I thought that the trailer was pretty good, but it could be the hype talking.

Optimus bitch slapped Grimlock so hard that river exploded randomly! Wait, what?

Flying boats?

Looks like Ratchet kicks the bucket...

Our hero accidentally buys a Transformer. Like in the '07 Movie.
The government is against Transformers. Like in RotF and DotM.
There seems to be a ginormous battle in a city. Like in the '07 Movie and DotM.
A bot's death is spoiled by the trailer. Like in DotM's trailers.
"The Rules have Changed" my butt. I'm betting gun-face won't last even 5 minutes, just like Bonecrusher ('07), Demolisher (RotF), and Shockwave (DotM).

Optimus Prime's Battle HNNNNGHH... What does that remind me of? English dubs of Dragon Ball Z?

The movie could be interesting, but until it's in theaters, I can't pass judgement. ROTF and DOTM looked tolerable enough in trailers, too. I don't mean to say I know this film will be awful, but neither can I say it's going to be good for having a flashy trailer.

Speaking of which, I think this might be the first live action Transformers film to actually have the word "Transformer" spoken onscreen.

Probably. You can be a little weird at times.

A little? Your flattery will get you nowhere with me, mister.

They had me up until Optimus so easily swatted Grimlock aside like a fly. I now see where this is going. It's gonna be another Optimus-kills-everyone-and-everything movie...

The CG was pretty crisp, though.

Simmons mentioned "Transformers" when he presented his research to Sam in his mother's deli in Revenge of the Fallen. And I recall someone saying "Transformer" in Dark of the Moon too.

Quite a difference in tone from the first trilogy, at least at first glance. I'm definitely jonesin' for a TF film fix and this looks like it'll do and then some. I'm very impressed by the direction they're taking it in, or at least how they're making it seem.

Hopefully, this film will make the naysayers and other film haters take another look and give it another chance.

This might be the TF film everyone was waiting for. (I said might. MIGHT.) That being said, it's sad when the first thought that comes to mind is "Aw crap, here we go." when Optimus slammed Grimlock to the ground like he was a brainless animal, because I knew the fans would get pissed and start complaining.

The fandom is sucking the enjoyment out of me.

May I ask as to what a "jonesin'" is?

Did you mean the water spraying up? or the sparks under Grim's head?

I agree that no matter what hype we get for the Decepticons, gun-face will get owned.
Grimlock having horns is a big no no.They couldn't choose Swoop? They had to use a technobot's name? Even if he had two guns.
Nice to see Optimus's evasion mode, but it's not red. Once again Bay's perception of G1 is that it is rusty and old.
Also "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad"

I wish this is the last and final movie from this horrible series. Michael Bay just stop. But we all know that will never happen

I'll reserve full judgement till the movie comes out

Also I really hope we get to know what happened to Cybertron

Having a really bad craving for something.

And yeah, Optimus swatting Grimlock aside did make me roll my eyes and go "Here we go again." Looks like it will be another Optimus-kills-everyone-and-everything movie. I'm still seeing it though. Probably more than once.

I can't tell- Does he actually get shot at, or what? :-?

I see an explosion, and him falling over, but that's pretty much it.

Evasion Mode Optimus looks exactly like his previous forms in robot mode, except faded and rusted.

Seems like the CGI in the Super Bowl trailer was unfinished. A few minor changes were made (Lockdown's gunface, what I'm assuming is the Death's Head.

Stinger looks a lot like Bumblebee, right down to the weird gas-cap crotchpiece thing.

Cool trailer. I think the robot designs are a bit more cohesive in this movie which make it all better on the eye during action scenes, and there seems to be much steadier camera shots. Here's hoping he learnt from the tripe that was the first 3.
I still have zero hope for story, but my expectations are so low at this point, I think I might actually enjoy it (now that every scene with an actual TF in it feels like a bonus when expecting barely any).

How many times does she need to yell "DAD!" in a single trailer?

Like five.

So basically it's about how Optimus Prime makes Grimlock his bitch while humans whine, act tough, and make bad jokes.

Did anyone notice how the scene with Marky Mark and whats her name on the ground was basically exactly the same as the scene with Shia Lebeouf and Megan Fox on the ground from the first movie? And how Marky Mark's character is essentially the failed mechanic father of Megan Fox from the second movie? And how the guy from the Hunger Games is basically John Malkovich part 2, with maybe a dash of the Fargo lady thrown in? I guess the good news is if you like Michael Bay, you can rest assured you're just going to get more of the same old crap.
