mindless BS between Shia and Megan and their half baked relationship. Then there's those two small autobots were down right offensive at times, and most importantly very little attention was payed to at the fallen.

And what was with all those explosions every second at the end. You'd think they came out of nowhere.

IMO it was a mindless action movie, good thing it wasn't my time to spend my dimes.

Offensive how? Seems to be another part of the movie that people are split on. Either they love or hate them. You're right about The Fallen, though. They should have gave him more attention.

A day after Michael Bay announced that John Malkovich and Frances McDormand are joining this film, news is leaking out about whom they're playing ? Malkovich is Sam Witwicky's first boss. And McDormand has a "big role" as the National Intelligence Director. [Deadline]

I think Transformers is totally in need of a new director and a reboot already. I want James Cameron or Ridley Scott

Really? :p

that there's not enough Megan Fox :p

Ah...Megan,

Who remembers the collective "oooooh" and shuffling around by all men in the audience when she appeared on screen, draped over the bike :D

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
