Woohoohoo! The wait gets harder and harder!
I wish they had shown the whole Ironhide transformation, but I s'pose it was meant to whet the appetite, not sate it.
Did you see Starscream? That was awesome!

The best thing about this TV Spot is that it has the words 4th of July in it and at the end the guy says July 3rd.

Taking down those F/A-22s while in robot mode...sweet.

Likely surprised them when he transformed out of his jet mode and turned on them.

Very Starscream.

Ditto...I feel you on that dude. It does look incredible. I guess instead of releasing one more official movie trailer before release, they are going to just do TV spots, which is probably a good idea. I only wonder how much have they given away at this point?

Posted by relentless on June 21st, 2007 @ 8:19am CDT

they say july 4th because its a significant holiday so its sort of a marker. like when a movie is released around oct 31 they say "THIS HALLOWEEN" or around dec 25 "THIS CHRISTMAS"

That was probably the best TV spot I've seen for the movie so far! Can't wait! :grin:

I thought that was either him or Megatron blasting those Raptors. Excellent; this Starscream is going to have a badder attitude that his G1 predeccessor.

There is just too much...it's freaking amazing...this really is going to be the ride of the summer...not a doubt in my mind. I have money down that says but the end of the long 4th of July weekend TF's will have made $200 million at the box office. I already bought tix for the July 2 8pm show, but crap, I'm gonna get tix for the midnite show too! FANTASTIC!

Meh.

Megatron is still crap.

Is it just me or does it seem like the bots weapons shoot bullets? If so, why?

Yes but we are supposed to be dealing with highly advanced sientient alien robots who have traversed space to come to our world, why would they need to use "primitive" human technology. I get the whole "realism" that they are supposed to be going for in the film, but damn, its a movie about alien robot, surley there is some room for imagination in there.

I guess it's the same reason they change into Earth modes. A disguise isn't much use with a pink neon lazer shooting out of it. I understand your point, but it doesn't bother me that much.

I heard somewhere that when the Transformers are in vehicle mode, they fire Earth-like weapons (bullets, missiles, etc.) but when they're in bot mode, they fire Cybertronian weapons, like Blackout's EMP "tsunami." Just a rumor, though.

but its not a tank, or a raptor
its a transformer that looks like a tank or a raptor
if it didnt have a gun with bullets/other projectile ammo before, then it is shooting out little bits of itself out that it transformed into bullets
hahaa

Is it too much to ask for transforming alien robots with giant lazers attached to their fricki'n heads?!

I have a feeling Brawn knows, but he's "Sleeping."

Yup, sleeping.
