Yep, i am making a thread just to know which were your favourites tf trailers and what you think back when you saw them. ^^ Lets start with..oh, i will leave some samples, i aint gonna post all because i think they will just paste in the page and not stay as a direct link :S Ok, lets start with TF1: YouTube - Transformers‏ -The famous Mars teaser for the first movie. ^^ I remember running like a maniac to a cyber cafe trying to caught this one online the day it was released and while seeing it i got chills all over my body. XD I mean, it WAS the annoucement for a Live action movie for "The Transformers"! I couldnt believe it! ^^ I remember back then everyone was trying to figure out who was the bot in the trailer and it end up being a generic robot. But later in the comics we found out it was Starscream..or was it Barricade? I need to read the old prequel comics. Then we had the first trailer showing actual footage from the movie. We get to see a glimpse of the opening scene with Blackout's attack and some nice shots of the bots. And the final trailer for the first movie: YouTube - 2nd Official Transformers Live Action Movie Trailer‏ -I remember seeing this in the theater and it was one of the best times i had! XD In cinema sense talking. I think that makes the trailer one of the best so far is the fact that has the Tf song in it. Its a shame that so far we didnt have the original tf song in the movies but ..oh well. :S I remember also trying to catch this one the day it was release. It was INSANE!!! But it was totally worth it! Arrival of the bots, bots transforming, bot attacking, kickass fight scenes and score! Now moving to Revenge Of the Fallen: Ah, so many promises this movie had. ^^ ROTF is not entirely bad but i admit its not my fav in the franchise. Its right after LioConvoy's Crisis. But the first trailer was really good. Kinda give a glimpse of what to expect: Cons hitting hard and character passing a really bad time. ^^ YouTube - Trailer #2 - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (HD)‏ -Cant remember if there are more trailers for ROTF. :S I do know there were several spots. Bee dancing to start was totally awesome! XD Megatron's resurrection, Forest Fight and Fallen!! Even we get to see a glimpse of Devastator. As just in the teaser, we had the vibe the good guys were having a bad time. ^^ I honestly cant remember making a big fuzz about these, cant remember why. XD Looking back..i..hm..i didnt get as much excited as for the first movie trailers. ^^' And ending with Dark Of The Moon: -The astronauts trailer is ...the door to something great. ^^ I mean it, they find the ark for Primus' sake and SENTINEL PRIME! It was fun how each of us had a different guess of who the bot was at first. I am ashamed to say that i thought it was Unicron. He did look like him, it was orange, he kinda had horns and then the titles transformed i thought i see a unicron-like-mouth from his planet mode. ^^' But yeh, i really like this one. YouTube - Transformers DOTM Theatrical Trailer (3D Edit)‏ Cant stop watching it. ^^ If we get a new one with more action then my mind wont be able to take it. XD Ark crashing on the moon, Decepticons waking up and invading Earth, DEcepticon ships, Autobots leaving Earth, Driller trashing everything, Shockwave looking bad ass, Jet Convoy in his Prime!! Cuak! XD I gotta say that this is my favourite trailer right after the final trailer of Tf1. But for very close. Since i am here: is there a downloadable version somewhere? I so wanna play this one over and over in my pc or luckily plug it to my tv to watch it there. I miss it when it was aired in local tv news. T.T Just like the first tf trailers, i did everything to caught it online the day it was released. I cant believe we are one month away from DOTM!!!
I like more DOTM's final trailer. Actually, DOTM'S final trailer, ROTF'S trailer, TF1's trailer, they're all on pair, but DOTM's wins me over with that scene of the 'Cons waking up in the moon and coming to Earth, just beautifully wicked, the slow instrumental song song gives a "The Bad Guys are here, and they'll wreck a havoc upon thee"-feel. I mean, there are 'Cons on the moon, but instead of a rocking song to give that "WE'RE SCREWED!" feeling, it just comes a slow, vaguely techno instrumental stuff, that gives almost the impression that the 'Cons are saying "It's our Planet now." ina slowly creepy tone when they appear on-screen. But I might be exaggerating, I always do.
The DOTM trailer is the best. It's got plenty of action, but barely hints at the plot, really making you want to go see it. That music is fantastic, as well.
I have 2 different responses. the DOTM trailer is like they got an awesome tree and extracted the sap and that was the result. Nothing can beat it. Joint first is the TF1 trailer. I'm not judging it based on action because it's quite boring but I still get tingles and I can still remember going "omg, omg, omg they DID it! There's going to be a TF movie!" And the trailer just got me so hyped. So they're both equally awesome.
Yup. YouTube - Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen - Teaser Trailer (HD)‏ And the award to the best trailer goes to Transformers 1 teaser; YouTube - New Transformers Teaser Trailer (20-12-06)‏
The best trailer easily goes to the first movie teaser trailer from Yahoo! Movies. It was something nobody has seen before, and was a total trend setter. How many trailers came out afterward that had practically the same type of editing and sounds as the first TF trailer. The new DOTM trailer felt like the Tron and Inception trailer. I guess bombastic trailers are the hot thing right now.
Every time a trailer comes on, I grin and think about the night they shot the Decepticon invasion night scene along the Chicago River. For those who didn't see my video, here's a link to my ground level point of view. (NOTE: PLEASE TRY TO IGNORE ANNOYING WOMEN IN VIDEO) http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a...=view¤t=0727T3ChicagoBldgExplosions.mp4
To be honest, I can't choose. It's a solid tie between the 2007 movie theatrical trailer, the ROTF super bowl spot and the DOTM 3D trailer.
This is really hard cause I really like them all. All of the first, second and third movies trailers. Right now I might be more inclined to say DOTM's because of the whole invasion and bad-guys F-ing everything up vibe, and the fact that it's the new film coming out, but still.
