It looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure I like how they changed the transforming sound. Something to watch a few times for sure.

So anyone hear the rumour that Bumbleebee was changed from a VW because Speilberg didnt like the fact that Hitler himself had redesigned it?
Hiiiiighly unlikely, but made me chuckle.
ah well, we should all be used to having our childhood raped by now
And just in case you couldn't tell, he went ahead and put his name under the title of the movie! Now it's "Transformers: Michael Bay." Genius!
Bleah.

All I wanted was huge lizard crushing Tokyo. No explanation. It's not real, so just have fun with it.
I'm still hopeful, but it does seem to have a lot holding it back.
That alone is reason that this will fail.
Anyone else read about the next Star Trek movie??
It's a prequel (before Kirk and Spok were on the Enterprise) . So Shatner won't play Kirk, etc.
Yep they are hoping to get Matt Damon to play Captain Kirk, and Ben Affleck for Spok.
I shit you not.

Did you see the kid in the strokes shirt? 10 years from now when you're showing the superspecial collceters addition DVD to your kids, they are going to laugh. That's like seeing a "Marshall Tucker band" t-shirt in the karate kid.
I hope tyrese gets runover by Prime.
Tyrese is in this movie.

The Affleck/Spock comment was a joke from Kevin Smith. Gotta RTFA, you know.
Whargoul, your question was answered in the very first episode of the original cartoon. The ships that the Transformers crashed in scanned the planet for examples of human technology and re-engineered the Autobots and Decepticons in order to allow them to blend in undetected. You know, except for when they're 30' tall robots.
I'm such a fucking nerd for remembering this.
Why would a bunch of robots from space look like a bunch of earth vehicles? Do they have the new Camaro on Mars too? SWEET!

I guess you have never heard of transformers before, that'd be a 20 years old question.
Maybe words like stealth, covert, infiltration, deception or camouflage help unveil the mystery.
While i kinda miss the classic transformers look, i can imagine that a lot of the transformers would have been very difficult to animate without having clipping parts etc, plus doing a proper 'real' transformation for each of them would have been a ton of work.
I doubt that even half of the original transformers would have ever been able to scratch their own butts, see their feet or get up if they fell on their backs.
Plus, boxy robots probably wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, they're too used to smooth anime shapes.
I think as long as some of the transformers show personality it's all good.
If I go in expecting it to be exactly what the fanboys wanted or have a great story, I'd be dissappointed.
The only film I really wish Michael Bay had done differently was Pearl Harbor, but I did enjoy the mindless fun of Armageddon, Bad Boys 2 and The Island.

And I like the trailer very much. The old cartoon design and story can suck it. I just want to see big robots fighting.
and for the comments on the US Godzilla movie sucking, so did almost all the japanese ones.

I agree.. we may not be used to the look, but if they have it where it counts (personality, likable character), everything will be fine.. hopefully yhe story plot is good too.
I hope humans get stuck in a transformer when they transform. SQUISH!
btw I fucking hate those 2 movies.
i think that trailer makes it look better than the previous trailer. I didnt know spielberg had a hand in it too, depending on how much say he had... Snemmy may be right.
Could have had at least had Prime say something cool at the end of the trailer, that would have had all the fanboys blowing their loads, regardless of the robots retarded designs.
We complain when the trailers don't reveal enough.
Also - I want a pink pony like that girls.
WTF? why don't they just give me the freaking video to watch? retards.
How the F%&$ does a guy make Armageddon and pearl harbour and STILL get to make new films? Does he have a warners executives daughter kidnapped somewhere?
