Dark of the Moon

TUMBLR! I deeply apologize for the extended hiatus. Life is sometimes hard. But, to make it up to you, I return, for the first time in a long time, with, gasp, an actual essay analyzing the actual aesthetics of a transformers toyline! We’ve got Dark of the Moon, people!

Without further ado,

Transformers: Dark of the Moon was the third entry into the series of Michael Bay’s Transformers movies. Dark of the Moon (DOTM) continued to evolve the aesthetics of the film franchise, and introduced many of the aesthetic traits that would come to define subsequent films, such as extremely human Autobots and drawing and occasionally tweaking pre-existing models from previous films to fill out the cast. The toyline continued to evolve many of the features found in previous movie toylines, such as automated gimmickry, high levels of complexity, Human Alliance figures, and others.

Aesthetically, DOTM is significantly busier than its predecessors. In many respects, ROTF represents a smooth and fairly coherent outgrowth of the visual language of the first film. While DOTM is clearly drawn from the same source, sometimes quite literally, it lacks much of the unity of the earlier media. Although one concept artist, Josh Nizzi, was responsible almost all of the designs of Dark of the Moon (“Nizzi continued Megatron's evolution, as well as designing Shockwave, Soundwave and Laserbeak, the Wreckers and Dreads...pretty much everybody except Wheeljack and Brains”, the straight reuse of models from ROTF and the first film, the presence of many generics without alternate modes, and the iconic elements of the aforementioned characters Wheeljack and Brains contributes to the lack of a strong aesthetic identity for DOTM. (Apcog)

Like Revenge of the Fallen before it, DOTM reused the models of the core cast of autobots, with minor cosmetic changes for Bumblebee and others, and back characters from previous films as themselves, most notably Barricade. (ItsWalky, Dark) However, DOTM also uses generic models to fill out a large army of generic enemies. One of the central plot points of DOTM is a pitched battle in Chicago, featuring wave upon wave of Decepticons versus the Autobots. (ItsWalky, Dark) In order to have the requisite number of bodies to fill out a whole army, DOTM adopted several approaches. Several generics with unique models were created; many of these were only onscreen for a handful of seconds, and never received a figure or even a name. It is often possible to watch the entire movie without realizing that a particular model, like that of new character Devcon, has been on screen. (Tom Servo) Most of the characters, however, were straight asset reuses from the previous films. Examples include Scrapper and Long Haul, two ROTF era decepticon models, reuse of the first movie Brawl/Demolisher M1 Abrams model, Sideway’s Audi R8 from ROTF, Lensmeter decepticons, reusing Scalple’s ROTF model, and others. (ItsWalky, Dark). While ROTF had often used multiple constructicons, particularly in the Egypt scene, to pad the ranks of the enemy forces, those models originated in that film, and aren’t reuse in the sense employed here. This reuse somewhat complicates the issue of what can be said to be the aesthetic of Dark of the Moon; obviously, these models are part of the finished film. However, they are simply drawn wholesale from previous efforts. They constitute, therefore, a part of the aesthetic of the film despite not being originally from it, creating one of many subcategories of the aesthetic of the movie.

We also find a lack of cohesion in the designs that are original to DOTM as well. In the first movie, the Decepticons were all military vehicles, with the exception of Megatron, who didn’t have an earth based alternate mode, and Barricade, who turned into a police car. (ItsWalky, Transformers) In DOTM, there is no such clear unifying element. On the Decepticon side, five new characters are introduced; Shockwave, Laserbeak, and the three Dreads. (ItsWalky, Dark) Megatron and Soundwave also receive completely overhauled designs. (Apcog) All of these characters have very distinct alternate modes and high level concepts. The dreads are three different robots that each turn into identical chevy suburbans. (Khajidha, Dreads) Laserbeak can turn into anything (SFH, Laserbeak). Soundwave turns into a fancy Mercedes (Servitor 2152). Megatron turns into a Mad Max styled Mack truck, and Shockwave doesn’t actually transform in the film, although his toys are generally given some pseudo tank alternate mode. (M Sipher, Shockwave; Dark T Zeratul)

The robot modes share this lack of cohesion. In the first movie, the decepticons all shared monstrous proportions and strongly angular, insectoid heads. In DOTM, Laserbeak is a bird, and the Dreads are based on nothing so much as the Predator. (SFH, Laserbeak ; Khadijah, Dreads) Like the Dreads, Shockwave is quite monstrous, but lacks earth based alternate mode detailing. (M Sipher, Shockwave) His head is no longer clearly insectoid, and is quite visually distinct from those of the Dreads, or Soundwave’s new head. While Megatron was much the same in ROTF, in DOTM he once again has an alternate mode, and sheds much of the anonymous metal tangles that once comprised his robot mode in favor of vehicle kibble, differentiating him from Shockwave.

