Another flv file:

http://rapidshare.de/files/24498702/transformers_teaser.flv.html

If the file does not worked for you go to the official website:

http://www.transformersmovie.com

The flv file worked on my desktop but not on my laptop, please let me know either it worked or not on your pc.

And trust me, this is a tease in every sense of the word. Good Lord, I absolutely can not wait to see this. An HD-quality version should be available early next week, with the teaser debuting in theaters with Pirates II next Friday (the 7th)...

http://www.transformersmovie.com/

Any chance anyone can capture a downloadable version? Thanks!

Yeah, go ahead and delete this thread. The other one was posted while I was posting this one.

the server is down!!

:(

i cannot get flv files to play on my computer, any chance of a .mov or .wmv format?

thanks

:)

the official site is down

:(

How are you encoding it? I would like to encode it to Qucktime for my site.

Ok Michael, this is your only one chance to redempt yourself for screwing up 'The Island'

:)

transformers website is back online.

Was just about to post about this myself! My software won't let me convert this flv into mpg or avi though, has anyone else managed to encode into qt, mpg, avi or any other format? (if possible not on rapidcon but another site - megaupload is pretty quick)

well I just watched it and I was far from impressed. It in fact was far from what I expected I was actually hoping to see something anything not this shadowy character kicking over the mars lander or whatever it did. It just didn't impress me at all and I felt kind of let down. oh well I'll just have to wait until an actual trailer is in released and hope it is alot better then this.

edit:

Added better version of teaser to the main site:
http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=transformers

this teaser is really absolutely about nothing. Simply nothing. Really disapointed me, anyway thx for mov file M-L!

It's an "announcement teaser"
There most likely is NO footage to show yet.

yep, thats true, anyway it doesnt change anything about how bad it is.

what are the Transformers anyway?

I know they are machines that can take any shape (from watching a few episodes of the Cartoon series with my nephews and nieces) but specifically I am asking:

are they man made?

are they alien?

are they just machines with a humanoid inside controlling them or are they actually alive?

:)

what are the Transformers anyway?

From Wikipedia:

A Transformer is an intelligent machine that is able to "transform", reconfiguring itself into a common and innocuous form, such as a car, aircraft, or animal. The taglines "More Than Meets the Eye" and "Robots in Disguise" reflect this ability.

Transformers originally featured two main factions warring for control of their home planet, Cybertron. The heroic Autobots (Cybertrons in the Japanese version) were led by Optimus Prime, and their opponents, the Decepticons (Destrons in the Japanese version), were led by Megatron. The Autobots were mainly cars in warm colors while the Decepticons were planes in cool colors, with some exceptions.

What are the differences between American and Japanese versions? Since the first time I read about a Japanese version, I was curious.

Here is everything you need to know about Transformers. For the record, it was created in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_series

Edit:Correction, I mean the cartoon was origionally created in the US, but they were based on Japanese toys.

How did you convert it to Quicktime? I tried it myself using SnagIt, Virtualdub, Digital Sound Recorder and Sorenson, but my QT is 25 megs and it has choppy playback at some places.

Used Camtasia Studio 3 to capture it (same as SnagIt).
Your hard-drive needs to be able to keep up with the capture to avoid choppyness. (I'm using a 10,000 rpm drive).
And filesize depends on compression used.

Added a better QT7 version to the main site:

Thanks, farmboybob :)

Edit: 5 Things You Didn't Know About Transformers (http://www.askmen.com/toys/special_feature_100/104_special_feature.html), from AskMen.com (http://www.askmen.com/)

"We're now starting our first, but certainly not our last Transformers movie that I hope will be an enduring franchise ... we're going to be making many, many more Transformers movies in the future." [Steven Spielberg]

trailer was a let down.

and i think its going war of the worlds on us. "it was the only warning we ever got".....

just stupid, transformers crash landed, they didnt INTENTIONALLY go to earth.

i knew this would be a let down as soon as Spielberg ruined it by saying it would be "about the people"....

i knew this would be a let down as soon as Spielberg ruined it by saying it would be "about the people"....

I believe spielberg also said in an interview there would be more than one movie in the works to follow this one so he could make this one about the people and center around them and for the next focus a whole heap more on the transformers.

"It is the year 2005. The treacherous Decepticons have conquered the Autobot's home planet Cybertron. Now from secret staging grounds on two of Cybertron's moons the Autobots plan to take back their homeworld."

Remember when that seemed so far into the future? :confused:

This teaser doesn't really get me going. I'm gonna wait for a full trailer before I get worried though. [crosses fingers]

Here's a production still from the movie; I don't know what that is:

http://www.keepmyfile.com/thumb/11520175712ad35c.gif (http://www.keepmyfile.com/image/2ad35c852887)

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/180px-Bumblebee_dreamwave2.jpg Bumblebee in Dreamwave comics (source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumblebee_%28Transformers%29))

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/bumblebee.gif Bumblebee transforming into a VW Beetle. From: flyingomelette.com (http://www.flyingomelette.com/cartoons/tf/tfanim.html)

j7wild, apparently it is Bumblebee in robot mode, but in this movie Bumblebee will transform into a Chevrolet Camaro instead of a Volkswagen Beetle :confused:

That is what wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumblebee_%28Transformers%29) says. Also this (http://michiganclassics.com/TransformersCamaro/) page seems to confirm that (a bit old, anyway).

Apparently, this image shows the model that will represent Bumblebee in car mode:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/81923.jpg (source: michiganclassics.com (http://michiganclassics.com/TransformersCamaro/))

I believe it is a bit disgusting. Also, it is said that Soundwave will be an helicopter and Bonecrusher (a Constructicon in G1 animated series and in the comics) will be a mine clearer!

Devastator is set to make an appearance in the Michael Bay directed film, as an M1 Abrams tank. It appears he will not be a Constructicon, with Bonecrusher as a separate character, as a mine clearer. [source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructicons)]

Curiously, Devastator was a robot formed by the union of all the Constructicons:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/400px-Constructicons.jpg (source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructicons))

Now it seems that Devastator will be a new individual character.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/Constructicons_toon.jpg "Left to right: Hook, Bonecrusher, Long Haul, Scavenger, Mixmaster" (source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructicons#Animated_Series))

Apparently, there will be some changes in the old G1 Transformers...

Edit and note: The wikipedia article for this Transformers movie has a link to the ML respective movie page :) See it at the end (link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_%282007_film%29)).

Question: Any idea on what Megatron will transform into? Have any of you heard anything?

QT trailer online now(official site)
http://www.transformersmovie.com/public/video_files/transformers_trailer_1_large.mov

Actually that's not a new trailer but the teaser from the first posting. But it's an official mov file this time.

I recorded this off the E! channel earlier today, but I keep getting responses that it doesn't work. Some people say it crashes when they OK the ActiveX request.

http://www.bayfans.com/news/2006/july/index.php?page=0711b

Please let me know, and if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.

Dear God... Transformers, Bay, they might as well call it "**** blows up." I saw the preview before Scanner Darkly and there were half-hearted laughs/groans in the audience when "A Michael Bay Film" came up.

Heres (http://www.alldumb.com/item/12724/)the comicon footage for transformers!! The footage doesnt start until half way through. Its just test footage but there are a couple of cool scenes in there, and it ends with a different teaser trailer!!

I have already seen this thats old, thats way old I think that is like 6 months to a year old and I think it was already posted on here somewhere.

Not to be picky, but one thing I noticed about the teaser. After it shows the Beagle 3 on Mars, shouldn't the sky be red with white clouds instead of blue with white clouds? Maybe I need to go watch tv for a while and stop nitpicking everything.....

Not to be picky, but the spacecraft is called Beagle 2, not 3... :D , lol, just joking.

Take a look at discover.com (http://www.discover.com/issues/dec-04/features/color-of-mars/?page=2)

How a real image of Mars surface looks like, according with the link above:

Aaah but that's what the little green men WANTED us to see

Here is a short teaser that was made by a fan. It is very well done by 2 individuals. It features music from "The Core" as well as original music by the creators of the clip.

Its been posted in the forums on Michael Bay's Web Site.

Enjoy!

Also, check out the deconstructing of the sequence, which is also available for download.

From that same thread in the forum that rexstudios have showed us, I found this:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/mega.gif

I remember to have read in wikipedia that G1 Megatron's toys transformation mode were another thing but not a gun (I don't remember exactly what) because there were parents groups protesting it. What will happen in this movie?

This image is located here (http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=821&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=80).

The truth is that every day I am more interested in this movie.

transformers are so geeky! but i'm actually one of the few who appreciate michael bay as a director and his films, so maybe he can make something good out of it.

honestly, don't bother with these .viv version. they are crap. the yahoo hd encode looks pretty good.

I am looking forward to this movie even if I have some mixed feelings about it:

being a Michael Bay movie, it has the OBLIGATORY Michael Bay Trademark Car Chase Scene with Vehicles getting SPLIT in Half:

Bad Boys 2
The Island
The Rock

Get original for God's Sake!!

is it my Imagination or are all 3 files are 43 MB in size?

:confused:

it is your imagination
only 720p doesnt seem to be working for me, but there were problems with it before...

someone remixed the music and I think it has more impact:

http://www.darkbulb.com/TFTrailerImproved.wmv

don't mind the poor picture quality

:)

dude, it sux. I could take ANY trailer and overmix it with requiem for a dream theme. it has indeed no impact, the music doesnt fit, its priceless...
take any immediate or x-ray, overmix it and u get the same - impressive music, but absolutely not working with the cut and the whole concept of trailer

nice catch anyway

I have just watched it and I would have to say I am now offically impressed.
when I seen Prime transform I had a look on my face like this :D
but I was all "say something damn it!" it would have been perfect if he had spoke but I can wait until that happens.

I am also very impressed! :D

And, what are those humans inside Blackout? Holograms?

Probably. Just to have the impression and camo that they r real! U would freak if u saw a chopper without a pilot in it.

Thanks Kn'thrak. The Blackout sequence is wonderful! :D

By the way, who is him?

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/mt-1.jpg

I only watched the cartoons a few times when it was on TV while my Nephews and Nieces were watching it.

I am not familiar with the characters and I don't know who is bad or good.

Can anyone take screenshots from the Trailers and tell me which one is which and if they are good or bad and add a description of what their powers are?

Thanks!!

General rule of thumb with Transformers... cars and trucks are good, while most other vehicles (planes, helicopters, tanks, etc.) are bad. That isn't an absolute rule, but I think that holds true of the movie.

yeah then think again


see? that was my point....when I´ll come back in the evening and have some time, I´ll take some my favourite music and mix it over - without single edit, just overlay music...
u guyz r really artists, u r screwing up the whole concept and originality of trailer *thumbs down*

Thanks Kn'thrak. The Blackout sequence is wonderful! :D

By the way, who is him?

That would probably be Bonecrusher...

Can anyone summerize what transformers are visible in the trailer. I only recognized Optimus Prime and Scorpinok. Like for example who is that climbing out of the pool, who is that yellow mustang Saleen, who is that police car and helicopter?

Can anyone summerize what transformers are visible in the trailer.

Yes, please. Here, in Poland, Transformers aren't well known...

