Transformers Go To Russia
And Chicago for third outing

Transformers Go To Russia

Well, it looks like Red Square and the Sears Tower are the next global landmarks facing swift and explosive destruction at the hands of Michael Bay and his enormous robot troops, with the news that Transformers 3 is set to film in Moscow and Chicago.

The sequel, which is set for July 2011, starts shooting in May, with Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf returning to play the hapless humans running away from rampaging robots (probably carrying a Macguffin) and Ehren Kruger writing the script (not joined this time by original screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman). Bay has previously promised that this one will not go for more and bigger explosions, instead delving into the Transformers' mythos and becoming "darker". We'd still bet Grandma on there being a fair whack of destruction though, so remember that "fewer explosions" is relative.

So what do you want to see in the third film? 3D? Unicron? Dino-bots? Speak your brain below.

Dinobots! What about hot rod aka Rodimus Prime?
How can no one of mentioned Hot rod? He is the one that opened up the matrix and became a prime in the original Transformers movie! Also what about galvatron? there are so many that real Transformer fans want to see, where could dinobots fit in with a story set in this day and age? Jurrasic park meets Transformers! I don't think so. ... Read More

RE: Transformers Go To Russia
What I'd like: less stereotypes, less American Pie humour, less ogling of strumpet, more coherence, more emphasis on plot rather than explosions. What we'll get: more stereotypes, more dog fucking jokes, more old-people-taking-drugs jokes, more explosions, less plot, less coherence, more ogling.  ... Read More

I want..
Something brutal, none of this group of soliders who are just basic marine's survivng to appeal to the hero factor and some kick ass deceptions getting destroyed (brings a tear to the eye). What I want is unwavering realistic story which isn't just a boring tedious storyline fleshed to introduce some really really bad stereotyped opticons (though that just seems impropable in a fictional robot bashing film that wants to appeal to the kids and all audiences). I want big explosions that have a... Read More

RE: Transformers Go To Russia
Please leave those obnoxious twins robots out of this one and that sidekick Leo, keep Shia and Meghan of course, bring back Jon Voight, more Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, more Bumble Bee, more Megatron vs. Optimus. Can you imagine Optimus saying NYET! Transformers in the Kremlin, sounds interesting. ... Read More

Unicron, I dont think so!
I dont see how Bay can use Unicron in the 3rd Transformers film when he has made a complete joke out of the only thing that can destroy him, the Matrix! The original concept in the G1 series is that Optimus is only the leader of the Auto bots (Ranked - Prime) as he has the matrix which is the only thing that can kill Unicron. As the Matrix tory is now different it wont really work, i hope they dont make the 3rd film silly like the 2nd, i wanna see more of Prime kicking butt not standing ... Read More

Transformers 3 - Darker Territory?? HELL YEAH!!!
Right..ever since being a kid, Transformers has ALWAYS been a must for a movie. Now since Bay's directorial interpretation of them made most male 30 somethings almost drool in their sleep, its been one explosion leading to a bigger exposion..and then you have Revenge of the Fallen!! It lacked that certain something...A STORY!! There were so many pot holes in that movie it made me cringe when it finished! If this is a series of movies made for fans the why dont Bay listen to fans? just because he... Read More
