We recently posted the third exclu­sive BD Live clip, “We’re going to die”, but it had no sound, instead replaced by an atro­cious high pitched squeal. Here’s a quick update with proper audio via Trailer Addict. We’ll refrain from com­ment­ing on the irony of the title in com­bi­na­tion with the three sur­viv­ing (and com­ing out seem­ingly unharmed) what would ordi­nar­ily be a fatal crash.

As expected, the toy video reviews for the Mud­flap & Skids Ice Cream truck and the red Arcee motor­cy­cle have been posted by Peaugh. These two toys rep­re­sent the full scale of the Trans­form­ers 2 toy line — from awe­some must buy to the strange and odd (and ulti­mately pass).

Arcee

Game trail­ers have posted two video game walk­throughs, firstly a three minute illus­tra­tion of the Deep Six level, in which you play as Starscream. Sec­ondly some of the mul­ti­player action.

The Trans­form­ers 2 viral site, The Real Eff­ing Deal, has updated with new robot sight­ings, videos and news sto­ries — includ­ing a Leo Spitz video rant at Robo Warrior.

Down­load a zip file of four Leo Spitz videos from The Real Eff­ing Deal, three are Ramon Rodriguez and the fourth shows what looks like Starscream dart­ing in front of some Fireworks.

Robot seen in Japan

“Exclu­sive: It is Japan and all but”

Another TRED-head who’d like to remain anony­mous just sent us this link. We’re the FIRST on the net to break this story.

Now we all know the Land of the Ris­ing Sun is known for robots of all stripes — small to eff­ing huge — so spot­ting a bot in Japan is nor­mally no big deal. But this one’s LOOSE. And HIDING. And it looks more advanced than any Japan­ese robot I’ve ever seen. I’m start­ing to cor­re­late all the data we’ve been get­ting for the last few days and all I can say is, this is NOT good, peo­ple. They’re land­ing, spread­ing all over the world, and lying in wait for…something. Why are they here? Either they want our resources, they want to enslave us, they want to use our planet as their new homeworld…or maybe some­thing else. We’ll prob­a­bly never know until it’s way too late.

Robot­ics Gone Wild

I don’t know what “gespinnt” means, but he’s right, the “part” was eff­ing huge!! It looks to me like that car actu­ally TURNED INTO a bot. The physics just seem…impossible. Unless the Ger­mans have invented some kind of mor­ph­ing technology…or maybe learned it from aliens. Either way, here’s what wor­ries me: if robots can hide IN PLAIN SIGHT, we’ll NEVER see it com­ing! We could all be sur­rounded by bots right now. What if this com­puter I’m using sud­denly trans­forms into a killer cyber-organism because it doesn’t like what I’m typ­ing??? Yeeesh!

That is not a gorilla

A dios mia!!! TRED-heads, you need to check out this video. Watch the upper right for what looks like a grande eff­ing robot! Aus­tralia, Peru, now SPAIN! Either there’s one bot-like entity on a world-wide tour, or there are LOTS of them hid­ing out eff­ing EVERYWHERE.
Dudes, seri­ously. I’ve never seen any­thing like this before. Either someone’s yank­ing our chain here, or we’ve got giant robots — pos­si­bly giant ALIEN robots — appear­ing all over the eff­ing globe. I sug­gest you go back and bone up on your “How to Sur­vive a Robot Upris­ing” book, the one we men­tioned a few months ago right here on TRED.

And, yo, if you see some­thing else like this, send it to us ASAP (and not to ANYONE else, if you know what I mean).

Space Moms

This is a high qual­ity HD ver­sion of the TV Spot we put up ear­lier today. Being in HD we can get a good look at some of the kitchen-bots that come alive when there’s an acci­dent with the AllSpark.

Evolved

Evolved shows a bit more of the small ball bear­ing bots and Ravage.

Vari­ety have posted their take on the Trans­form­ers sequel, open­ing with,

With machines that are impres­sively more life­like, and char­ac­ters that are more and more like machines, “Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen” takes the fran­chise to a vastly supe­rior level of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence. As for human intel­li­gence, it’s pri­mar­ily at the ser­vice of an enhanced arse­nal of spe­cial effects, which helmer Michael Bay deploys like a gen­eral launch­ing his very own shock-and-awe cam­paign on the senses. Oth­er­wise, lit­tle seems new com­pared to the first install­ment, except that this ver­sion is longer, louder, and per­haps “more than your eye can meet” in one sit­ting. It will reap sim­i­lar B.O. rewards worldwide.

The review takes an in-depth look at the movie, ana­lyz­ing it with­out cast­ing undue and over­bear­ing judg­ment. A good and rec­om­mended read. Of course, please be aware of the spoilers.

The exclu­sive BD live Revenge of the Fallen footage is now online. Two of the three clips are those we’ve seen recently; Wheelie being attacked by Mikaela and Sergeant Epps clos­ing in on Demol­isher with NEST. The third is new and shows more of the Sat­urn chase seen wherein the car hold­ing Shia, Megan and Ramon is cap­tured by Grindor and dropped at the feet of Starscream.

The video must be muted because the sound is not cor­rect, and is instead incred­i­bly ear pierc­ing! TURN OFF SPEAKERS BEFORE WATCHING!

The Wheelie clip is also avail­able in HD, with no subtitles:
