Oh how I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. Evening. I meant evening. ¬_¬'

Who wants to be the first to make up excuses and come up with sci-fi explanations! Come on, bring on those nanobots and self chaning metal parts that don't need any forging, welding or anything silly like that! (Please apply it to vocalisers too!)

Me thinks the first of many plotholes is in. Btw, who needs Wheeljack or Ratchet if everyone can reconstruct themselves in under a second? Oh... Everything but useful stuff.

I wonder how many missiles like that Ironhide packs.

I'll be the first. They're called TRANSFORMERS, not MASS SHIFTERS. Therefore, they're really good at TRANSFORMING and not so good at MASS SHIFTING. :grin:

Tell me, how can no-one hear these things transform? The boombox-former under the chair makes so much noise the guy should be jumping up to have a look at what the heck is going on, but I forgot, people in movies are generally deaf.
I must admit I like the sound effect for transforming.

The film looks very Bay-ish, the Diving Ironhide shot is about as tacky and "Supa Aktion-Goodness" as Bay can make. (spelling mistakes meant)

For the few Aussies on this board, I finally recognize who Shia Le Bouf looks like: Benji Marshall.

Airplanes are loud inside and pressurized, which constricts hearing. It's why noise cancelling head phones are such big sellers with travelers.

Nice Trailer, At least we get to see some new stuff. Not as exciting as the First full Trailer.

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 7:51 pm

I keep hearing more & more of the G1 transforming sound. And I gotta tell ya, I love it more each time. Can't wait any longer.

by **tile_mcgillus** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 8:22 pm

That stuff looked awesome. Absolutely nothing like transformers...but awesome. As a huge fan of robots in general I got excited about this for the first time. Huge robots doing barrel rolls and flips...oh yeah. I still am going to refuse to call the robots "transformers" but the action looks killer.

Looks like I might be buying a ticket after all on July 4th to see "big f*cking robots"...

Excuse my whilst I change my pants. THAT WAS FRIKKIN' INSANE! The transformingness of Prime, the sneakiness of Frenzy, the frozeness of Megatron, the Matrixness of Ironhide, it's just too much! Now I REALLY love the fact that Aussie gets it before you Yanks!

!!!!!!!!!!!! holy crap !!!!!!!!!!! iam speechless. this movie is gonna pwnz!!!!

Both spots are awesome. Kids are going to flip for this. Like it or not, this is going to haul in some major cash.

Ironhide doing a friggin' barrel roll and Barricade chasing down Spike... just plain awesome.

Nice job Roberto.

Hey Bob!

Nice to see you on this end of the boards for a change, rather then just the DM Boards.

Why is Bumblebee sitting at a used car lot? Isn't he on a mission?

I think he is on a mission to track down Sam at that point.

For the record, that IS definitely Victor Caroli doing the voice-over at the end. I was excited enough that they had him to the voice-over for the 20th Anniversary DVD, but having him do the actual live action movie as well is pure gold! That plus the little VW bug that movie Bumblebee parks beside in the trailer tells me that we're going to see a LOT of subtle nods to the original G1 series.
