ShoWest Transformers Footage

AICN has posted two descriptions of the Transformers footage shown at ShoWest from Harry and Quint, two of the contributors for the site.

The highlights:
- About 20-25 minutes of footage shown, each series of sequences from the film.
- Getting closer to finished but voice, eyes, and other tweaks still to be done
- Showed desert sequence from begining that introduces the soldiers in the usual movie / advertisement for the armed services.
- Blackout sequences "it's killer", the sound effects where especially noted as sounding good with the attack ruthless and intense. Many many things go boom.
- You can hear the transforming sound from the cartoon.
- Next sequences was with Shia and the Autobots in at his house while he looks for an object that will help find the Allspark. Its a moment of levity for the film.
- Harry on the site wasn't a fan of the Optimus mouth as it distracts from the eyes, but apparently part of the tweaking that is being worked on.
- At one moment, apparently Ironhide speaks...since Peter Cullen is the only known actor hired as voice and he also voiced Ironhide in the cartoon, makes you wonder if he doesn't have two or more roles in the film.
- Animation on Bumblebee is working well.
- Last sequnces goes back the Scorponok attack as the soldiers hightail and return fire and the like. Also very good looking sequence.
- Harry's conclusion: "it looks like a Transformers movie."
