High Speed Halo presents Halo 3, The Storm, SLA, in 9:51 by Dark Devastation.
High Speed Halo presents their fourth speed run. One cannot speak of Halo 3 SLASO without mentioning the name Pahis. There was a time when he held every SLASO and high-score record for Halo 3. Pahis defended his records with fierce determination and would swiftly crush any oncomers with seemingly unbeatable new records.
One such battle was fought on The Storm, where Dark Devastation submitted a run of 12:23, beating Pahis' existing record by over one minute. Pahis quickly hit back with a 11:18, followed immediately by a finishing blow of 9:53. Fast forward several years. It looks like Dark Devastation has healed his wounds and decided to return to the battlefield with a 9:51. Will this be enough to bring the old warrior Pahis out of retirement? Stay tuned....
Visit http://highspeedhalo.net/ to submit your own speed runs, and tune in to Halo Waypoint every week for a new episode.

The only thing that annoyed me about the The Dark Knight Trilogy, was Bale's voice as Batman. Don't get me wrong, he was a badass, and he played Bruce Wayne perfectly, but that voice was...uuuuugghhh.
I understand, that there are a number of reasons why he uses that type of voice, but it still doesn't make it any less annoying.
With that said, Levitt's Batman will be interesting to see, and hopefully he will bring something different this time around. I have my guesses that the villains they will probably use will be The Black Mask, Husk, Deadshot, Hugo Strange, The Riddler(done right this time) in the Batman Reboot. I'd love to see either The Riddler, Black Mask and Husk used. They would be pretty fuckin cool.

On Monday, in his opening remarks at the second part of the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics, Lord Justice Leveson said he found 'publicly expressed concerns' about the inquiry 'troubling'. Well, m'lud, you had better prepare to be further troubled. For today, spiked launches the Counter-Leveson Inquiry, an intellectual two-fingered salute to the creeping conformism and censoriousness being unleashed by the Leveson process.
The most remarkable thing about Leveson's admission to feeling troubled by public criticisms is that, sadly, there has been very little public criticism of his showtrial of the tabloids. You could count on one hand, or at a stretch two hands, the number of journalists and politicians who have dared to question the right of one judge to marshal celebrities and coppers to the cause of redefining the ethics of the press.
It is alarming that, in a country where the poet John Milton demanded freedom of the press more than 350 years ago, and where many other writers and activists subsequently fought tooth-and-catapult to expel state forces from the worlds of writing and publishing, so many should now acquiesce to an inquiry which gives a judge and his chums the power to tell the media what its morals should be. The conformism amongst the targets of the inquiry – that is, the press – is even more shocking than the cockiness of the organisers of it, those figures of authority who seem to have forgotten that the press is supposed to investigate them, not vice versa.
This is about to change. spiked has been raising concerns about the likely consequences of the crusade against 'unethical' tabloids since before Leveson was set up, and we have continually criticised the Leveson process for creating a censorious climate in the here and now, even before its recommendations have been made. And now we plan to gather together our arguments, and intensify them, in a Counter-Leveson Inquiry which will put the case against Leveson, against judges and police getting to tell the press what its ethics should be, and against any stricture whatsoever on the right of the press, whether highbrow or low-rent, to investigate and publish what it sees fit.
Why? Not because we hold a candle for tabloid newspapers, but because we carry a torch for press freedom, because we believe that Milton's rallying cry is as fitting today as it was in 1644: 'Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.'
We need your support in making a stand for press freedom. Join the Counter-Leveson Inquiry Facebook page – and help us build our war chest by donating generously here.
Time for a serious debate about the welfare state
Has welfarism gone too far? Is it time to trim this massive machine? And more importantly, shouldn't it be trimmed for the *right* reasons - that is, not in order to save the state money but as a way of protecting communities from the negative impact of constant welfarist intervention?
We'll be debating these issues at the next session of our spiked drinks events at Portcullis House in London on Monday 3 June at 6.30pm. Find out more here.