The Autobots also had a lot going on. Several autobots were introduced for this movie; Dino, Sentinel Prime, Wheeljack (Que), Brains, and the Wreckers. (ItsWalky, Dark) As with the Decepticons, each of these has a very pronounced aesthetic, but they don’t have much in common with each other. Sentinel Prime draws many visual cues from Optimus Prime’s design, particularly around the head, in the way his legs are shaped, and the cab chest. (Charles RB) The Wreckers all turn into Nascars (sometimes customized with a massive array of weaponry), and their robot modes feature styling based on the stereotypical Nascar fan such as mullets and shades. (Derik) Brains and Wheeljack have glowing, floaty hair, strangely human eyes, and pronounced teeth. (SFH, Que) To top it all off, all of the Autobots occasionally sport a ‘Stealth Force’ mode, where their vehicles grow an array of weapons comparable to the Wreckers. (ItsWalky, Stealth)

While even from the outset the Autobots had less in common than the Decepticons, in Dark of the Moon there is almost nothing to unify them. Even elements that they had shared before, such as blocky heads, are now largely absent. Dino’s head is quite different from even Sideswipe, who was introduced in the previous film. (M Sipher, Dino) Where before the heads of the Autobots had been blocky, with clearly defined features such as noses and mouths, Dino’s head is largely smooth, with no obvious features other than his unnaturally round eyes. (M Sipher, Dino) Wheeljack and the Wreckers drift in the opposite direction, from humanoid to being essentially metal people. This aesthetic decision presaged things to come; in Age of Extinction and the Last Knight, most of the new characters featured this sort of ‘metal person’ styling.

Each faction has a handful of distinct aesthetics, conspiring overall to give the film a lack of singular purpose in design. Where ROTF and the first movie had featured a strong and well defined visual language, DOTM is a seemingly directionless mix of the work of various artists from various points in time. While individual characters have strong visual identity and design elements, as a whole, the film lacks any unifying elements to focus these individual designs, save perhaps the extreme complexity that is the trademark of the franchise. The result is an aesthetic that feels like nothing so much as an arbitrary grouping of disconnected ideas.

When translated to the toyline, these notions become even more complex, in part because the toyline omits features found in the film, and in part because the toyline introduces features unique to it.

DOTM was the last movie toyline to feature a high proportion of toy only characters; AOE had only two, and one was a redeco of a character who did appear in the film. (Seichi, Age) As a result, the toyline has features of many of the first two movie lines. Toy-only characters tend to have a softer implementation of the iconic movie aesthetic, garnering their highly detailed appearance from detaining on solid pieces of the alt mode, rather than revealing an entirely new set of details in robot mode by rearranging vehicle shell. Like ROTF and the first movie line before it, DOTM issued a slew of retailer exclusive decos of figures, both ones new to DOTM and preexisting ones.(Seichi) These also lend unique design elements to the toyline.

DOTM elaborated on the automated gimmickry in the previous two movie lines. Where before the gimmick had been on the figures themselves, in DOTM, the automated features, now referred to as Mech Tech, were found instead on spring loaded weapon accessories packaged with all figures of deluxe and voyager classes. (Eagc7; Seichi)

The Human Alliance sub-branding was now expanded to include figures roughly analogous in size to the scout figures of previous lines. DOTM also included “the Cyberverse subline featuring Legends Class characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts)” (Seichi;Khajidha) This subline emphasized the interactivity of figures and playsets. Moreover, “toys were roughly in relative scale with each other”, which served to reinforce the concept of Cyberverse, not as individual toys, but as an ecosystem. (Khajidha)

Following in the footsteps of the first two movie lines, DOTM featured many toys targeted at a much younger audience. These included Activators, Bash Bots, Revving Robots and Go-bots, all of which were much simpler figures, often with some sort of autotransformation gimmick. (Seichi) The number of these offerings is somewhat comparable to the larger, more complex figures aimed at older children. (Seichi) This feature of the DOTM line presages an important development in later movie toylines, namely the increasingly well defined breach between figures targeted at collectors and older children. Although ROTF arguably represents the peak of complexity in movie figures, DOTM figures are by no means simplistic. DOTM figures continue to have intricate, sometimes arcane transformation schemes, involved shells to create realistic car modes from the highly stylized robot models of the films, and small, dedicated pieces.

