Official Transformers 2 Behind-The-Scenes Video Shows Off Audi R8

Mark Arnold — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:00:00 EDT

This official Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen behind-the-scenes video from Wal-Mart gives a closer look at the Audi R8 during the first day of shooting on the set. Also clearly visible is Michael Bay's massive douchebagitude. With all the hype surrounding the blatant product placement that is the Corvette Centennial Concept and the ~~production-ready~~ Chevy Volt we sometimes forget that the R8 is going to have some screen time too. Though it's not like Audi is showing off anything we haven't seen before. [via Transformers.MovieChronicles] More »

Nissan GT-R Transformers Toy Poses Next To Real Nissan GT-R

When we first heard of the Nissan GT-R Transformers toy, it was still a colorless prototype. Now we see what it looks like in all its hopefully lead-free paint. They've even found a real Nissan GT-R to pose next to it. Maybe it's actually the full-scale model ready to do battle with the GM Autobots? Okay, obviously not, but it's too bad we wont be seeing this GT-R up on the big screen in the upcoming Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. These shots were taken at the 2008 Chara Hobby show in Chiba, Japan. The Tomy Takara toy should be going into production in the next few months, but getting your hands on one over here in the US may take a little longer. More »

Nissan GT-R Transformers Toy Turns Godzilla Into Killer Robot

Mark Arnold — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:30:00 EDT

The Nissan GT-R may be known as Godzilla, but Japanese toymaker Takara-Tomy sees the supercar more as a super robot. Don't get too excited: This 1/32 scale model doesn't mean you'll be seeing the GT-R on the big screen in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. Nope, this is just a toy, for now at least. But you'll at least be able to take one home in either red or black when they hit the shelves in November. [via CarScoop] More »
