Fun fact: this was one of two "soundtrack" choices for another Transformers work: More Than Meets The Eye issue 8: Scavengers Part 2 - Who's Afraid of the DJD?

I don't know about the DJD, but I think everyone is afraid of the 2-eyed 2 antennaed flying purple-eyed people smasher

He feels like a hi-and-die to me.
I know that sounds really snarky but I just got that vibe. I don't know why.
I got that same vibe too. He doesn't have a very "marketable" face, like it hasn't had the same amount of effort put in to most of the main characters.
Since he sort of has Bee's color scheme...maybe Hubcap? Though the color and design does kind of say construction vehicle.
And hi-and-die-ness is the natural vibe from any new guy whose establishing shot shows them face down like they've been injured.

Just thought of something... He kind of looks like an off-colored, shaved, naked sort of Hound.
also, did anyone else catch that we got to see Sqweeks?

Notice none of the other Autobots feature other than the rear of a car. just Prime and Bee. (not counting the orange headed robot of no consequence sitting under a Decepticon ship's engine).
Bay really painted himself into a corner by killing nearly everyone of consequence off in previous movies.
Shame the Dinobots barely feature and if they are in it at all it might just be The spinosaurus' minion raptors that were supposed to follow him around like baby ducks that were cut from the last Movie and that were use to make the Hasbro Slash toy. - Hopefully if they do feature they can reissue that toy in one of the missing colours it was not made in to help complete some sets.
If they were crafty they could show a few other different Dinobots in a throw away scene (perhaps in the past) including Snarl & Slog.
---
I agree that the large threat might be Cybertron - all be it a possessed one. I suppose Bay could be following some of the threads of Transformers Prime and either have Primus or Unicron trapped in the earth and or Cybertron - I don't expect he'll every explain what the allspark is or how it relates to things as the just randomly throw names and concepts around without really understanding them.
I look forward to watching some clips on youtube anyway after the movie comes out so I don't have to suffer the terrible human parts.

The cover used in the trailer is by Ursine Vulpine, and slows it down considerably, while adding elements of previous tracks used for the Michael Bay projects - as worked on by Steve Aoki and Steve Jablonsky, with bands Imagine Dragons and Linkin Park. We know that the latter composer is part of the movie once more, and none of the others are (for now), so he may have had his hands somewhere around the cover.
What is particularly interesting is the Transformers-related connection of the original song: IDW writer of More Than Meets the Eye James Roberts chooses a couple of songs for each new issue in the series, as a "reading soundtrack"; the original 'Do You Realise?' was chosen for More Than Meets The Eye issue 8: 'Scavengers Part 2 - Who's Afraid of the DJD?'.
This isn't news, of course, but an interesting way to revisit the old and the new, and throw another rumour log on the fire of the speculation engines. What do you make of it? Intrigued by the song, the connection, the cover, the lyrics? Join us in the Energon Pub for the discussion!

...huh. I'll actually be here to give and see first reactions to this. Either way, I hope it ends up good.

That planet in pieces does look like Cybertron's remains. I would like to see Unicron, but only if it's done right.
If that is indeed Megatron in the desert, he looks bad ass. Maybe we will finally get a character worthy of the name.
I'm glad Anthony Hopkins plays an actual person and not just voices a TF, even though that would be cool as well.
To me the biggest thing in the trailer was Hopkins saying "100 billion trillion planets in the universe. Why do you think they keep coming here?" In the 1st film it was to chase the Allspark, in DoTM it was to revitalize Cybertron. What will it be this time?

I am pretty sure there will be more trailers in the future. You know how the final Transformers movie trailers are, we just have to be patient.
By the way, it is a nice trailer. I just only wonder what that Unicron-like ball of metal doing over the moon.
Posted by ScottyP on December 6th, 2016 @ 6:22am CST
That and they're probably still making a bunch of the CG of the Transformers themselves. Even the shots in this trailer using them probably weren't "final".OptimalOptimus2 wrote:destrakon wrote:it wouldve been cool if they showed a little more action

And I think Noideaforaname's idea that the planet is Gobotron is the best of all possible outcomes for the planet thingie.

We should still get a Super Bowl spot in a couple of months, as well as 1 more trailer after that, probably in March in front of Logan or in April or May in front of Fast 8.

Might be Roberts 'turning the screws' again, but it seems like it's either a total coincidence, or someone made Steve Jablonski aware of the MTMTE soundtrack playlist.
I got tingles as soon as I heard the song kick in. It's a really neat nod to more niche sections of the fandom.

