ILM has worked on nearly 300 feature films since its formation in 1975, including the TRANSFORMERS movies, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park as well as all four of the Indiana Jones films and all six of the Star Wars episodes.
ILM Singapore started in 2006 and has worked as a integrated unit with ILM San Francisco on such projects as the TRANSFORMERS franchise, Star Trek, Terminator: Salvation, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
We found out more about the attraction from Jeff White, visual effects supervisor at ILM.

It wasn't. That's new footage created specifically for the ride. The ride is going to have its own story with its own footage.Wreckage42 wrote:Ok so i've got one question... Megatron... WHERE THE HELL WAS ALL THAT IN TF3!?!??!?!?!?!
Notice that Megs is in his ROTF body. If this is gonna take place int he movie timeline, it'll likely take place between movies 2 and 3.

Actually, I saw chains on him. Only meaning that this is him in his DOTM body.
Maybe this is just a bridge version where Megs comes back to life for TF4? (Please?)

On closer examination, you're right. The "claw" on his right arm threw me off. (Why does he even have that claw?)#Sideways# wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It wasn't.

Still, it'll probably take place between ROTF and DOTM since the Cons are no longer interested in the AllSpark by the time of DOTM, whereas they still showed interest in it during post-ROTF/pre-DOTM material.
And, you know, all the Cons were killed in DOTM.

No no no no no, what I meant was why couldnt he have been doing that to prime instead of sitting around like hobo getting decapitated.

Plus, by that time, Megs was sick of fighting the war and just wanted it to be over with. Remeber how he offered Optimus a truce instead of fighting him? Megs wants to stay in power, but he had grown weary of the constant warfare.

I'm gonna argue that Megs was a little scrambled back in Africa. Hail me, elephants.
BTW. Megs had a great portrayal in DOTM. Galvatron minus the violence.

The storytelling starts from the queue lines at TRANSFORMERS The Ride. Get transported into the TRANSFORMERS universe when you step into the NEST facility at Universal Studios Singapore. If you have not seen a the blockbuster movie franchise, fret not, the preshow segment of the queue lines will prepare you for the ultimate 3D battle.
Even if you have never owned a TRANSFORMERS action figure, or watched a single installment of the TRANSFORMERS films, don't fret! The queue lines are built to transport you into the world of TRANSFORMERS and immerse you into the story from the moment you step in. That's why we call it the Pre-Show!
The world's first TRANSFORMERS ride will open at Universal Studios Singapore on 3 December 2011.

Ooh, definitely sounds more like Frank Welker as Megatron ^^
(See Mr. Bay? Welker's voice *does* suit the movie Megs! Just needed a lower pitch! My word I sound like a G1'ner...!)

Yep, all the original cast from the live action movies is in it. I just wish I knew who EVAC's voice actor was though.
Posted by IAmThePeej on November 23rd, 2011 @ 1:40pm CST
I also knew there would be 3D glasses, but was still holding out hope that Universal wouldn't make them look the same as every other ride of theirs. I guess they get a good deal for buying so many of them in that generic design...?
Now, for the ride audio, the sound effects and voice acting were great. I'm really surprised that I'm liking this ride so much. I couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed that BumbleBee only had a couple of lines that were the same as the movie(s). I was hoping that Mark Ryan would have done his voice instead. Small gripe, so I'm not really phased by this.
If the ride is really as much fun as it sounds and is pretty immersive from queue to boarding the cart, I'd have to say that Michael Bay should start having more involvement with rides rather than movies. actually, the more I think about it, the more it seems his *ahem* "skills" as director would be better suited for that type of experience.
Anyway, I'm patiently waiting for the Universal Studios Florida release to come. I wonder if it will be in the main park or IoA though... And what ride may be sacrificed for this. I'm hoping The Mummy will be killed since that ride killed my favorite ride ever there, King Kong. And The Mummy is pretty lame from beginning to end to begin with...
Also, SPOILER:
Devastator is in the ride? I'm hoping for something EPIC here!!!!! Also, please no close up of his testicular area..... That was a lame idea in RotF, I hope for no more of it.

You do know that Welker wasn't Megs in the bay movies - it was Hugo Weaving

Umm, I think someone made an error. That's Sideswipe, an Autobot.
The average user won't know it but Transformers fans will notice it right off. Also, is that Peter Cullen voicing Optimus Prime? It sounds like someone else doing a Peter Cullen impersonation.

Wheelie called him "Decepticon Sideways." Either this is one MASSIVE continuity error (assuming this takes place during the Bay continuity to begin with [more on that later...]) or SideSWIPE wasn't as good as he believed...or its a new 'Con with an old name.
Anyway, regarding continuity... Where in the continuity does the ride take place? Ironhide gave intel on Scorpinok's tail with "the rest of him...still out there waiting to strike."
Sooo...what happened in ROTF?
Also, Ironhide showed clips from DOTM's Chicago battle as historical footage, I believe. If that's the case, WHY AND HOW IS IRONHIDE STILL ALIVE?
Just where in the timeline does this take place in, if at all?

that would be pretty awesome to walk into
Posted by Sabrblade on November 26th, 2011 @ 2:09am CST
Well, originally, I was thinking between ROTF and DOTM. But now that you've brought this up, I'm gonna now have to guess that it exists within its own micro-continuity separate from (but still inspired by) the main movie timeline.what0080 wrote:Anyway, regarding continuity...

Maybe, like everyone else, they are pretending ROTF didn't exist. The only thing ROTF adds to the trilogy is Megatron's revival. Wheelie can be explained the same way they explained Brains, nothing at all, they are just there.
As for Chicago, they probably just show it as another city.

His chest opens slightly in the movie we don't see deep into him. You can just retcon that Prime always had the Matrix.

At least the events surrounding the Matrix were among the few (and I mean VERY few) exciting points in ROTF.

I agree with you on that but what I mean is that it isn't something that effected the story in DOTM if ROTF never existed. Having Megatron alive and well in DOTM is a huge continuity problem. Prime always having the Matrix, it works.

But it just makes me happy that they realized that these are some beloved characters that they are using for the ride (except for Wheelie). I can't wait to experience this ride for my self.
