![Gran Turismo 5 demo coming to PSN on Dec 17, GT Academy returns [w/VIDEO]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/12/370z-gt-academy_143x85.jpg)
VIDEO: Ellen gives us latest glimpse of Transformers
In anticipation of its July 4th opening, the Transformers movie cast is beginning to hit the talk show circuit. The first on the couch was Josh Duhamel, who popped a squat on the Ellen show yesterday, played with a couple Transformers toys on stage, and debuted a full scene from the film in which Blackout lands at a military base and picks a fight. Duhamel plays Captain Lennox in the movie, not a far cry from the ex-Navy SEAL he plays on the TV show Las Vegas, we suppose. Not a bad gig for the guy that beat a young Ashton Kutcher in a runway model walk-off (Eat it, Kutcher!).
Check out the scene from Transformers after the jump, and keep an eye on our burgeoning gallery of movie pics below.
Thanks for the tip, Rob!

I'll be glad when this stupid movie is released and the Autoblog staff can quit posting about it daily.

I'm looking forward to the movie but based on just the previews I think I'll be distracted by the obnoxious product placements.

Hey Andrew your right, reminds me of CLone Trooper fire from the Star Wars Prequels. As for product placement, you know I NEVER notice that stuff in movies. You think I would since I work in advertising....or maybe that is why I don't! LOL! Big ole HP logos on those 'puters! I really hope this movie is decent. Transformers were my 3rd fav toys, right behind G.I. Joe and Star Wars. HotWheels were in a catergory of their own....we'll just have to wait and see.

The movie will be so bad there will be a backlash against GM for ruining many childhood memories. Those IDIOT.

Anyone know what kind of truck Optimus is? I'm thinking it's a 379 Long Nose Pete, but, I'm not sure. Those trucks look completely different depending on what trim package is chosen. They also look so much better than any cab-over configuration.

That helicopter looks like an MH-53 to me. I've never heard of an "MH-3"

To hell with all you haters. You're just pissed because GM makes the best dam vehicles on this planet and some smart people picked them to be in a kickass movie.
What do you want some bland-mobile toyotas as transformers? Quit being gay.
Oh and BTW, GM is not making the movie, so don't blame them for anything.
Thank god there are no trashy import cars in this movie....

Well Brett, I don't think that (mostly) bankrupt Hollywood is going to pay for the whole thing... Just like in the Matrix, GM pays for some of the movie (so the producers can allot for a higher budget) and then GM gets to have rights to product placement. This happens in all movies, no matter how gushy, or hard-core they may be.
So, yeah, in a way GM is making the movie, along with Ford, and the US military (by use of a base and maybe not funds), and God knows who else. Just a little tip from a person who has some sense of how business works.
As far as the movie goes... Yes the girl is good looking and I am sure there will be a sex scene at some point. I do think the line is MH-53, but we just can't hear the "5-". And Bay is messing with a classic and needs to be informed that (as an example, I don't really think of the gen1 this way) by remaking the Mona Lisa, he is NOT creating his own art.

This is the best example of what Bay might actually look like when his is "creating".
Also, like Leo said, I will be glad when this atrocity is over and autoblog stops posting every five minutes about it.

#15,
You mean that tepid Pontiac Soltice with the trailblazer tranny, BAYformers Jazz, would be a better car than the Porsche Martini race car that was the original Jazz?
Also, it should be noted that Transformers was originally a JAPANESE invention, not an American one. Do the research.
So, yes. a live action Transformers would be a little more true to the orignal source material if the Autobots were Toyotas.
The Transformers were always a vehicle for auto advertisments, but at least it was varied.
Jazz: Porsche Martini race car, not a Soltice
Trax(not in movie): Corvette
Bumblebee: VW bug, not a new Camaro (ironic now one of fastest Autobots, Jazz, is second to Bumblebee)
Redalert: Lambo Countach, not a Hummer (Hummer abulance?!)