I think the yellow Mustang (actually, I think it is a Camero) is Bumblebee (Autobot). The others I'm not overly sure.

Jazz, Rachet and Ironhide were seen only in vehicle form. So, well still haven't seen Starscream (unless he's one of the jets shown), Brawl (tank) and Frenzy (stereo).

Thanks. Now I know the names.

Thx nikiwgb, if I'm not mistaken these are the goodies and the badies:

goodies:
-Optimus Prime
-Bumblebee
-Barricade
-Bonecrusher (not sure about this one)

badies:
-Megatron
-Blackout
-Starscream
-Skorponok

From the other thread:

Edit: Source: Yahoo! live webcast with main screenwriters for film

This is what I got:

Optimus Prime
Bumblebee (confirmed to be a camero!)
Jazz
Ratchet
Ironhide

Megatron (original dynamic with "starscream" included)
Starscream
Bonecrusher
Brawl
Barricde
Scorpinoc
Frenzy

Speaking of which, has anyone heard about any of the voices for the Transformers? I haven't heard anything since Peter Cullen was announced to do the voice of Optimus Prime.

I'm guessing it's the same one, they must have changed the name. In any case, Incinerator/Burnout has EMP so he must be the one seen in the trailer with a pulse radiating from itself.

the one from 12/20?

it's the same trailer!!

:boo:

This trailer is totally awesome!!! It does exactly what a teaser is suppose to do, gives us just enough of the Transformers to get us excited(especially Prime's footage), but leaves us wanting so much more.

I will agree that we need a direct link to the trailer on the website, because it apprears to be in 640 revolution not 480.

There´s a winning tagline from fans spoken by Optimus Prime himself, just wait for the date card reveal!

I found this on another web page:

If you watch the trailer and when it says "all we received was this signal", if you look at the top right hand of the screen, it says Sector Seven and at the bottom of the screen it says, "takara38". If you go to SectorSeven.org, there is a password screen. If you type in that password, there are a few things you can do there, but more to come once the movie gets closer. There is also a pdf file that talks about the video game, and a "fake" transmission from one of the movie's soldiers, like a last will and testament.

I want a longer trailer!! Butit's an excellent teaser though!

Are you sure? I don't believe he will be so small. Can him, being so small, transforms into an Cybertronian jet?

...Jazz, Rachet and Ironhide were seen only in vehicle form. So, well still haven't seen Starscream (unless he's one of the jets shown), Brawl (tank) and Frenzy (stereo).

Starscream is, according to what I have read and I am speculating, one of those F-22 (see this post (http://www.movie-list.com/forum/showpost.php?p=126387&postcount=87)).

Can anyone summerize what transformers are visible in the trailer. I only recognized Optimus Prime and Scorpinok. Like for example who is that climbing out of the pool, who is that yellow mustang Saleen, who is that police car and helicopter?

The police car is Barricade (Decepticon). The helicopter is Blackout (Decepticon). The yellow car is Bumblebee (Autobot).

Yes, please. Here, in Poland, Transformers aren't well known...

Try also to read the other ML thread (http://www.movie-list.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5687) :) There you will find some more explanations and links.

General rule of thumb with Transformers... cars and trucks are good, while most other vehicles (planes, helicopters, tanks, etc.) are bad. That isn't an absolute rule, but I think that holds true of the movie.

I don't agree and I hope it will not be like that. Blackout is really astonishing.

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_2007_film):

AUTOBOTS
Optimus Prime - Kenworth K-100
Bumblebee - 1975 Chevrolet Camero, later reformated to 2008-2009 Camero
Ironhide - GMC Topkick pickup truck
Jazz - Pontiac Solstice
Ratchet - Search & Rescue vehicle based on the Humvee design

DECEPTICONS
Megatron - Cybertronian alternate mode Alien Jet, Earth form unknown
Starscream - F-22 Raptor
Brawl - Tank
Blackout - MH-53 Pave Low Special Ops helicopter
Scorponok - Mechanical Scorpion
Bonecrusher - Buffalo H Mine-Protected Vehicle
Barricade - Saleen-modified Ford Mustang Police car
Frenzy - Alt. mode currently unknown; rumored to be a boombox

BTW, IMDB is currently listing Frank Welker as being the voice of Megatron in the movie. The last time I looked (which was just a couple of days ago), the word "rumored" was beside the listing, but the word "rumored" has been removed. Frank Welker voiced Megatron in the original series. I haven't seen anything official about that, though, but I wouldn't mind having the "original" Optimus Prime and Megatron voices back.

As for the other voices "original" voices, Peter Cullen also did the voice of Ironhide, Frank Welker also did the voice of Frenzy, Bumblebee didn't have a very distinctive voice (but was voiced by Dan Gilvezan), Jazz was voiced by Scatman Cruthers who died in 1986, and Starscream was voiced by Chris Latta, who died in 1994. Not sure who voiced Rachet, and the others I'm not familiar with.

Bumblebee from the Prequel Comic

That one is not Megatron...

Most believe it to be either Jazz or (more likely) Ironhide. Megatron is introduced later in the film and I would think his foot wouldn't have missed that little girl.:D

Did anyone catch the gag with My Little Pony? Hasbro makes My Little Pony and Transformers... There will also be a gag featuring a truck load of Furbies that gets... well... dealt with.:evil:

Most believe it to be either Jazz or (more likely) Ironhide. Megatron is introduced later in the film and I would think his foot wouldn't have missed that little girl.:D

As far as I know there hasn't been any robot images released for Ironhide but given the structure of the robot coming out of the pool I doubt it could transform into the truck below and the colors don't match either (just click on the thumbnails to enlarge the images):

As for Jazz, below is what is believe to be his robot form, although close to the swimming pool robot and similar in color I didn't see any tires or headlights.

