Bring it on! :D

It may be hard to notice, but one of the robots actually performs a goatse during the fight.

You forgot one:

* Megan Fox running in a tank top

Does Bumblebee vomit?

Goddammit, I don't want to give him my money, but I'm going to end up doing it anyway. We always knew who was fighting and who was winning in the old cartoons!

So if Resolute is the exact opposite of having your childhood raped...does this clip undo that, then go do the same thing to your Mom?

What? Robot cars can't cry windshield cleaning fluid?

That footage is awesome, can't wait for this movie.

I hate the way Bay is handling this franchise. The design of the Transformers is all wrong; They're made up of a bunch of sharp-edged shards of metal instead of being the solid hunks of machinery we're used to. He's forcing us to experience the story via an annoying human proxy and his cheesecake sidekick. He's completely crapping on the original ideas and plotlines in order to tell a typical Michael Bay BOOM CRASH KAPOOOOOM! story.

He's just a fucking terrible filmmaker.

Not only running in a tank top, but running in a tanktop in slow-mo from a fire.

Also OP needs to get his ass kicked, just because thats how he rolls. That and he dies a lot. So maybe that will be worked in. OP will die and then well come back as a reincarnated baby robot at the end of the movie.

It's so bad... so WHY CAN'T I LOOK AWAY. AUGH.

Did someone beat the bejeezus out of Bumblebee during the beginning of this new film, because I could've sworn 'Bee' could finally speak without sounding like a broken karaoke machine by the end of the first film...

I agree with Arsenal . . .

Optimus doesn't have a good track record in any TF continuity. So if he gets destroyed in a Bay-verse film, let's just hope its a noble death and not something contrived like death after defeat in a video game!

i duno why so many people want the old boxy looking robots with human looking faces. yea i loved the cartoon but if thats wat it looked liked in todays movies, it would like it was meant for kids. the robots would look like freakin power ranger zords n shit. and dont get me wrong, i loved power rangers when i was younger as well, but i'm grown now and i wana see some bad ass lookin robots beatin the shit outta each other. the not so great storyline in the first movie, ok i giv u guys that. but i was too amazed by how cool the robots look and the incredible action scenes to even notice.

Gah! I'm torn by hatred for Bay that makes me not want to watch this movie and by my need to see Megan Fox being hot as hell.
Also I don't know what the Beef's problem is. Who wants to be normal when your car is fuckin' Transformer?! Lest we forget a Transformer that can scan another car and be any car you want. Take "Bee" to a flippin' Ferrari lot or something.
And it's OK if Optimus dies (not simply because he has never survived a continuity) but because he's not really the leader of the Autobots. If he was he'd have the Matrix of Leadership and would at least put up a decent fight before dying.

I'd like to add that I understand for today's generation and for the movie you'd want to upgrade the Transformers' look but come on! You're telling me there's no middle ground between the "boxy" humanoid looking robots and the scrap metal pieces of shit we see before us?? At least make an attempt to make them recognizable to our childhood.
Maybe this is the middle ground and their original ideas were much worse. I can almost deal with that. ALMOST.

Man, that robot with the cane looks so much worse than I was thinking it was going to look.

I realize that the robots should not look exactly like they did in the cartoons, but in looking at these scenes I am having a really hard time telling good guys from bad.

And Starscream looked like crap in the first movie. Using an F-22 was brilliant, but his robotic form looked like shit.

Once upon a time, I never thought I would actually dread a series of live action Transformers movies, but Hollywood has managed to surprise me with its horrible-ness yet again.

Yes, the only think that looks good to me is Miss Fox. If the movie was two hours of her running around in front of a green screen, I'd be game.

I can't be bothered to be constructively critical about this latest footage as it's all been said before. The same problems the first film had are still here. So basically, this looks like complete shit. And Megan "Toe-thumbs" Fox isn't enough to overcome that by a long shot.

There is no "need to understand", no "need to adapt for 'modern audiences' " (by which they mean a new slew of kids to whom they can sell this)-

If they were going after the older-fans of Transformers (who now have income of their own!), they should've used the boxy-look. Would that look Power-Ranger-Zordy? No- because it would be CG-Animated- there wouldn't be a reason to make them look like a Human in a Foam-Suit. I think they would have had to make more of an effort to make animated robots that awkward-moved like humans in foam-suits.

If they're going after new kids, then who cares about the licensed-property? They could've made a "super-complicated-ugly-robot hour and half movie". Or! If they went with the boxy-ish look, would the kids have cared? No (which is why that Tansformers Animated series doesn't looked like the gray-black shitfest above).

Sometimes stupid shitty stuff is just stupid shitty stuff.

What the hell, now I can't view YouTube videos here?

Try this one:

"Try this one:

Well that worked for about 5 seconds. YouTube keeps taking them offline.

Yeah, new big box office clips tend to get deleted quickly from YouTube.

I agree that the Transformers in the these movies could have looked much more like their G1 couterparts (or traditional Transformers at all) and the film still would have been just as successful. It's the scope and the basic premise that sells these movies to the general populace. They're popular in spite of the craptastic robot designs.

What is this one? It's shorter, and I'd never seen it before.

"He's forcing us to experience the story via an annoying human proxy and his cheesecake sidekick."

Face it, chumpstain, humans've been part of the franchise since your precious G1, and there were many more of them running around.

Try this one now:

Hurry!

Also, where's the autobot urination? This movie won't be awesome without autobot urination.

Except in G1, Spike was not the main character and he definitely didn't waste the first half of an episode trying to get laid on Bumblebee's back-seat.

Instead, a well designed Optimus Prime with no flames and no mouth would be busy trying to thwart Megatron's plans for galactic domination... rather than treading on garden water features and saying "My bad" while Spike is convincing Sparkplug he's not masturbating in his room.

Do you see where the Bay-fail comes in now?

That sounds all shades of awesome to me... bring it.

blah blah blahbity blah whine whine cry.

well first, it looks like bay didn't kindly make this available on the internet since paramount keeps yanking it every time it comes up again.

second, if transformers fans DON'T want to see megan fox undressing, then i thank GOD IN HEAVEN i don't consider myself a big transformers fan.

and third, really what's the big problem with a robot having a cane? robots can't get old and deteriorate? shit, i'm 25 and i'm in good condition, but i'm already on my third car and i've only been driving for about a decade. machines get old, it figures that at some point you wouldn't be able to repair them and they just wouldn't work as well as they once did.

i hope the GI joe movie makes you whiny transfans wake up and realize what a raped franchise TRULY looks like.

Monkey Boy, as much as I hate the Transformers film universe, I have to agree that Cobra Commander's costume is just unforgivable. And what's even worse is that it seems the creator of the G.I. Joe movie came so close to doing it right, than stuck up their middle fingers. Bay at least got it wrong from the outset.

@monkey boy

Unless your cars ended with a crane, your statement fails completely. They are freaking mechanical beings, they don't need cranes. They don't suffer from osteoporosis, ffs. They don't have problems that they can't fix (that's right "fix") either by banging a huge hammer or simply completely replacing by, i don't know, a new part. It's an awful shot of bay trying to be funny (a old bot with a crane hahaha) which fails and only gets people more wtf? than before. Does it make sense? No, whatsoever. Not even in the G1 line or in this bay line.

And like the first installment of this shit-fest, we get "dawnson's creek" all over again mixed with with scenes of metal things colliding without the viewer knowing what real is going on, not forgetting with the "yahoo-bay-explosion" and expected viral promotion (I'd sure who like to know how many times will Shia say E-Bay this time).

I'm not advocating a total follow-up of the g1. I expected changes but was this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZUEmfstk4g

...too hard to do?

I don't know; as long as I don't attempt to associate the characters with their supposed G1 origin, I was able to really enjoy the first movie. I'm looking forward to this one. Jetfire tickled my funny bone in that clip. "Itchy, wretched rust in my arse!" indeed. =D

Though, gotta admit... Bay's preoccupation with robotic bodily fluids is seriously disturbing. It's irritating for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it encourages really nasty fanfiction.

Also, not sure if this is okay to post (or if it's the same one), but there's a decently high quality version from a torrent at:

Death: I always thought that this, too, would've made for some fairly cool transformations, and still remain pretty true to the source.

WTF? Why are these clips being taken down?

They're frakin' advertisements! You normally have to pay people to watch them!

zerocorpse is right; the sharp-edge-shards-of-metal look isn't appealing. i don't know ass end up of these guys when they're in motion. on the other hand, hopoff718 is also right; if they were box-like as they were in the 80's cartoons, god bless 'em, they would look like power ranger bots. there's a compromise there somewhere... do we know micheal bay is even the one designing these guys? the first news and images i ever get of these guys is through toy industries?
i'm going to go see it, though. i might wait 2-3 weeks, so that most of the ticket money goes to the local theater instead of hollywood.

p.s. aak7268, what's the opposite of having one's childhood raped? is that popping one's cherry for the second time? i don't know.

cheers.

Nice to see comments from some not so deluded by dreams of a live action Transformer movie to call the shit Bay is cramming down out throats for what it is; shit! All Ive ever dreamed of was a live action Transformer movie. Oh I understood fully that their forms would be upgraded and brought up to times but W T F?? Instead of forms we could at least recognize, we get piles of animated welded silverware. And that Bee thing looks disgusting...good lord we won't even go there with Munkyboy. And Im sure most of you know who Im talking about. That jets root mode alone is proof positive that Bay knew nothing about the characters themselves. And my god, Orci and Kurtzman are proud of the script they wrote for the fist movie? There were plot holes big enough to drive an aircraft carrier through sideways in. And this second ladle of shit looks no better. Sadly all the fan BOYS are going so gaga over the BOOM BAM BLANG of it and have bullied the real fans so far out of it, they think the are the only true fans because they like this bayformershit... they think the are like 90+% of how the fandom feels about this crud. How pitiful...I can thank Michael-I-have-no-idea-lets-blow-it-up for making me walk away from something I loved for 27 years.....and screw Hasbro for backing his pathetic excuse for what he thinks are 'transformers'.

Alright seems like most of you guys have probably bitched about every remake and comic book movie that has come out in the last decade. As if you guys have anything to complain about. I missed the originals being on tv by a few years but thanks to the almighty internet I have watch every episode you guys hail as the "way it was back in the day" and I have to say there is little wrong with the movies. So you think the plot sucked. Okay well the hot potato game with the matrix in the old movie was retarded. At least Optimus Made it through the first scene in this movie. Also If your eyesight is so bad that you can't tell the robots apart maybe you should spend less time trolling and more time filling out AARP paperwork. As for the new look to the robots, your right flexing metal faces and absurdly boxy robots made from make believe cars would be much better. Better yet lets defy conservation of mass and have megatron transform into a gun again. Oh and if you hat th explosions so much imagine my dismay at finding my childhood heroes running around in a animated music video in the old movie. At least i never thought to myself "hmm I wonder what would happen if I play the dark side of the moon" Why don't you guys relax and enjoy this homage with your kids. At least you aren't watching the "dukes of hazzard" too having knoxville embarass your generation all over again
