....I guess they really are pushing this, ad-wise.

Basically just the two halves to the MySpace site, then.

They're pretty nifty though - they got Megatron from his more photogenic side.

And lo, there was much whoring.

Quite a neat and simple concept though.

Look more like game renders than metal.

They seem to have filled in and helmeted Megatron more, though. And the advertising onslaught is nice to see.

Wonderfully detailed. I anticipate this film more and more.

Anyone notice the tribal symbols on them?

The man with whom I write my Myspace blog now has to admit that maybe other people like Transformers too. We live in South Africa. People don't think that there were any robots beyond the mechs from Robotech. There was a whole lot of Robotech here. I think it was the only cartoon they had. Also, Knight Rider. KITT was kind of like a robot.

Execellent! Can't wait for these posters to start popping up in cinemas soon!

Optimus and Megatron both look very well detailed, which is always a good sign!

To Terome:

In the third grade I met a kid who came from South Africa. We talked about airwolf. Got any Airwolf fans there now?

Love them! Prime's face model looks great...even the token battle scaring above the eye is a nice touch. Not too keen on the old Megs head, but I prefer the profile view to what we've seen so far!

I was going to mention Airwolf in my last post, but that would just be
too typical. They love it over here. They love it like the British of my generation love Roland Rat and Look-In. You see, (OFF TOPIC) on Friday nights, they would have the Action slot for the whole family to flip out too. Friday night was a pinata of a timeslot. Once it was smashed right open, anything could spill out. Sometimes it was the A-Team. Sometimes it was Knight Rider. Sometimes it was Airwolf. There were others. They repeat these shows endlessly to this day. We only have four free channels, and two of them are entirely English. It's weird to see ALF in Zulu.

You can pretty much tell the difference between the people who reckoned The A-Team was the best Friday night entertainment from the people who thought the same of Airwolf. It's the way they stand, the way they dress.

It's not their fault. They only got television in 1975. Facist government and all that.

But yeah! Protect! Destroy! Seems more tied in to the game than the movie, but I'm looking forward to the game more anyway.

You know, I must confess, this may possibly be my favorite picture of movie Megatron that I have seen so far.

This is the first really deatiled picture of the eyes, too. Very very cool! I love how the light, or whatever, buldges out so that it actually looks like an eyeball.

Excellent work ILM!

Anyone have any idea what the "Transform your photos" is all about? when i click the link it just takes me to the main page.

Post by **Denyer** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 3:20 pm

Merged, since it's a unified ad campaign.

Post by **Denyer** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 3:28 am

Myspace are also pushing this in their announcements, so a lot of people will see...

Latest Update: Mar 29, 2007 6:00pm, PST

Heya the photo albums I was promising are finally here! thx to the people behind the Transformers movie for sponsoring the launch of this feature! Their support allowed us to bring you this new addition to MySpace!

When you go into Edit Photos you'll see that you can either create an album by clicking a link, or create an album as you upload the photos. Next week we'll have the multi pic photo uploader and the photo arranger to completely transform your photo experience on myspace.

Check out the Transformer movie trailer if you haven't seen it, it looks sooo good!

you have to click your edit/add photes and follow info from there. I haven't done it so can't really say what it does.