Now, here are the following reasons why I believe that robot is Megatron, first the concept designs closely match in structure and color:

Most believe it to be either Jazz or (more likely) Ironhide. Megatron is introduced later in the film and I would think his foot wouldn't have missed that little girl.:D

Second, below are the prototype (unpainted) toys labeled as Megatron being sold in eBay. The built, specially the head and feet, matches the one in the trailer.

However, it is possible that the said robot is a Transformer in Cybertronian form of which only Optimus Prime (blue) and Starscream (marroonish brown) have been revealed (I'd post more images if it weren't for the 10 images per post rule):

That is most likely. I think the pool is where one of them lands. That is why they are not very recognizable. They are in their Cybertronian form, and it would seem from the designs that they don't really carry any recognizable features until they are given earth forms. Essentially, they won't look like a truck (or whatever) until later. Protoform Prime doesn't even look like a semi, only the head gives you any indication of who he is. Also, it would seem that most of them have "battle modes" which cover their face... also disguising them.

Bumblebee from the Prequel Comic...

Kal-el, I can't see nothing :(

Edit: Now I can... very interesting.

Sorry, it must have moved or something....

EDIT: Oh and just so you dont think this is a new trailer, its just a response to post that none of old links to trailer work anymore. I could use quote, but guess who´s lazy? ;) (not to mention I have no idea how to edit post and insert quote in it)

Yeah but these links are also dead. Yahoo uses a new system...

Yeah I noticed yesterday too, my post originally sounded "Yahoo seems to have changed their system",lol. But I thought its just that I have to ad the whole link, not only till the ID number end. Thats why I edited it.
I hope there´s a system in it and it doesnt work randomly. U still can DL the file, but the link doesnt keep alive long :(

Thanks, but not working for me.

Hate the new system. All Links to HD-Trailers from Yahoo are dead now.

So let's find a solution. :ninja: They change the IPs...

Meet the solution
480p: http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?sid=31621597&sdm=web&pt=rd
720p: http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?sid=31652446&sdm=web&pt=rd
1080p: http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?sid=31652517&sdm=web&pt=rd

The trick is about going one step backward. Now just copy this into 3rd party SW (I use Free Download Manager) and the link automatically generates.
The credit goes to editman, who posted this 1st, however deleted it. I guess I should too, so everybody read before yahoo mods come and improve their "bulletproof" mechanism ;)

Thank you :-)

The difference is in date and comment cards and "this film is not yet rated" voice-over. And they are without IGN logo :)

any idea when or better say if a final trailer will arrive?

The 2 first Transformers TV spots are great but I can't download any version for the third...:confused:

The third Tv Spot is offline by now. I uploaded the (best) wmv version here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ln1vag
Speaking of > Michael Bay claimed that the shots of Prime´s lips were only test shots and not definitive solution how to make them look like ....

Thank you very much st39.6 but I don't understand: test shots on a TV spot?

It wasnt in fact officially released yet hence the offline state. It was just leaked version I guess :)

Maybe it's just me but Optimus Prime's face seems to look a lot CGI on that TV spot. Hopefully it was a test.

Thank you very much st39.6 but I don't understand: test shots on a TV spot?

Generally, when the trailers/tv spots come out they utilize earlier renderings, since they are made early in the time frame in which the visual effects are completed. Most likely the film versions of the scenes we have seen will be much better with added shading, details, etc. The third TV spot in which Optimus Prime speaks was edited by some european agency, which utilized its own voice over for Prime. It was not Peter Cullen, and most likely, the line was not the one he will speak in that scene.

Also, they have mentioned Late April or Early May for the full (Final?) trailer. My guess would be it'll run with Spider-Man 3...

Early review, MAJOR SPOILERS

Harry and gang - Long time listener, first time caller...

First, let me say, I don't know how to write a review so stick with me, I have a lot of thoughts in my head about this movie so this could be all over the place. But I just HAD to write in, I am currently the most happyest fanboy on earth!

Here is the short version:

I JUST SAW OPTIMUS PRIME IN AN ORGY OF KICKASSERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Screw you guys. The flames are cool. Nipples on batman = lame, flames on optimus = cool.

2) The robots in general are OUTSTANDING. I think ILM is doing them right? Whoever it is needs a raise - they look so real in the scenes its unbelievable (except frenzy or soundbyte or whatever he is. I’ll get into that later). They blend with the "real world" stuff so well, its awesome.

3) Optimus "lips" look bad and just piss me off. I can't imagine it will bother the general public, but anyone who has an attachment to "prime" will have issue with this for sure. There is no reason to give him lips. He speaks a few times with the shield up and it totally works….anyway. That is my only MAJOR gripe with the film. (but I doubt it's worse than "Cloudactus")

4) Shia Labuof is great as Sam Witwicky. I really wasn't sure how I would feel about him, but he nails it. He's got a great vibe on screen, I really wanted him "win". He's actually very funny as well. Great casting, he's legit.

5) Megan Fox (im sure that's no coincidence), I have no clue if she can act or not because I was fixated on her tits and *** whenever she was onscreen - pure sex (god bless you Michael Bay). I had to IMDB her after the movie because I had no idea who she is or what she had been in. I didn't care then and I don't care now.

6) Supporting cast is far better than I expected. Turturro is great as the quirky head of Sector Seven. The ladies in the audience im sure loved the beefcake tyrese and josh "las vegas" duhmel. Bernie mac and Anthony Anderson are very very funny in their small roles.

7) Action…seriously…you've never seen anything like this. Hate all you want on Bay, this is THE guy you want creating giant robot mayhem! And he does.

