HAHA...that 2CV commercial was great. I was just about to ask, why bother making a transformer from a 2cv, then when it fell apart at the end, it was just great

I don't trust Michael Bay to make the movie worthwhile. The cast doesn't even list Starscream.

that trailer took over my screen! Lol, frightened me for a sec, but im not really into transformers

Well, every movie these days has to have a preview that makes it look like some slasher! I was hoping for a "cool" trailer with an awesome Transformers music remix or something, not a "OMG OMG OMG" trailer with horror film cues. Guess we'll find out how cool it is in theatres.

Don't movie makers get it yet? SLASHERS SUCK these days. They pull little revenue, because people have already seen something like it before and before and before and before just with a different name. If they stop making everything a horror film there would be good movies! In the case of Transformers, it's supposed to be a "cool" movie, not a "horror" movie.

Scary Movie!

Maybe Starscream isn't in it because he was killed by Galvatron. I'd expect that to be the case if this film is tied into the original film and not the crappy recent TV versions.

Optimus Prime was killed in the original movie, and Galvatron doesn't exist yet in this movie (he's still Megatron). So, yeah, Starscream should be in this movie. He was one of the most popular transformers.

Well I expected someone would mention Prime, but at the end of the first film the narrator says that "the greatest Autobot of all time, Optimus Prime, will return" (or words to that effect). I didn't know Megatron was in it, but I guess you could easily explain Galvatron returning to his Megatron guise somehow.

I'm not sure what the back-story is, or whether it has anything to do with the original movie or not but either way, I agree Starscream should be in it.

i don't think it has anything to do with the first movie. the trailer almost makes it seem as if it is a movie version of what would have been a pilot episode.

but won't know for sure until it comes out.

Here's another trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/ ... s/transformers_large.html

This one seems to confirm that the movie has little resemblance to the original storyline. IMO the movie should begin with the war on Cybertron, followed by the the Transformers spending millions of years "sleeping" beneath the earth and then being awakened by an earth quake.

They should've used the Phobos 2 mars mission for that, because that actually was a mysterious loss of an otherwise perfectly good craft. It shot pictures that were released, and those pictures contained an unidentified object. It's final video transmission was also released to the general public, minus the final few frames (was the object in it again?). Everything about that failed mission is one big mystery, and the reaction to it was also quite strange (world leaders suddenly talking about extra terrestrial threats in a 'what if...' kind of way and stuff).