Courageous stories! There is no hope for your yunger generation of gays and lesbians in these countries and they will nto be able to be repressed for too much longer. The web is opening everything up to them and that they can also form their own thoughts free of any religous claptrap!
I can only admire people who have the tenacity to buck the trend and be true to themselves in a society as repressive as that.
It can be a big enough challenge to come out in the UK for some, but when your entire culture is inherently homophobic and sex is simply not discussed, that must make it 10 times harder.
Hope these stories open up a new frontier of LGBT tolerance.
Let's remember – this is exactly how it was in the UK and the US until very very recently.
'The West' has only just begun to turn its own homophobia round over the past 10-20 years or so (and most progress has only really taken place in the past 5-10 years in real terms).
There is nothing inherently homo-friendly about the UK and the US – it must be remembered that ALL political and social changes are only brought about by those individuals brave enough to stand up for what is right….
No equality issue has ever been wrought outside of this principle
I love that Ali thanked Lady Gaga. Just goes to show all the Gaga-haters what a difference she has made.
That aside, well done to these individuals and others like them. When you read things like this it puts things in perspective at how lucky we are to grow up and live in the UK. It also makes me reflect on what I'm like with my father, who is the one person I have not discussed my sexuality with and probably never will. These people are inconceivably brave.
Thank you for sharing your stories. You are both very courageous men. These stories are not uncommon. In fact, there are many others in your place. Even in Canada it is difficult for Muslim men (and women too, I suppose) to be openly gay. I remember one man very quietly telling me that he had had other men to his apartment, and another who didn't want to speak openly, for fear that someone whould hear him.
I have lived in many countries of the Middle East and the UAE is possibly one of the most liberal ones. I am a discreet British gay guy but did not find any problem being gay . There is no need to be effeminate- just because you like men does not mean you have to act as a girl. In my personal experience there are many thousands of young and older gays enjoying relationships and gay sex – but they don't have to make a big fuss and shout about it. Yes it has to be discreet but then again so does love / sex between a guy and a woman.
I'm sorry but that sounds like you're in denial.
Just because you were able to go 'undetected' is not some kind of badge of honour as you seem to be suggesting.
I find it disgusting that you are effectively (as do many closeted men) laying blame for being 'caught out' at the feet of those who are gay as opposed to the shameless idiocy of a deluded state denying its citizens their basic Legal (internationally agreed) Human Rights.
Homophobia is a breach of those Human Rights and should be condemned whenever and whereever it raises its ugly head…

If you have ever watched a TV quiz show you have probably seen contestants trying to press a button in order to win a chance to answer a question. The contestant's quick reaction time results in some kind of light and/or sound indicating victory. This is a practical way to choose the next focus of the game's activity and it adds a bit of excitement to the process. So when my company's holiday party planning committee decided to have a trivia contest I decided to build a quiz contestant lockout system to add an extra dimension of fun to the festivities. This would help the planning committee's mission of creating some entertaining activities for the event.
The minimum requirements were to have a system with multiple buttons that contestants press for a chance to answer a question. The first one to press the button would lock out the other contestants. The system would need to have a simple way to quickly identify who pushed their button first. And finally the system would need to be reset for the next round.
Considering the venue of the holiday party (an upscale wine bar) I felt that the contestant buttons would be one of the most important features. They needed to be hefty and able to withstand abuse by hoards of "beverage enhanced" partygoers. Fortunately I had encountered a really good contestant button candidate while visiting the local office supply store. Staples' "Easy Button", as made famous in their humorous ad campaign, is available in their stores. This device is a palm sized button modeled after the one seen in the Staples commercials. It is battery operated with a speaker that says "That was easy" when the button is pressed. It is well made and the ideal shape and size for use by a quiz contestant.
Given that the button is a self-contained electronic device I was confident that I could open it up and extend the switch functionality to the system I was building. The $5 cost was reasonable for the quality of the item. Plus Staples is donating the proceeds from the sale of their Easy Buttons (up to $1,000,000.00) to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. So, planning to build a system that would allow four contestants to play at once, I grabbed four of these and left the store feeling good about my purchase for a number of reasons.
Now that I had the contestant user interface worked out I needed to decide how to implement the system functionality. Due to time constraints this needed to be done with material I already had. This turned out to be an Arduino Uno, one of Adafruit's Proto Shield kits and some miscellaneous parts. This intro section includes a picture of the completed system that I dubbed the "Quiz-O-Tron 3000" (QT3K for short).
Step 1: Tools and Materials
If you are new to microcontrollers or curious about controlling electronic devices with the Arduino, you may find this instructable helpful. In addition to some background info and explanations, I have included information in some of the steps that may provide you with techniques that can be used for other projects. I'll discuss some alternate uses for the hardware built for this project later. But for now, here is a list of the tools and materials that were used to create the QT3K.

