Er... I thought the villain was

Spoiler

Shockwave

...

Spoiler

We've seen some stand-ins on set, and Shockwave is supposed to be purple, and have one eye. Unless he gets an upgrade?

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

So, what was the point of pretty much the entire teaser except for the final 20 seconds or so? Title has to get changed before release, too.

 

[raphier]

i will miss her

Damn I wanted to see her..in 3D!

 

[vicissitudes]

Oh my fucking God, he retconned the moon landing.:lol :lol :lol

My thoughts exactly.

 

[diehard]

Way to dodge Pink Floyd royalties...

 

[MetalAlien]

Youtube

I hope!

 

[Kjellson]

Is "Dark of the Moon" even grammatically correct?

 

[Chamber]

*yawn*

No Megan, No Buy.

 

[VeryGooster]

"Dark of the Moon" :lol :lol

Pretty much my reaction when I saw the thread title. :lol

 

[TekkenMaster]

Bay has also acknowledged that the story for TF2 was lame; because of the writer's strike.

I'm really looking forward to this, and think it's a really great teaser.

 

[RustyNails]

Is "Dark of the Moon" even grammatically correct?

Like its intended audience even gives a shit.

 

[Tokubetsu]

You're forgetting a very important fact that NONE OF THESE MOVIES MAKE ANY SENSE.

I'll rip out your optics.

 

[Deku]

There is so much fucking wrong with the trailer.

Dark Side of the Moon really?

Apollo 11 Landed on Mara Tanqulitatis, on the bright side of the moon that is tidally locked. Anyone with a telescope would have spotted that ship.

If the implicaiton of the story is the ship is on the other side of the moon that is always facing away, there is no way in hell Apollo 11 could be there and on the dark side.

I bet it's some retarded conspiracy theory where they actually landed on the dark side of the moon.

I hate Michael Bay.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Our visual work is a mess now? ;P

For me, yeah. The camera work probably has a lot to do with it, but when this

fights this

my brain has a hard time distinguishing between everything. Just looks like a mess of gears and shit intertwined. Lots of amazing CG, I get that. But would have much liked a more simpler design, like the old Transformers. Maybe not that simple, but this is too extreme. 3d I'm sure is not going to help at all. Like someone said, maybe the simple designs wouldn't have worked? I have no clue.

Since when did movies have to ALWAYS follow reality?

 

[Funky Papa]

I think I've been blinded by the lensflare.

Michael Bay, you fucking hack.

 

[Alivor]

Unicron on the moon? Are you bullshitting me? Unicron would eat the goddamn moon.

 

[MetalAlien]

The important thing here is the trailer contained blue and orange. Everything is ok.

 

[jett]

I bet this will be the first 3D movie to give me a raging headache since that piece of shit Journey to the Center of the Earth. That is, if I actually end up watching it!

 

[Count Dookkake]

Is "Dark of the Moon" even grammatically correct?

Yes.

 

[VeryGooster]

I bet Tom Hanks and Ron Howard are feeling pretty silly about their "From the Earth to the Moon" lie!

"Nobody summons Megatron!"
"Then it pleases me to be the first."

 

[Lebron]

The opening was just hilarious. Unicron looked badass though

And has anyone ever even seen Cybertron? God, why can't Michael Bay just stop making up all this bullshit.

Seriously expecting sound logic and science in a Bay film?

And everyone in here is going to see it :lol

Of all the things to rage on :lol

The thing was basically made of blue and orange. And lensflare.

 

[enzo_gt]

Only if Michael Bay did the same kind of fucking retarded close up robot fights in this movie too.

Okay I understand if it was real actors you'd try to cheese that shit so no one gets hurt and shit like that, but much of this is fucking CG, they have no fucking excuse.

 

[Count Dookkake]

:lol

Not true.

 

[dankir]

The villain is

Spoiler

Shockwave

fellas.

 

[Takao]

If this movie turns out to have pretty solid acclaim from the critics, will GAF explode, or implode? Because like, it's totally possible.

i am seriously going to lose my shit if this actually happens

like seriously go to the midnight release and unload some massive diarrhea up in that theater

 

[thetrin]

God this looks terrible.

Why are there buzzsaws inside his eyes?

 

[Darkgran]

Looks like an awesome movie if it wasn't a Transformers movie.

 

[TacticalFox88]

God this looks terrible.

Based on what? Acting? Visual effects? What? We'd love to know.

 

[Pinzer]

Lol at the completely unnecessary and pointless cgi at the end leading up to the title

Edit:

Based on what? Acting? Visual effects? What? We'd love to know.

How about the moon premise? That wasn't ridiculous enough for you?

 

[enzo_gt]

God this looks awesome.

fixed.

Also, I hope they ressurect Jetfire (or some shit, insert half-plot here) and then fix him and then put him out into space alongside the Aircraft Carrier autobot and the bigass plane decepticon.

 

[thetrin]

Based on what? Acting? Visual effects? What? We'd love to know.

There are buzzsaws IN HIS EYES.

Also, more of the same hilariously bad robot design we've come to expect from the series.

Also, if they landed on the dark side of the moon...why is there so much light?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

The only way I pay money to watch this movie is if Shia has to take the fight to the Transformers homeworld and operate a Transformer himself, mech style.

 

[Apath]

"Michael Bay"

 

[Slayven]

Edit:

Then what is science fiction for?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Hopefully Cameron inspired Bay toward attempting better choreography with his action sequences.

 

[LevelNth]

The second was all kinds of disappointing, but I loved the first enough to give Transformers one more chance. Plus Bay-level stuff blowing up in 3D has so much awesomeness potential it's awesome.

Too bad there's no Megan Fox though. Are they simply daytime soap opera replacing her character with another actor, or something else?

 

[TacticalFox88]

Wait...are you saying the OLD TF series had good designs?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

What does Michael Bay have against moons, anyways? Even this shit in TF2 was anti-moon:
