Screen captures from TF3 Dark of the Moon Super Bowl trailer

I'm so stoked for this movie!

I saw some large images of that bot in the upper right background when Prime is flying in with his jet pack. I do think it's Shockwave. It's slightly purple, single eye, arm looks the same as the toy. I'd bet it's him.

On the plus side they're just there to get slagged by Optimus.

looks to be at least a nice epic "BANG!" to end Bay's butchery of the franchise with. I might've been able to get more pumped for it if it wasn't for WHATEVER THE HELL THAT TOOTH-GRINDING SOUND WAS throughout the spot...

Just goes to show you that you can't please all of the people all of the time. To me, that music/sound is awesome. I've watched the trailer over a dozen times now. Can't get enough of it.

Cluttered and too action-packed... But I still like it!
Also, is that Sentinel Prime in alt mode at the bottom of the screen when Prime flies over the battle?

It seems to be a firetruck

What I mean with Barricade & The Twins I meant that the new Dragon Bot could be a new Character as with the Twins & Barricade were 1st introduced with Barricade in movie-1 and the Twins in movie 2.

I am still unsure if the red Ferrari is going to be Rodimus or Hot Rod whatever his name will be. It also could be a new charatcer also so the same can be said with the Blue-Benz.

I am so stoked for this movie I cant wait for more updates and more new trailers bring it on Mr. Bay I know you will deliver and make a killer story and a killer ending.

For now I will be just watching Prime which looks equally as awesome with new characters such as Sky Quake and re-introducing of older character such as Wheel Jack, Skywarp, Thundercracker and Jet Fire I hope these dont all look like Starscream but more cooler with cool designs.

I also hope in the episode called "Convoy" that Jet Fire is brought in remember in Armada he and Jet Fire made Jet Convoy.

You know what I like about this scene ...



I used to eat lunch at that Corner Bakery restaurant in the background a couple of times a month when I worked in downtown Chicago, a whole block away from where that scene was shot.

Hm ... or maybe not, I can't figure out which Corner Bakery this is downtown.

Also there is a wierd underground Bot in the trailer also.

From my trailer analyzation I see Ironhide vs Dreads, Laserbeak, PRIME BUSTS A CAP IN BARRICADE LONGHAUL AND BRAWL

Yeah, you're right. Just compared him to his toy image.

Wow. Well, i'd like to see what Froneyzone has to say about this, because THIS IS FREAKING EPIC!!! I will LOVE THIS MOVIE.

That flying thing has to be Laserbeak. Seeing how we've seen Frenzy and Ravage, Laserbeak would be a good choice for Soundwave minion #3.

As long as Optimus is kicking skidplate and taking faces, I am happy.

I'm with everybody who thought that was awesome. Did exactly what I was hoping it'd do - show CG and overall get me pumped for the film.

And to "g2grimmy64:" from a creative standpoint, I believe the sound in the spot was supposed to evoke a "siren" / other "warning noise" feel. That would therefore enhance the on-the-edge-of-your-seat, get-into-the-frantic-pace-of-the-action-shots visuals, assuming it brought that to the forefront of your mind. Obviously it brings up different feels for every person based on their personality/raising and such. As the saying goes, you can't please (or in this case, entice/excite) everybody. People are too varied.

Anyone else think that "Audi" looked a bit too big, scale-wise, compared to Prime?
(It might be he's hunched over though.)
I'm glad Brawl's mesh made it back in the film, along with Long Haul. I want to see them again, plus another reason. Totally got me even more excited for Botcon too. Eeee.

I'm underwhelmed.

And that noise was obnoxious.

And as far as I can tell (from the screen caps) Prime's jet pack doesn't transform into anyone/anything - it just blinks out of existence. Which is a nice homage to G1 Prime's trailer I guess.

And looking at Prime's guns... well, now we see how the MechTech gimmick ties into the movie.

Wow A dragon transformer!
Of course all you critics out there will pick this trailer apart instead of just enjoying this as entertainment. I am ecstatic to see this movie now.