int maxPins = 4; // Max number of pin sets
..to this...
int maxPins = 3; // Max number of pin sets
...and you should be good to go.
for the temp button did you solder the leads to the terminals of the button?
because i dont want to go spend alot for easy buttons, is it possible to run a temp switch (one similar to a arcade game button) instead without inserting any resistors?
and you are right about the PWM circuits. I was thinking that a RGB LED could be used to give an indication to who chimed in first, second, what have you could be illuminated with a corresponding color, and the first responder could get the rainbow effect
of course, I believe this wold entail replacing the 555 timer with a ATmini with the proper code, that could be triggered by the MCU.
once again, great work!
and the Arduino is pretty there is also the notion of of having a scoreboard, perhaps one on each slap unit. but I'm thinking we would be approaching a Arduino unit or just a custom PCB with a Atmega in each base unit
I would be interested to learn about your version. Keep me posted.
Please can you give an approximate cost in dollars of this project. Also, you only listed where the arduino and the shield can be purchased, can I assume that everything else is available at radioshack. This is a really impressive instructable and I admire the fact that you've laid it out so elegantly. Thank you for your time.
I mocked up the project using my arduino but then transferred the 328 to a perfboard arduino that cost about $7.
Bought 1 project box for the brains at radio shack for $3.
A handful of LEDs.
A spook of telephone wire for the hookups between the buttons and brains. ~$7.
Also you could go cheaper on the connectors (or go without) between the buttons and base station.
I think that was it. So you could get away with spending possibly under $30.
I'm starting to get things prepared for this build, even attempting to use the suzo/happs buttons if possible like masterhibb. Thanks in advance
They're more expensive than the Staples buttons, but they've got a much nicer feel to them, and they are still built to stand up to abuse (since they're designed to be mashed on hundreds of thousands of times at an arcade). They also have the added benefits of coming in multiple colors, and having a built-in light so the whole dome can glow when the player buzzes in.
Thanks for the post!
the project is great! and i want to build it. My dad made the suggestion that why use the 555 time module at all?
Can't the software make the transitor go on and off so that the led's also go on and off ?? Then you don't need the whole 55 time thing and you could adjust the blinking speed as wel! plus it'll be less expensive to build and less time consuming.
Any ideas? I'm going to try this out for myself, but b4 i do i'd like to know if this is at all possible?
You certainly could do as your dad suggests and have all the LEDs blink in a programmable pattern. I used the 555 circuit because I have a ton of them laying around and the circuit allowed me to easily implement LEDs that blink with an alternating on/off pattern. Plus I plan to add sound effects to that 555 circuit board so I just want the microcontroller to send an on/off signal.
Let me know how your version works out.

EUGENE, Ore. (KMTR) -- Prescribed burns began today in the West Eugene Wetlands. The burning was set parallel to the Amazon bike path, along Amazon Creek.
The Eugene District Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says the fires are necessary for the wetland ecosystem. Though many people voice health concerns with the rising smoke, the BLM wants to assure residents they take a lot of precautions before setting prescribed burns.
"Well, we do work with LRAPA, and we do wait for the most ideal circumstances before we would set a burn," says Michael Mascari of the Eugene BLM.
"One of the things we look for is the wind direction and the wind speed, because the last thing we want to do is to smoke out the valley. So we're very careful to make sure the temperatures and the conditions are ideal. That it's not too windy, it's not too dry, it's not too hot."
Mascari says they've already had a couple burns this summer in rural areas. There may be a couple more before the end of the year.
He says the fires not only help the wetlands immensely, they also offer a great training opportunity for first-time firefighters.

