It's just edited shorter like that for the spot but presumably it will be correct in the movie.
Also notice how Dreadbot doesn't have any of the Rusty van kibble in that scene?

As awkward as circumastances are ,it actually seems that this time they try to give Decepticons some characterisation.
I think it's the other way around with the humans making Megatron a deal.

Ah, ok
aye....i was wondering the name that Hooligan got his name changed to, thanks

Munkky wrote:Not really feeling the name "Dreadbot", it sounds like an early pre-production name. This is one of those instances where I wouldn't have minded a name-slap, even the name of some lesser known Armada Mini-Con would do.
His name was apparently supposed to be "Hooligan" but it was probably changed for the same reason Slag has been renamed into Slug since Hooligan is an inappropriate word in some places.
Dreadbot was probably made up in a hurry.

And im assuming that germany has similar laws to the US banning civilians from driving a car with the words "police" on it in the streets, so I doubt these cars were driven in. They even had the hoods up for display purposes so they were obviously towed in and parked with somebody's permission to attract business. Im calling fake on the whole police report thing. The cops were probably actors and towing the cars away was a big publicity stunt. Suprised you news guys believed this was a legit auto impounding. Cmon now...
'fraid it's real. Charges are listed, laws broken are listed, etc. and there's been nothing to the contrary. If this does indeed turn out to be confirmed as a big PR stunt, we'll post an updated story to reflect that - but right now, everything's saying this is real.
Should have linked the actual facebook post though. Editing!
Im still calling BS....
Even if thats the offical Facebook page of a particular German police department, a Facebook page is not a place for police to post pictures of actual "crime" photos no matter how funny the case might seem. It would have to be treated like any other regular case to avoid a potential lawsuit. I wouldnt rely on Facebook as an official format to find public records either. Can we get a case number from an offical German public records website ? Also if German laws are anything like American laws, you can put any type of modification on a car without fear of being "confiscated" as long as you dont actually drive it. Thats where we get the term "street legal". You see non-street legal cars being towed to car shows or race tracks all the time. The cars were parked with their hoods up for display. They can be ticketed for non-moving violations but will not be towed unless it is a parking violation. Among the humorous charges mentioned in the article, being illegally parked was not mentioned. Also among the four photos posted, not one of them has a police officer and the tow truck picture conveniently doesnt show the company name. And to make it even more ovious the cars are being carefully lifted on the tow truck by a crane. Such care isnt taken when you park illegally. Thats some expensive equipment surely used to transport showcars to specific locations. Here's my take on it: Some bored cop who happens to be a TF fan started taking pictures on duty and posted a humorous story on the departments Facebook page to have some fun. Real pictures, fake news...

It is! Which is why we set up a spoiler thread for those who may have read spoilers and want to discuss it before the more major worldwide release.

Btw wasn't the IMAX version for at least one of the films(could've been for more than one...not sure?) a couple of mins longer than the standard theatrical release?

I think it's being billed that way because it's Bay's last movie.

Right now, I'm waiting for another "Michael Bay changed his mind" news. I wonder what can it be this time
After 10 years, Transformers without Micheal Bay sounds almost too good to be true. Even if we are watining for a better director since before first movie was relased.

HELL NO! And I wouldn't want J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, or any other overrated self-important d-bag. Bring on someone who actually does science fiction for science fiction, not to try to simply achieve nerdgasms on screen. Too bad James Cameron is busy with the Avatar sequels.

Or if we wanted another director who specializes in stunning visuals (but coupled with an air of sophistication), Kenneth Branagh.

That... could work. Considering Wonder Woman is the first good DC movie in a while, she seems to have a thing for fixing long-running movie franchises based on other media

personally i reckon she should do a TF reboot movie - female led or not.
to be fair to michael bay, the first film was enjoyable and i think the FX work really did bring the concept to life. Unfortunately the franchise fell into a bigger faster more and more cycle that used to be a cliche in hollywood. Sequels have improved over the last decade and franchises have become enjoyable but not all are equal... For every Guardians of the Galaxy 2 there's Pirates...
I'd like a director who understands geek movies better - how characterisation, story and lore are all huge parts of the experience and not only action sequences.
I'll go and watch the last knight at the cinema with an open mind but low expectations. I'm very interested in watching a properly shot 3d movie and not one done in post... and if all else fails, hopefully Freya has some good screen time.

Plus, its hard to take his word for anything when he says Megatron is always sidelined by a more humanoid looking character and yet he shows Megatron as one of those humanoid looking characters. This is a nonsense review and it wasnt any fun to watch. I too could comment over trailers and just say what I am seeing.

I kinda think you missed the entire point of the video - like he said, it's more an experiment and a spin on his tradition of reviewing the live-action movies since he's tired of reviewing them. Heck, you're proving his point by saying he's just describing the trailers - because his point is that this movie is likely going to be the exact same thing as the last movies. The entire video describes what happened in the other four movies, with the only specific details being Walberg and Knights - which you could switch out respectively with LaBeouf and Dinosaurs/Ancient pyramids/whatever. And I wouldn't call it nonsense for just a single little detail that in all likelihood is just a mistake - if you're resorting to nitpicks when the rest of the video is sound and accurate, that sounds like you've got a pretty weak argument. Everything he's saying is correct, so why do you dismiss the entire argument because of one single picture?
And I've gotta say... yeah, I completely agree with the video. I was thinking of linking it since it's my exact thoughts -- the movies are all basically the same thing with only tiny details or superficial layers switched out. The video is a commentary on the current Hollywood structure and how movie franchises - including and in specific reference to Transformers - continue to be put out despite little to no effort and thought being put into them and providing nothing substantial that hasn't been seen in the first one.
And for what it's worth I thought it was pretty damn funny - Nostalgia Critic's whole deal is over-exaggeration of emotional reactions and describing things in a ridiculous and sarcastic manner. If it's not your thing, fine; but don't say it didn't attempt humour just because the jokes didn't land with you. I got a hell of a lot more entertainment out of this than anything in the movies, I'll say that much.
I'm also not really sure why you're linking a video just to say you didn't like it. If you're at least just linking it to say you disagree with it or there's something brought up you want to discuss, fine; but if you do believe the video is pointless and provides no useless commentary, then what on earth is the point of bringing it up here and ranting about it? I could do that with anything; I could find some random person who doesn't like IDW's Till All Are One and say that what they said is pointless on TAAO's thread, but what would be the point if they didn't bring up anything that I feel could contribute to the discussion?
