    I didn't like how they made the CGI, but looks cool to me :)

    Nice to see Optimus becoming a General Audience Cultural Icon, nice for Mr. Cullen too.

    But the CGI was a bit odd looking for some reason.

    Pretty cool way they market it for kids and schools.

    Kinda reminds me of those "Knowing is half the battle" advertisements back for G1.

    Cool nod by NASA. Also since this is just a quick TV spot, im okay with the render for Prime.

    the cgi was odd because it was done at a much lower than movie res, and they only used one static pose that looked as if it was was to big to fit in the room he was in. He also looks more super imposed on and less in same shot

    of course that more then likely had a budget of nothing after paying for cullin so I think that they did a pretty damn good job

    Man, that's some sub-par animation of Prime. It's like can only move his torso side to side.

    But, bonus points for Peter Cullen doing it. :)