Speculating about what Prime comes in on, whether it's jetfire parts or another bot, looking thru Ryan's screen caps it looks like the jetpack portion shares Prime's blue with red flames pattern. So I'm wondering if that means it's not another bot and just some kind of upgrade since it matches him so well.

You do know of Transmetal II Megatron, right?

You do know this isn't BeastWars, right?

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe the dragon-former IS Prime's jetpack/trailer?

This was a much more exciting trailer than the last Superbowl Trailer. I wish it were longer though. It was enough to get me energized for the movie. And I was happy to see the Packers win.

I just think, after Jetfire, Prime now likes wearing jet carcass, and then drops 'em when he's done.

As far as excitement, I expect more of the same. I accept these movies for what they are, Michael Bay movies that happen to have something resembling Transformers in them. Lots of explosions, thin plot, cool CGI, and overall 2 hours of popcorn eating fun!

It didn't blink out of existence. It's two different scenes spliced together. Watch how the background changes.

oh my god bad ass trailer need more transformers

DID ANY ONE NOTICE (DUNERUNNER from ROTF toyline )@ 00:27 bottom right hand corner right as optimus lands @00:27 a single frame later, LONGHUAL in upper left corner. @00:30 Optimus stabs, DEADEND/SIDEWAYS. DESERT BRAWL is in the street as well as BUMBEE RATCHET OPTIMUS(flight mode)and (I think) MIXMASTER? in the background plus the random drone on the right but there's one falling down in the center IDK who that is.

Yeah, I kinda got that, but it just made me think of my old high school's buzzing fire alarm system during fire drills in which you didn't really care about whether or not there was an actual fire in the building, you just wanted to get the f$%# away from that damned sound. Think electronic alarm clock on steroids.

NO SHOCKWAVE


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

let the speculation begin.

I'm pretty sure that the tentacle-bot IS Shockwave.

Who gives a shit?

Anybody who cares about the quality of the story, pacing, acting, actors.... You know, the stuff that makes a movie actually good, not 2+ hours of 'splosion porn just so Michael Bay can get a massive napalm hard-on.

weiyunchi wrote:okay i went and slowed down everything and there are some interesting things going on in the last few seconds. first of all, brawl is making a return in his desert version. second longhaul is also making a comeback. the third and best thing, military has less to do with the battle. finally. if they pull out a freaking rail gun to kill shockwave im going to be so ticked.

They already did that in one movie, I doubt they're dumb enough to do it again, but then again this IS a Michael Bay film..
He may just die in a bitch way like Arcee did and that may be the best we can hope for.

It was pretty brief,and there was allot happening, though I did get a bit sad when I saw prime decked out with the jet pack and rail gun he drops mid motion. Made me think of poor old jet fire. But there was really no other images of the deceptions.. Over all I'm still a little disappointed. Only because of the fact it wasn't a teaser, shoot the images from AcToys are more of a teaser, in my opinion..if I don't makes sense the just ignore my post.

See all of the above

UMMM... how can something be to action packed, what do you expect from DIRECTED BY MICHAEL BAY

Wow..... Very cool!

not much to say that hasn't already been said. Dreads smashing into Iron hide, Lazerbeak looking bot, (i say looking bot cause we don't know for sure who it is), Optimus flying over and kicking ass, all hell breaking loose.... Just what we need to end the series!
I have to say that i'm glad that Optimus is still bad ass and wasn't made to be a softy after all the bitching about him being to "blood thirsty" as some have put it.

It also apears that this movie is taking a bit of a darker tone than the first two movies. Whitch i think can be good. Don't get me wrong. I don't want a horror flick or anything, but i think a darker tone will help the story line.

Over all great sec. trailer. Defenatly better then ROTF's super bowl trailer, and this one did its job. Got everyone (well most of us) excited about the movie. Can't wait for the 18th when we get our first real trailer!

Meh,

Funny enough this trailer reminded me of "Skyline" which was released last year....and being I've already seen skyline....this trailer didn't do anything more to sway me on what I've already decided about this film.