5 Things: One Meeting Canceled, Brisk Walking and Planning Ahead

Disney's John Carter has a lot going for it. Which makes it unfortunate that the film has such a big handicap: All John Carter wants to be is an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's A Princess of Mars, and on that front (though I'm not personally familiar with Burrough's work), I think it succeeds. But despite the fact that the source material this film is based on is nearly 100 years old, many average film-goers are likely to experience the feeling that they've seen it all before. Read the rest of this entry »
Believe it or not, this summer has already brought us three movies based on comics or graphic novels. Some have done quite well for their franchises (Thor, X-Men: First Class) while others haven't been so lucky (Priest). This weekend brings about the fourth of these films, Green Lantern, which is DC Comics first summer film since last year's train wreck Jonah Hex. With new films in the Superman and Batman franchises on the way, Green Lantern is DC's best bet for a hit until those other superhero monstrosities are released. But before you check out the newest superhero film of this summer, check out some of these under ranked films from the stars of Green Lantern.
Being in the Green Lantern Corps. is a lot like being a U.S. Marshal. You are allocated a certain degree of autonomy and discretion. Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds), however, does not have any of these advantages. A local who happened upon an alien with a dying wish, he finds himself introduced to a world vastly different from his own. As he is the first human Green Lantern, he has to be mentored by a seven foot tall bird named Tomar-Re (Geoffrey Rush is on a roll isn't he?), he can't figure out his ring's oath, and his trainer, Sinestro (Mark Strong) is an ass.
Adam Sandler's latest PG-13 Comedy. It's a loose remake of the Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman and Goldie Hawn classic Cactus Flower. Did you know Nicole Kidman is in this movie? Me neither. The mere mention of her name in a trailer nowadays must kill the opening box office or something. Co-starring Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker, Minka Kelly, Dave Matthews and Nick Swardson.
Mischief is afoot, and only one man is capable of cracking the case. Since Sherlock Holmes' first appearance in 1887, he has captured the imaginations of writers, directors, and audiences alike. Reportedly based on author Arthur Conan Doyle's old professor Dr. Joseph Bell, Holmes is able to do what the police often can't because he has cunning powers of observation, a firm grasp on forensic medicine, and deductive reasoning unmatched by any literary detective to come before or after him. Joined by his faithful sidekick Dr. John Watson, who is often the narrator and an active participant, Holmes set new standards for crime fiction, and his reach has extended into a third century with Guy Ritchie's latest film. But is this newest version of Holmes capable of besting what many consider to be the character's finest cinematic appearance, helmed by the immeasurable abilities of director Bob Clark (Porky's, Black Christmas, A Christmas Story)? Find out in this week's Reel Rumbles with Sherlock Holmes vs. Murder by Decree.

Press Releases
President Ma Meets US State of Hawaii Governor Linda LinglePost Date:2008/11/22
President Ma Ying-jeou on the afternoon of November 18 at the Presidential Office met with US State of Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle. President Ma, on behalf of the government and people of the ROC (Taiwan), extended a warm welcome to Governor Lingle. President Ma commented that this is the second visit by Governor Lingle to Taiwan, the previous one being seven years ago. This also marks the third meeting between the two. The last time they met was in January 2003. At the time, he said, Governor Lingle had just assumed the governorship of Hawaii. Meanwhile, President Ma, who then was Taipei mayor, was the first foreign dignitary that Governor Lingle met in office. President Ma said that Taiwan and Hawaii maintain close interaction and exchanges. He said that the Taiwan film Cape No. 7 won Best Narrative Film at the Hawaii Film Festival. The president also noted that Governor Lingle supports Taiwan's participation in the World Health Assembly and World Health Organization. He expressed his appreciation to her for her support in this regard. President Ma said that while he is aware that Governor Lingle faced some hurdles ahead of making this visit to Taiwan, the obstacles were able to be overcome. He said this demonstrates the deep friendship between Taiwan and Hawaii. President Ma also said Taiwan and Hawaii share a long history of strong relations. He noted that the ROC's founding father Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Honolulu established the Revive China Society, which dates back 114 years. He said that Dr. Sun is revered by people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The president added that a bronze statue of Dr. Sun was just last week returned to its historical position in the Entrance Hall in the Presidential Building. The president said that Dr. Sun studied at two high schools in Hawaii and looked upon Hawaii as his home away from home. Governor Lingle thanked President Ma for taking time out of his busy schedule to meet with her. She and the president exchanged opinions on the development of the new energy industry, the global financial crisis, and the improvement in cross-strait relations. Governor Lingle was joined by Hawaii State Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism Director Theodore Em-Po Liu and University of Hawaii at Hilo Chancellor Rose Tseng. The delegation was accompanied to the Presidential Office in the afternoon by Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Javier Ching-shan Hou. Also in attendance was National Security Council Deputy Secretary-General Ho Szu-yin. |

