Transformers 3

I'm sitting in Transformers 3 and there is a blue W212 AMG in the movie and it looks sick! The front fogs are vertical?

Great movie, if you're a Transformer fan you will not be disappointed

I also forgot to mention (because I was in the theater) There is an SLS in the movie as well that gets some pretty good screen time as it belongs to Sam's new gf

from another website...
In anticipation of the upcoming release of the summer blockbuster, Transformers 3; Dark of the Moon, CEC is proud to announce its involvement in creating the newest character, Q.



Long time CEC customer and acclaimed Director/Producer, Michael Bay contacted Claus Ettensberger (Founder of CEC) a while back to help design the newest Autobot for the upcoming action thriller. With a base Mercedes E550 as the platform, CEC went to work transforming 2 identical stock sedans into Decepticon killers with style. The conversion included a new custom blue paint job, specifically chosen by Michael Bay, to make the character really stand out.



The CEC enhancements incorporated a custom aerodynamic kit, front spoiler, side skirts, rear skirt, decklid spoiler, fenders, suspension and exhaust system. The stock wheels/tires were replaced with 20” CEC C725 forged wheels (20x8.5” front, 20x10” rear) and Michelin PS2 tires (245/30R20 front, 285/25R20).

I thought it was pretty damn good and I would go as far to say it was as good as the 1st one. They've mastered the CG (compared to the 1st two films)when the autobots & decepticons transform and the 3D was done similiar to Avitar. The story line was great everything was explained and of course the SLS looked & sounded awesome I only wish they would have shown the W212 more.

So you're saying that filming had no affect on the way Chicago looks?

Watching an HD RIP from the comfort of my own home! (Should I mention that I have one heck of a home theatre system, so it feels like I am at the theatre, except I don't have to deal with annoying teenagers)

I hate critics, they always try to be so "exquisite" that they hate 98% of all movies and only "like" the really weird ones.

Everyone's a critic, some just think it's an actual job Man I tell you, movie critics are pushing the boundaries of human evolution and technology I can't believe someone is paid to criticize, in that case my mother-in-law should be a billionaire

I go to T3 to see what an "unlimited budget" MASSIVE Hollywood flick looks like. Its just cool sometimes to see what the absolute BEST graphics and digital editing is at the current moment. No way anything this year or maybe even next is gonna top the amount of cash was put into the graphics budget.

I don't expect it to be Lord of the Rings...who does?

Its kids figures brought to life with hopefully some T&A thrown in.

If it was like Lord of the Rings you could count me out... but that is the reason I see these too. Michael Bay somehow seems to be able to do whatever he wants wherever he wants. I thought I heard a rumor about another Terminator sometime in the next year or two..? That budget could be pretty big too...
