This is the best thing I've seen thus far about the movie, however (and there's always a however), I'm still not sold on the film yet. So many of the designs are failures. There's no way around this. And you can't change my opinion! You can put as much lipstick on a pig that you want and it's still a pig. The majority of robot designs are pigs--Starscream in particular. What I fear is that we've now seen the best we're going to get, and the balance of the movie is going to meet Bay standards--scheiße! I'm still left wonderin' why we don't hear the Transformers speak. Sell us on these characters. Make them "human"--for lack of another word. Yeah, we've heard Cullen, but why haven't we heard other actor's voices yet, especially in one of the trailers. I'm not buying that this movie is going to be about the Transformers--it's likely going to be more about the humans and the robots are ancillary to what happens to them. I don't care what happens to the humans. I want to see a film about Transformers. I don't need to see a film with human characters to believe a race of sentient robots exists in the universe and they're at war. Treat us to this scenario. Incidentally, the included transformation sound from the G1 cartoon is classic and I hope we'll here it in the film.
