VORSICHT SPOILER - AICN schreibt: [..] Starts with a pair of military choppers flying over the desert. The burn in said it was Qatar, in the Middle East. On the chopper are Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Zack Ward and a couple others. Standard grunt chit-chat here. Kind of funny, kind of showing of each of their characters. One of them speaks Spanish and English, flowing from one to the other, sometimes in mid-sentence. The others give him a hard time about it. "You know we don't speak Spanish..." etc. Didn't really come off as scripted, so that's a good thing. They land at a base and we see them interact with some other soldiers, Duhamel trading candy to an Iraqi kid for some kind of backpack thing. Then the ominous chopper is seen. Black. Angular. The audio was even distorted when the rotors were spinning, sounding otherworldly. Very cool little touch, I thought. Aaron from 24 is in charge of the control tower on the base and is alerted of the bogie by his radar guy. He orders it to deviate from military airspace. No response. He then sends some recon planes to check it out. They get a visual and report it back as one of theirs, but the aircraft number is one that was shot down in Afghanistan. Aaron from 24 says it must be a mistake, but one of the younger soldiers says he doesn't need to recheck because on of his friends was on that chopper when it went down. There's no mistake. The chopper lands. The sun is going down and the military surround it. We get a glimpse of the pilot, the shot from the trailer as the electrical glitch goes over his face. Then the fucker starts transforming. For the love of god, all that is holy... it actually made the transforming sound from the cartoon. My little geek heart went pitter-patter. The blades fold up and giant pieces start to shift. One detail I liked was that the army goes right at the thing. They don't watch it transform. Right when it starts to shift the guns start blazing, bullets bouncing off of Blackout as he becomes a giant robot. Bay hid the beginnings of the transformation with military jeeps, so you only catch glimpses at first... until you see him stand. He lays waste. I'm telling you, this scene was huge. And the old fogey theater owners? They erupted in applause as he started blasting away army guys with his arm cannons. Can you imagine hearing a predominantly 50-60 year old crowd that applauds a giant machine killing US Army? [..]
