Transformers: Their Movie. Our Hype.

Hey there fellow OT'ers.

I was wondering if any of you would be interested in helping me with a silly little disc I wanted to make. Over the past year or so there have been a number of commercials and fan videos that have imitated/parodied or paid homage to Transformers. With a number of these videos being made due to the forthcoming Michael Bay movie of 2007 I want to put together a DVD that compiles the best (and worst?) of these clips in the best possible quality. Sort of like a "Transformers: Hype" disc.

Some of you might be familiar with some of the clips. I think the most famous of the bunch is the original Citroen C4 commercial. However, those of you who frequent movie news sites may have seen the couple of clips touted as being 'leaked' SFX test footage from the new movie.

I have a list that I compiled of all the Youtube clips that I was able to find by searching with "Transformers". This list was made nearly a month ago and so some of the links might no longer work. Let me know if any don't work and I'll use the description to find another copy available on youtube and re-edit the link. Please if you know of high quality versions for any of the below material then send me the links... and yes I know I can save Youtube content - but the point of this proposed project is to try and get the highest quality versions possible.

I'd like to add some other content too; the "I Love Toys" clip, perhaps some related commercials, other things like those on the below list, a redone version of the best TF music video, the leaked set photos from the new movie, the teaser trailer for the new movie, etc. Please give your thoughts and ideas for such a disc. I look forward to any and all replies.

The Youtube List:
NOTE: There are probably clips in here that aren't suited to this project. I've yet to organise it and get rid of the pointless ones. These are only meant to serve as inspiration for what we could include.

* The faked "leaked" footage (from a while back)

Sweet! I was hoping I'd find some other Transformers fans here on the forum. Thanks for the quick reply and interest

I was just thinking that perhaps the clips from Family Guy and Robot Chicken could be included. You just got to love Soundwave having a desk job and Optimus Prime getting prostate cancer.

The previous C4 commercial has a HQ version on several sites, but I can dig it off the HDD if no one else finds one.

Oddly enough I stumbled across a repository of the fan CG type videos and I'm currently downloading all of them. I'll post the link up when I'm done.

Guiltyspark;
Thanks for those. Nice to see contributions already.

Wow. I was justing geeking out over leaked pics and the trailer for the new TF movie, and checked in to OT.com to see this post. Glad to see some TF fans in here. I have a pretty decent copy of the original citreon commercial, and a few other fan made clips somewhere on my computer. I'll try to find them. I'll be glad to help in any way I can.
