Thanks to AICN, who pointed out that Michael Bay’s official site has some hi-res images available of the Transformers from… ah… Transformers. (This post is largely for music editor Ezra Ace Caraeff, who’s been complaining for weeks that despite his best efforts and liberal use of frame-by-frame pausing, he can’t make out the Transformers’ detailed anatomy in any of the previews thus far.)
Also, poking around on Bay’s official site is pretty hilarious. There are unintentionally funny bits about MySpace snafus (“Michael’s true MySpace placeholder page can be found here. Sadly, www.myspace.com/michaelbay is owned by someone else”), shameless/oblivious corporate pandering (“Michael has been working on a Pepsi ad that will promote the Transformers movie this summer”), and a few “aren’t I awesome” chunks of biographical boasting (“Continuing to build on his own success, Bay reunited with Bruckheimer to make Armageddon, based on a story Bay conceived with writer Jonathan Hensleigh. Starring Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton and Liv Tyler, Armageddon earned more than $550 million at the worldwide box office, making it the top-grossing film of 1998 globally, and making Bay one of the youngest directors ever to reach the billion-dollar mark”).
(Also, does anybody else think that it looks like Bumblebee has some weird stuff going on in his crotchal regions? There you go, Ezra.)
Am I the only one that gets reminded of the "Bodies" exhibit when they see the Transformers?
I'm really into the idea of them looking "organic"... We're not in the 80's anymore, and we know robots aren't going to look like they're made of shoeboxes now... I'm just sayin...

Put some flames on those dead dudes, and you have Optimus Prime.
