Transformers: Dark of the Moon Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Transformers: Dark of the Moon!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Michael Bay’s first Transformers movie was a huge success and moneymaker and shot both Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox to superstardom. Naturally a sequel was rushed into production-- which led to it being pretty terribly-received by fans and critics alike. So there was a lot of pressure to make the third movie in the franchise better. Um… Anyway...
Transformers: Dark of the Moon definitely raises some questions. Like why did everyone forget about Sam Witwicky’s fame? Why were the Decepticons shooting at Sentinel if he was working with them? How does Sam keep landing these incredible girlfriends? Why didn’t the bad guys kill Sam when they had the chance? Why is Chicago being destroyed? Why did the Autobots allow thousands of people to be killed just to prove a point? Is Optimus Prime a psychopath?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Transformers: Dark of the Moon! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

“Unclear.” Yeah, this summarizes all of the Micheal Bay Transformers movies

[@TheMarionick]

The only thing that's unclear is whether or not there's rule 34 porn of male Transformers on female humans. Like, that wouldn't work, would it? The girl would be torn apart instead of being pleasured.

The level of exaggeration and energy in these movies is what makes them one of a kind, I’m guilty of liking of all Michael Bay’s action scenes, I enjoyed all of them even paid a bit extra for that imax experience and is been unique every single time, I wish to see more of them