Here is the long version:

Last week I was at the Harkins Arrowhead Theater here in Peoria, Arizona to see Blades of glory. When I was leaving, some theater person handed me a flyer and asked if I wanted to see a test screening of an "upcoming PG-13 major release summer action movie" (or something like that, I can't remember). Being a movie geek, and a broke one, I was like "**** yeah, free movie".

I've never been to a preview or test screening or whatever before, so I didn't really know what to expect. All week I had been trying to figure out what it could be, my friend said "just pray it's not "Flatulence Four: taking a number two"" THANK GOD it wasn't…that would have sucked. I was thinking maybe Die Hard or maybe Pirates, but I honestly never thought I would be Transformers, I figured with all the CG that it probably wasn't ready yet. I was partly right.

Anyway, i showed up last night at the same Harkins and the theater was packed, looked like a lot of families with kids and some scattered people around my age (I'm 28). After we sat for a few minutes I was looking around at the group of "reserved" seats that were taped off….and then I saw him….MICHAEL ****ING BAY was in the house! Right then I knew what was up and I thought I was gonna ****!

I didn't say anything to anyone…mainly because I didn't know anyone else there…but I knew… I couldn't believe my luck. there could have been some other cast or something there, but I didn't recognize anyone else in the audience.

A few minutes after The Bay sat down ( I am an open Bay supporter (minus Pearl Harbor) so you can commence with your blind hateration below at anytime) , a very studio looking guy stood up in front of the theater and told us that "a lot of effects weren't done and the music was temp" blah blah. I didn't give a ****- I wanted the ****er to start! He finally says we are the "first audience to see
TRANSFORMERS!"

There was a loud cheer in the theater, I looked around and many of the older moms/dads didn't quite get it, but their kids seemed to know the score. I saw two 15ish year old fat kids do a chest bump…alas, I had no one to chest bump- but I totally would have!

So then the movie started, I have to be honest, I was smiling ear to ear- I was about to see the MOTHER****ING TRANSFORMERS before anyone else!

Continued:

FIRST, BITCHES! (never been able to say that before :)

So, the movie…

It opens with what looks like the surface of a planet, Cybertron, but it doesn't look anything like the cybertron we know from the cartoons. Its more like a rocky, mountainous wasteland, but alive…if that makes any sense. Then we hear a voice and I know this voice, OPTIMUS ****ING
PRIME- albeit he sounds older and more bassy than he did in the show. It was cullen for sure though. He tells a short back story about the AllSpark Cube and how it was lost during an epic battle and all transformers went searching the galaxy for it. We see the cube floating through space and coming up on earth where it starts a comet like decent through the sky. OP stops talking and the screen goes black and then : TRANSFOMERS logo comes up. That's the only credits, no laundry list of names that no one cares about, just a logo. Loved it.

After the logo we are dropped into the desert where we come up on some army guys in the back of a helicopter as they arrive at a base in Qatar, josh duhmel, tyrese and that latino guy from prison break. After some army talk and Josh Duhmel doing a cutesy baby talk webcam thing with his wife and child (luckily this doesn't really play much of a factor in the movie) we see that there is an inbound helicopter that isn't supposed to be there…cue ominous music and then BRING ON THE BANG BANG! The helicopter lands and is surrounded by armed men and tanks- but fret not for helicopter guy, cause its Blackout and he came to bring the pain.

This is the scene that is in the trailer, where he starts transforming and the army goes Michael Bay on his ***. Only this time it didn't cut away like the trailer- he transforms, stands up and gets to blowing **** up!

The transformation is unreal, it looks SO ****ING COOL! Gears shifting, metal scrapping, pistons doing pistony things and it had the TRANSFORMATION SOUND FROM THE CARTOON! It had a little geek chubby, I couldn't stop smiling. Blackout proceeds to **** **** up and nothing the army does even slows him down. I recognized a few of the shots form the trailer like the tanks flying through the air and the EMP looking thing he does. The scene is like 3-4 minutes of him just wreckin shop on the base- it was ****ing awesome. There was a part where tyrese is laying on the ground below him that was kinda lame, Blackout just looks at him for a minute giving his buddy time to shoot. But then he sprouts scorponok from his back and takes out a WHOLE AIRFIELD!

I just remember thinking now THAT'S how you start a giant robot movie. We then go to a school where Shia is doing a show and tell kinda thing on his grandpa (this plays a key roll in the film but I wont ruin it with detail spoilers). This whole scene and the next two or three are all simply to set up the main story of Sam (Shia) getting his first car (bumblebee) and setting up the Shia/hot girl plot.

As is my problem with most "origin" movies, theres a **** load of origin and not a lot of action for the first 30-40 minutes or so. Which is probably why I like spidey 2 better than spidey 1. Maybe its my fault for knowing too much about the world before hand. Whatever.

So there are some really funny moments with Shia and the girl (ill call her Foxy). Foxy is slowly wooed by Shia with the help of Bumblebee via his radio. He doesn't speak at all, he talks through the radio….which sounds really lame, and is really lame for the first couple times but then it stopped bothering me and became kinda funny (intentionally)

So back to the sam//foxy story. Sam and dad go to get sams first car, we then meet Bernie Mac as Bobby B or something like that. I took it as a nod to BumbleBee (BB get it?) Bernie is actually very funny in his small part, I wasn't sure id like it (after seeing in the TV spot) but I actually really liked him. Small part, big laughs.

Sam gets BumbleBee ( and yes there IS a subtle nod to the origin as there is a yellow VW bug next to the camaro) this is a pretty funny scene as BumbleBee does things to ensure Sam takes him home.

The movie overall is actually very funny, in a good way. Some really cheesy laughs that are more than tolerable, its got light hearted flavor throughout, but when its time to fight- they fight- Bay style.

