When the Transformers website hit zero and made the trailer available, nobody told me.

-But then again, it's not like it's a whole lot of information.

That actually seems like it may be a decent movie.

It's just a little teaser trailer. I am sure there is more than meets the eye.

I wasn't. I was at work. I would've killed to be there, though.

bad news is... it's directed by micheal bay. rumors were a while ago that speilberg was going to direct, which would have been a HELL of a better plan than bay.

there's probably going to be way too many human characters. who else is willing to bet the movie will really be about two of them falling in love while the autobots and decepticons just happen to be fighting to the death in the background?

That sort of thing is the writers' domain, not the director.

Maybe it'll be about autobots and deceptacons falling in love. Would that make you happy?

I hadn't heard about Eon8 until after the timer hit zero. XD And even then I wasn't interested.

Silly robots in disguise, stomping on Mars rovers is not common courtesy.

That's not the bloody Beagle, for ****'s sake. Dammit, can't they even get their Mars rovers right.

I'm guessing they didn't have footage of the Mars rover that crashed and didn't want to pay for the CG just for a teaser.

Ah Cazor, I remember Speilberg's other robot movie A.I. Man I don't want Tranformers anything like that :(

completely different plots, though. and would you rather have it turn out like pearl harbor?

and a director has quite a lot of artistic freedom over a script, avenger. you'd be suprised what things a director can leave out or add in without anyone really questioning him/her. the only person who can really stop him from doing that, or request that certain things are added to the movie are producers(because, well.. they have all the damn production money). so really, it's in the hands of speilberg to not let bay mess this movie up.

I just hope it doesn't do what Transformers: Armada did and add focus to a couple of little bratty kids instead of the transformers themselves. It's one of the reason Armada did poorly.

Just curious but does anyone know if this movie is based on the G1 transformers? I would be pretty PO'ed if they used the Armada/Energon/Cybertron universe. Nothing beats the old-school G1 transformers :)

All that I know is that Bumblebee won't be a Volkswagen Beatle because Volkswagen didn't give the license to them. They say that "the movie promotes war."

Hopefully, the movie won't take itself too seriously.

Pearl Harbor's love story was based largely on Disney's input - if I recall right, that was never Bay's original intent.

Bay's good for action, explosions, chases, and special effects. To me, Bay is the perfect fit for Transformers.

On other forums like IGN, people are complaining about the old old leaked script, potential problems with item placements, etc.

It's freaking Transformers! Some people are already expecting a serious movie here, when that's what it should not be. The movie will get hammered for being a popcorn flick - I have no doubt about that. However, I'll love it.

Remember guys, this is the guy that did Armaggedon. The love story worked in that movie IMO to make it more epic and tragic. This calls for one thing - pure action!

I think it has the potential to be great

I made up a rumor that I just told to myself about the beginning of the Transformers movie being some sort of twisted metallic porn flick.

But apparently the creative process for making transformers is much to complicated to be arousing to the slightest degree. It will basically be Optimus sitting over blue-prints and chatting with Megatron on what they’ll name their robo love child. Eventually the debate for naming it Optitron or Meganox becomes a fiery argument between the two superior robots. Megatron becomes upset and breaks Optimus’ legs leaving him stranded to the uses of a wheelchair while Megatron decides that he is tired of human oppression and wants to battle for robot rights, to the death if at all possible.

In his weakened condition Optimus gathers together the goodsparked Autobots who want to live in a would where Humans and Machines can co-exist peacefully. But trouble arises when Optimus’ secret love child emerges during a fray with Megatron. Much to the dismay and extreme mechanical rage of Optimus it turns out that the robo love child has been named Megaprimaltronobot. In a daring battle with his son and counterpart Optimus calls upon the long and forgotten power of the River which is a mystical energy force that binds the universe together between the spirits of man and machine. In his attempt to fend off Megatron and his stupidly named son, Optimus forgets the meaning of Christmas and is defeated. As he lays in a pile of rubble unable to move, his fellow autobots strewn across the battle filed, he sees something in the distance. What hope could it possibly be? To his amazement he sees the sequel speeding right for him!

Kind of ironic when you consider the fact that the VW Beetle was develop for use by the NAZI ELITE. Hell, it's older brother is the Kübelwagen, designed for combat.

Volkswagon felt guilty after the war, they just don't want to do with anything that promotes warfare. And lo, what do Autobots and Decepticons do?

I grew up with Transformers. I for one cannot wait.

I'm guessing Megatron will probably be a tank or cannon like he is in the Armada series. I always thought the idea of him being a gun was kinda lame anyway because of his dependence on another transformer to use his firepower.

Yeah, I never understood/liked the whole "I'm actually a gun" thing.
