TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE (PART ONE)

Now that the movie will be coming up very soon in your local cinema; next week to be precise, I have decided to take my dear readers to the hype and the mounting anticipation where the fan-boys of the robotic animation Transformers will be screaming right now. It is a sad case that I will not attending the Premier Screening because I am in (you know where) right now. Congratulations to those attending and please don't tell me whether it is good or not soon.


THE BOX OFFICE

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, a sequel from the 2007's mega-hit will be in the theater next week, 23 June. 2007's Transformers collected more than RM 18million in the local box office, easily became the most box office sales in the Malaysian history. So, just how much the new movie will make? If possible please make a guessing.


THE STORY

This time, Sam witwicki (Shia LeBouf) will be attending the college and will be enrolled in the astronomy course. While the other autobots now laying low in the secretive life among the human, a war is about to be forged. Sam Witwicky discovers something about the origins of the Transformers and their history on Earth after receiving visions from a remaining piece of the Allspark. The evil Decepticons need to capture him for information. The climactic battle takes place at the Giza pyramid complex, where a temple is located within.


THE ROBOTS

The sequel will features a new range of robots, including some from the previous one. I have made a post on this last time but here is the more updated version on choices of robots that will be featured.