Critical 10: Dylan Knockoffs
- Best of List
From homage to parody to blatant rip-off.
50 years of Bob Dylan records has meant nearly 50 years' worth of Bob Dylan imitations. Here's 10 of our favorites, plus a special extra.
Check out our playlist in Spotify here.
1. Donovan -- Catch the Wind (1965)
For a while, it seemed like Scottish folksinger Donovan would forever only be known as the guy Dylan casually destroys with an offhand version of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" in Don't Look Back, until he managed to hit the charts with a fairly groovy set of not particularly Dylanesque psych-pop tunes. But this 1965 debut single remains one of the best early imitations of post-protest, pre-electric Dylan, with a refrain that stands on its own merits.
2. The Beatles -- You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (1965)
John Lennon openly admitted that this melancholy acoustic gem was explicitly inspired by circa-'64 Dylan. Legend has it that Dylan first introduced The Beatles to marijuana, but I've never really bought that. The Beatles spent years in Hamburg, playing hours-long sets in seedy nightclubs fueled by booze and cheap pharmaceutical speed: you mean nobody in the rough section of a port city had a bag of weed on them?
3. Mouse and the Traps -- A Public Execution (1966)
"A Public Execution" is a Dylan imitation so blatant and thorough that it becomes bizarrely awesome. Basically a thinly-disguised rewrite of "Like A Rolling Stone," this regional hit by a little-known combo from the college town of Tyler, Texas (originally released under the name Mouse, the nickname of singer-songwriter Ronnie Weiss) gained a new lease on life when Lenny Kaye included it on Nuggets in 1972.
4. Simon and Garfunkel -- A Simple Desultory Philippic (1966)
This is perhaps the first Dylan imitation meant as parody instead of homage, and it's actually rather brutal. In his Dylan biography No Direction Home, critic Robert Shelton posits that the song may have been inspired when he and Dylan were watching Simon perform at a New York City folk club and got into a giggle fit unrelated to his performance; thinking Dylan was laughing at him, the outraged Simon wrote and recorded this one-finger salute to electric-era Dylan. Could be, but either way, it's a great song filled with lots of folk-scene in-jokes.
5. The Rolling Stones -- Jig-Saw Puzzle (1968)
Side one of Beggars Banquet closes with this lengthy Blonde on Blonde pastiche. A honking country blues that sounds like half the band was nodding out (which they may well have been), the song's images are so clearly Dylan-inspired that Mick Jagger might have written them in the style of a Brion Gysin cut-up, simply cutting the lyric sheets of several Dylan songs into ribbons and recombining them at random.
6. Townes van Zandt -- Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel (1969)
Steve Earle once famously said "Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." But even the late great Van Zandt had his heroes, and this lengthy tune from his third album sounds directly inspired by Dylan's "Desolation Row" era.
7. Mott the Hoople -- Laugh At Me (1969)
If you only know Mott the Hoople from the "All The Young Dudes" era, check out their first few albums and prepare to have your mind blown. Producer/mastermind Guy Stevens described the sound they were going for as "Bob Dylan backed by the Rolling Stones," a combo best captured on -- of all things -- this completely straight version of Sonny Bono's protest anthem "Laugh At Me," a song that could not possibly have sounded more dated in 1969.
8. Stealers Wheel -- Stuck in the Middle with You (1972)
Supposedly, generations of casual fans have thought that this song by the Scottish duo of Gerry Rafferty (yes, the guy who later had the massive hit "Baker Street") and Joe Egan was in fact a Dylan track, but I don't know of any of Bob's tunes that are quite so jaunty. The song overall is a barely veiled diss of the music industry as a whole (Rafferty claimed it was inspired by a business lunch in which record executives and managers argued amongst themselves while completely ignoring him), with the specific Dylanesque tinge of the use of the words "clowns" and "jokers," both of which do show up regularly in his lyrics.
9. Dire Straits -- Sultans of Swing (1978)
When Dire Straits' first album came out in 1978, a number of critics fell over themselves in a rush to compare its overall sound to Dylan with The Band. In retrospect (particularly as Mark Knopfler and company refined their trademark sound into something that was approaching self-parody by 1985's Brothers In Arms), that comparison seems a bit less obvious. But Knopfler's tossed-off, half-mumbled vocal delivery on this first big hit does still sound remarkably Dylanesque.
10. The Tallest Man on Earth -- I Won't Be Found (2008)
Lest you think Dylan was no longer inspiring the youngsters, check out this track from Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson, whose delivery, imagery and guitar style are all directly inspired by Dylan's pre-electric period. As long as there are guitars and microphones, there will be New Dylans.
Bonus: Talking New Bob Dylan -- Loudon Wainwright III (1992)
And speaking of New Dylans, we close with this song written for the master's 50th birthday by one of the first singer-songwriters to struggle with the deadly label "The New Bob Dylan." Loudon Wainwright III is too caustic, neurotic and weird to be anybody but himself, but this hilarious and oddly affectionate talking blues recalls what it's like to deal with that level of expectation through no fault of your own.

