*****************WARNING SPOLIERS***************
Please do not pass this line if you dont want the trailer spoiled for you.
Transformers
Trailer #1
Running time: 1:36
The trailer begins with quick shots of a rocket preparing to launch. Your basic pre-flight stuff. You can hear flight control and the countdown. You then see the rocket blasting off.
IN 2003,
THE BEAGLE 2 MARS ROVER
WAS LAUNCHED
You see the probe entering the red atmosphere of Mars.
WE WERE TOLD IT CRASHED
Many shots of the rover on the surface of Mars, all shown from a variety on cameras on-board the probe itself.
ITS FINAL TRANSMISSION WAS
CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET
More shots from the rover’s point of view.
Suddenly, you hear heavy footsteps coming toward the rover, and a shadow falls over the rover. A humanoid robot shape steps into the rover’s view, but it stands in front of the sun, silhouetting the robot.

After a beat, the robot smashes the rover with its fist.
IT WAS THE ONLY WARNING
WE WOULD EVER GET
Now we see the Earth almost exactly as it appears in the teaser poster (but without the eye). The orchestral theme begins to swell in an ominous way.
The TRANSFORMERS logo then appears as it looks in the teaser poster.

The logo itself then transforms very complicated-like into
7.4.7

Which then transforms into the Autobot symbol.

Overall, a very foreboding tone to the teaser. It fits in well with the tagline of “Their War. Our World.”
I like it.
