Seibertron forum member Albershide has given us the heads up that movie news site Comingsoon.net has unveiled the line up for pre-game, game and post-game spots that will feature a number of trailers coming up this year.

One of the game slots is taken up by none other than Transformers:Dark of the Moon. At $3 million for 30 seconds, Bay & Co. will be wanting to put out something big that will truly hype up the release of the movie.

To see the complete list for what other trailers will be shown, head to Comingsoon.net's news article.

Was not generations and reveal the shield satisfying to you? (Tracks, Jazz, Thunderwing, etc.)

What about all the third party masterpieces like the Bruticus upgrade, targetmasters, and classics Rodimus upgrade?

What about the new images of masterpiece Rodimus?

and lets certainly not forget Transformers War for Cybertron

Now back on subject.....

Captain America!!!! woo hoo!!!!

Damn, $3m for 30 seconds of footage. Sorry to say this but you American's are too crazy when it comes to the Superbowl. Though, I am looking forward to what they come up with. For a 30 second spot, they have to make it worth their while.

You are allowed your opinion and I am not wanting to dimish what you said but I do disagree with you. Bad shows? Umm, Transformers Animated and the new Transformers Prime were actually pretty good. I look forward to watching Prime when it starts in February. Bad movies, ok, they will never win Best Picture but can you say they never delivered what they promised? Just because the movie wasn't that good doesn't change the fact that ROTF cleaned up at the box office. Someone must have liked it after all the fans went to see it. Just because all the DOTM toys that have been revealed suck (with the possible exception of the new Starscream) lets not forget Movie 1 and Movie 2 had some decent toys including Deluxe Wreckage, ROTF Leader Optimus Prime and Leader Starscream.

I'm all for a reboot to this franchise though, I don't even care if it is live action. To be honest, live action Transformers was a very bad idea. Animated movies have come along way and have lost their sterotypical kids only mentality.

Have to give you credit for having been the first. It was kind of a given that it was going to happen but you did have documentable proof. Here's one for you though...is it going to be the same "Lunar Landing" trailer or are we going to get a new one with Linkin Park providing new music? There has been speculation about one of the songs from their new "Thousand Suns" album being featured for the soundtrack but it's all just rumor at this point. The trailer is going to need something to hook a viewers attention and LP's music would make for a darn good hook.

Gotta say I was thinking this was coming... Here's hoping we get glimpses at many new bots!

I'm one of them!
I do, however, love the Gen. 1 cartoon too. That's the origin!

I'm sad to hear you say that.
Ok... so, they're called 'Transformers', right? So it can't be TOO bad to see a detailed version of these characters actually transforming. To me, that's what's so awesome about the live movies... along with the sounds associated with each character. I'm honestly kinda envious of the people who came up with the visual effects for the transformations in the live movies. I wish I was smart enough to have come up with something like that.

I will watch the superbowl (unless the Jets are in it) to see the spot. I am a huge fan of the 80's toys and cartoon, but I didn't like the 80's movie. However I do like the 2 new ones and I am sure I will like Dark Of the moon.

by **OptiMagnus** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:38 pm

Yes!!! A reason to watch the Super Bowl!!!
JK I always watch it...but this will help aid my pain if the Pittsburgh Squealers are in the game.
I had no doubts this would happen, and I'm really excited. I wonder if they'll do the Daytona 500 too. That's far-fetched, but more movie trailers have popped up there over the past four years or so.

They should!
DOTM has the 48, 88, & 42 cars in the movie as The Wreckers. (:

Finally, someone who likes G1 AND the movies! Just because something is new doesn't mean it's ruined forever.

Plus, in 2009 ROTF was advertised on the 18, 24, and 39 cars.

I think I remember that on the 18...
Strange to me that they advertised on 3 different cars on 3 different teams. They picked some of the best drivers tho, which was the point I think for the best representation.
Hopefully the 48, 88, & 42 will have a TF theme sometime during the season!

I'd love that since I'm sorta a NASCAR fan. =P Plus, Newman (39) is my favorite driver, so that was extra awesome. :APPLAUSE:

I'm sure NASCAR would be thrilled. Since I work for a pro hockey team, our GM gets a magazine dedicated to sports management. The numbers for NASCAR are not good: advertising money is down by 67%, attendance is down 35%, viewership is down more than 50%. The rumor among sports professionals is that Fox may be on the verge of voiding their contracts with NASCAR due to moneys lost. It seems that NASCAR has "worn out their welcome" with the popular audience. It certainly doesn't help that the season is nearly 10 months long- longer by far than any other professional sport. It was a very interseting article about how they are trying to bring back their viewership...I have to wonder if this movie may be a part of it.

The end of nascar???? Oh man, please don't tease me like that! :grin:

I mean, i respect preety much any form of motor sport to a point.... But Nascar has to be one of the most redunant out there. I just don't see what drives (or i guess i should say used to drive :lol:

) people to watch/attend these races.

It also doesn't help that Speed chanel has about 10 different shows dedicated to the sport either. It sucks that during the Formula 1 racing series we only get 1 race every 2 to 3 weeks, and is ussualy shown at 5am on sunday with virtualy no re-airs. But nascar races are shown 4 times in one weekend with post race shows, after interview shows, then a discusion afterwards on why Dale jr. didn't pass on lap 1,245. :BANG_HEAD:

I think your right, people are just getting plain sick of it! And thats fine with me. Nascar has lost its roots anyways.
