Transformers: The Movie

offical site

Rumour has it that for the new live action Transformers movie, the bots themselves have moved on with the times. An example being some of the old favourites, like Jazz, swapping their old cars for new more modern ones. However, bad news is a leaked script indicates a baffling array of product placement, with some bots able to turn into iPods and Xbox 360's and even a plasma TV! Not sure I like this idea, it was bad enough in I Robot. But where the items in Big Willy's blockbuster were fairly inate, like a JVC CD player, you would expect the Transformers products to have some sort of meaning. I mean, how helpful is being able to become a 360? How can that POSSIBLY save the world?.... Unless it grows massive legs and huge guns and can pulverize a tank from 500 yards, then throw monkeys at it, give it the finger, and walk off triumphantly into the sunset.
