Apparently they were filming a scene for Transformers 3 when a cop decided to cut through the shoot to respond to a call and well... Watch the video to see what happened.

No way. I had no clue they were doing a DC version. This only proves it's going to suck.

That looked like about 30mph. :gotme

IIRC crash tests are done at 45mph and this one didn't do any better, actually worse.**

I noticed on the car it's labeled as "35mph"

"A bad accident" pretty much sums up the whole movie franchise. Fitting.

I find them enjoyable for the action sequences and the special effects (including a pretty solid audio soundtrack). But the beginning of the first movie set the entire tone:

"Before time began, there was the cube"

With that, anyone watching it had to have lowered their expectations, right?

I don't know why people like hating on this movie so much. The first one was sweet. Second one sucked a little bit. Third one looks promising.

Theres going to be a throwback scene with bumblebee as a 510, but more on that later.

Well, there goes getting a 510 for any kind of a reasonable price for the next 5 years.

yea DC cops are dumb sometimes. I got a bunch of pics of the 510s and stuff. I'll post when I'm conscious.

And yes, I am now moving forward with my plans to finally find a datto.
