Hopefully it'll transform into something with decent games. A SNES, maybe, or perhaps an Amiga.

"For reasons that I won't get into, we see an iPod, Xbox 360, and plasma screens sprout legs and transform just a bit."
... umm, why? I remember Transformers being about big huge robotic things that changed into trucks and stuff... Why would an iPod be a Transformer? It'd be TINY! I mean, how is something that size supposed to save the bloody world? |

I wouldn't put it past Michael Bay,I mean remember the comically awful product placement of the xbox logo in The Island?Y'know the flick that was set in 2027,yet is using a logo that is already out of date in 2006.Terrible.
Then again this story is probably a piss take anyway.

"So, is this 360 version comming with an external PU? ;) "
lol "Cmon Xboxbot! We gotta get outta here before Lexuscon and Zanussicon return!" "I cant go any further Panasonicbot. My PSU is wrapped around some fantastically well designed Ikea furniture. You'll have to transform in your DVD-S52 model with HDMI outputs (now available in stores) to somehow free me!" "Its lucky that you can withstand such a beating due to your superior build quality, XBoxbot!" |

Ok, this can go one of two ways...
1) They wind-up completely ruining the entire movie with this crap... 2) If you remember the origin of the Tranformers coming to Earth, the Autobots and Decepticons computers scanned the Earth and believed the machines of this planet were the dominant speciies. Given that, there could be all sorts of things like the XBoxes and iPod Transformers. Given that- and these scene are nothing more than little two second snippets, this won't ruin the movie. THE UGLY TRUTH!! This is just a diversion tactic to keep us from talking about the fact that ACTIVISION in making the movie game... man, that is going to suck! |

There are going to be a load of die hard 25-35 year old males who watch this as they grew up with the toys. This is a target rich demographic for your fucking ipods, 360's and big screen plasmas. We know Bay whores his films out like in 'The Island' where the clones in the pseudo prison who cannot buy anything have Xbox logos advertised in that virtual arena, which was sadly out of date, sadly out of place, and sadly making no sense at all.
The likelyhood is indeed high for Bay to shoehorn this shit in. That was the most jarring product placement I've seen to date in a film. Good job the film was so terrible or I'd be upset.

" "Obviously we're all a bit terrified about Michael Bay's new Transformers film(...)"
Can't understand this sentence...can anyone explain it to me?" Reading between the lines, I think they mean Bay will take a much cherished franchise, deeply embedded in the childhood memories of a generation, whose memories of Prime, Megatron are deeply revered, and for him to skull fuck it repeatedly until it's dropped ever dollar from its twitching corpse. |

Yeah, they should have booked Ang Lee or Steven Spielberg....It's an action movie with cars, the only name that pops in my mind is michael bay, and yeah, if the movies gets too expensive, put a bit of advertising in it, we see it on the street, it's natural that we see it in movies, when a character is walking down a street...
