Thanks to the great guys over at TFW2005, we have the following scans and details from the latest issue of Empire Magazine. Check out the highlights below, and be sure to head on over to the site for more! Stay tuned to CBM for higher resolution versions of these scans as soon as they become available.



Does and Don'ts for TF3:

1. No sand
2. No "dorky" humor ("we wanted to make the movie much more serious, more adult)
3. When robots die, they're really going to die and we're gonna show that
4. We're not bringing people back
5. Give the robots more 'weight' in the story ("They were missed in movie two. We've given them a strong back-story and pathos")

Sentinel Prime is "A big brother and mentor to Optimus Prime"

The Ferrari is a 'Con who (Michael) bay is dubbing as 'Dreadbox'

New companions for Starscream, Shockwave and the rest

"The scale on one of them is jawdropping" - "It will be 'what the Hell was that thing?"

Apollo 11 'incident' show in the teaser is government secret

No army for this, Chicago is left up to the 'Bots but some heroes sneak in through the back-door so to speak

The human gliders are used because they slip under the 'Con radar - as do humans - so they'll be the people who can hammer it to the 'Cons and create an opening for the 'Bots









UPDATE: Empire have no released a hi-res version of the cover.






Starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Ken Jeong, Patrick Dempsey, Alan Tudyk and John Turturro, Transformers: Dark of the Moon opens in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D on July 1, 2011.

Thanks guys. :) I've never been a big fan of Transformers so found the past two movies enjoyable enough. I can understand why fans didnt though. As with the past two however, I'll be waiting for this to be released on blu-ray. Looks decent.

Comedian: Not yet. However, the fact that they're using an old image on the front cover (unlike the Conan one which I'm pretty sure is brand new) makes me think it'll probably be a roundup of the brief bits of Green Lantern news we've had the past couple of months.

Wait, how can Sentinel Prime be the "Big Brother" to Optimus Prime if Optimus was the last Prime alive in the second movie?

They are pulling some kind of Fox/X-men bull crap on this movie with all the non-continuity.

Sounds like #3 is going to be a vast improvement over the first two, which can only spell GREATNESS!!! The only thing is, why couldn't they realize this is what they needed to make the first two actually amazing - with depth and real emotion - WHILE they were making them?

Well I'm kinda dissapointed that GL isn't on the cover *well he is but its a image we already seen* but whatever. Transformers looks cool. :)

"It will be 'what the Hell was that thing?"


That's exactly what I thought about the entirety of Transformers 2.

spiderneil - 2/28/2011, 1:23 PM
the thing is an absolute MESS. you can't tell what the heck you are looking at and it's a STILL IMAGE, so goodness only knows what it will look like moving.

T3 is a miss for me. the action was a mess, the plot was none existent, it was stupid (let's RUN everywhere when our friends are CARS that change) and the twins made me want to punch michael bay in the mouth.

thor, cap and GL will tide me over till 2012 (spidey, bats 3 avengers and superman)


FRICK T3!!!

In part 2 the fallen mentioned that the last prime was dead (optimus in the forest). Why didn't the fallen sense sentinel prime?????? I hope they explain it in the movie.

in number 2 didn't they say optimus was the last prime.

continuity.......?

Maybe sentinel prime wasnt online during the events of the first two transformers movies. In my mind, this whole optimus sentinel mess can be explained by the possibility that while sentinel was up in his tomb on the moon be was really on standby and therefore the fallen or anybody else could not detect him.
Then there's the teaser trailer that shows sentinel waking up while Buzz and Neil explore the crashed autobot ship but what if that was just the editing making it seem like sentinel wakes up then. What if sentinel actually wakes up somehow in present day after the events of ROTF which would very nicely tie everything up and with a little more explaining in the movie we could find out why he was there on the moon, how everyone there died, and what caused him to wake up?

@Squibb and @ScottPilgrim:

well in the teaser for Dark of the Moon, Sentinel Prime is shown what looks like dead. Maybe in this one they bring him back, or something/one reactivates him, or something.
