Leaked 'Transformers 3' Script Is a Fake

On Saturday, December 12th, the Allspark posted a 'leaked' Transformers 3 script. Unfortunately, it has been ruled out and declared a hoax. According to 'Nelson' from the Shoot for the Edit website, he has confirmed that it is indeed a hoax.

Nelson said the following - "Their is a script out there being reported on TF sites as being legit. It's fake. Amazing that someone would take so much time to write so much for nothing. "

In general, the script was an attempt to take Michael Bay's Transformer Universe which has already been established by the first two films and take a new route, reverting the theme back to a completely G1 styled movie. There are many errors, espcially in grammar and punctuation throughout the entire script, which isn't uncommon, but still unprofessional. Like I have said before, it is really just a fan boy's dream for the next film. There are so many literal re-incarnations of famous scenes and moments from the G1 series. And for those of you who don't know, Bay doesn't like to make homages. He likes to be original with his work. Some of the ideas are very plausible, but just would never tie in to what Bay has already established. I personally, thought it was a great read, especially for G1 fans, with an excellent climax at the end with a great cliffhanger. Whoever has created it, obviously put a LOT of time and thought into it and I thank you personally for a fun read.

New Transformers Game - The War for Cybertron

In other Transformer news, we have a new game being released entitled 'Transformers: The War for Cybertron' under Activision. The game is to be released sometime next year (2010). The game does not follow any movie or generation. Judging by the concept art released and the game trailer, the game design looks very much like the 'War Within' comic series. The game is a third-person shooter, with a 'Gears of War' style to it. There have been reports that both factions, Autobots and Decepticons, will be playable. Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC versions are said to be in the works.

Megan Fox to be killed off in TF3? Nope

Last month, it was rumored by the site Gossipcop, that Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox), would be killed off in the beginning of Transformers 3 due to her rude comments towards Michael Bay. Bay though, has stomped out this rumor during his interview with USA Today.



Bay has said -

"I love her. It’s just, she’s young. Everyone’s got to give her a break, she only…23? It’s just hard. I’ve traveled around the world with her and she’s just like this world symbol now, you know?”

“She called me (after the Hitler comment) and goes, ‘It’s all bullsh—t, Mike.’ The press, they just like to prey, and stalk, and pounce and find a good little juicy thing. But she’s always wanted to do these crazy comments. That’s just her. She’s great.”

“She’s got a great part in Transformers 3"

[Regarding her death] - “No, no. no. She gets enough of that already.”


* Personally, I'm glad to see that Bay was so understandable towards Fox. After all, she is bringing Bay in a LOT of viewers to the theaters and making him a lot of money. *

Transformers 3 Gets an Official Date

According to Michael Bay's own website, Shoot for the Edit, Transformers 3 will be released on July 1st, 2011. It has been previously debated and rumored that the movie would be released in 2012 but this is NOT true. Pre-production has already started according to the site as well. Bay already had a meeting with Hasbro in Rhode Island along with new writer Ehren Kruger to discuss new characters. Bay also had a meeting with ILM in San Francisco in early October. To check out exactly what Bay posted, again you can check out his site.

No Dinobots for Future 'Transformers' Installments

Sadly, Michael Bay, in a recent interview with EMPIRE MAGAZINE, has made clear his lack of inclusion of them in any film and his dislike for them. Bay says, "They've never been discussed [for inclusion]. I don't like them. Actually, I hate them." This is very sad news, for G1 fans and the general audience alike for they were such loveable and awesome characters to the Transformers Universe.
