If you want to know what happened, it was basically...
SPOILERS BELOW SPOILERS BELOW
Optimus Prime narrates something about a struggle to possess the Energon Cube. Not "energon cubes," as in "the combination food/powersource mcguffin that Decepticons were always trying to process Earth's energy resources into," but rather The Energon Cube, some sort of ancient mystical artifact. Apparently the Cube somehow ended up on earth, as a hapless captain of a polar expedition stumbles into a crevice with a frozen Decepticon in it, and subsequently gets blinded by some kind of laser light that etches cryptic Cybertronian symbols into his glasses.
Then we see a couple of military guys flying into a base somewhere, laughing and joshing with each other. And that's where the excerpt ends.
There are a few script drafts going around -- a February one's still live-linked in here, I think:

Would guess that relatively little about the thing as a whole will change now, but I'm crossing fingers for a few dialogue tweaks. It'll probably be a decent enough popcorn movie.
