That Summer robot blockbuster movie Transformers features all kinds of technological items changing form including cars, CD players and (our personal favorite) an Xbox 360. We've known about the transforming 360 for a while, but now we have video proof! Embedded above is a clip from the Transformers movie featuring a premium Xbox 360 turning into a Decepticon right out of the box. It's a short clip, but if you listen close enough you'll hear the signature sound of the Xbox 360 starting up. Yes ... our inner geeks are more than satisfied.

I still don't get that part. If the All Spark is supposed to be the creator of life how come all it does is create rampaging maniacal robots?
Cabal @ Jul 8th 2007 3:12PM
It creates feral robots, how would you like it if you first woke up being held by a strange creature while hearing the sounds of battle going on?
Wil @ Jul 8th 2007 3:22PM
That wasn't an Xbox 360.
Tony @ Jul 8th 2007 3:25PM
Yeah it was, you can even see a picture of it on the box. It even plays the start up sound.
Wil @ Jul 8th 2007 3:28PM
OH! It's in the packaging! My mistake.

that movie was absolutely awesome! i felt like an idiot when i was the only one laughing out loud when i saw the precious xbox 360 turn into a decepticon :)
knopp182 @ Jul 8th 2007 4:17PM
Bet thats not covered by the new 3 year warrinity
Andres @ Jul 8th 2007 4:21PM
hey guys. The reason why the Quenchinator Gameotron and the cadlibot oh dont forget then Cellulator came to life and started to destroy people is because of a spoiler in the movie..
*spoiler*
Ok the reason why they came to life was because they reversed engineered Megatron which is were (as stated by sector 7) is where all modern technology comes from.
So chances are that when they came to life they had a bit of Megatron in there psyche which makes them want to destroy

knopp182, of course it isn't. The three year warranty only effects the RROD. ;)

The movie was pretty good, but definitely couldve been better. It pissed me off that they didnt use Megatrons original voice. Bay is an idiot. They also couldve had more of the actual transformers in the movie. Or should I say, focus more on the transformers instead of making them secondary characters. I hope they ax Bay for the sequel and let someone else direct it. Great movie, but damn it couldve been so much better. A lot of these directors, like Bay, really dont have a clue.
Aero @ Jul 8th 2007 6:33PM
Yeah, you guys thought the red rings were bad. Wait until your 360 comes to life and tries to kill you.
Jerry @ Jul 8th 2007 6:54PM
How much did Microsoft pay for that :p its pretty cool
ryan @ Jul 8th 2007 7:23PM
@CJ:
you say the movie was pretty good, but the director was an idiot. by your opinion shouldn't the movie itself be idiotic if the director is idiotic?
they picked a great voice for Megatron. i prefer it to the raspy older one. anyway the inclusion of Prime's original voice more than made up for this.
they made the robots secondary to the humans so the audience could relate to the robots more.
the only problem i had was a continuity one: where Barricade reports in and is totally left out of the final battle (in the novel, Prime kills him off).
great spot on the 360 transformer btw. totally didn't notice.

Not shown in that video?
Michael Bay taking a huge dump all over a perfectly good franchise.
It doesn't even have Soundwave in it. Shouldn't there be some litmus test for a transformers movie, where if they want to:
1. take out the best character, and
2. replace it with one that's more annoying than jar jar,
They should be fired on the spot?
What a shitty flick that was. Do yourself a favor and skip it.
Tom @ Jul 8th 2007 7:47PM
lol KilgoreTrout XL.
i implore everyone not to listen to this fan of Soundwave!
the movie was very good. the helicopter alone more than fills in that Soundwave void.
Frenzy could be kinda sorta...soundish like Jar Jar...wait ..no WTF are you talking about Trout-fish-boy?
ever see the movie Gremlins? yeah that's Frenzy in a nutshell.
the script may be a little thin. but it's an action movie, not a space opera. enjoy it or go back to ogling your toy collection.
Jayslacks @ Jul 8th 2007 8:37PM
The writers have already stated that Soundwave, the Constructacons and the Dinobots will all be in the Sequel....
Toph @ Jul 8th 2007 8:48PM
Transformers was the absolute best movie of 2007 so far.
Grimm @ Jul 10th 2007 12:18AM
@ #10. Thanks for failing miserably. That isn't what they said at all.
I'll stick with the "If I woke up to find I was armed to the teeth with a bunch of strangers staring at me I'd be shooting too".
KilgoreTrout XL @ Jul 8th 2007 9:21PM
Tom: An ad hominem attack against me because you don't read Kurt Vonnegut but you like Michael Bay?
That's brilliant! Cheers.
ccc @ Jul 8th 2007 9:59PM
Michael Bay is a piece of shit.
Everything he touches magically turns in2 shit.
Team AMerica pays hijm the proper respect he deserves
Murrytmds @ Jul 8th 2007 11:32PM
I woulda laughed so hard if they had the 360-con just suddenly fail and go limp seconds after it started its attack. MS woulda flipped but it woulda been worth it. Then agian considering the first thing the 360 does is try to maim its new owner i have to wonder if MS even okayed that inclusion in the first place O.O
Mike @ Jul 9th 2007 2:19AM
That movie sucked pretty hard. I can see how little kids or tween agers would like it. I agree with the guy that said Bay is an idiot. Thanks Spielberg for hiring this hack and ruining what could have been a kick ass movie.
Johnathon @ Jul 9th 2007 7:30AM
@8...me and a couple of other guys laughed at that too. pure gold.
i liked it, it more the beat out my expectations. It had to be updated to fit our little disposable 8sec world with the special effects and LINKIN PARK! but its cool, i will accept it.
more then meets the eye about you!
RogueStorm @ Jul 9th 2007 9:23AM
What would have been funny is to see a PS3 change into a George Foreman grill....wait....nevermind. :D
Tom @ Jul 9th 2007 11:19AM
eh?
dude, i was just saying that the abscence of Soundwave didn't affect this movie at all and that Frenzy is more like a Gremlin than Jar Jar.
and i'm sooo sorry i was blind to the fact that you are the true alter ego of the long dead Vonnegut. it won't happen again your majesty! lol ;p
FANBOYS UNITE, DOWN WITH MICHEAL BAY! SOUNDWAVE FOR LIFE!!
Grindstone @ Jul 9th 2007 12:46PM
From what I understand, Soundwave, the Destructacons, Dinobots, etc. will be in the PREQUEL, although a sequel has been announced as well.
And Michael Bay should be let go. The movie did excede my expectations, and Megan Fox is a real hottie, but Bay dropped the ball in some areas.
Neeko @ Jul 9th 2007 1:39PM
1.Megan Fox is utterly HOT, AMAZING AND def in my top 10 now.
2.The movie was great. action was sharp and seeing the AUTOBOTS on the screen made my jaw drop.
3.I didnt think Bay did that bad of a job. Look at what he was directing. you gotta keep the movie under 3hours and keep the action flowing.
3.SPOILER COMING.................................................
Megatron kicked primes ASS...So sad...lol
