VIDEO: Transformers final theatrical trailer debuts
The final theatrical trailer for Michael Bay's Transformers hit the web today. It's lean on plot, and we don't care, because the action sequences are enough to make your eyes melt. We have Bumblebee dishing it out (and taking it on the chin, it appears). There's Starscream performing trick midair transformation acrobatics. And as you see above, there's Optimus Prime getting ready to go kung-fu all over your candy asses. And that's not even the half of it. After all, there's Megan Fox, too.
Best line: "It's probably Japanese."
47 days, kids...
The trailer's embedded after the jump.

Holy SH!T. That was... no words can describe how amazing that was. I do not care if the acting is terrible or the story or the robot lips all I know is this movie is going to be great!

Doesn't that speak volumes.
Get moving GM, Ford, and Chrysler.

That's the first time I heard the classic 'transform' sound in the movie :o. Whether it's going to have a decent plot, I dont know, but it is going to be spectacular. I'm just really eager to see it, that's my childhood on the screen there.

This trailer really caught my eye too. Not quite the kids movie I thought it would be. Much more Terminator-3 than saturday morning cartoons. Count me in to see it!
"It's probably Japanese"
I don't think Asimo has the flying thing down yet. It is still working on stairs. Now when Honda makes an Asimo type robot that will convert into an S2000 for my commute to work then transform to cook and clean for me when I get home, you can count me in.

Anyone else notice the final shot with optimus on the freeway, how his wheels spin via the inertia of his leg moving, man, the more i watch this, the more i focus on the cgi, the more i feel less skeptical. I don't care if it has the typical bay plot holes the size of a semi truck, visually it's spectacular.

"It's probably Japanese" -- because they've built some press-hogging ROBOTS. Really, quit with the GM-bashing... or the Transformers just might pay you a visit. Moving on...
So what if it's got plot holes big enough for a truck to drive through... it's got the truck, too!
The CGI is amazing. Even seen frame-by-frame in high-definition. Plus, there's no shortage of actual stuff getting actually blown to actual smithereeens.
When I saw this trailer, I turned 14 again. Cars and jets and giant robots and explosions and Megan Fox... suweet!

I think my jaw just dropped. I'm predicting a Titanic buster or a top ten grossing movie of all time.

"It's probably Japanese"
This in a movie in which the cars and aircraft and military equipment are all American?
Can't wait to see this movie though.

I am so torn on this one.
Transformers = old school awesome
Michael Bay = over-the top, cheesy, commercialized films
(think armageddon, pearl harbor, bad boys, etc)
His idea of action is usually "flash lights, and shake the hell out of the camera" *sigh* I hope he does this right.
