I honestly don't see how he could be Alpha Trion. All he has is the mustace. Everything else looks just like G1 Sentinel Prime. It has to be a Prime, his face looks just like Optimus's! Look, they have the same nose and everything!!!

You know, it could also be Unicron, no? Obviously not at planet scale, but wouldn't put it past Bay to bring him down to scale somehow.

Just a thought.

Knowing Bay's previous record my best guess is that the "Mustachio" is really Wreck-Gar

After all the visuals look like a pile of Junk

and the mustache and brownish orangish goldish color, and all the buzzsaws in his eyeball....

Posted by Mindmaster on December 8th, 2010 @ 7:14pm CST

No doubt the 'bot at the end was Alpha Trion. :-B

Looks better as an old fart like that Uguay character from Kung-Fu Panda and colored maroon/cobalt. :lol:

He has an interesting design, however. Can't wait to see more of DOTM. And it's only 30 days before from my birthday too! :lol:

Posted by xymox on December 8th, 2010 @ 7:14pm CST

The more I watch this, the more I think that the ship is full of Scourge clones (Sweeps). The gold one at the end is Scourge. And the fly through his eye is a hint. As the camera pans through the misc stuff transforming, it stops at what looks like another eye. But if you notice, it kinda looks like Unicron in planet mode - jagged teeth, maw and gold ring around it.

A hint that Unicron is coming after his heralds...

Maybe I'm looking at it too closely, but one possibility.

Re: Transformers Dark of the Moon announcement trailer now online! (1155361)
Posted by I_AM_MEGATRON on December 8th, 2010 @ 7:16pm CST

He has blue eyes, so he has to be an Autobot. I also wonder if the ship is the Ark.

I was waiting for a facehugger to jump at the screen throughout the entire thing. The teaser neither makes me dread nor look forward to the movie so is that a good thing or a bad thing? All i want to know is if thats the same ship that was in ROTF and why is Alpha Ttion there?

I think that the deception ship in ROTF was on Mars. Please correct me if I'm wrong tho.

So is everyone agreed that the ship on the Moon is an Autobotship with an Autobot on board?

The wrecked Decepticon ship in ROTF I'm guessing is the ship that brought Megatron to our solar system in the first place, and not the ship that crashed on the moon.

Posted by Soundwave1979 on December 8th, 2010 @ 7:54pm CST

Absolutely 100% agree with SlyTF1.

It HAS to be Sentinel Prime. Like he said, just look at the similarities with the G1 version of Sentinel...and Optimus Prime. The colour, the shape of the head, the mouth, the long wing-like shoulder parts...and the fact that this robot has the same kind of "horns" on the side of his head like Optimus is also a total give-away that this could only be a prime! Speculate all you like, but i think it's pretty damn obvious.

Wreck-Gar? No way in hell, sorry...

Alpha Trion? Not similar enough, except for the moustache.

What I don't understand is why they have all the ships to begin with. I thought Bay said he didn't see the point in "aliens who moonlight as vehicles needing other vehicles to get around" or something like that. On the other hand, wouldn't be the first time a continuity has contradicted itself...

Hmm, that's a good point. If that WAS the Decepticon ship, who would that be sitting there? Certainly not any Autobot. That would make me lean toward Unicron. Not a Decepticon, I know, but who else could it be? Scourge? Hmmm, indeed!

Yes, that was the Nemesis that was parked on Mars in ROTF. What you need to keep in mind is that this is "A" Decepticon ship and not think of it as "THE" Decepticon ship. If Primes crew (and the Nemesis) could make it off Cybertron it stands to reason that so could other craft. Everyone also needs to keep in mind that second guessing which character is which (Sentinel Prime, Alpha Trion, etc...) is absolutely and utterly pointless in Michael Bays TF universe. When you mouse over the picture it indicates that it is Shockwave (at least with my browser) therefore, regardless of how it looks or what anyones previous notions of Shockwave may be, we are not getting our favorite one-eyed, purple, monotoned bad-ass in TF3. The beat-to-hell, almost-Gundam-like bot with the funky coloring may actually be Shockwave.
What disappointed me the most about this trailer is that for a brief moment I thought it was going to tie in with "The Ghosts of Yesterday", the prequel novel to the first TF movie. In a way this new storyline/introduction set in 1969 makes for a sort of blending of elements from "Ghosts" so I'm still excited about it but I thought the novel would have made for a nice stand alone movie.

