Seibertron member Methusalen has alerted us in this thread to a new email from Sector Seven, under the "CodeBlack" password found in the newest Transformers theatrical trailer.

The email reads as follows, and comes with a high-resolution image of the new Transformers international movie poster, which you can view directly by clicking here.

Operation Hungry Dragon 2 has begun its global initiative. Attached to this email you will find our new international "movie poster". We need to infiltrate the other side of the ocean before they do.

We're still conducting investigations of every protestor who tried to disrupt our ground campaign -- they will be neutralized. Unfortunately, our latest intel finds the level of anti-Sector-Seven feelings on the rise, no doubt thanks to X's increasing ranks of operatives.

What is a "Brotherhalo" anyway?

-John Ho

NOTE: It is unclear at this time whether this version of the poster will also be the final version of the domestic poster for the Transformers Movie, or whether or not there is still another domestic poster to be seen. Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest updates on this summer's movie, and check out the official Transformers Movie site for all the latest photos and trailers.

I still don't like this poster

[primalVICTORY]

i actually kinda like this poster. i shows more than just one transformer or something. the eye over the world is still the best one. but this one is alright. i just dont like optimus' face in it..

[harrison]

I still don't like this poster too

[dragons]

its ok but it gives to much information what megatron looks like could have at least shwed half of optmisu and half megatrons face in the center with all the other stuff on the bottom half of the poster

[OptimusShr]

Nice poster, could be better though.

And I'm curious as to what "brotherhalo" means in the E-mail. If it's a password for S7 it doesn't work yet.

[Skowl]

Aside from the first teaser poster, I think this is the best one yet. But I do agree they show too much of Megatron.

And that little shot of Scorponok on the bottom feels out of place. He barely qualifies as a "Transformer" yet he makes it on the poster and Bumblebee doesnt?

I guess they love that scene of him jumping through the sand, that they need to put it in every trailer, every commercial, and now every poster.

[Methusalen]

"Brotherhalo" is the name of a user on the "Unfiction" boards (a site dedicated to Alternate Reality Games, like the Transformers ARG). I think they were 'name dropping' again, like they've done with Master_fwiffo & Risingdragon11 in the past...

30 something days left until the official release of this movie and still no info on the soundtrack or the other voice-actors for Ironhide, Blackout, Scorpinok, Ratchet, Ironhide, Frenzy, Starscream, and Jazz. Why so secretive plus no details on the gameplay on Transformers The Game. I am starting to think that they will be no voice-overs for the other characters if they were they would done been announced bye now. 1st I am going to watch Transformers then Die Hard 4. I am also waiting on Rush Hour 3 and Resident Evil 3 which will probably be the last 2 good movies of the year I am not a Harry Potter fan so I am not looking foward to Order of The Pheonix or any of the other Kiddy crap coming out this year also Chronicles of Narnia 2 is coming out ths December again and DOA-Dead or Alive.

This further cements just how badass Megatron is. He is made of WIN.

WIN I TELL YOU!

yes, there are some transformers that will not have a voice actor. they will speak, but they speak in their alien language and it shows subtitlesi believe. all the autobots have voices. it also makes sense that scorpinok does not have a voice as he represents an animal.

[i_amtrunks]

meh.
And Why would Sector Seven be giving out movie posters anyway?

[Rodimus2006]

what the heck is sector 7 anyways some sort of sercret giverment agency like Area-51 or the CIA what is it. Ever since this movie was announced that is all I hear about.

[Methusalen]

You're basically correct about Sector 7. They are a 'black ops' government agency, that approximately 100 years ago, gained possession of the inert body of Megatron (that they dubbed "the Megaman"). They had begun reverse-engineering the Cybertronian technology from 'the Megaman' to give us the technological superiority over the other nations we enjoy today.
Additionally, about 25 years ago, they began their 'disinformation campaign' called "Operation: Hungry Dragon". They had their dummy corporation "S7 Industries" contact the Japanese company "Takara" and provided them with the story/ideas that eventually became "The Transformers". For, what better way to keep their secret than by keeping it 'right out in the open'? Definitely gives them deniable plausability!

Now, with they've expanded on their original 'disinformation campaign' with "Operation:Hungry Dragon 2" (IE: The upcoming live action movie), but apparently, the truth is closer to fiction in this scenario... The Non-Biological Entities (or "Transformers") exist, and they are on Earth... So, they're really 'pushing' the new movie... To keep their truth hidden, that's why they're releasing the posters/trailers/toys/etc... It's their project, from concept to finished product.

Or, that's the story anyways...
------------------------------------------------------------
I've found out one other neat little thing... If you zoom in (400% or so) on the poster we've retreived from this post, in the upper right corner, you can faintly read "Property of [Sector Seven cube symbol]"...

I agree. It doesn't really seem like they have their acct together on promoting the movie or getting the finishing touches in place! I'm really looking forward to this movie, but Bay and Co.: GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!!

How they hell did you see that? Were you looking at the poster really hard for an hour? Thats cool though. Wounder if itll be on the real poster.

I heard it through the grapevine
