As you may have heard (or pretty much expected) Transformers: Dark of the Moon has been rated. And it’s PG-13.
MPAA is describing the rating as follows…
“Intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction, and for language, some sexuality and innuendo.”Trailbreaker of S4TE who kindly provided me with an insight of this rating states that this rating is very similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides rating.
“Intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction” refers to the Robot Duels, Baysplosions, Decimated Chicago and the Human Death that takes place throughout the movie.
"
Language" may refer to the use of swear words in the movie.
"Some sexuality and innuendo" may or may not refer to any jokes relating to the subject matter. This portion of the rating may direct towards the scenes with Model/Actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley where… hem hem… AICN
describes as
“who doesn't need an occasion to dress in the tightest clothes imaginable”. As for “
innuendo”… well, Michael Bay once stated, are toned-down jokes rather than what we saw on Revenge of the Fallen.

Everybody’s counting down the days leading to Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The most spectacular thing about the movie series is the visual effects, namely the CGI Cybertronians.
Industrial Light and Magic of George Lucas and Michael Bay’s own Digital Domain help create the visual spectacles with their talented artists.
ILM recently uploaded two behind-the-scenes videos (nope, not Transformers 3… from the first movie) to let us know of the hard work they are doing.
If this writer may quote a portion from the article posted at
Collider…
“...The scene in question involves Megatron and Optimus Prime flying through a building mid-battle. To achieve the effect, ILM constructed a 1/4 size model of the building that took up an entire sound stage. As a result, the falling debris has a far more realistic and tactile quality than would ever be possible with digital effects. It’s nice to know that ILM still has a commitment to producing old timey model effects. While CGI might offer more fluidity and control than was ever possible with practical effects, there’s just something more believable about a physical effect. It’s always easier to buy something that clearly once existed in the real world rather than simply on a computer...”Take a look at both videos by following the links below:

A small update for you now on the upcoming second assortment Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Basic
Tailpipe. We've got a new in package picture of the guy, coming to you via the
Transformers Collectors Club store. He's looking good, and this new image confirms that his Mini-con partner is going to be named Pinpointer. Pinpointer, for this wondering, is a callback to the Generation 1 Targetmaster partner to
Crosshairs. The new version eschews Pinpointer's original colors, though, in favor of the more traditional Targetmaster black deco. Maybe he might get a recolor in red and gray later?

A set of new officially licensed Transformers products for the 2010-2011-2012 Camaro has hit the automotive stores just in time for Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon. This time it a set of aluminum billet locking gas doors featuring the
Autobot Symbol or the
Transformers Logo While this is not super news on it's own, they are the first officially licensed Transformers items for the Camaro since the
2009 Transformers Package offered by GM. So Transformers branding on the Camaro is not done quite yet.
Will GM and Hasbro release a Bumblebee package for the
upcoming ZL1, which has similar body styling to
Transformers 3 Bumblebee already? Only time will tell!
