A Closer Look at the Autobot Ark!

Presenting from the Transformers Dark of the Moon Toy Line, the Autobot's Ark with the Autobot Roller.

If you've watched the movie, then you've seen the DOTM Ark as the vehicle used by Sentinel Prime to break free of Cybertron. The Ark was damaged and drifted for ages before crashing into the moon. The discovery of the Ark by the original Apollo 11 team helped kick off the creation of Sector 7. The Decepticons eventually found the wreckage of the Ark and made off with hundreds of Space Bridge Pillars except for five Space Bridge Pillars and the Control Rod which were locked away with Sentinel Prime in the vault.




I've actually had the DOTM Ark for some time - all the way before Christmas where it's retail price dropped from over PhP 1,5000 (US$ 34) to PhP 700 (US$ 15) to PhP 500 (US$ 11.36) which it still retails for today in practically all Toy Kingdom and Toy's R' Us stores here in the Philippines. Kinda makes me feel sorry though for whoever bought him for PhP 700 because it was only at that price for a week before dropping to PhP 500.

I have wanted one ever since the previews for the DOTM Toy Line started appearing. But I always assumed - well, dreamed - that it would be bigger. So I was disappointed with the reality that it was meant for Legends Class Transformers and left it on the shelves. But when the price dropped to such a low, I had to grab it.

Michael Bay IS coming back to direct Transformers 4

Call it what you will, but the guy who brought the robots in disguise to the big screen (with lots of explosions and babes) is coming back for a fourth installment.

Via MTV News and Comic Book Movie, it has been learned in an MTV News interview with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura that director Michael Bay will indeed be returning to direct a fourth Transformers film. It won't be a straightforward sequel, but a "reboot" of sorts, and the producer goes to call it an "evolution" of the film series instead of starting the process all over again.

Collider has also noted the story, and here's the official press release of the film, as released and confirmed by Paramount. It also features details on Bay's other new movie "Pain and Gain", which stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