Shia's parents in the film are very well cast and they are really funny, much more so than any other Bay characters of the past in my opinion. It feels like this is the first time where he decided to embrace some elements of cheese and run with it. I am glad he did. It works, mainly because Shia is really really great as a semi-woody allen type kid, I was genuinely impressed with him throughout the movie.

So it doesn't take long for Shia to find out that BB is not just a shitty old car, it's a big *** robot…he also soon finds out that there are bad big *** robots that need something from him. He gets chased by Barricade (the cop car) and BB comes to his rescue and we see the first Robot vs. Robot action….i was a little disappointed by this in the sense that it was shot in a way where you really never got a good look at either of them. After seeing the rest of the film I can see why, they wanted to save it, but when I was watching it it bothered me that I couldn't get a good clean look at the bots.

Also during this time a small "boombox" robot is on Air Force one (unsure how he got there, wouldn't an x-ray see that it wasn't normal? ) anyway, he gets into the belly of the plane and starts hacking for info and then gets in a fight with some secret service agents. Frenzy (I think that's who it is based on internet info, they never really say) is a little bothersome from a viewer perspective. He is very shiny metal and doesn't blend with the background nearly as well as the rest of them---this COULD be one of those "not yet done" things, I hope it is.

It was sometimes hard to tell what exactly wasn't complete CG wise. Sometimes it was super obvious and sometimes there were small hints that it wasn't complete. I'm not sure where this bots stands in that sense.

I'll refrain from describing too much detail with the rest of the film because im not a fan of spoilers. Ill simply make some general observations.

I consider myself a mid-core TF fan. I LOVE transformers and ive seen every episode numerous times (G1), the movie numerous times and have been waiting for this movie for the last 20 years, but I accept that certain things need to happen in order for the movie to be made. Some lure/history/canon needs to be re-written/ignored in order to make a film like this- I accept that.

The robot design change, in my opinion, was the right choice. When you see it you will understand. The boxy designs from the cartoons simply would not have worked, they would have looked stupid and old. OP mouth…..thats a different issue- it sux. Period.

I really wish the decepticons, namely Starscream, would have gotten far more screen time. He doesn't show up till near the end. He TOTTALLY ****s **** up and is THE bad *** of the decepticons, but I needed more-

"I've got a fever, and the only prescriptions is MORE STARSCREAM!!!!!!"

The rest of the decepticons (except megatron) are pretty much just fodder for the autobots to stomp on, which im fine with, that's all they were in the cartoon anyway.

Megatron, even in his "cyberform" is pretty ****in cool. When he eventually gets in on the fight he makes it clear who is boss. He never "scans" anything on earth so he stays in "cyberform" the whole movie….and yes I know it's called "protoform" but that term seems stupid to me.

We do, however, get to see at least a glimpse of the SS/Megs dynamic. "you failed me yet again Starscream" was awesome!" Some of the voices I think were temp still as they were hard to understand. Megatron didn't sound at all like Hugo Weaving to me, but as I said, the audio may have been temp.

Optimus Prime- sword arm- ****in sick! That's all im gonna say about that.

OP says more than a few of the "iconic" lines from the toon- there are many many nods and references to the history of TF, it's clear that there was a lot of thought into adding some "fan only" moments into the film that the general audience wont get, which was great.

I'd say about 25% of the robot stuff was still temp and there was very little music/score in place so some scenes felt a bit slow and hard to keep up with, but I think once the FINAL movie is out in theatres those moments will be fixed.

So to sum this all up: This is a Michael Bay movie. Make no mistake about it. You can see influences from Spielberg and a conscious effort to make this not just a blow em up bang bang movie (although I would have been fine with that). The last 30 minutes is non-stop robot destruction- I honestly couldn't tell you everything that happened because it was just so damn awesome I had a hard time even keeping up- i almost wish I hadn't seen it….because now I have to wait TWO MORE ****ING MONTHS TO SEE IT AGAIN…explosions, destruction, robots flying through the air, shooting missiles and rockets from their arms- absolute insanity on city streets. This is what I wanted to see out of this movie. There are some things that you may shake your head at or roll your eyes during, but when you see the goods, the stuff WE ALL want to see, you let the other stuff slide. Or at least I did.

Just to let you know: A game based on the movie will be released for various platforms (PC included). A trailer for that game is available.

Frank Welker, the voice of Megatron on the original animated series, will play Megatron again in this game (as you know, it seems that Hugo Weaving will be Megatron's voice in Michael Bay's movie).

btw the "review" posted above was already proved to be by plant

plant? you mean fake ?

I don't really care about the reviews when this movie comes out. I've been dying to see this movie since I was a child. Still, I wish Frank Welker got to play Megatron in the movie version because I heard him doing an audio interview recently and he sounded amazingly the same as he did many years ago on the cartoon show. Damn you Michael Bay!

I saw Spidey 3 today and thought that was an average movie like all third installment of any franchise. From now till Transformers comes out. I'll have some what of a low expectation on the other Summer blockbusters.

Getting back to Transformers Trailers...

The next one will be online May 17th, and then released with Shrek the Third on May 18th. Michael Bay had said it will be released with Pirates, but it will, in fact, be out a week prior with Shrek, and also with Pirates and Spidey a week later.

Here's the scoop at CanMag...

Transformers Final Trailer (http://www.canmag.com/nw/7600-transformers-trailer-release)

Yahoo has always a perfect timing.... :angry: Everybody waits... They install a countdown.. and...... nothing. Idiots!

