Happy Fourth of July!

Today is July Fourth and as I posted a ton of information about John Paul Jones last night from my research back in the day, I'm wondering if anyone else has any heroes that they want to talk about?

Well, Robert Stack, the amazing actor, was also the voice actor for Ultra Magnus who debuted in the old Transformers movie- the classic cartoon one. To honor John Paul Jones and Robert Stack, I'm taking my brother out to see Bay's current take on Transformers; TF3: Dark of the Moon.

Fwd: Character Transformations in the Dark of the Moon - Sponsored Geekout

The guys at www.GEEKCHICDAILY.com happen to have the scoop on the TF3 characters. This should help make the Michael Bay movie so much more interesting!

Character Transformations in the Dark of the Moon - Sponsored Geekout

Meet the new 'bots. Not the same as the old 'bots.

Every Transformers movie steps it up from the prior installment and Dark of the Moon is no different, adding 3-D and amping up the action. It also super-charges the cast. Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand are now on board, but the new robots have some lengthy pedigrees too.

Prime Numbers - The mustachioed robot revealed in the first teaser? That'd be Optimus Prime's predecessor Sentinel Prime. Debuted in the '80s comics, he's now a fire truck voiced by Leonard Nimoy, who also played the evil Galvatron in the 1986 animated feature. Nimoy is married to director Michael Bay's cousin Susan and arranged permission to shoot scenes for the first film at Griffith Park Observatory.

Shock and Awesome - The sinister Shockwave began as a Japanese toy named Astro Magnum, who changed into a kid-sized handgun. Super-sized onscreen, the character has traditionally had a coldly logical personality inspired by Star Trek's Spock, who was played by...yep, Leonard Nimoy again.

Feathers Will Fly - The latest Decepticon henchman is a bird-shaped metal monster named Laserbeak. In the original cartoon and toy, this flying fiend concealed itself in the form of a most non-threatening cassette tape. The digital age works wonders, as the upgraded bad bird is now an avian assassin with multiple, more-modern modes.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon morphs minds in theaters everywhere starting today.