Further complicating the issue of the toyline’s aesthetic, many of the film’s most iconic characters didn’t receive toys at general retail in the United States. “Due to a combination of factors, a number of named characters from the film did not receive "mainline" toy releases, an issue noted by many frustrated fans. Examples include Deluxe Que and Soundwave never seeing a North American release (apparently an issue with retail orders), Dino not receiving a transformable toy at all until 2014 (due to lack of licensing for his vehicle mode), and only one of the three Dreads receiving a Deluxe-or-larger sized toy (likely due to Hasbro not wanting to release three identical black SUVs, even if they do turn into different-looking robots.)” (Seichi, Dark) Leadfoot, one of the Wreckers, got a human alliance toy, but, like Wheeljack and Soundwave, the release of his deluxe figure in the US was totally canceled. (Seichi, Dark) Similarly, many of the characters who’s models were simply reused as generics didn’t receive toys in the line for obvious reasons. Features from the film like Stealth Force weaponry were also found in a limited way on some figures, and to a much more pronounced degree on others, particularly the Wreckers. (Seichi, Dark; Derik) Since many of the members of the cast to receive toys had been originally featured in previous films, it is difficult to find realized in plastic examples of the many aesthetic features that originated in DOTM, such as Que’s hair. This is perhaps the most profound point of divergence in the aesthetics of the toyline and the film itself, and in many ways is a source of significant departure from previous film toylines, which didn’t feature such a gap.

The toyline’s relationship to the aesthetics of the film is not one to one. Many of the most recognizable elements of the film, such as Dino or Stealth Force, are obscured or absent from the line altogether. Other features, like Mech Tech or the plethora of Human Alliance figures, aren’t featured in the film itself at all. Many toy only characters are obviously inspired by the visuals of the movies, but concede more to being figures by featuring less intricate metal detailing and more alt mode kibble. The toyline is still clearly situated in the tradition of movie toylines; complexity, Human Alliance, and automated gimmickry all provide strong ties to the past. Something of the future is also visible in DOTM. The eventual split between toys for younger children and more collector oriented figures in the movie lines is presaged by the contracted scope of the more traditional toyline and the continued presence of more Playskool figures. Similarly, DOTM also defines many of the aesthetic decisions that would strongly sculpt toylines in subsequent films, in particular the extremely human styling of Que.

Overall, from an aesthetic perspective, DOTM is something of a mess. Because there are so many things going on in the film, from Stealth Force to Soundwave’s sports car alternate mode to Sentinel Prime taking cues from Optimus, it becomes difficult to pinpoint what exactly constitutes the aesthetic of DOTM. Certainly, there are several core elements, such as the oft mentioned Stealth Force, the increasingly human designs of new transformers, Wheeljack’s hair, and the reuse of models from previous films, to name a few. However, in many senses, the primary aesthetic feature of Dark of the Moon, both the toyline and the film, is that there are many little aesthetics, such as that of the Dreads or the Wreckers, and these are combined haphazardly with others to create the overall aesthetic of the franchise.

Construção de casas por impressora 3D elimina tempo e custos

De guindaste à impressora 3D, as tecnologias da construção civil não se limitam a mudar os cenários do setor. De modo geral, elas chegam promovendo avanços em todas as áreas da economia e não é algo para o futuro, são processos que já estão sendo inseridos no presente.

As tecnologias já cumprem as funções de agilizar os processos, reduzir custos, eliminar retrabalhos e gerar maior eficiência. Imagine acrescentar a essa equação construir uma casa em poucas horas, com materiais resistentes e custos baixos. É o que promete a construção por meio de impressora 3D. Mas será que isso será possível para a realidade brasileira.

Fiador contraria previsões e permanece como forma de garantia mais utilizada

Como funciona

A impressora utiliza um material específico no momento da impressão (Foto: Shutterstock)

A construção de uma casa feita por meio de uma impressora 3D elimina etapas do processo, resultando em uma redução do tempo para que o projeto seja concluído e também diminuindo os custos, já que utiliza pouco material e também pouca mão de obra.

Na hora de construir, a impressora é levada até o local e ela é posicionada para injetar o material em um molde camada por camada e, justamente por isso, o resultado nos primeiros testes ainda têm deixado um aspecto visual mais rústico da casa. Só depois que as paredes secam é que a construção recebe as portas, janelas e teto.

Afinal de contas, vale a pena reformar o imóvel antes de colocá-lo à venda?

