Gadget mag T3 is reporting that robots appearing in the upcoming live-action "Transformers" movie will be upgraded to reflect some of the advances in gadgetry (http://dw.com.com/redir?destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.t3.co.uk%2Fnews%2F2 47%2Fgeneral%2Fgeneral%2Ftransformers_movie_goes_g adget-mad&siteId=3&oId=2061-10786_3-6084008&ontId=10784&lop=nl.ex) over the last 20 years. The magazine says they got a peak at a leaked copy of the movie's screenplay, which revealed robots that turn into an iPod, Xbox 360 and a plasma television. And while that may sound like heresy to fans of the original show and line of toys, it really is in keeping with the spirit of the franchise. After all, when I got my very own toy Soundwave (a Decepticon robot that turned into a portable cassette player), that was some serious cutting-edge stuff for the time.
The movie, which is being directed by Michael Bay and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, is scheduled to be released the 4th of July in 2007.
