Just for clarification...
The story may be based off of G1, but the cars themselves are not. They are actually based off of the Alternators (Binaltech in Japan) line of toys. Hasbro has taken today's real cars and updated most of our favorite characters (Viper, Honda S2000, Mustang, RX-8, Scion xB, Corvette, Subaru WRX, Acura RSX, Jeep, etc etc). Thats why the stock photos from the movie are modern cars.

The live-action "Transformers" movie has been set to open nationwide on July 4th 2007, it was jointly announced today by DreamWorks Pictures, Hasbro, Inc. and Paramount Pictures.

The feature, based on the globally popular Transformers franchise, will be directed by Michael Bay (upcoming "The Island," "Armageddon") from a screenplay being written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (upcoming "The Island"). Steven Spielberg ("War of the Worlds") is executive producing the film, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura (upcoming "Four Brothers"), Tom DeSanto ("X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United") and Don Murphy ("The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") serving as co-executive producers.

In making the announcement, DreamWorks head of distribution Jim Tharp stated, "Under the direction of Michael Bay, and with Steven Spielberg executive producing, we know that 'Transformers' is going to be the kind of explosive action movie that is perfect for the height of the summer movie season. By staking our claim on the 4th of July, 2007, we ensure that we not only have the time to make this movie the way it should be made, but also to build excitement and awareness leading up to its release."


DreamWorks will distribute the film domestically, while Paramount will handle the international release. Hasbro will work with the production team and DreamWorks on all aspects of the film's creative development, marketing and promotions, and will manage merchandising in conjunction with the release of the film.

This week, DreamWorks is launching the official "Transformers" movie website (www.transformers.com) at Comic-Con International, being held from July 13 - 17 in San Diego, California. "Transformers" will also be making its presence at the convention known in a big way, with a huge 18-wheeler truck sporting the instantly recognizable Transformers logo dominating the area near the DreamWorks booth--and much of the convention floor--letting thousands of fans know that "Transformers" is coming to the big screen on 07-04-07.
