I believe that a teaser trailer shouldn't be about the characters, special motives and huge plot spoilers. I think the main thing a teaser trailer has to do is create hype. Make people think they have learnt a lot, when they actually haven't. Make them think, guess, wonder. Show them a shadow, but just a shadow, no more.

So this is how my teaser trailer would go:
It begins with a hot and sunny day in July, when two men go to work. They talk for a few seconds about the day, as they enter a mine they work in.
*cut*
Three small cons make their way to amazing depths in the mine and enter a mysterious looking room.
*cut*
We see Megatron's split head and the rest of his body lying in a sea of Decepticon parts.
*cut*
The screen goes black and the Transformers sound mixers get to show off:
We hear scribblings, scratching, small steps, and also the cons talking:
-Come on, can't you be quicker, my board is gonna get fried!
-No, i can't! We need to be careful! He said we need every part we can find.
-What's the deal with this thing anyway? He can't do it. Nobody can. The damage is irreversible.
-Even if he can't, we must get him what he wants. You know what happens if you go against him.
*cut*
The cons fly away with the parts as we see a huge shadow going over the mine and its surroundings.
Optimus Prime talking in the background:
We thought they were done
*more shadowed surroundings*
But they are back.
*BANG*
I am Optimus Prime, and i send this message, because we need all the help we could find.
Finally, no music, no effects, no nothing, 7.1.14

 

this is my idea

first we get a birds-eye view of a completely destroyed city. (BAYSPLOSIONS).
then we get a shot of sideswipe shooting some decepticons (BAYSPLOSIONS)while taking cover then he gets shot (BAYSPLOSIONS) and falls to the ground.
ratchet comes to help him and then he orders bumblebee to cover him while he helps sideswipe.
Then we get a shot of the wreckers in some hand to hand combat (BAYSPLOSIONS) with some decepticons then we see a decepticon kill (BAYSPLOSIONS) topspin by knocking him down and shooting him (BAYSPLOSIONS).
Then we hear a really loud engine sound. this grabs all the autobots attention.then we see a mothership (like the ones from DOTM) transform into a robot(Trypticon) .
then when he lands on the ground (BAYSPLOSIONS) he causes several explosions (BAYSPLOSIONS BAYSPLOSIONS BAYSPLOSIONS)which leave smoke behind then we see a decepticon as he is rising from the ground but we cant see who he is because of the smoke.
then we hear optimus say: One shall rise
and then a decepticon who sounds alot like shockwave says: one shall fall
then we get a shot of optimus falling

 

(Voice over by Liam Neeson)

"My brothers, have fallen so easily by your hands."

Quick shots of the deaths of Shockwave, The Fallen, Megatron (DOTM) and Sentinel.

"Their bloodied corpses fill the Earth you treasure so dearly."

Shot of Chicago, Decepticon corpses all over the place.

"They had their successes, that is certain."

Quick montage of the deaths of Jazz, Optimus and Ironhide.

"But now, absolute success is certain. Be ready Optimus Prime."

Shot of Optimus after Ironhide's death in the hangar.

"You have met your match."

Only new shot of the trailer. Shot of a Decepticon standing on top of the Empire State Building. The Decepticon is a black and teal version of Optimus with some differences.

6-24-2014

Laughter.

 

Trans4mers:

Bay has a heart attack whilst on pre-production duties... dies.
Trailer shows Bay's real life death.
Audiences laugh.
And now... we get a good director.
Or do we???

Find out xmas 2014!

 

Seriously? There's a difference between not liking his movies and joking about his death. And you just crossed the line into "asshole."

 

Trailer starts with a pan over a forest-y area during sunset. We hear Optimus as the pan starts, and the camera goes to a shot of him speaking as he finishes his line

"Even though our history was lost with the AllSpark, legends have a way of outlasting lifetimes."

We see General Morshower in a military control area saying:

"The Alien bodies are to be disposed of, by way of cremation."

We see a shot of the sun immediately following this. Afterwards we see a ship, Autobot-esque in design, coming in on the sun with some dead Decepticon bodies being pulled behind it.

Then we see the crew notice problems with the ship, hearing noises. Suddenly they are attacked by unseen assailants, and are killed.

We hear General Morshower attempt to contact the ship:

"Axalon 115 respond. Axalon 115 do you read me. Please respond."

We have a close up on Ratchet

"I fear his return is only a matter of time"

We see soldiers at night quietly moving through the forest from before. They hear movement, stop and look around, and are attacked by Ratbat and the attackers from before, who are Sweeps

We see more fight scenes thrown together in a montage. The last scene in it has the camera pan out as Optimus finishes transforming at a NEST base with the rest of the Autobots, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Mirage, and two new bots Hound and Trailbreaker, already transformed and standing to Optimus' side

The screen goes black. Then we see an area of space with debris floating around it. The screen alternates between black and that scene as it gets closer to a scarred, jagged, demonic-looking metallic planet (Unicron).

The last thing we hear is Unicron saying:

"Now I posess the instruments, to create my army...."

(Transformers: Endgame)

 

This idea is so good as Gingerchris´s

 

NEXT

 

I have an idea that animalformers haters will not like.

*Camera pans down from the sky to show a flatland*
Large herbivores are browsing on ferns.
*Camera zooms in on one, showing it to be a Tricerotops*
A blue light suddenly appears around one of them, making it curious.
It slowly walks towards the source of the light only to hear the cries of its herdmates.
*Camera quickly moves towards the edge of a forest behind the Triceroptops*
A Tyrannosaurus burst from the forest and runs straight towards the Triceroptops. A chase insues. Eventually the Tyrannosaurus catches up to the Triceroptops and lunges to take a bite. Suddenly, a metalic mass slams into the Tyrannosaurus and crashes down, killing the dinosaur and allowing the Tricerotops to escape. The figure weakly gets up and looks towards tha direction it was thrown from.
*Camera zooms in to show two glowing red eyes*
The figure looks down at the Tyrannosaurus and surrounds it with a blue light. It stands up as it is joined by two other robots. The first figure points towards the eyes and the other two figures transform into a Tricerotops and a Quetzocuadolus(Pteranodons didn't exist in the same ecosystem as Rexes and Trikes.) and charge. The first figure then transforms into a Tyrannosaurus and roars.
*Fade to black*
Then the title shifts to reveal Transformers: End of the Peace* (Idk about the title)

 

Scene: typical rush-hour freeway traffic. Horns are blaring as impatient drivers get nowhere.

"We thought they had gone from our world"

Zoom into the bonnet of a car, which bears the Decepticon sigil.

"We were wrong"

We see the first half second of the car transforming before the screen cuts to black. The release date appears.

 

Don't lump me in with someone wanting a person's real life death.
My trailer idea may have been silly and mostly a joke but I don't go as far as something distasteful like that.