Realidade brasileira

Algumas construtoras já vem utilizando a tecnologia da impressora 3D (Foto: Shutterstock)

Já existem testes com casas construídas através de impressora 3D, mas a tecnologia ainda não chegou a uma escala comercial. No Brasil, no entanto, essa ainda é uma realidade distante.

“Acredito que é um horizonte meio longe, vai levar alguns anos. Ela tem que atingir o básico, ser um método barato, eficiente e resistente. Ainda é prematuro falar em escala comercial para o Brasil”, explica Serapião Bispo, diretor de Ciência e Tecnologia do Sindicato das Indústrias da Construção Civil de Pernambuco (Sinduscon-PE).

O uso de impressoras 3D para a construção de casas esbarra em duas questões para ser implementada no Brasil. “Não acredito que esse seja o caminho para diminuir o déficit habitacional, não acredito que terá escala de grandes proporções, precisa industrializar a construção. Por outro, se ela fosse implementada, reduziria a geração de empregos na construção civil. Por isso, é preciso dar saltos proporcionais”, acrescenta.

Novo ‘Minha Casa, Minha Vida’ deve oferecer pagamento de aluguel ao invés de financiamento de imóveis

Experiências no mundo

A impressora 3D é muito utilizada em diversos países (Foto: Shutterstock)

Várias experiências já estão sendo feitas ao redor do mundo com a tecnologia. Em Nantes, uma família francesa foi a primeira a morar em uma casa construída com impressora 3D. O imóvel é ainda um protótipo e conta com 95 metros quadrados, com quatro quartos.

A impressão durou 54 horas, mas a conclusão das portas, janelas e tetos durou quatro meses. A casa teve valor de US$ 234 mil (aproximadamente R$ 900 mil), uma economia de 20% no custo de uma construção tradicional.

Outro exemplo aconteceu com uma parceria entre a ONG New Story e a construtora Icon, que resultou na construção de uma casa de concreto de 35 m² em 48 horas, em Austin, no Texas. O projeto agora é construir ainda neste mais 100 casas deste tipo em uma pequena comunidade de El Salvador.

A cidade holandesa Eindhoven anunciou no ano passado um projeto para construir um complexo imobiliário para moradia com cinco casas feitas com a ajuda de impressoras 3D.

Proibição de aluguel por temporada em aplicativos já é realidade em alguns condomínios de São Paulo, revela pesquisa

Outras tecnologias

A impressora 3D pode ser associada a outras tecnologias da construção civil (Foto: Shutterstock)

Enquanto a construção civil brasileira ainda aguarda a efetivação de processos como a construção de casas por meio de impressora 3D, vale ressaltar que outras tecnologias já são realidade no setor brasileiro, como é o caso do BIM (sigla para Building Information Modeling). Ele cria modelos virtuais de uma construção que permitem um maior controle ao longo de todo o processo.

“Com o BIM, é possível perceber todas as dimensões, o projeto é modelado e acompanhado como um todo. É possível saber todos os níveis da construção, prever quantidade de material que será usado, eliminando desperdício de material e também de tempo, já que elimina etapas de reconstrução. Desta forma, torna a obra também mais eficiente e sustentável“, afirma Serapião Bispo.

knowing that moonjo was supposed to reenact the scene from k.will’s “please don’t” with the photograph scene (in the original script) kinda makes me think about the song’s lyrics as well. not saying the entire song suits mjjw but some parts really do; “I want to draw out each minute, each second,” “Letting you go is not as easy as it sounds,” “I will hold onto the remaining scent so come back to your place,” headcanoning that jongwoo is waiting for moonjo at the hospital dhnshaha u can ignore this i just wanted to ramble tbh :D have a nice day!! <3

Hi! I hope you're having a good day! :D

It had been many years since I've seen that MV, so I had to watch it again. Of course, I never forgot the ending, but I didn't remember the lyrics had lines like these 😅 Thank you for pointing them out, anon! I'm currently listening to the song on loop. It's better than I remembered it to be?

I want to compliment the SFH screenwriter, to be honest. The scene didn't make the cut in the end, but just the courage they had in them to write that down and present it as an idea? Iconic. Groundbreaking behavior. An inspiration for all of us. They saw Moonjo and connected these two dots because they thought 'he's that shameless/besotted/spiteful/ridiculous', and they have never been more right!

About the “Jongwoo waiting for Moonjo at the hospital” headcanon, I can see it working along with the line “Letting you go is not as easy as it sounds.” Undoubtedly there will be someone probably Jieun to tell Jongwoo he should “let go” of Moonjo's memory (no one else knows he's alive, after all), that he is just sick, and should get professional help in order to purge himself of Moonjo's influence.

