    That's really crappy the least they should have done is send out a press release that there wasn't going to be a preview. If they want to make it up to the fan base they should put it online, that would help ease some of the frustration.

    I agree, I mean at least they apologized for cybertron Monday. You'd think they would learn from their mistakes, and give us a heads up this time.

    I was suspicious of that preview thing ever since it was announced. Seemed like another "Cybertron Monday" or "Trailer Tuesday".

    I was on the Hub's facebook and on the post to page, it's filled with people asking why we didn't get the preview :D

    Bunch of idiots. If all you ever knew was Hasbro, you'd think running anything simple is the hardest thing ever to do. You'd think no promise was ever kept.

    Amazing they can run a business. Maybe they can't?

    Does the Hub have the rights to show those?

    Edit: Very disappointing no preview was shown.

    I watched the movie on the Hub today, but I was wondering what version of the movie this was.

    There was an extra narration by Victor Caroli before the "it is 2005" speech and also at the end about optimus returning before the end credits began.

    I have the 2006 US Sony DVD, and the old Rhino DVd and I never heard this before.

    Thanks

    Not sure if it's true or not, but I've heard somewhere that parents were mad that Spike cursed, and that Optimus Prime died. So they had to edit the curse word out, it's probably the version they showed.

    It sucks that they ended up not showing the preview, but oh well. That'll leave more for them to reveal at SDCC. Hopefully alongside something from the show's toyline.

    Probably not the worst thing Hasbro will ever do, but still a pretty shitty thing to do.

    Especially given it was a big draw to get people to tune in only to take it away with no explanation as to why, you can't fault people for feeling a bit betrayed, or at the very least jerked around.

    It's the UK version, which, oddly enough, is not even the one on my Metrodome Blu Ray, which is PAL. I own four versions of the movie, and I don't think that's on any of them. (Rhino, 20th, Metrodome, and the Chinese tin box set. It might be on that, but I've never watched that one. I doubt it.)

    Hmm... Odd they would show that version, but I guess its the only one that would be best rated for kids in this day and age. It was actually released by Rhino on VHS (After the original FHE & Avid VHS versions) but prior to being released on DVD

    I knew something smelled fishy when that latest Transfourth of July commercial lacked the teaser of the new RID preview.
