MTV have posted an article entitled 'Transformers 3' Script Complete, Josh Duhamel Says in which they post some quotes from the Transformers actor when the spoke to him at ShoWest in Las Vegas yesterday.Here is a quote:

"I read it yesterday," he said of the script. "I think that after reading it, I was really pleasantly surprised and happy. They did a great job."

While Duhamel was understandably tight-lipped about plot details, he did reveal that the script includes new robots and story elements from foundational "Transformers" story lines. "Some really cool stuff happens," he said. "They put a lot of time and thought into this. What I think is really cool is they went back into the history of 'Transformers.' They didn't really make anything up. They're using stuff that actually existed in the story from before."

Frankell Baramdyka has updated his blog with some concept art for Transformers 3 (or at least the tie-in video game).  Frankell has previous worked on the other Transformers movie games for Activision/Luxoflux as well as working for High Moon Studios on movies such as Chronicles of Riddick and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.  The concept art includes a Junkion motorcycle, the planet Junk and possible an organic and robotic Cybertron.  You can view the images by visiting Frankell's blog.

Seibertron.com has received a copy of some emails relating to a wardrobe modelling gig for Transformes 3

Quote:

Our friend’s two e-mails listed the 'casting call' first as an unidentified movie, but then the second seemed to be made more specific, directly stating it was for Transformers 3. His theory for the second e-mail with the ACTUAL movie listing-- not enough folks responded with interest toward the first e-mail--.

Now, unfortunately it seems the parts the actors were to play were simply to model wardrobe and such for the movie for pictures, but it was stated that each actor would be seen by the director, so ‘you’ may have had a chance to parlay this into something more.

The response for this event has closed, and it was supposed to actually be 'performed' on THURSDAY. However, it is good to know that things are moving forward and that we do have a few clues about the human element of the movie: more military men of all ethnicities, 18-35 years old. Another interesting note though is that they listed a separate 'casting call' for military men who are also of Iranian/Middle Eastern descent.

TakaraTomy have updated their website with the Nest Online videos previously available by Hasbro, only this time with Japanese subtitles.

The second episode is available on the 19th of March.

Thanks to Snakas for the spot.

There will be a nice crescendo ending,” Bay said. “It gets much more into the robot character. The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape.

That's the most noticeable thing in a recent interview the LA Times did with Michael Bay.