New trailer:

720p: http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?sid=37083758&sdm=web&pt=rd (120MB)
1080p: http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?sid=37083760&sdm=web&pt=rd (181MB)

How can it be? After the download of 45.54 out of 47.97 MB (for the 480p version), I get an 401 error :confused: :angry:

It disconnected probably. And since Yahoo doesnt have resume support .... you have to go again. I DLed The Kingdom trailer 5 times...
Had no problem with neither of these HD (yes, DLed all 3 of´em)

Holy ****, thats what i call a trailer....

Friggin idiots!
It's a great trailer... but how perfect would it have been for Optimus Prime to SAY SOMETHING at 1:40.

Happened to me again but now I am downloading it within Firefox.

I am getting mixed sensations because it is the first time I am watching (almost?) definitive footage... but Starscream, Skorponok and Blackout new scene fragments are very good! It's emotive for me :)

Have you noticed the difference in size between Megatron and Jazz? Apparently, Megatron will be noticeable bigger than Optimus Prime and not like in the original cartoon, where robot sizes before and after transformations were one of its issues.

I am enjoying this more every time :D

Thanks st39.6 :)

I wonder what does "codeblack" mean!
I couldnt not notice it in 0:28, its even over one black frame...does anyone know, what does that mean?

Lafce > no, sorry. No SD this time. Yahoo has only HD or stream (http://movies.yahoo.com/summer-movies/Transformers/1808716430/trailers/31) in flv ...

Anyone notice a 'real' bumblebee car next to the camero in the used cars shop? :)

And I think that 'Codeblack' thing is for a website if I am correct, you need that as access code.

Of course Riggs ;)

Jazz was always the smallest/shortest of the Autobots. But yes, I do enjoy the fact that they are trying to keep 'proportion' to the respective TF's...although the Decepticons are a bit larger. I have no problem with that. I just get worried that my Autobots are outnumbered. :eek:

Fantastic trailer. This will surely get all the fanboys jumping...

Here Blackout makes me to remember another robot from the past...

Some words from Michael Bay (http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1832) (May 17, 2007):

Hey, i want to thank everyone for the kind words on the trailer. I'm so used to seeing robots I kind of got bored with the trailer. I forget you have not seen them. When they put the piece together I kept wanting to show our truly awesome shots - but we didn't. I can without a doubt say we have just teased you on this trailer. We have so many awesome shots that will never be in our ads. I bet this will be one of the rare trailers that does not show you the true money shots of the movie.

I would also like fans opinion on opening on July 3rd instead of the 4th. The studio kind of sort of is thinking about which might mean "no". If you spread the word on the Net - they might listen. The 3rd everyone is off from work, I say "what the ****" play the movie - "give'em giant ****ing robot early"!!!

..."It´s probably Japanese"

:D

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/ItsFromTheJapanese.jpg

Can this be some kind of tribute to the Japanese origin of The Transformers?

The Transformers began with the 1970s Japanese toy lines Microman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microman), Diaclone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaclone), and Diacron [Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_%28fiction%29#Generation_One_.281984-1992.29)].

One question, which brand and model is the car at the beginning of the trailer?

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/GreenCar.jpg

Another question: Do someone know who is the Transformer that appeared on the announcement teaser (http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=transformers)?

Jazz was always the smallest/shortest of the Autobots...

Do you remember Perceptor, RoboDan? ;)

And about Jazz, I believe it is him (in protoform, before obtaining his Earth alternate mode as a Pontiac Solstice) who emerges from that pool in the scene with the girl:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/JazzInProtoform.jpg

I believe the car is a Shelby Cobra, it certainly looks like one.

You are right, it looks a lot like a Shelby Cobra, but I am not sure. I have not find even one image similar to the trailer's car in a quick search on Google, but this can be a customized model or a rare model, I don't know.

By the way, what beautiful cars Shelbys are http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/afirmar.gif

And, by the way too, have you noticed who is always perfect in all trailers and movie stills? Megan Fox ;) I believe I will spend some time looking (and downloading) at that thread (http://www.movie-list.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16550) by j7wild http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/afirmar.gif

I have a question, from a general "transformer noob" like me. :D

But when I was a kid there was a "sect" of evil guys that were all like dinosaurs. What were they called, and are they in it?

Guys... you mean humans, right? If you are meaning that, I don't remember nothing.

By the way, happy to see an old member again between us :)

haha, it's good to be back. I'm having fun with all the "adventure" type moving coming out.

But when I was a kid there was a "sect" of evil guys that were all like dinosaurs. What were they called, and are they in it?


Dinobots! But I'm pretty sure they weren't evil. Just dumb. Here's hoping with Spielberg producing they'll show up in a sequel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=migTP0Lxbiw&mode=related&search=

Does anyone think this trailer will show with the premeir showing of Pirates? That would be AWESOME!

I was talking with Teremei via vB Pager and he clarified me the question. He was asking for the Dinobots (Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinobots)), some Autobots made by Wheeljack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeljack) after his studies on the dinosaurs:

The Dinobots are a group of five Transformers, part of the Autobot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobot) faction. Their exact origins and abilities vary from one version of Transformers to the next, but they are always exceptionally powerful Autobots, able to sustain heavy abuse and wield heavy firepower against their foes. In all media, they are depicted as being fiercely independent and liable to break away from the main group of Autobots when the mood takes them.

- Grimlock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimlock) - Tyrannosaurus rex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosaurus) (Team Leader)
- Slag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slag_%28Transformers%29) - Triceratops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triceratops)
- Sludge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sludge_%28Transformers%29) - Brontosaurus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brontosaurus)

- Swoop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swoop_%28Transformers%29) - Pteranodon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pteranodon)

Due to their unique alternative modes, their memorable personalities and their fighting prowess, they are firm fan favourites in their cartoon, comic book and toy incarnations.

