If you're starting to get the feeling that you may see the entire Transformers movie if you just sit down to watch all the trailers and scenes, we're with you and we're not complaining. We've been peppering you with any clip from the upcoming movie that we can find, this time we're bringing you a quick glimpse of the 2009 Camaro, followed by part of an epic battle between Optimus Prime and Bone Crusher.
Transformers is now officially only one month away, but we've been psyched for this movie for months. From the clips we've seen so far, Michael Bay's imagination is way cooler than the stuff that we came up with in our back yard. If you're a fan of the movie like we are, Mr. Bay's website has lots of good info, so check it out. And you can watch the newest clip after the jump.

Oh yea! Some good old fashion robot on robot carnage!
John R @ Jun 4th 2007 10:40AM
Wow. That's pretty impressive. Nothing like seeing Optimus back in action to make you feel like a kid again.
But did we really need to see that Cadillac skidding to a hault at the end? Oh, I almost forgot this movie is directed by Michael Bay.

Holy crap, that's awesome! The 2009 Camaro is amazing (listen to the sound of the engine), and loads of action. Besides, who doesn't want to see giant robots kicking the crap out of each other?

GM thanks you for promoting it's advertismen...I mean, movie.
Rob @ Jun 4th 2007 11:37AM
#2: Of course we did! This is GM's advertisemen- I mean MOVIE, and they paid for everything, so the entire movie, instead of being a movie about transformers, will basically be about GM products instead. This is exactly while I'll never pay to see it. Think the chase in the Matrix Reloaded, only 2 hours long.

You actually think that this is GM's movie? That's so funny that it's sad. By the same logic, it's also the US Army's movie, because their equipment makes up the bulk of the other vehicles.
I'm not saying there isn't heaps of product placement, but, right, GM decided they wanted to make a movie, so they bought the rights to the Transformers franchise to make a movie.
And the fact that Hasbro/Takara have been licensing vehicle designs for at least 8 years, and a Transformers movie has been rumored for at least 3, doesn't factor into it at all. If it wasn't GM, it would be Ford or Toyota or Chrysler or someone else, because the movie came first, the vendor came second.

Rob, your just jealous because ToyoDUH didn't think of it first!
Rob @ Jun 4th 2007 1:41PM
Tim: Actually I hate Toyota, and you're obviously too stupid to know the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE, so I really don't care what you think.
And yes, it IS GM'S ADVERTISEMEN- I MEAN MOVIE! Every single vehicle on the highway, every single vehicle parked on the street will be a NEW SHINY GM VEHICLE, just like the chase scene in the Matrix Reloaded. To me, that REALLY detracts from the movie, becuase it ruins the idea that this is happening in today's world. I've NEVER seen a highway with all one brand of car, all shiny and new. Have you? No. NOBODY HAS, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST. I would be okay with it if GM bought the rights to the transformer vehicles themselves, but replacing ALL the other vehicles in the entire movie is just dispicable and annoying.

i stopped watching them. i don't want to ruin it.
Andre @ Jun 4th 2007 1:23PM
I stopped watching the trailers too, I don't want to be disappointed when i go to see the movie and find out all the action sequences were pretty much release on the trailers beforehand..
Tyson @ Jun 4th 2007 1:38PM
if you look on the websites full trailer, you see prime still has his mask removed when he talks and indeed shows lips.
LIPS! MICHAEL! LIPS!!!!
horrible....
Oluseyi @ Jun 4th 2007 1:49PM
You know, Optimus Prime has always had lips. As Orion Pax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Pax) he had visible lips; the mouth guard was added after he became Optimus Prime. I've also read/heard intimations that the mouthplate serves to protect his still-damaged lips. Further, there have been certain incarnations of Prime/Convoy (his Japanese name) that have had visible lips.
Really, it's not a big deal. Most of the people complaining about this have only ever seen the Generation One cartoon that was shown in the US. Those familiar with all the Transformers properties understand that Prime is more mutable concept than fixed reference.
(My favorite, incidentally, is Leo Convoy. Y'know, FYI.)

Re: "GM movie"...
I guess you guys never realized there was an Optimus Prime toy that was a DODGE RAM PICKUP. Lol.
Atomicbri @ Jun 4th 2007 8:32PM
The thing that makes me most sad about this movie is the sellout to GM to help pay for the movie. I mean EVERY DAMN SCENE makes me feel this is more of a General Motors commercial than a Transformer movie. In the cartoon, the show was about the robots and their adventures. Every clip I have seen so far seems to emphasize GM products.... even the cars in just your everyday neighborhoods are GMs.... they could have at least made like Toyota the Decepticons or something! LOL! I am just a little disappointed, no strike that, A LOT disappointed....come on, BumbleBee not a VW Beetle.... and it was like a slap in the face when the boy goes to buy his car that a VW Beetle is sitting next to it on the car lot....

Not to mention Jazz, formerly a Porsche Martini GT car, being downgraded to a Pontiac Soltice, bleh.
Chet @ Jun 5th 2007 1:10PM
Whine away, but realize that most ordinary folks can't tell you which vehicles are made by GM out in the real world, nevermind in the background of a high-octane action movie with giant robots blowing stuff up.
And they don't always use shiny new vehicles. Sometimes they're shiny old ones.
