*facepalm* This is terrible, I actually felt appalled listening to this. Then reading everyone's comments.

Well... he sounded cool saying #1... kinda... *cries*

Wow, that wasn't funny at all. I never liked Letterman's Top 10 lists.

Much like his jokes and monologue, about 10% of them are funny.

I just watched the YouTube clip and was'nt too impressed -
BUT it was cool to see that they made an effort, and yeah it was
definitely Cullen's voice - overall, not a bad effort, but Dave
needs to retire or get new writers - and I also agree, #6 shoulda been #1!

Not the funniest, but that was pretty awesome. Doesn't it take hours for one frame of animation? I'm suprised they animated all that for just the late show lol. Still awesome seeing Prime in motion anyways.

The animation looks great. Anyone know if they got ILM to do that for them?

its probably because Letterman is filmed live on video and not film. So the CGI comes out a little more due to that.

but i gotta say i love the fact they kept his face plate on and made it move like the cartoon. there's your proof that Bay was totally wrong for giving him a proper mouth. it looked fine.

also i hope this gets added as an extra on the dvd/blu-ray.

I like it when Prime shifts from normal stance to battle mode stance with the clamping of his face plate. It brings more of an impact to the fights, like when Bumblebee's protective helmet snaps into place.

Actually, that was the only good joke from the top 10... the rest of them contained references I don't know anything about or were just plain bad.

Youtube yanked the video b/c CBS bitched. Still would like to see this - anybody have a link to it??
Thx.

edit: NM -- found it on late show website. It was alright, but could've been funnier/better
