ComingSoon.net has posted an exclusive behind-the-scenes video showing the Accelerator Suit chase that has gotten so much attention in various trailers, clips, and TV spots. It’s a pretty funny and enlightening video clip with the director and actors that everyone should check out! Click here to visit the site, and also peek at the embedded video below. Big thanks to Stratos’ Twitter Page for the update!
SDCC has pretty much wrapped for 2009, but there are still some cool stragglers, image-wise. Nomad over at JoeBattleLines has been in the trenches all weekend getting us some fantastic shots, which JBL has posted as a full gallery here. Some of the more interesting images, though, I’m mirroring below.

Over at The Terror Drome, someone also snagged a loose pic of Bench-Press as well, which I’ve hosted below.
Big thanks to Mysterious Stranger who reports directly from San Diego ComicCon that he spoke with Hasbro reps on the convention floor, and they confirmed that Bench-Press is NOT Brendan Frasier’s “cameo” role in the film. He also reports some other interesting information:
“Also, the figure was supposed to be the movie line Rock ‘n’ Roll but they had to change the name due to copyright issues. Since they are now going into international territories with these figures the names have to clear internationally. So Rock ‘n’ Roll wasn’t available somewhere and had to be changed. Rather than just slap a new name on the figure they changed the character completely with a new bio, specialty and codename. Unfortunately the Craig McConnel file name is an error on the card that got missed when it was produced.”
Thanks again to Mysterious Stranger for setting the facts straight.
The TV spots are flowing like water these days in countries all over the world. This one comes from Taiwan, and shows a nice amount of new footage of the Night Raven and some other coolness as well. Thanks to The Terror Drome’s “Terror Transmissions” for the YouTube encode! The video was initially discovered on Yahoo here.
