yes and maybe a comparison with pics of both citroen adds
let the robotic design discussions begin.(maybe in another post)

clearly designs discussed onthe subjects using pics of the live movie and aother robot advertismenst would be worthy of discussion if stuff was taken a different way from the live movie.
(so where is the link to the citroen advertisment…both of them, one skating and one dancing.)

shawn can you link the GM transformers pics post you placed in this post?
I feel the relevance have can be expanded upon rather well.

there is a design there that ironically supports the notion of boxy does work.The design works quite well..

I expected the citroen advert to be of window on “what is to come” of the movie. The design and the movement had all the good points of what atrasnforming robot would look like. It does not appear to morph and SOME parts logically you know where it goes when it trasnforms.

I gather you watched both commercials yes? I distictly remember seeing two versions.

As with product placement, micheal bay could have done it more
“discreetly”. It sure ruined my viewing pleasure.

If there is one thing that pissed me off in the movie, it was the product placement.

The citroen ad is badass for sure.

On the topic of that Citreon ad, how come Michael Bay couldn’t do it that way.. That ad worked so well in so many ways, the movement was awesome, there was little to no limitations and the transformation sequence was brilliant.. It’s sad that Bay had to do a complete overhaul in order to accomplish the same thing that a Citreon ad made look so simple.. With the product placements, GM stole the show by a country mile.. Nokia had it’s moments and Mountain Dew has it’s 15 seconds of fame, but that 15 seconds will make them millions.. Well done Michael Bay..

But i think that the political statement in the movie was the clear winner, who would have thought that yet another movie will have an Iraq influenced war as the platform for the rest of the movie..

Yeah, I posted that Citroen ad somewhere on this site. It’s a decent commercial.

The product placement in the movie was a bit overwhelming for sure.

Don’t Forget Nokia,Mountain Dew,etc.