Laserbeak was interesting. I'm growing a pair and declaring the bot Laserbeak.
"But it doesn't look like Laserbeak Josh!"
Your right, I mean Ravage looked so much like his traditional self in Fallen.

So Laserbeak is really the only new piece of eye candy that at the least made me curious. The things I would have liked to have seen, Shockwave and Soundwave, again weren't around and I've seen what was featured all before. There's a pit in my stomach that's saying Prime's Jetfire powerup is a result of his trailer....which is meh being I thought they would have tried something different vs recycling that gimmick.

Again though, this trailer has a rushed feel. Like the only shots we got to see were the shots which were finished rendering, hence why this feels like more of a teaser then trailer. I also saw Brawl, which gives creedence to the "No one really dies" continuity rule of the Movie's, I won't be surprised if I see Jazz make a come back.

Sweet We See Laser-beak..

Very very cool. Gonna have to grab me a HD version to drool over.

Seeing movie Prime in action is always a very beautiful thing.

edit: didn't even realise youtube had full HD vids. Downloaded it with a firefox plugin and put it on my PS3 to watch (my laptop can't quite manage full HD without some skipping). These Transformers movies really do show off HD very well.

Could hardly use the scenes that hadnt been rendered could they!

They only had 30 seconds to fill, I think they did a pretty good job of getting attention and drumming up some interest. Besides, we dont want the story revealed too early do we?

Any ideas what or who those crawling arms/tentacles belong to?

Here's a couple of my toughts:
That was Lazerbeak
Dragon like transformer- Trypticon maybe?
Tentelces- Soundwave (from the on set pictures we know that soundwave will be appearing on earth)

To sum up:
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thirty-six seconds that gave me some renewed hope of a TF3 that WOULDN'T suck.

Gotta love the dragon/pterodactyl/winged Cybertronian lifeform/possible Laserbeak.

Finally, a PROPER Decepticon invasion!!!

Ok guys i just saw the teaser a about 30 minutes ago and i say its brilliant, but trailers always are, my thoughts on the bird like TF i say "laserbeak" and the tentacles TF funny thing is some people say its crashing but i replayed that scene over and over and noticed something huge, its not crashing its digging into the road if u watch the tentacle motion on the right u see it repeats the patern like its churning up the road and moving towards u, what the hell is that any thoughts?

Yeah that was awesome...course the fact I was geeking out and the kids where all like, "Dad shut up we can't hear it" was funny.

z-span wrote:OK! I'm going to give a no, no, no and no to everyone who claims it is Laserbeak.

If you all remember about 3 or 4 days ago when the Wal-Mart listings were posted there was this:

TRA MV3 DLX BUZZARD (UPC 65356960492)

If anything, that helps the argument that it is Laserbeak. Laserbeak was a buzzard in G1. I think the fact that he's red and black and has those two circles which seem to homage his tape-mode are further evidence of this.

HOLY SH#&. An invasion force! 'Bee and Rosie look scared out of thier minds. Optimus Prime kickass mode appears to be the Jetfire parts, his trailer, and huge weapons. I noticed a Longhaul/Payload looking robot in the one capture and I paused the trailer and saw a brown movie 1 Brawl. I think Megatron finally will meet the scrap-pile in the sky. Bring it!

Ironhide drilled those 2 "Dread" SUVs; surprised to see him go on the offense. I love the "eerie" music, maybe the planet is doomed after all. How is the government going to cover this up!

Toy of the (Decepticon?) Dragon please. Will buy multiple repaints also.

Why do people keep talking about a dragon former? Where? Are they talking about the bird that's probably Laserbeak? I'm so confused!!

All in all, looks pretty awesome, love that Laserbeak seems to be returning and the Decepticons invading looks awesome. Hopefully this won't be as big a let down as ROTF was, as it's teaser made it look more exciting then it was.

It's not a dragon?! Screw this. *Goes back to hating the movies.*

Caught my attention.

Michael must have some kind of sicko fetish. Why does he always have the supporting/staring actresses in his movies get such hideous botox injections. Rosie looked like less of bimbo when she was working for Victoria's Secret.

Shockwave Confirmed! See screen capture.
