When producer Tom DeSanto first spoke to Empire about Transformers, long before filming even began, he was raving about the prospect of seeing a car chase turn into a fistfight between two giant robots barrelling along at 60mph. This moment is what he must have been thinking of: a titanic, jaw-dropping struggle on a freeway between Decepticon Bonecrusher and the heroic Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. And, after they fall off the edge of one freeway onto another, Prime shows why he’s the big man on campus by grabbing Bonecrusher in a headlock and, deploying a nifty hidden sword, spikes it unceremoniously into the evil robot’s head. Technobrains everywhere. The message is clear: do NOT fuck with Optimus Prime.
