Lots of good stuff there.

I was disappointed to hear Bee make his Squeak, finally putting to rest any hope that he would actually talk in this movie.

Kinda annoying the the Imagine Dragons spot showed a lot of the cool stuff.

I'm intrigued by the part at the beginning with Galvatron on a table - the way he was there almost looks like they were dissecting him. Didn't look like he was being built or anything like that - So WAS he built by Humans or merely reprogrammed / controlled - which I would prefer in some respects as it means he has the potential to become Autonomous later in the film and actually BE Galvatron rather than a puppet.

This newest one is the one I worked on a lot. I auditioned for Optimus and Wahlberg. I'm honestly glad they got Peter Cullen. As cool as it would have been to have booked the ADR for him, I want to hear his voice for this character for as long as he's able.

Just because Bee makes that sound does not mean he wont talk maybe he wont but lets not come to conclusions

And it was confirmed Galvatron is human made.

I know you do voiceovers really well, so auditioning for Optimus makes sense, but auditioning for Wahlberg? Did you audition for the character of Cade?

To do his voice over in a trailer, not for the actual role of the actor playing the character. If I recall correctly, Jon has done Robert Downey Jr's voice in an Iron Man trailer as well in the past.

Good eye my friend! I saw it while I was making the frame-by-frame screen captures, but it didn't occur to me what I was actually looking at. That's pretty frikkin' cool.

Animated Lockdown will be pleased!

And so will ROTF Lockdown!

I doubt they will top the ROTF Lockdown mold, but I'll be interested to see what the new deluxe will look like.

Did anyone see in last scene while optimus is busy slashing everyone with his sword, Grimlock takes a decepticon by his tail, bites him with his mouth and throws away! :BOWDOWN:

by **krayziejones** » Thu May 15, 2014 6:02 am

So is this movie just going to have Galvatron (man made), Stinger (man made), Lockdown (not a Decepticon) and a bunch of drones? I really hope there are some actual true Decepticons in this movie.

Optimus riding Grimlock! :lol:

You're right! That's chomptastically hilarious!

The red one on the left..

..gets impaled with the tail, brought to the mouth..

..and SHWAM! flung away.

What a beautiful shot! I love this!

Grimlock and Optimus fighting side by side! WIN!

I wonder if they will give a nod to Animated, and have Lockdown take parts from Ratchet after he's (presumably) killed.

I hope we get an answer to Optimus's question "who sent you?" and that answer is "Rodimus Prime" or "Ultra Magnus."

by **Bleak5170** » Thu May 15, 2014 6:35 am

"Ratchet makes an appearance (should help alleviate some fan fears)"

Not really as we get to see him dying once again.

But I guess it's nice to know he's in more than just one scene. But losing Ratchet has just completely turned me off of this movie. What they did to Ironhide was bad enough but now this.....

So far, it really does look like there are no genuine Decepticons in this movie.

Why would either of those two send Lockdown to hunt down and capture Optimus?

Hard to tell for sure but based on the blade on its arm, it might be the silver one of the three still-unnamed Chevy Trax Transformers that work with Galvatron. Possibly more human-made mechs.

Guys there one actual eept in this movie his name is Junkheap he is that garbage truck guy from Dotm and he was seen with Galvatron Stinger and two other sports cars (one orange one white) and he has a toy

I think you typo'd something on that first line.

It's hard to make out what you're trying to say before the "he is that garbage truck guy..." part onward. :oops:

"There's one actual Decepticon". I think.

Though we don't know if it is a Decepticon - that might just be the toy faction designation, rather than an in-movie one (as is currently the case for Lockdown, Galvatron and Stinger, and I doubt the Dinobots will have insignias in the film, either).

What do you make of all those things in space? Would they all be under Lockdown's control? Or maybe sent by whoever sent him? I'm not saying they're Decepticons or anything, I am just curious.

Also out of pure curiosity, in the shot of the trailer where Lockdown attacks Optimus and kicks him in the face, it looks like they're both the same size. How can a Lamborghini be the same size as a full-sized semi tractor? As far as I know, the movieverse has respected the mass-shifting of the Transformers so far, they didn't change size between modes.

'Cause I'm sick and twisted. :twisted:

Also, I want to see Rodimus Prime in some way in the movieverse, and I was thinking of the DW Vol. 2 series with Magnus and Shockwave having a truce on Cybertron and Magnus coming to Earth to arrest the Earth-bound Autobots. This is purely to satisfy my wishes, I didn't base it on any kind of factual observation of any details of the new movie. Just wishful thinking.