The creation of the Dinobots was almost happenstance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happenstance). One particular day at Autobot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobot) Headquarters, the Autobots detected unusual seismic activity from within the walls of the cave. Ironhide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironhide) investigated the disturbance and found that, while inconsequential, he detected very large forms within a hidden cavern. They turned out to be the fossilized bones of dinosaurs. After performing various studies and researches on Dinosaurs, Wheeljack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeljack) made the suggestion that, because of their brute force and power, dinosaurs working for the Autobots would shake up the Decepticons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decepticon). Ratchet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_%28Transformers%29) agreed, suggesting robotic forms and Optimus Prime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Prime) authorized the project.

Shortly after, the Dinobots were created and unveiled, but during the presentation, the Dinobots went awry, due to their lack of intelligence. They began to ransack Autobot Headquarters, inflicting major damage to Teletraan I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletraan_I). Wheeljack managed to subdue the Dinobots with his shoulder-mounted magnetic inducer. The Dinobots were deactivated and stored in the cavern where they were constructed. Shortly after, when many of the Autobots were in peril, the Dinobots were given cerebral upgrades, increasing their intelligence to where they possessed broken language. The upgrade was sufficient to give them instructions and send them into combat.

The Dinobots performed admirably in combat, saving the Autobots, forcing the Decepticons into retreat, and earning a permanent place in the Autobot ranks. They proved very useful when Megatron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatron) brought Cybertron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybertron) into Earth's orbit through the Decepticon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decepticon) Space Bridge. Dismayed by his losses to the Dinobots, Megatron discovered and briefly exploited weaknesses that turned the Dinobots against the Autobots. To counter this, two new Dinobots were created - Snarl and Swoop. Grimlock reconsidered his decision after being saved by Optimus Prime from an exploding meteorite. The Dinobots were among the very few to have survived the Last Great War and see the Second Golden Age of Cybertron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybertron).

They are often brought in to face the largest threats. They have tangled with Devastator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructicons) numerous times, defeated or stalemated Megatron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatron) and Shockwave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockwave_%28Transformers%29), and even survived a head-on assault against Unicron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicron).

Now I find it very strange that they didn't cast Wheeljack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeljack) on this movie. It will be like Soundwave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundwave) and Shockwave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockwave_%28Transformers%29), for sure: Major incorporations for the next movies.

I love Grimlock....

Me Grimlock kick butt!!

And then after nearly getting killed...

Me Grimlock need new strategy.

Is there a higher def vers of the INT trailer? man that ending was flippin awesome!! Ha haaa!

hehehe I wished Devastator was in the movie...would have been pretty coolies ;) No combination robots in this 1st movie eh? Hope they incorporate it in the sequels! :D

It was said that Devastator would be in the movie. I don't know what happened or what will happen. But it has been said that he will be a normal character and not the result of a combination of other robots.

dont know. my guess is its something important ;) :D
I think the cube that Bumblebee gives to Shia is last piece to make this mega-cube work....

It is actually a reconstruction of the Borg cube. :D

OK, maybe not.

But I have heard some interesting speculations (not recently, but I have heard them) connecting Star Trek to the Transformers. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, after his mind meld with V'Ger, Spock said he saw a planet of "living machines" that repaired Voyager 6 and gave it the means to carry out it's mission. I saw many arguments that the planet he saw was really Cybertron. And since Leonard Nimoy did the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 Transformers movie, maybe there is something to that.....

(Of course, there is a lot more speculation that what he really saw was the Borg homeworld, and that idea was futher pursued in William Shatner's Star Trek novel, "The Return".)

Mixing the two universes will bring timeline crisis, isn't it? Because if in 2007 (year of the movie inside the fiction, or not?) we have been visited by the Transformers, why Spock didn't remember them or compared those living mechanical beings to them?

By the way, I had the book by Leonard Nimoy I am Spock (Hyperion) :)

The Transformers have been related to another fictional universe, at least on the comics: Spiderman.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/jmcc2/Spider-ManvsMegatron.jpg (source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Spider-ManvsMegatron.jpg))

Yeah, Spider-Man had a couple of crossovers with Transformers. G.I. Joe also crossed over with the Transformers at least once.

Here's the Transformer clip from Shia's appearance on Leno

new tv-spot ("friendship"):

http://www.transformersmovie.com/public/video_files/transformers_friendship30_lrg.mov

Either this is a new TV spot, or it's a VERY short trailer, but it features a little more of Bonecrusher and the freeway chase scene.

Original DL link is here: http://downloads.paramount.com/mp/ebucehtdnif/OHD2_Event_30.mov

but it's been offline/online all day, so if that doesn't work, try here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/37409358/OHD2_Event_30.mov.html

We still have not seen Ratchet transforming or in robot mode on any trailer...

I am not sure....

Is "Vibration" also a new tv-spot?

Thanks for the HD link! Oh man, that grunt of anger that Bonecrusher gives while he's transforming just makes the scene perfect! I can't wait for this film!!! I'll be there 8 PM Monday with my Optimus Prime shirt and stupid grin on my face! :D

I still can't believe that it is just a few more days.

A co-worker of mine got a chance to see an early screening of it Thursday. He said that the story/plot was a tad weak, but followed that up by saying that isn't important for a movie like this. Otherwise, he loved the movie as a great summer blockbuster, and he isn't even a Transformers fan.

i watched it last thursday too.. and the plot WAS NOT weak.. it just wasn't the same as the original G1 storyline ( a little similiar) but overall a great plot to start the series off!

michael bay is in my 'good books' now.

Mine as well and it's nice to know speilberg is back on form after munich, good story to set up the supposed transformers trilogy that's forthcoming assuming the first one does well (but I don't see how it can't)
