Is it me, or has the fan reaction been even worse than the 'OMG, guy who directed Brain Dead is doing LOTR!' panic?

As a true child of the 80's you have my unending thanks.

The Transformers movie makes me sad. Err.. correction: Michael Bay makes me sad.

Every time Micheal Bay make a movie (except PotC), God kills a kitten.

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.

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.

Whoops, cookies have mysteriously disappeared...

To the person who mentioned that the fandom's rabid... yup, but that's nothing new. We've actually settled down a lot in the last five years or so.