Actually, I'm not :lol:

I'm nowehere near in the series where they even see Alpha Trion, I was referring to this guy in specific, not Autobot/Decepticon facial hair.

Autobot Mustache is just what I refer to this guy as.
He kinda looks like The Last Autobot minus the mustache...
I'd say he looks most like The Last or Sentinel, though I want him to be Alpha more...

This is not Shockwave as we have already seen his head on the end of a big stick during filming.
I know in Bayverse everything is bit all over the place with canon, but how could you even think this was even a deception, never mind Shockwave?

What if the TFs can't fly? In G1 they all could fly, trucks, cars, and all, and they needed a space ship. IMO, I think on Cybertron, if they where carrying a heavy load or somthing they would possibly use other vehicles, if their vehicle mode isn't big enough.

The only thing that ruins your theory though, my friend, is the fact that we've all already seen Shockwave's head on a pole on photos of the Chicago set...and he is indeed purple and has one eye, just how we remember him...

So i'm sticking by what i said, that it's Sentinel Prime, who probably crash-landed whilst chasing Shockwave, who can be found elsewhere on the moon...

Whatever way you tried to quote it's screwed up as you make it look like I said he's Shockwave!!!
You just quoted the bit I was referring to and not my reply which stated it's not Shockwave, because as we both mentioned we have seen his head already on a stick.

That Shockwave-looking head we saw during filming could really be anyone. This could be anyone too, including Shockwave. (I'm not saying I want him to be, I'm on board with Sentinel.)

99% that's Shockwave on that stick, but who knows?

Only the Decepticons can fly, Autobots can't with the exception of the dinobots, superion, skylynx and any other plane/helicopter autobots like springer. Prime etc can't fly without rocket powered help lol

We can't base our speculation on what the bot looks like.
Let us not forget.
Ironhide is black
Sideswipe is silver
Ratchet is yellowy green
Arcee is three different bots
Jetfire is old and british.

But the discussion is fun.

aaannddd a big fat meh.
Pretty boring teaser actually, other than the ending shot of some bot. I liked how the ship looks like Megatrons crashed ship on Beast Wars.
But yea, It looks alright I guess... nothing amazing to me so far. Ugh, i'm just so sick of the over use of jagged objects everywhere, it makes everything come off as being flimsy and generic. Nothing stands out except for the occasional circles (I really watched it over and scrutinized every few frames). But I remain optimistic it will be the best of them all.... hopefully.

I was more referring to them needing vehicles to space travel. Which they seem to not need since they can "meteor" from somewhere in space to earth.

Also, am I the only one hoping that the spaceship is really part of the moon and it's one big Beast Wars deathray?

(I'm kidding, by the way)

Re: Transformers Dark of the Moon announcement trailer now online! (1155426)
Posted by TypeRProwl on December 8th, 2010 @ 8:48pm CST

Its quite patchy canon wise in G1 as well. In MTMTE Pt 2, when the Autobots get to Sherman Dam, the Autobots split up. Hound goes underwater to stop Rumble from making the tidal waves. Ironhide goes to vehicle mode, lowers his back revealing a cannon, and Bumblebee mans it and they make a new path for the water preventing it from flooding the nearby houses.

The rest of the Autobots, under Prime's orders, fly up and hover over a landing at the Sherman Dam facility and fire upon the Decepticons. This was the second situation of the Autobots flying. The first was them coming to the oil rig in MTMTE Pt 1 facing off against the Decepticons for their first skirmish on Earth. IN MTMTE Pt 3, Prime uses Sideswipe's jet pack to fly up and try and bring down the Decepticon cruiser (though Mirage ultimately succeeded in doing so). After that, I recall no instances except one of Autobots flying that didn't have aerial based alt modes. The Dinobots did it twice in Season 1 if I recall correctly, and then again in Dinobot Island with the four land based DBs following Swoop, who's following Powerglide (though in that episode, Bumblebee and Powerglide discover the island, only cause Bumblebee's jet pack was damaged by a pteranodon and he's forced to make a landing).

The rest of the time, the only Autobots who could fly were ones with aerial based alternate modes. And in "The Return of Optimus Prime", Galvatron states that Autobots cannot fly indicating that it was a solely Decepticon ability.
