EDIT: ... now that I've regained some semblance of sense after being absolutely flabbergasted (in the good way!) ...
that short scene with Barricade chasing "Sam" looked AMAZING. Just wish I could figure out which TF that is who shows up around 0:25, who jumps, twists halfway in midair and shoots off a missile... Ironhide? Or is it one of the Decepticons?
Anyhow That music that kicks in about halfway through was pretty dope, too.
I was sold on this movie after seeing some of these designs, and the second trailer. This one just made me go "SQUEE" with joy like a loony Transformers fangirl would. July 4th won't come soon enough!!!

I gotta say. It's growing on me. I can see why they couldn't go with the blocky design for the transformers.
Look back, how many Alternator, Classics, G1, G2 figures could put their hands infront of their chest?
The block design makes them too limited animation wise.
The scene of Ironhide doing a dive while shooting, looked pretty sweet.

The full transformation scene that I saw in New York in February was phenomenal. It's part of what really started to change my opinion about this movie even if a few of the robot designs look ridiculous.

Another bit I liked was the frenzy part, although how you could not notice a freaking shiny thing making as a lot of noise like that is beyond me but was cool nonetheless.

I don't know, I wasn't particularly impressed by this video. The things that look like they should be impressive aren't shown (transformation, fighting, chases, driving, etc).

GAWD!!
Frickin' sweetness! This is gonna kick so much ass!

I couldn't speak after I watched this. I just made this sort of high pitched "eeeeeee" sound for about thirty seconds and couldn't shift the giant grin from my face. They'll have to carry me out of that theatre come July. In a bucket.

I would, but I'm afraid suffering through Mission Impossible III and The Legend of Zorro may have left me emotionally scarred.

I could be mistaken, but I believe it was Victor 'frikkin' Caroli doing the voice over at the end!!!

I still don't like the idea that they can just willy nilly change their alt mode. It make ver little sense for them to even have one stable alt mode.

If it's any consolation I really liked The Island, apart from Bay's spastic cuts during the action scenes.

That was the first thing I thought of Raymond! I thought it was pretty rad, even if it was a snippit. I really liked the action scene of Ironhide firing off a knuckle missle. About Frenzy though... was he, or was he not a boom box under the chair as it he was transforming? I vaugely recall something about Frenzy taking any shape he wanted. Anywho, anyone want to help me out with that?

"Do a Barrel roll" made it into the movie after all then. lol.

It's not his gravel narrator voice he used on the series itself, but his voiceover voice he used on the Secret Files of Teletran II from season 3 and the commercial for the Sony 20th Anniversary DVD.Neko wrote:I don't think that was him...He sounds sort of like victor...I dunno.Raymond T. wrote:The narrator from G1!Neko wrote:Forgive me for my horrible tendencies to not know celebrities, but.......who's Victor Caroli?Raymond T. wrote:DID NO ONE NOTICE?!?!?!

If it is him, nice touch adding him for the voice over.

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.
