Yet Another Transformers-Less Transformers Clip
This time, it’s the charismatic Josh Duhamel giving a moving speech to his troops, exhorting them to battle. This seemingly flies in the face of the fact that 1) individual soldiers have never once damaged a Transformer in either of the first two movies and 2) Josh Duhamel has no charisma. Oh well.
You know, it occurs to me that maybe the reason the Racist Twins aren’t in Transformers 3 is because… well… none of the Transformers are in the movie. I mean, isn’t it possible that Bay just went ahead and cut out all the giant robot footage so he could focus solely on footage of the military gearing up for battle, the Beef’s parents having unfunny conversations, and their dogs humping various things? You know it’s what he’d rather be doing.
