A Transformers Movie Thread

So theres a new Transformers movie coming out. So far the character designs are a bit controversial - taking a few liberties with the look and design and updating them for the 90's. I dont have a problem with it, but I thought we could draw out some discussion and share some memories and excitement and stuff
First off we have a Decepticon cop car and - controversially - Bumblebee is now a Camaro. I dont really have a problem with that.
Then, a very sleepy transformed Bumblebee
And last but not least, apparently we have Optimus Prime as a truck.
I'd love if it was his original design but hey, he's a truck and he'll transform and as long as he's voiced by Peter Cullen I'll be a happy geek.

I cannot fucking WAIT.
Also, I hope this situation comes up in the movie:

-Get the names right
-Get the sides right
-Have cars transform to robots
-Have said robots fuck some shit up
And then its the greatest thing ever.
- Giant Monkey
- Giant Monkey fights dinosaurs
- Giant bugs eat people
- Giant Monkey fucks up New York
Yet Peter Jackson made it boring!*

Eat a King Kong sized dick
Would this be a dick the size of King Kong, or a dick the size of King Kong's dick?
A question for the ages.
Only because he made it three hours long. If you cut out all the bullshit character development, it is like 90 minutes of awesome monkey action.

No! Not again!
I don't know if I like the fire on Optimus
Therefore, your statement of "No way to see it coming" only applies to people completely ignorant of any news of this movie.
Not meant to be an insult, just saying that you obviously didn't know all you could about the movie.
I think he meant that the teaser was overtly Transformers until the logo came up at the end.

Edit: That is so shit hot I can't even stand it.
Michael Bay don't you fuck this up for me. Don't you fucking do it.
The relentless, power-hungry tyrants...have a guy who turns into a symbol of law and order.
What does that say about the film's potential philosophies?
Also, in regards to the movie, that trailer threw me for a loop. Good work from the people behind it.
The concept of this movie is far too silly to be an actual, live-action movie.
Please, not in the face!
No, I tend to agree with you. I still find the concept of a live-action movie based on this franchise to be completely idiotic.
:shock:
You mean the really dull sounding "Pung" and "Clunk" sounds? Yes. Also, it is mandatory that it has Cullen, Welker and the proper transforming sound. None of this Armada transforming sound crap.[/i]

They should get Stan Bush back.
There were 4 possibilities for this film:
Use the original designs, original everything, but make it live action, and make it a decently written movie.
Use the original designs, original everything, but make it live action, and make it a really badly written movie.
Use new designs, updated transformers and the like, and make it a decently written movie.
Use new designs, updated transformers and the like, and make it a really badly written movie.
The first 3 would literally be fine for me. The last one would ruin 2007.
But the best scene would be:
"Megatron must be stopped... no matter the cost..."
*cue cheesy 80's rock ballad "you've got the touch"*
And Optimus then proceeds to kick the ass of the decepticon invading force by himself and in pure style. I will ALWAYS remember that scene, and if Michael Bay can give us a scene as awesome as that I would weep tears of joy like a little girl.
In fact, this thread DEMANDS something to illustrate the point:
SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE THE ANIMATED MOVIE!

If they don't keep the sound of Optimus' blaster, I am going to seriously hurt their sound guy.

Unicron's transformation
See, in that sentence there's two things that argue in favor of this movie sucking a lot:
1) Michael Bay.
2) Staying true to the spirit of the cartoons.
The cartoons were terrible. The only reason I was a Transformers fan was because of the awesome comics. The one and only good thing the cartoons had going for them was Soundwave's voice.
They've already made bumblebee NOT a bug. I doubt they will do things like keep the exact same sounds for Optimus's blaster, and tiny little things like that. Its a live action movie, and there are lots of things they wont do from th cartoon. Be warned.
But, it's going to take lots and lots of effort and luck and talking to the fans to make it work well. I have some high hopes for this movie either way, though.

Oh I have little doubt that the movie probably will suck in the end. That won't stop my trip down nostalgia lane and some of the pointless optimism it breeds. 8)
That scene where Optimus owns the Decepticons all alone is simply amazing. They just don't make cartoons like that anymore
Heartbreaking
You're a brave man. No matter what happens, we'll be here for you.

More pictures, and most likely the source of the ones the OP has. Most noticeably, there's an older Camaro, the same yellow and black as the new Camaro, being chased by the cop car. Then there's the new Camaro, which makes me wonder if we're going to see some kind of 'Bumblebee gets destroyed/Bumblebee gets a new body' scene.
Also, http://kino-express.ru/pics/tf/transformers_onset_7.jpg, a larger version of the cop car with "To Punish and Enslave" visible. Linked because it's huge. And, http://kino-express.ru/pics/tf/transformers_onset_16.jpg. The rumors are that Megatron is going to be a tank, so, Megatron?
