Holy crap! That was mind blowing. And I'm not just talking about Megan Fox's little strip thing. Devastator looks menacing and... poor Optimus.... getting tripple teamed on by Blackout (or his twin brother, since he died in the first one), Megatron and Starscream. Can't wait.

Always been a fan of the series. Love the movies too. I just wish the G1-ers would get over the fact that this isn't G1. Rewatch all the episodes. You'll feel empty and realize the cartoon was extremely poor, low budget toy commercials. They couldn't even keep animation/shots consistent from frame to frame. This re-imagining is wonderful. Like what SciFi did with Battlestar Galactica. The original was very boring... seen em. New ones are award winning.
Enough rambling.

Sweet!

HOLY **** BLOODY HELL THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME

(Megan Fox changed a bit too fast for my liking

)

Bwahahahaha. I can't wait to watch the movie, then pick up all the figures that come along with the movie line up.

but sadly bumblebee looks like a baby in this clip

Sat Apr 18, 2009 3:24 am

A crying Bumblebe...WTF!? Uber gay and why can't he still talk? Double uber gay. And whats with Johnny 5 and the two retarded inbred Transformer twin? G1's lame you say well who's lame now.

That is pretty sweet!

Did Jetfire say:

"Arse"

?
:lol:

Sweeet jesus Blackout and Megs are back! Guess his spark wasn't destroyed in the last one.

I am gonna watch this clip again, Megan Fox, what a gorgeous babe.

News Credits: 2 · Sat Apr 18, 2009 3:37 am

2:22 I see Megatron!

On a side note. Why couldn't they just get Hugh Laurie to voice Jetfire, or did they?

I think the bot taking out the flag on the bridge could be Wreckage/Bludgeon. The forearms have two wheels on them, the large shoulders and prominent chest. Check my image.

Why is Blackout fighting Prime???
That's bloody awesome! He deserves a better fight scene than just getting shot in the crotch!
Yea, Megatron's definatly only in a flashback :roll:

Why have people been complaining about ol'man Jetfire??? He was amazing in this clip!
I'm not going to comment on the first half of the clip, cause frankly I don't care. Megan Fox half stripping surprised me more than excited me, honestly don't care to see her half naked in a kids film about robots.
The constructicons & Devastator are going to be awesome. I really can't wait for this film, however it comes out just after my girlfriend moves back to America and I don't get to see her any more, so I'm kinda torn about this...

sounds like all you do is complain. maybe you should save yourself the hassle of watching the new movie cause i'd bet you'd find more to complain about. :mrgreen:

"He's playing it up".
Hilarious!
Say what you want about Shia, but the guy has got charisma.
Really enjoyed that footage.

Wow, an unexpected trailer showing more stuff, put forth by Michael Bay? Cool. Looks great except for the garage part... I thought it was a joke when I was watching that part

.

BTW, I find curious that nobody was complaining about not being G1 or whatever and someone decided to attack those who like G1 the best like I do. What a "smart" move... And why can't someone prefer G1 to the movie? I like the 2007 movie (I'm probably going to like the new one too), but I prefer G1 in 1st place, it means a lot more to me and I like best the G1 toys and even the cartoon and I've re-watched it about 4 times fully in the last 3 years, and love it. And after G1 I prefer Animated and then it's the movie in 3rd place. And I'm watching Beast Wars and loving it, so I guess Beast Wars will take the 3rd place sometime soon unless the new movie really blows me away. Anyway, I just don't get it why many people want to criticize the likes of the others and impose their own. Respect people, respect. It's good that we're not all the same, otherwise it would be really boring.

Mr.Bay, thanks for the new trailer! That was really unexpected, at least by me.

You'll feel empty and realize the cartoon was extremely poor, low budget toy commercials. They couldn't even keep animation/shots consistent from frame to frame.

I'm sure everyone can see that G1 had poor animation and inconsistencies without having to do a direct comparison with expensive modern CGI.

The low quality and camp were a part of what made G1 great, especially from a retrospective viewpoint.

Anyway, that was a pretty decent video. I can understand why they went overboard with the cutesy/vulnerable and speechless bumblebee again, to compensate for that freaky robot face!

That was just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...really? You literally thought posting this would be a good idea?

Gay (meaning 1): Happy.
Gay (meaning 2): Homosexual.

With me so far? Good. Now, let's go over your post again.

"A crying Bumblebe...WTF!? Uber gay and why can't he still talk? Double uber gay."

And now corrected: Über happy. Why can't he talk at this point, still? Double Über happy.

Makes absolutely no sense.

And once more, with feeling:

And now corrected: Über homosexual. Why can't he talk at this point, still? Double Über homosexual.

Seriously. That so ridiculously stupid sounding that it just hurts a person's brain.

And this piece: "And whats with Johnny 5 and the two retarded inbred Transformer twin? G1's lame you say well who's lame now."

Just solidifies that you're either impatient before posting, or we're feeding a potential troll here.

We get it, you're not a fan of the movieverse. Problem is, this thread is for people who WANT to give positive feedback, or at least negative feedback with constructive purposes. Your coming in here and tearing it down and posting this is nowhere near constructive.

You don't like it? Fine. Great. Move out of the way so people who do like it, can give their feedback about it without having to wade through the minefield of "GAY DUR HUR HUR RETARD ROBOTS SUCK CUZ THEY'RE RETARDS" posts.

Seriously, get over yourself. You're not the only one on this board.

Now, onto the footage itself.
HOT DIGGITY DAMN.

Bumblebee was incredible, I loved it. Devastator just absolutely wowed me. Optimus getting his brains beat out was insane. And The Doctor shoving something in Sam's mouth...a little weird...

All in all, this just made the wait for the film quite a bit more difficult than it already is.

News Credits: 15 · Sat Apr 18, 2009 5:27 am

Cool.

I'm starting to get that "I need to see this movie" twitch.

I can put up with daft/unfunny comedy if there are enough awesome moments. I hope Devastator and Ravage give us some of those moments. I'm fairly sure that M Bay wouldn't pass up the opportunity of having Devastator steal the show.

Can't wait!!!

Do not feed the trolls.

If you feel Arcadius-Prime's post (or anyone's for that matter) is out of line, use the "Report this post" button.

We now return you to your regulary scheduled hyperventilating/Michael-Bay-hating, depending on which is your cup of tea.

Sat Apr 18, 2009 5:51 am

3 awesome things:
Jetfire being old- i like it
Devastator- holy moly, he is a v complex model!
Blackout- Yay! He returns!

The whole thing rocked once the main clip ended. At least Bumblebee seems more characterised.
WANT!
