This is going to be my alternate fan edit for this film. This will be virtually identical to my other edit, "Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen - The Kitten Calendar Edition," with one difference. Due to the large number of people who have a completely different view on certain characters (The Twins) I'm taking to the time make this second version. This version will remove bits and pieces of the Twins where possible, which in some cases will actually cause a little more footage to be removed as well. I estimate this will end up 3-4 minutes shorter than the Kitten Calendar Edition.
I do not plan to do as much work on the menus for this version, so be prepared for something fairly basic in that area. I'm only doing this edit because of the mixed popularity of these characters. The Kitten Calendar Edition is my preferred version, but I wanted to allow those in the fanedit community to have some options.
You can follow the thread for the Kitten Calendar Edition to see how things have been progressing, and what I've been working on, as things are pretty much identical, except there will be cuts made to the twins.

I've basically finished the editing phase for The Kitten Calendar Edition, and don't anticipate the extra editing to take very long at all for this version. I may end up releasing both together as a package, but I haven't decided yet how I'm going to handle all of that. I'm still need cover art, now probably for 2 editions, and any other art to use for menus as well.

Fanedit details (please add here details about DVD contents as well as video and audio information): NTSC SL DVD, original aspect ratio, ac-3 5.1 audio.
Your intention for this fanedit: The intention of this edit is to somewhat appease those who do not appreciate the comic genius that is The Twins. I don't get it, and never will, but I realize there is a significant audience out there that despises them. So, for the most part this is an identical fanedit to the Kitten Calendar Edition, with significant cuts made to those characters. My intention outside of The Twins was to trim down the excess fat to speed up the pacing and hopefully increase the sense of urgency, and help the film not drag so much. I also wanted to remove the aspects that limited the scope to such a seemingly small period of time (relative to the Transformers lifespan). There were other various poor jokes, continuity errors, geographical mistakes that I tried to correct as much as possible.
Your way to achieve your intention: Basically looked closely and tried to cut anything I could of the Twins that wasn't essential to the story. Some small lines aren't essential, but I wasn't able to remove them. For the most part just find what didn't work and wasn't necessary or was repetetive and remove it. Sometimes this required rearrangement of audio or video, and some fixes required cropping of scenes as well.
Hardware and software information (what did you use to create your fanedit): Axus quad-core processor with blu-ray drive. Original retail blu-ray (Big Screen Edition, i.e. IMAX version) was used as a source. DVDFab was used for capture. NeroVision was used to make a new file of the movie with less timestamp errors. Nerovision was primarily used for the first half of editing. Sony Vegas Pro 9 was used later to finish and fix problems with Nero's output. NeroVision was used for menus.
Additional Comment: This IS the edit for those who hated the Twins, this is NOT for those who liked the Twins. If you liked The Twins (really, how can you not??) then The Kitten Calendar Edition is for you. This edit is 3.5 minutes shorter than the Kitten Calendar Edition.
Time needed for the edition: About a month (plus a couple hours).
