U.S. Air Force Military Jargon in the film Transformers (2007) (warren798 on IGN) (archive)

Posted by warren798

Does anybody like Transformers movies? Well, i bet you want to know what the military talk they use in movies 1, 2 and 3 are. Well I've not seen the 3rd movie yet, but if you contribute the words in the comments box below this post, i'll give you the correct words for them. My dad is ex-military, so i'm well adjusted to the use of this language. Here's a couple from the first movie:

KILLBOX 1 ALPHA = 1a on the operations grid map, for where ever the battle is taking place inside the operations area. Killbox is where the target is located. It's also referered to as the killing area, the place of no escape.

CLEAR AND HOT = clear and hot basically means that there is nothing in your way and you can bring in the real firepower. bring the big guns!

BRING THE RAIN = all weapons, ammunition, all to rain on the target area specified by a clearance code, usually a primary colour: blue, orange, green, red, yellow - these are primary colours

SEND THE HAWKS OVER TO KILLBOX 1 ALPHA = hawks, the real firepower in the sky, these are dangerous aircrafts.

more coming soon.
