A Better Look At The SDCC Exclusive TRANSFORMERS Teaser Posters!!

Here's a good look at the two TRANSFORMERS Comic Con exclusive "mini one sheets" that were unveiled this weekend in San Diego.

They kind of speak for themselves...simple, and to the point. The Autobots logo, the Decepticon logo, and a release date.

Groovy...

Is it just me, or does the Autobot insignia look different?

Since the military's gonne be featured pretty heavily I'd use that chance to hint at a GI Joe spinoff movie. GI Joe/Transformers (Vol.1) meshed them pretty well.

From Sci Fi...

Transformers Details Revealed

SCI FI Wire got a rare peek at the production of director Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers movie in downtown Los Angeles on Aug. 26, including the first up-close look at the disguised versions of four key Autobots: the chartreuse search-and-rescue vehicle Ratchet, the giant black GMC 4x4 Ironhide, the sleek silver Pontiac Solstice sports car that is Jazz and the muscle-y yellow-and-black Chevy Camaro that is the new Bumblebee—so new that the car in the movie is a prototype for a vehicle that hasn't even gone into production yet. Ironhide had an Autobot logo on his tailgate; Ratchet featured a fire department seal on its doors with the same logo in the design.

In interviews with cast and crew, SCI FI Wire also got a preview of the film and learned a few key spoilers:

•The film will offer background about the origin of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The plot will be set in motion when 18-year-old Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers his grandfather's pair of century-old glasses, improbably laser-etched with a map and information about the location of a key artifact, the "Energon" cube, which he then tries to sell on eBay. The movie will follow five separate storylines, which will all converge with a final battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, starting at Hoover Dam and ending in an American city that looks a lot like Los Angeles.

•The film is seeking permission to be the first production to film the exterior of the Pentagon since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001; the movie will also shoot in various cities, including L.A., Chicago, Detroit and Washington.

•The film will feature a top-secret military unit called Sector 7.

•Voice casting of the Transformer robots is being left until later in the production, except for Peter Cullen, who was previously named to reprise his role as Optimus Prime. In particular, producers wouldn't say whether Frank Welker, who voiced Megatron in the 1986 animated Transformers film, would voice the character in the movie.

•The movie will use a mix of computer animation and large-scale puppetry to depict the giant robots. Megatron will appear as a plane, not a giant gun, as he did in early versions of the franchise.

•The film's first full trailer will appear sometime during the holiday season this year.

Overall, director Bay told SCI FI Wire that the movie strives for realism, despite its cartoony origins. "I only wanted to do Transformers if I could do it realistic," Bay said in an interview. "And from what I've seen and what we've done with our digital studies, putting it in real-world stuff, that is lots of effects around that are real effects, that's how we make it realistic." When Bay got the first call from producer Steven Spielberg, he said, "My first thought was, 'Nah, I'm not interested.' And just because I thought, 'OK, how am I going to do a toy movie?' And then I realized, when I went to Hasbro, 'OK, start over and go for [a] realistic alien-invasion-robot movie on Earth.' And so, with that thinking in mind, that's how I went about it."

On a hot Saturday, Bay and his crew shot a scene on a blocked-off street in the heart of downtown L.A. The scene featured the four Autobots, accompanied by military crews led by co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel, and young stars LaBeouf and Megan Fox, who plays Mikaela, LaBeouf's love interest. In the scene, the commandoes see what they believe to be Air Force jets flying overhead, then realize that the coming flying machines are something else—Decepticons in disguise?—and throw smoke grenades to obscure their positions as dozens of civilians run screaming around them. Ironhide, the black truck in the lead of the column of Autobots, appears to collide with a delivery truck carrying Furbys (the talking furry animal toys that are also made by Transformers maker Hasbro). The truck is on a gimbal, which allows it to swing up and stand perpendicular to the street, as if knocked on its end

. The idea is that the Furbys will be knocked from the truck, in flames, then activate when the Energon cube flies overhead. "We just wanted to have burning Furbys on the ground, you know?" Bay said with a laugh. "We're going to be blowing up a lot of little Furbys." Transformers is currently in production, with an eye to a July 4, 2007, release. —Patrick Lee, News Editor

Megatron being a Cybertronian aircraft doesn't bother me. He's been all sorts of stuff lately.

