You just beat me too it! Didn't see to much more other than BB turning into some sort of mech/weapon simular to the video game trailer! Also saw a quick shot of the red nascar wrecker!

And Starscream!

Did any one else notice bee's roof turning into his mechtech weapon?

by **Red 50** » Sun Feb 20, 2011 1:43 pm

Could someone put it up here, too?

I mentioned that in my above post. He transformed simular to how he did in the DOTM video game trailer.

Looks like Leadfoot is based on Truex's car (I think it's Truex anyway).

For those of you that were unaware today was this year's Daytona 500, which featured a heavy Transformers: Dark of the Moon presence. Several of the stars and director, Michael Bay, were on hand to serve as Grand Marshals, the Wreckers made their first official appearance as pace cars, and new a TV spot aired!

While I still don't know if I like the look of the MechTech weapons...the fact that they are included in the movie makes them a lot less of a WTF idea...

mech tech lives! i believe they pulled it off in the movie without making look too cheesy and lame :APPLAUSE:

Awesome! Glad we got to see Starscream, and Bumblebee's mechtech, which actually looks kind of cool. I was hoping to see what Megatron looked like though...

You get a brief glimpse of him in vehicle-attack mode in the new teaser trailer. Haven't seen any robot mode pictures yet.

We got to keep in mind that Megatron's new ID is probably supposed to be a secret.

I have a feeling the Wreckers are going to be very popular. The only pic of Leadfoot (aka the red one) in bot mode are from Toy Fair as a Cyberverse figure. I'm not sure if we got a pic of him, I know one is available on TFCC's members only page. It looks like he has a beard!

edit: apparently we did get a pic

Fantastic! Who was speaking at the beginning? Simmons? John Malkovich?

Loved the quick teases of the Wreckers! (Only natural to include them for the 500!)

"Wreck and rule!"

Most of this tv spot is left over clips form the Super Bowl trailer with some new bits, bumblebee in stealth mode and leadfoot driving around; but what MADE this trailer was Simmons voice over in the background. That single line gave me goosebumps and got me looking forward to the movie 5 times more than the Super Bowl trailer (which got me heavily excited anyways)

Not to mention his Speed Stars Stealth Force weapon mode. Gives those toys a little more legitimacy, though they really need to make them transformable into robots for me to care.

I love The Wreckers, but really, how could you not love NASCAR cars decked out in tons of guns and armour? Bumblebee's Mechtech mode isn't as bad as I expected from what I've saw of the toys, surprisingly. Truthfully though, Rosie seems to get less attractive every time I see her, which isn't making me too happy. I'd rather have bots then humans, but I'd prefer a female lead I found attractive.