But that's no longer what Jongwoo wants, is it? After all that happened between them, letting go became as impossible for Jongwoo as it already was for Moonjo. They don't wish to get away from each other; if anything, they wish to become so intertwined that no one would ever be able to disentangle them.

Afinal de contas, vale a pena reformar o imóvel antes de colocá-lo à venda?

Realidade brasileira

Já existem testes com casas construídas através de impressora 3D, mas a tecnologia ainda não chegou a uma escala comercial. No Brasil, no entanto, essa ainda é uma realidade distante.

Novo ‘Minha Casa, Minha Vida’ deve oferecer pagamento de aluguel ao invés de financiamento de imóveis

Experiências no mundo

Tips for Tracking Macros When Traveling

Hi, guys!

With all of the travel that I’ve done lately (and a couple of trips on the horizon), I wanted to share some of my go-to tips and tricks for tracking macros. Obviously, when you’re on-the-go, your food choices are often a crap-shoot, but you don’t want to make yourself crazy either, so here’s how I balance my day!

Pre-plan your day and log it before you eat it

The night before, plan out your next day in MyFitnessPal. You probably won’t know exactly what you will eat, but plan it out as much as possible. Even a framework for your day is helpful. That way, you can make adjustments as needed. For example, when I went to San Diego a couple of weeks ago, I took a late-afternoon flight, so I logged my breakfast, lunch, and snack for the day and then made an educated guess about what I’d probably purchase at the airport. I planned a salad with chicken, a bag of Peanut M&Ms, and a banana. When I arrived at the airport though, there weren’t too many options for dinner. I ended up with a Chicken Cesar Wrap and Peanut M&Ms (priorities). I didn’t end up with a banana, but I ate some Terra Chips on the plane. I had the majority of my food planned, so these changes didn’t throw off my whole day.

Work backwards

This tip is similar to the one above, and it’s actually my favorite tip for dining out too. (I guess it’s just a different way of thinking and pre-planning your day.) If you have a trip/vacation/special meal/event/splurge coming up, plan it into your day FIRST. A lot of the time, my splurges are at dinner (i.e. dining out, wine, dessert), so I know if I want a glass of wine or sweet potato fries, I plan them into my day first and then work backwards through lunch, snacks, and breakfast. Typically, I use up quite a lot of carbs and fat from my day, so I make sure that the rest of my meals and snacks are protein-packed and balanced.

Front-load your day with protein

Getting enough protein into my diet is typically a struggle for me, so I make an effort to front-load my day with it. (I do this when I’m not traveling too.) I’ll typically try to find an egg sandwich, Greek yogurt, salads with grilled chicken, or hard-boiled eggs when I travel. I also like oatmeal and will typically add protein powder/collagen/packet of nut butter to pump it up, which brings me to…

Pack your protein

Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, or automobile, it’s likely that your protein options are going to be pretty limited, so I often pack my own. Some favorites:

SFH protein powder

RX BARS

thinkTHIN Bars <— Brownie Crunch is the best!!

Collagen

PB2

Krave Jerky

If you don’t pack healthy snacks…

Seek out a grocery store

Even if you’re eating the majority of your meals at restaurants or on-the-go, it’s still helpful to have healthy snacks on-hand to keep you on track. When you arrive at your destination, just Google nearby grocery stores so you can buy healthy snacks, like fresh fruit and veggies, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus, deli meat, cheese, olives, etc. Depending on where you stay (i.e. hotel), you can potentially request a refrigerator in your room, too!

Use the UPC scanning feature in MyFitnessPal

The UPC scanner in MyFitnessPal makes logging food quick and simple, especially when you’re (likely) purchasing packaged food when you’re on-the-go. If you’ve never used it before, just open the food dairy, add a meal/snack, and then click the scanner icon in the righthand corner. Then, just scan the UPC code. Boom! So easy and so accurate!

But…

It’s totally okay to “guesstimate”

If you can’t find the exact macros for something, it’s okay to guesstimate. I mean, it’s better than not tracking at all! Even a rough estimate will help you balance your day.

Don’t freak out

Seriously. If you’re on vacation or even traveling for work, it’s probably going to be difficult to stick to your usual diet 100% and that’s okay. Just do your best to enjoy what’s available to you!

Pay attention to calories

If you can’t hit your macros or, hell, even come close, just pay attention to your overall calories for the day. Do the best you can, don’t freak out (#8), and try again the next day!

Question of the Day

Your turn! Any tips/tricks to share for not going off the rails when you travel?
