Decepticon Audition: Chad the Controller

In this promotional clip for Paramount Pictures and Michael Bay's upcoming action flick Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, an adorable but immature video game controller named Chad auditions for the part of one of the film's villainous robots. Considering that the Decepticons that actually made it into the movie include a toaster and a microscope, I'm surprised Chad didn't make the cut!

Video game journalist and Littleloud producer (and not to mention GameSetWatch contributor) Simon Parkin wrote the script for the short, while Littleloud's Jim Howells, who was the graphic designer behind iPhone game Carpl and the Watchmen arcade title, animated it. According to Parkin, there are two more promotional videos on the way.