Love the trailer!
Absolutely love it, you have Metal Gear Solid like mechs (more realistic what humans would create). The premise that it's humans against Transformers. Maybe we'll get some Autobot-Decepticon cooperation.
Hope that new robot (who looks kinda cute) will be interesting.
Sir Anthony Hopkins, looks and sounds like a great adition to this film.
Prime evil, awesome! Cybertron close to earth again, awesome.
Some dragon/dinosaur robot, awesome.
Sorry guys, all I see is awesomeness.
And Steve Jablonsky will be back for the soundtrack I've read. Going to watch this trailer again when I get home from work on my big screen. So much wow. Going to see it 3 times in cinema's atleast.
Do you guys think there will be a game adaptation?
Rise of the Dark Spark was kind of a weak attempt, non transforming generic low AI enemies and very few new Transformer models (it was practically Fall of Cybertron stripped down).
And if they do keep the High Moon engine, I hope they restore Escalation to what it was in War for Cybertron.
Overall thoughts, really happy to see this. Good hopes for the movie.
(continuing)
What the Transformers movies never fail at is design and action scenes.
That was my main dissapointment of X-Men Apocalypse, my favorite Marvel Villain ever only fought 1 scene. 1 scene only! And his size increase was a dream/head sequence. He was suppose to do that in the final fight and have a mid-movie fight to show of that he's stronger than the X-Men.
(end of continuation and bad grammar)

Aparently, that Decepticon can be seen in this sht instead:
And that face is not menacing enough to be a decepticon.
Also, to answer a question asked before, the guy in the desert meeting Megatron is Lennox.

In DOTM, Cybertron was a lot bigger than Earth, that thing is just a little bit bigger than the Moon...
P.S. This trailer looks AWESOME!

If that one scene in the trailer of the spike rising out of the desert is any indication, they may be going the Transformers Prime route and revealing that the Earth is really Unicron.
I guess that would go some way towards explaining humanity's antagonism towards Cybertronians. It's getting to be a tired trope in this franchise.
Posted by MrBlack on December 6th, 2016 @ 9:12am CST
I can't see Michael Bay having Optimus hand over leadership to a Hot Rod with a French accent.
Posted by o.supreme on December 6th, 2016 @ 9:26am CST
I did think it seemed kind of silly that TF's could travel long distances (presumably without limit) in space, in previous films. But Prime, got frozen in space around Jupiter? (ok probably not Jupiter, but you know what I mean). It's like if we were to start out on a road trip from San Francisco to NYC, on one tank of gas, and think...yeah I'm good. . Hopefully there will be an explanation.
Also my son (he's 10) of course was all panicked "Why is Optimus attacking Bumblebee!!!" After the trailer ended I calmly told him to think about all the times in various shows Optimus has either been replicated (various Nemesis Primes), or controlled by others. Trust me when I say it will all sort itself out.
And yes that planet appears to be a broken Cybertron (call back from DotM), though the horn in the desert...that has me asking questions.
Still though, I believe the law of diminishing returns is effecting my relationship with this franchise. The first film I saw 4 times in the theater, the second one- twice, the 3rd and 4th ones I took the day off work to watch an early matinee and only saw once in theater. I have the first 3 films on DVD, and the 4th on Blu-Ray all bought at discount prices. It's sad because each film bay seems to keep up the ante with budget, effects, and run time, but the "ooh- ahhh" factor is less each time. Each of the first 4 films there was at least one particular character I looked forward to seeing onscreen, in this thus far there aren't any. Hopefully the next trailer that comes out in a few months will offer something to be marginally excited about.

You and me buddy! And i dont know if that Dragon will be a toy or not, but I hope it is. And hey, why not hope for both: that the Dragon gets a toy and that it is megatron
Also I thought the horn in the desert was a close up on the matrix which looks really similar.

I know relative size is difficult without other objects in frame, but this horn appears to be rather huge. Also last we saw, Prime still had the matrix within himself after he offered it to Sentinel in DotM, and he refused it. Odd it wasn't referenced in AoE at all.

Wait a sec...
Is that the same moster found on this poster then? And does that mean that the dragon is during modern times and not king arthur times?

In all fairness, Akiva Goldsman is only responsible for the story and not the screenplay this time around. The folks who worked on the screenplay have some actual talent.
Not that I expect this to be an actual GOOD film, but maybe it will be better than Age of Extinction (which I couldn't finish).

yer man that wrote "black hawk down"s screen adaptation is there too.
