You may also be interested to know that Bay was given exclusive access to GM’s design studio to handpick new cars for the film. GM Vice President of Global Design Ed Wellburn gives an interesting tidbit about how Trax and Beat will somehow “work together in some way”, whatever that means. Maybe one of you can decipher what he means.
Some models, like the Beat and Trax, which will appear as the Autobots Skids and Mudflap for “Revenge of the Fallen,” even affected how the characters functioned.
“That day that he visited us and walked the halls of the studios, the movie developed and in some ways changed,” he revealed. “[Bay] was inspired by things like the two small cars that maybe could work together in some way. That’s all I can say right now.”

Anyone else having trouble with this? I got an adidas ad then nothing!
It should be fixed now, Simon.
Still not working, but could because I’m in the UK? I tried to check it out at MTV and got a “copyright prevents playing this outside the US”…
Which I don’t understand, surely the idea of this video is to create hype, why would you limit which country that hype is spread through?
still not working. I tried IE and firefox
I saw it… badass. I always figured those huge explosion that you see would all be cheaper, and less dangerous to do in post… but naaaww. It seems Bay doesn’t Play.
The above clip that is.
win.
soo many explosion..
This “working together in some way” must be hinting at two vehicles interlocking to form a larger robot.
Ok. now it’s not working anymore. Dud fix this man.
