Yeah, it’s the non-bootlegged Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen trailer. I don’t think there’s any difference I could tell, although the full minute of Transformers-less explosions at the beginning is now more annoying to me, and I don’t think I realized the Beef was holding a ting robot bug (I wish to god the bug would turn into a tiny robot, but we all know Bay doesn’t play by those very obvious rules). Also, that big unicycle Constructicon at the end? Looks a lot sillier in HD. I’m just sayin’.
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
