Did you know that in TRANSFORMERS

Did you know that in Transformers, the fear on the actor’s face when they’re running from Scorponok is real? The effect used on set to simulate Scorponok was actually dangerous, so director Michael Bay told the actors to run and don’t stop no matter what, otherwise they could be seriously injured. This terrified the actors, so the fear you see on screen is actually genuine!

[@lndv]

the “effect” was explosives, and they went off on a trail, so Michael Bay said to actually run.

[@HighSoldierTF2Official]

It wasn't fake. they feared the metal beast for their lives

[@nathanpierce7681]

did you know? the skirmish with scorponok in the desrt was actually real? instead of using practical effects and cgi to create the illusion of blackout's minicon, director michael bay just asked the government if they could spare them a murderous metallic alien that just happened to look like a scorpion. the government obliged, and after getting everything in place, michael bay released the alien designated as scorponok. for this scene, the actors were given real guns with blanks. when they were told to shoot the alien, they reluctantly obliged, only to find that they were shooting blanks. after this, every actor made a run for it as the alien began attacking everyone nearby. therefore, the fear on their faces is actually real!

[@Zodiac3107]

The explosions coming out of the ground to simulate Scorponok traveling through the sand are actually real and could have lead to the actors getting severely hurt or worse if they didn't run fast enough You should watch the behind the scenes for the film!

[@TF2Legacy]

Surprised people don't know about this. Yes. The effects for scorponok was done via an explosive material (can't remember specifically) and Bay told the actors to just keep running to prevent actual harm. The screaming and reaction was genuine since they could be seriously injured by the explosion if they stopped running.
