I guess this means that Optimus Prime and explosions will be in the next movie. Didn't see that coming.
Cool, I guess. I suppose teaser posters aren't supposed to reveal much anyways. Also, Thundercats comes out next year?! Wow I had no idea. EDIT: Oh its just a series.
In other news, Optimus was suspended 50 days by the International Federation of Robots for using Performance Enhancing Drugs. Optimus has been linked to Barry Bonds and Tiger Woods.
Prime's different alright.. Like.. "buffer" more "defined" like a body builder manipulates their body for different looks. They did say Bee was going to look "older and more "buffed up"" I suppose that Prime may very well get a similar design change. Wonder how this will make the new toys look though..
The Bumblebee statue does look quite different, but I thought it was just a cheap mock-up because the real thing was too expensive to bring in. Of course, too late to say for certain, so no disrepect! He does look a bit bulkier, and actually a lot blockier than your normal Bayformer. :/ I may have to take another look at the image.
People need to stop saying he looks different, its the same damb Prime with flames around him, and bumblebee is a mock up that was shown months ago. Stop seeing things that are not there.
In the top left side of the poster, it looks like something like Unicron to me. he could be the main villian in this one, and maybe optimus might get a trailor for once.
We can put it to rest, i saw an image of the same model last year at some other expo with the ROTF BB car next to him. I guess that proves it's just a cheap version of the statue.

Bay said a while back although Unicron is unlikely (Because of size) He might introduce the minicons for TF3.
Finally found a better look at the poster!!! Thanks to Jim Hill's photography! Jim Hill : Hollywood hypes what it hopes will be its 2011 & 2012 hits at the Licensing International Expo
It's a nice poster but it's not much of a tease to just show the same thing we've seen before, it should at least hint at something new or unexpected to get people talking.
It's better than just a bland autobot/decepticon logo! Keep in mind this isn't really the poster we'll see in theaters, it's only for the licensing show to get the word out to possible investors.
