Special Features
Disc one begins with a feature-length commentary track with director Michael Bay. Bay discusses the military involvement, shares some fascinating information about the design of the Transformers, the assembly of the first trailer, Steven Spielberg's request for him to helm the film, his crash course in all things Transformers, and more. That's just the first few minutes of the track. What's so great about this track is that Bay always offers pertinent information. It's not full of superfluous tidbits or a play-by-play of what's happening in the movie. Rather, Bay speaks his mind about things we want to know, pertinent behind-the-scenes nuggets and stories that keep fans interested and reinforces his status as a passionate and knowledgeable filmmaker. There are a few minor segments of dead air where Bay allows the movie to speak for him, but these moments come at opportune times in the track to drive home a point. One of the finest moments of the track comes in chapter five when Bay speaks about the outrage directed at him on the Internet, mentioning death threats and fans who were afraid their childhood would be "wrecked" when he was finished with the film and the Internet craze that followed its every step. This is an honest, informative track, one that everyone needs to listen to. Next is Transformers H.U.D. This feature is an informative pop-up trivia track that offers many tidbits, some found elsewhere in the extras, some not. It covers everything from the specifications of the real-life military hardware found throughout the film to the statistics on vehicle theft in 2004. There are some gaps in the presentation, but the information is interesting enough.
The first feature on disc two is Our World (1080i, 49:14). This four-part feature begins with The Story Sparks (8:32), a piece featuring interviews with executive producers Steven Spielberg and Brian Goldner, writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, director Michael Bay, and more. This feature looks at the origins of the story, with plenty of clips from the original cartoon series, a look at some classic toys, and plenty of other interesting nuggets. Bay delves further into the reworking of the story and the special effects, while the other commentators discuss the talent and eye for action Michael Bay brought to the film, and more. Human Allies (13:09) focuses on the past successes of people who work with Bay, as well as casting the primary actors in the film. I Fight Giant Robots (13:58) examines the U.S. military's cooperation with the filmmakers and the training the cast underwent to enhance their roles. Gun fanatics will like the glimpse at a .50 caliber machine gun the crew was privileged to train on. The feature moves onto more behind-the-scenes glimpses at the making of the film's climactic battle scene. Finally, Battleground (13:33) looks at some of the logistics behind the making of the film and shooting at the various locations seen throughout.
A five-part feature entitled Their War (1080i, 1:05:10) begins with Rise of the Robots (13:39). This is a great piece that looks at the history of the Transformers franchise, the fans of the franchise, it's popularity around the world, and the importance of keeping fans happy. Bay repeats some information here that is found in the commentary where he discusses the negative reaction fans had to some of the early concepts, and the release of the teaser trailer. The piece then focuses on why some of the changes were made to the characters, the cost limitations of adding more robots to the film, and so much more. This is a great piece. Autobots Roll Out (19:59) is an in-depth look at the cars chosen for the Autobots, looking at why the Volkswagen Bug wouldn't work for Bumblebee, for example, and delving into the cars chosen for Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide, and, of course, Optimus Prime, including a discussion of the changes made to the look of the vehicle. Decepticons Strike (14:32), like the last feature, examines the Decepticons more in-depth while looking at the military equipment seen in the film and the U.S. military's cooperation with the filmmakers. Inside the Allspark (16:59) focuses on the work of Digital Domain and ILM in creating the special effects for the film. Transformers Tech Inspector allows users to get up-close and in-depth looks at their favorite Transformers -- including Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Megatron, Blackout, and Starscream.
More Than Meets the Eye is next, a feature that is broken down into three parts. From Script to Sand: The Skorponok Desert Attack (1080i, 8:52) is an in-depth look at this important action piece from the film, beginning with the design and origins of the Decepticon featured in the scene and moving on to the animatics, 3-D animation of the character, scouting the location for the scene, creating the practical special effects as seen in the scene, and adding special effects to the scene in post-production. Concepts (1080i, 2:09) is a series of conceptual art images that were the foundation of the film and its characters. Finally, the film's teaser trailer (1080p, 1:49) and two theatrical trailers (1080p, 2:11 and 1080p, 2:34) conclude the special features. Paramount is to be commended for such an in-depth supplemental section, and the video quality is fantastic on each and every piece. All the features are well worth watching.
On June 16, 2009, Paramount released several new features to the Transformers Blu-ray BD-Live page, some of which tie in with the upcoming theatrical release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and others that add more exclusive content that take viewers deeper into the making of the original Transformers. 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' Exclusive Sneak Peek allows users to view We're Gonna Die, a scene from the upcoming film featuring Sam and Mikaela under Decepticon attack. The scene, and all of the other features included in this update, plays in a small window in the middle of the screen. Two additional "sneak peaks" are available, too: Shanghai, a scene featuring soldiers engaging a Decepticon, and Adobe Hut, another scene showcasing Sam and Mikaela, this time in hiding from several Decepticons. Also included and connected to Revenge of the Fallen is the two-part From the Set. Day 1 takes viewers to the set for the crucial first day of the shoot in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the "Bayos" that surrounds the creation of a Michael Bay film. A Day in the Shade looks at the pampered treatment Megan Fox received on the set.
The remaining materials focus exclusively on Transformers. The extras begin with a pair of deleted scenes entitled Maggie and Glen Introduction and Fig Death. Next up is Fly on the Set: Pentagon, a short piece taking viewers onto the set for the work that went into creating a realistic look and feel for several of the more crucial scenes from the film. Music and Mayhem features a look at several of the film's most special-effects heavy sequences in various stages of completion. Metal in Motion showcases some preliminary special effects that provided the groundwork for the final effects as seen in the film. Stunts 101 looks at the dangerous world of stunt work, particularly in an action-packed, explosive film like Transformers. This piece contains behind-the-scenes footage that shows the many preparations needed to successfully conduct a stunt shot, accompanied by several crew interview clips. Next up is Choose Your Weapon, a fun piece that examines the presence and use of the many weapons as seen in Transformers. Also included is a glimpse at the weapons training several of the actors partook in to lend realism to the experience. The Man in the Ice looks at how Los Angeles, California doubled for the Arctic during the making of Transformers. The piece also contains Director Michael Bay recounting the purpose of the scene as well as some previsualization sequences that helped the filmmakers envision the final product. Voices takes audiences behind the gears and gizmos and introduces them to some of the actors who breathed life into the robots, including longtime Optimus Prime voice Peter Cullen. Finally, Audition Tapes: Megan Fox allows viewers to watch the actresses' audition for the role of Mikaela.