Bumblebee kinda hits hard. I mean he has to be a Beetle. Otherwise he's just that punkass replacement 'junior autobot' Hotshot.

They just want royalties for product placement. I bet they're getting more off the new model.

Damn shame. Bumblebee had the perfect personality/vehicle combo. I don't underestimate or feel sorry for a Camero; concept Camero at that.

At best it's a test shot of a transforming sequence with a place holder character. It's already been said that the robots won't look that much like their 'boxy' cartoon designs so that's not from the movie. And it seems to try to hard to make it look like a leaked ILM vid. There's a bunch of transformer vids that are merely commercials and that maybe one of them.

Me thinks it's a fake, but otherwise cool little clip of... something.

guys.

i'm not looking for trouble here. i'm not flaming anyone, and i'm not trying to start a fight.

but this is the kinda shit i'm talking about. a fucking Transformers movie. and you all are psyched for this!

seriously, i'm not trying to be Ebert and Roper here. but realisticly speaking, what is the likelyhood that this is going to be a watchable movie for anyone over the age of 10. and be realistic.

The majority of movie-goers who will go and see this don't take these kinds of movies as seriously as people like yourself. Like I'm not trying to rip on you or anything, but from what I've seen you take these action movies way too seriously.

Transformers while originally meant for kids, has fans of all ages these days. And anyone who watched the cartoon as a kid would love to see this as well. It is possible for a movie to be enjoyable for all ages. You think Pixar makes millions on just kids? How about any comic book movie?

Looking at that trailer and those pics, I am very optimistic about this film. People need to stop being so cynical and just relax.

The trailer looked really good. But when Bumblebee is going to be that Camaro a few posts, I thought well, it might still be good. But know I see this new picture of what looks like Scorponok and TYREESE GIBSON! Now I'm really worried.

By the looks of it, they did a pretty good job on Optimus Prime. Screens were moving to fast to recognize anyone else. Minus Bumblebee and Scorponok.

Except for the fact that 2 of those 3 have a history of crap attached to them (bay blows as a director and FF 1 was fucking terrible)

This movie scares me. I'll probably end up seeing it right away, just because its Transformers and they'll probably keep what they look like a secret to lure in people. I'm a pawn to hollywood sometimes, but at least I know it.
But yea, the summer should be good. I'm more pumped about Spidey, Grindhouse, The Simpsons Movie and the rest.

Should be huge at the box office. I have big expectations for box office for The Simpsons Movie, hopefully I'm not wrong. Plus Spidey 3 and Pirates will rake in the dough. Transformers will be a hit as long as word of mouth doesn't kill it.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Transformers would have a small chance if any of trasnlating well onto the silver screen in live action. Those chances are made even slimmer with Michael Bay at the helm. I will reserve judgement until I see it, but it's likely going to be both a bad movie and a disgrace to fans.
As for its financial success, its going to be really dependent on reviews and word of mouth. They're going to need positive things after the first weekend. People will turn out the first weekend, but it could be a huge dropoff if word gets out that it sucks and Spiderman 3, Pirates, Die Hard 4 and whatever else are playing for summer blockbusters.

I wouldn't call FF terrible. It definitly did some things wrong, namely Dr. Doom, but I still found it enjoyable for the Thing and Human Torch's scenes. I think they made a mistake in casting someone as young as Alba for Invisible Woman. Susan Storm has always been a much stronger, maternal character.

Dr. Doom is pegged to return. Hopefully with him sent to Latveria in the last movie, he'll return as a character closer to his comic counterpart. That said, the sequel has potential to be really good.

Torch and Thing were pretty good but that's only 2 out of 5 important characters and the other 3 were so terrible that the bad eclipses the good.

I don't know how you can say the sequel has potential to be really good, it's the same director, one of the same writters and the new writter has done such amazing works as My Super-Ex Girlfriend (incidently his only theatrical film writing credit)

Far as I can tell with the pic, they're going with a mecha-type style. The geek in me misses the windshield/chest thing that's always been Prime, but otherwise I'm good with it.

TBH, he could be bulkier, being the leader and all that.

Blackout, Optimus, poor Starscream, and Scorp-e-nok.

Right when I'm getting used to the robot modes I see a bloated Starscream.
