That was actually pretty cool. Seemed more relevant than the Mars business from the first film and yet was still quite teasery. I hope this isn't the only bit of moonage in the film. A robo e robo deathmatch between Prime and Megatron with the Earth in the background and the fate of the universe in the balance would be a nice ending.
I also hope Michael Collins gets a big roll. He's my all-time hero, by virtue of doing the most thankless job in one of the biggest events in history.
Edit: And whoever that robot at the end was had an awesome beard.

The trailer was badass imo. It changes the goal of the space race entirely. Russia and America weren't trying to see who can get to the moon first, they're were trying to stake their claim on alien technology. Awesomeness on Bay's part.

It would appear that Apollo 11 isn't the first volley, either. That first shot in the trailer of the Apollo capsule headed towards the moon has to be Apollo 8. So maybe Apollo 8 finds
SPOILER! (select to read)And that's why Neil and Buzz head there? Should be fun. I certainly like this better than, "we got there using alien technology" or "we didn't go there at all."The crashed...uh...Ark, I assume?

I suspect the Apollo 11 stuff is going to seriously get on my tits (a ship that large within easy bouncing distance of where Apollo 11 landed no one has ever noticed from Earth despite the visible part of the moon in general and that area in particular at the time being incredibly closely studied?), I've never understood why people need to cloud such an amazing achievement with conspiracy bollocks. I'm guessing the "Our Nation" text will be changed for the non US version?
Plus side, it completely pisses on the Ghosts of Yesterday book where a super secret secret space mission gets sent up at the same time as the completely un-Transformers related Apollo 11 launch.

Well, it's not completely out of the question. It's only been within the last year or so that we've been able to see the landers on the moon with anything. No ground based telescope can see them. And no satellite was able to photograph them until last summer. And even then...it's just a dot on the picture. So it's not inconceivable that no one could see this thing from Earth.inflatable dalek wrote:I suspect the Apollo 11 stuff is going to seriously get on my tits (a ship that large within easy bouncing distance of where Apollo 11 landed no one has ever noticed from Earth despite the visible part of the moon in general and that area in particular at the time being incredibly closely studied?)

Aren't the novels basically pissed upon by IDW, by contradicting basically every single thing that had happened there? And it's not like Michael Bay would be likely to consider a couple of badly written novels and comic books while making a movie, anyway. -points at Defiance-inflatable dalek wrote:Plus side, it completely pisses on the Ghosts of Yesterday book where a super secret secret space mission gets sent up at the same time as the completely un-Transformers related Apollo 11 launch.
Plus, Ghosts of Yesterday was crap.
I like the fact the trailer tries to ground the film in reality, and space - you know, like the original Movie Mars thing. Unlike that, though, I think it's safe to assume this is integral to the plot.
Looks like some thought has gone in to this one. (Maybe just a smidge...)

They should have a scene where Armstrong fights a Transformer, the lines almost write themselves. "That's one small step... IN YOUR FACE!"
