Transformers 2 Super Bowl Spot
Yeah, I realize everyone has seen this thing by now, but I feel like it’s my duty to post a toy related movie spot on this toy related blog after I had posted the G.I. Joe one. So here it is, the 30 second Super Bowl ad for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen:
I find this ad slightly less stimulating than the G.I. Joe ad mostly because it’s kind of stuff we’ve seen before already. There’s big robots that sort of look like they Transform, but don’t resemble what I think of as “Transformers.” There’s also lots of explosions. I guess you could argue that the Joe stuff was all done before, but at least it had Christopher Eccleston, something which seems to be clearly lacking in Transformers 2. The only thing that really gets my nerdy rage up a bit is that stupid giant wheel robot. What’s with that?

That trailer gave me mahogany.

Sienna Miller vs. Megan Fox? Why must you make us choose Paul?

Stupid giant wheel robot? Wait ’till you see Arcee’s robot mode. There are images of the toy online and yeah… she has no legs

well, if you want a hint, the stupid giant wheel doesn’t stay as a stupid giant wheel - it turns into a tank tread. Yes, it actually spreads out (or flattens, depending on your point of view) even on the toy…