This question originally appeared on Quora. Answer by Faye Wang...
I am probably oversimplifying, but Dany just wants to win back her kingdom at any cost, Catelyn's actions were all motivated by family, Cersei wants the crown, many of Sansa's earlier decisions are based on infatuation, Arya is just plain wild.
If you didn't know that this week's episode, "The Bear and the Maiden Fair," had been written by George R.R. Martin, would you ever have guessed it? The plot deviated even further from the books than it did in "The Climb."
Yep, Sunday is Mother's Day. But no one will show off what a loving, beautiful mom you have quite like the 10 worst TV moms of all-time.
According to Renata Sellitti of Thrillist, girls hate "Game of Thrones." Her reasoning is as follows: there's too much female nudity, the incest thing...
Of all the episodes this season -- or possibly even of the series -- "The Climb" was the one that deviated furthest from the plot of the books. Many of the scenes were completely new.
This question originally appeared on Quora. Answer by ...
Of all the things, Theon's tormentor says, the only thing I genuinely believe is this: "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." Honestly, I think the same could be said for this whole series.
What happens when passion collides with politics? If the two forces come into conflict, which wins out? And how does the clash affect everyone watching it from the sidelines?
Nobody's quite sure who Jon Snow is serving, but Ygritte intends to find out, wasting no time executing the nudity clause in actress Rose Leslie's contract. I loved the part where she asks him, "Why are you still dressed?" Ygritte, have you been watching this show?
Now, I know what you're thinking. "That sounds awesome and I see few if any problems with implementing it. Let's do it." Though I tend to agree, it may be worth assessing with a slightly more critical eye. Let's a take look at some of the "Pros" and "Cons" of the TbC system.
In this episode, as in most, everyone's being played by someone, though some people are canny enough to realize what's going on. The situation seems even more desperate this week and all the drama makes this the best and most exciting episode so far this season.
Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind." But Muhammad Ali spoke for "Game of Thrones" when he said, "You kill my dog, you better hide your cat." Yes, revenge is the theme of this week's episode. Everybody wants some.
She's still on the other side of the world. She still doesn't have any money or land. But there's no doubting that Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen, has inside her what it takes to be queen.

'Transformers' transforms warplanes into stars

Aside from helicopters, other aircraft have been featured and continue to be featured in Hollywood films. Usually, warplanes star in action films to bring more oomph to the films. But these bad boys don't come cheap because they cost thousands of dollars to "act." Some go for solely CGI instead. Still, these thousand-dollar aircraft bring in more audiences so no loss but more gain for the producers.
One movie that incorporated both real aircraft and CGI is the blockbuster film Transformers. Other than land vehicles, this film used aircraft like an F-22 Raptor for the character Starscream. Starscream is one of the enemy Decepticons which originally transforms into an F-15 Eagle based on the cartoon movie The Transformers: The Movie which was released on August 8, 1986.
Other aircraft used were F-117 Nighthawks, CV-22 Osprey, A-10 Thunderbolt II, C-17 Globemaster III, MH-53 Pave Low, HH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant, AC-130 Gunship, C-130 Hercules, MQ-1 Predator, and Air Force One. Looks like these bad boys aren't just cutout for war but also for "acting", too, so move aside Herbie.
Most of us thought that prominent fighter aircraft used in first Transformers film were mind-blowing but our whole heads got blown off when we saw the sequel Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Starring again was the C-17 Globemaster III, and new planes like the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the SR-71 Blackbird. The SR-71 Blackbird was used for the character Jetfire. This character was depicted as a VF-1S Super Valkyrie, as an F-14 Tomcat, and as a Sukhoi SU-27 In earlier toy models.
Though not an aircraft, another bad boy… girl rather, was featured in the sequel. The USS John C. Stennis aircraft also starred in the film making it bigger and better.
Aside from blowing our minds and/or heads off, Hollywood blockbusters keep us asking for more and with Transformers 3 being released on the 1st of July next year, will it finally blow every bit of us away?
