I understand the dislike for Michael Bay but i'm glad they keep making these movies... it means continued interest in the brand and that means new toys
We can take away alot from this trailer though as to where the story will go.
1. We know there is going to be 2 timelines, past and present (cool to me, 2 sets of characters)
2. These big planet sized set pieces have to reference Primus or Unicron (finally)
3. Prime looks evil with the purple eyes, probably corrupted. (cool flip if Unicron revives and champions Prime instead of Megatron)
4. Hot Rod is in this film, bet he will be a main character (could that yellowish face be hotrods?). I bet Hot Rod will be instrumental in redeeming possessed Prime.
5. That 2 headed dragon, its gotta be Predaking or a tribute to transmetal beastwars Megatron. (I bet the dragon is Megatron's alt mode in the medieval past timeline)
6. Onslaught is in the movie... Bruticus PLEASE!
7. There is some artifact tech piece that Merlin/Arthur will have, the key to cybertron perhaps?
8. The big transformer that swings down the sword and misses the guy is definitely Megatron, I saw people post and ask who that was... how can you miss that one?
I'll go see it in theaters... these movies have always been less about the story to me and more about the visuals, and I'm entertained by that. To see Bruticus, Hot Rod, Unicron on the big screen is too cool.
