The Superbowl Transformers 2 teaser trailer, a little early:

Summary of the trailer

- Ravage is the beast like creature, matching leaked concept designs

-A very large transformer emerging through a bridge as Optimus Prime jumps on his head, matching the leaked Terex RH400 toy’s head and arms, rolling along on one giant wheel (EDIT: Two wheels, thanks Jeffrey). Looks like ONE of the constructicons that makes up the even bigger Devastator. He is also the character destroying the helicopters at Bethlehem Steel works.

View the toy images, View Bethlehem Filming Report and Images. The exploding bridge scenes were filmed in Long Beach – View video footage (and more footage, including an aerial angle).

- Optimus Prime gets smacked in the face by an unknown entity

- The Audi R8 robot comes crashing through a window before turning into its vehicle alt mode and driving away

- As the Audi R8 drives away you can see more Transformers coming into the screen in the top right, there is a hint of pink on the first one and it seems to be almost skating, I am guessing this is Arcee, a third character is also seen briefly behind her. Screenshots further down. The R8 has previously been seen with Arcee following in the Walmart footage, this is probably an extension of that scene.

- Shia gets confronted by what appears to be Starscream and then is held down by a large claw – the trailer implies this is also Starscream but the claw is very similar to the one on the redesigned Megatron (Seen here). The claw also bears some strange markings, similar to those on the Voyager class toy packages.

More likely to be just one of the constructicons that make up the even bigger Devastator.

Shia Confronted by Starscream

Looks like this was also filmed in Bethlehem, matches this scenery.

Note the symbols in the background:

It’s almost here. The teaser trailer shall be airing on February 1st, specifically in the third quarter, a few minutes in. The full length trailer will also appear on February 13th, appearing on the internet one week later, although I am sure some leaked versions will make their way around before then.

In the words of Michael Bay:

So,

The Super Bowl spot is coming Sunday in the third Quarter (few minutes into the quarter slot). The spot will be online a few minutes after that – The full length teaser trailer will only be on Friday the Thirteenth. It will not hit the internet until a week later. The Teaser really only teases stuff – I’m holding so much stuff back from the final trailers because I personally hate going to movies where you have seen it all.

Tell me what you think,

Michael
