Thanks to wdwnt.com via Rookbartley on the 2005 Boards for the heads up – Transformers Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are both on display in vehicle mode over at Universal Studios Hollywood on the City Walk. That means no need for entry, you can pop over and check them out in person. There is also a QR code that allows for a AR experience and chance to enter a contest held by Paramount. They have a couple more shots of the cars so hit the link above to check the rest out!
For those of you using Snapchat – there is a new AR lens available which allows you to record your own car and have it transform into a full size robot (on your screen). You can check the lens out here: Transform Your Car Lens by Paramount Pictures.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts presents the Transform Your Car AR Lens on Snapchat. For the first time, Transformers fans can experience what they’ve always imagined: seeing their own car convert into a full-size robot. Built on SnapML, Snapchat’s machine learning technology, a user’s phone can scan any car—regardless of make, model, year or color—and watch as it converts into a robot.
Paramount Pictures is the first brand to utilize CarML (Machine Learning), a new technology created using SnapAR to apply effects to cars everywhere. The Transform Your Car Lens experience brings the blockbuster IP to every fan by giving them a Transformer, created from their own car.
Via Geek Culture YouTube channel we have a brief but interesting interview with Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
About expanding the Transformers universe, Lorenzo comments: “One of the advantages of doing 1994 is you don’t have to live with every decision we made in the earlier movies”.
Listen to the interview after the jump, but be aware that THERE ARE REALLY HEAVY SPOILERS, specially from a particular scene. If you decided to watch it anyway, leave your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
