Breaking News: Optimus Prime will NOT have lips in the movie (direct from Bay himself)
Turns out that it wasn't even Cullen in the youtube test clip. Here's the scoop, per Michael Bay. When asked about the lips and voice:
The unreleased ad (Prime speaks) that was posted on youtube was a test that European were making with the ads. The clip where OP was "speaking," lets just say that it wasn't OP or Cullen speaking. It was something the European studios added on their own. In fact, it was a test shot."

the prime shots definitely looked out of place (looked like crap), so im not surprized that someone else added them in/unfinished/whatever
But it is known that there are polished up scenes of prime talking with lips. etc.
the blogger makes a big jump in logic by assuming that since those particular scenes in the prime speaks trailer will not be in the film, that prime's lips wont either
im still waiting for confirmation

Exactly. Where does it say that he will not have lips?
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Sounds like it's still the mouth plate/lips combo to me.
I'm cool with that if the lips are done well (not like that clip though).

Once again, nowhere do I see anything that says no lips, also I dont where this "lips growing out of a chin" stuff comes from, when I watched that cut it did not seem off or out of place to me.

Someone should change the title of this thread, it gives false hope to all the Prime-lip-haters like myself.

I'm sorry, how does providing a link to a different website constitue an inability to read?
Go back to the sandbox and grow up, your comment was uncalled for.

Maybe he was referring to whoever posted the 'news story' you linked?

Maybe. Quoting me tends to say otherwise though.
Still, seems pretty petty. Maybe if i'd created an entirely new thread ...

After clicking the link I did not think the comment was intended at Burn either.

Whoops. Sorry for snapping at you then. (I thought it seemed out of character for you, but then a day of tv watching and kitbashing tends to mess your head up anyway)
