    Good god what a thrill. That was just amazing! There’s tetrajets! Fucking tetrajets! And there’s a conehead! And he’s green? Any idea on who this is? Same for the other blitzwing redeco. I’d at least guess he’d be thundercracker but I’m not sure on the other one. Holy shit shockwave! Ahhhh! He’s shockwave! With a big dumb hexagon for a head and a piercing yellow eye! I want all these toys! Give them to me! Also Shatter and Dropkick! They’re triple changing! It makes no fuckng sense but they are triple changing!

    Well think of this. It’s only gonna be a short time and we won’t care anyway. It would probably take some time to think about that and should you rather have a clever cybertron bee or a bunch of this erection inducing GEEWUN?
    Now that you mention it yeah. I totally see that. With the head designs and the helicopter mode on Dropkick I see it.

    God Hailee Steinfeld is a cutie.

    Movie looks like a lot of fun, love the triple changers..even if we probably won't get good figures of them as triple changers.

    The G1 fanwank is so damn strong though, like I like the way they look and all, but the continuity weirdness of it all is just..I dunno.

    It's gonna be funny seeing the Geewunners cream themselves over the movie just because it looks more like "real" transformers to them though.

    Im pretty sure the flyer with the red color scheme is Blitzwing right next to shockwave since that is the same markings as his earth mode in the movie. If Starscream is in that shot he is the one to the right of Blitzwing with the purpleish markings

    I think it's safe to say this movie is pretty much stand alone, and is being seen as a potential full reboot jumping point. If I was to predict the future, if this movie doens't make the bucks, it'll be permanently boxed in with the Bay era movies and the next film to come out will be a wholly unambiguous reboot. If it does bring enough of a return, it'll be retroactively made the first film in a new continuity. A lot of the official comments are very "safe" and non committal. I mean they 100% should us it as a reboot and move the TF movies into the post Iron Man era finally but there's no guarantee yet. Personally I'd like to see 2 or 3 of these single character focus movies before doing a big Autobot Army vs Decepticon army, with a film in there with a decepticon protagonist.

    There is nothing i can say that hasn't been said before, I just want to add to the praise that this trailer is getting. I haven't been this excited for a movie since Revenge of the Fallen. The character designs are amazing and I hope this is a Reboot of a whole new continuity, like they did with X-Men.

    ps: As a Bay Bumblebee hater, I think I'm falling for the bot now

    Is that the name we’re giving? Alright. I can dig it.
    Same! Like I never cared for baymblebee but this one is so cute and I love him dearly! Ahh! I want a toy of this! Not the concept art! I want this cute little bugger!

    This trailer has made me believe that this film knows who it’s core audience are; us (at least, in comparison to the last two movies).

    Amazing trailer, and beautiful designs.

    That is exactly what's going on. I think it's a new thing: a prequel set up to be a potential fork in the timeline. Kinda like the plot of Star Trek 2009, but they're not going to acknowledge the old continuity if things do end up changing. This movie still functions as a prequel to the Bayverse, but it can also simultaneously have another timeline fork off of it where everything's different. It's a prequel, a soft reboot, and it's ready to be a hard reboot if it can. I call it a preboot.

    The green seeker has always been Acid Rain

    Of course that can all change...

    Definitely felt like a callback. Especially with Charlie saying "Fight back" and Sam saying "Look, he's not fighting back"

    I really enjoyed the trailer but it does leave me wondering where they go from here.

    If it's not a reboot then there are thorny issues like why would Ravage change his robot mode from two eyes to the weird eye thing in the Bay film? Why did Decepticons make use of color in this movie but the Decepticons in the Bay films seemed to have something against color? Cybertron looks so different between the look here and the Bay look. Are the Decepticons in this movie the only smart manipulative Decpeticons?

    Then doesn't it sort of kill some of the excitement of getting to see fan favorite Decepticons here but almost all of those Decepticons are dead if the movies leap to the current era in the franchise. Kind of seems like Paramount should have had enough faith in this movie to call it a reboot so people could look forward to having more Soundwave, Shockwave, and Ravage in the future.

    Ol' Shockwave, to me, looks like TF: PRIME Shockwave.

    I really love the trailer. :) 

    Oh, and we now see the couch did indeed cave in under Bee's weight, and boy, that's some priceless expression on Bumblebee's face righr there. XD

    Sweet. :)  And I love the humor shown here, like "Do not run!" followed by "She ran."

    And how Bumblebee reacted to the sodacan, and then hid in his altmode in the livingroom. XD
