Oh and:


Although I can actually imagine Rob as the voice of Snarf.

They are really doing their best to humanize the bots and make them feel like characters and not just special effects.
Exatcly what I didn't like about the clip. That first half was painfully bad. Action looks sweet but man humor in Michael Bay movies NEVER work.

Hows that?

Even with the subpar video quality, you can still see her tattoo on her right shoulder blade covered up with makeup.

Hows that?
Thanks. That worked perfectly.

So who's the old Transformer with a cane? Kup as a Decepticon? The movie version of Shockwave? An evil Alpha Trion?

Good lord - that clip of Bumblebee and Spike might be one of the most painful moments I've ever sat through.

Looks like that once again, Bay has decided to include a bunch of random and useless shit in his movie. And I was so happy they fixed Bumblebee at the end of the first flick so we wouldn't have to experience the "humor" of the radio song gag again. I see my hopes were premature.

The action does look decent (except for the robot with the cane...I mean what the fuck) but looks like I'll be fastfowarding all the "human" crap yet again.

Yeah, why would a robot need a cane? Might as well have a Transformer in a wheelchair.

Every time a studio files a copyright claim against an advertisement for a movie, it inches me a little closer towards not seeing the movie at all.

Yeah. You'd think they'd want people aware of their upcoming movies not the other way around.

Meh. That’s like asking why Alpha Trion had facial hair or why Kup had wrinkles. Someone simply thought it looked cool and/or funny.

Only if it's assigned as Chip Chase's guardian.

I wonder if they'd get in trouble for using Family Guy's Crippletron.

That footage looked pretty good, but I think they should have dropped the Bumblebee speech problem. I'm going to go into this film expecting the same crappy humans, only this time with much more badass robot action. That's enough to sell me.

So what are the odds of the Transformers screenings Wed eve being a test screening for the new movie? Probably slim... I got an invite, although I really like Transformers... I really don't have the time... hmm.

Slim-to-none is my guess. The new trailer is all we'll see I'm assuming.

The new trailer was supposed to appear online this Thursday but a bootleg has appeared for those who just can't wait. I'll wait a day for the HQ version

A bit tough to make out the action, but the action sure does seem bigger!

^Thank God - I heard some people thought this might be a sneak of the full version of Revenge - but with so much effects work/score left to do, I was pretty sure that wasn't going to happen - glad it didn't (since I couldn't make it)
