The newest trailer for Transformers has just been released on Yahoo Movies.

This will run in front of Shrek The Third this weekend as well as Pirates Of The Carribean: At Worlds End next weekend.

Click Here to see the new Exclusive trailer and all the old ones too!

Josh Duhamel, who plays Captain Lennox in Transformers was on Ellen yesterday. And since all actors bring clips of their movies, here is 45 seconds of Transformers. The clip is mostly unremarkable, and the last few seconds clearly jump WAY ahead so its not a full scene, but you do see a little bit of whats happening in Qatar.

A trailer has surfaced for the forthcoming Transformers Movie this summer. This version has a bit more action in it, but most importantly, we get our first listen at Optimus Prime speaking. Watch for yourself.

UPDATE – The YouTube video has been taken down. Once we find a new one, we’ll be sure to post it for you, but until then you can access the file directly right HERE. Watch out dial-uppers, it’s about 2 MB.

Mark your calendars!

Thanks to Elysa for the tip!

Two new television commercials for Transformers appeared online today.

The first, came from IGN. I’ve provided a Youtube mirror above. You can download it if you choose here. This spot contains new footage of Prime, Frenzy, Ironhide, Starscream, Jon Voight, and Megatron. Also of note is original Transformers narrator Victor Caroli voicing the ID at the end.

The second appeared on alternate reality site SectorSeven.org. Access it by using this link and double-clicking the red hard drive icon in the top left corner. You’ll get a different 30 second spot with Bumblebee, Bernie Mac, and Starscream. Keep an eye on the car lot for a yellow bug that isn’t Bumblebee.

EDIT- the second ad has been put on Youtube, click on for the embeded video. [Read the rest of this entry…]

Along with a story in USA Today, 2 new Transformers 2007 Movie posters have been released to the internet. These new one-sheet posters should be in theaters soon. One features the word “Protect” and the profile of Optimus Prime, the other “Destroy” and the profile of Megatron.

Also of note: The Transformers Myspace, where you can choose to befriend the Autobots or Decepticons.

Why anyone would want to befriend the robots with contempt for our race is beyond me. I mean, thats a pretty abusive relationship you’re jumping in to. People on Myspace are bad enough as it is.

SectorSeven.org, the viral marketing website based on the secret government organization in the 2007 Transformers movie has been updated with a startling confirmation of a cast member. Use password “NBETWO” to gain access to the site, and you’ll find the following email…

Operation Hungry Dragon 2 continues. As of today agent H. Weaving has officially convinced S.S., M.B., R.O. and A.K. to oversee the Megaman issue. The recording will commence immediately.

All the years of investment into Agent Weavings public persona have finally paid off. We will monitor the campaign from the inside and report on its progress free from suspicion.

By this summer, the population will think N.B.E.’s are nothing more then figments of an overactive imagination.

Our power lies in our secrecy.

Just to translate some of the jargon… “NBE” means Non-Biological Organism and “Megaman” has been the code word used for anything referring to Megatron. As for the Initials, you’re looking at producer Steven Spielberg, Director Michael Bay, and writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. H. Weaving is none other than Hugo Weaving, seen prominently as Agent Smith in the Matrix series and Elrond in Lord Of The Rings.

IESB reported in January that it was a neck-and-neck race between Weaving and original Transformers series Megatron Frank Welker. Now it appears that the choice has been made and voice recording will commence immediately.

Michael Bay has also updated his website with a letter. Some strong language follows after the cut… [Read the rest of this entry…]

Activision’s Daniel Suarez has a few words with Superhero Hype about their next game, Transformers: The Game.

The game, which will launch on multiple platforms, is supposed to feature 9 playable Transformers and 7 destructable levels over 2 seperate Autobot and Decepticon campaigns. Of note is this comment:

We’re making a game that is for Transformers fans. Since the very beginning, we’ve been very conscious of the heritage of this brand and have worked hard to integrate characters, locations and even subtle acknowledgements to G1 anywhere we can. There are a lot of special surprises, unique elements and bonus features that fans will enjoy.

Considering the unlockable costumes in all of Activision’s Marvel games and the character variations in Traveler’s Tales’ LEGO Star War series, is there any chance we’ll see some alternate looks for the playable characters? I can’t very well expect full 1984 remakes of the whole cast, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Bumblebee’s goofy face returning.

Thanks Dru!

TFW2005 has a a few pictures from a photo op at Edwards Air Force Base here, where you can see all the Autobots in addition to the Decepticon Barricade and the F22 Raptor, which is the form of Starscream. Wow. Starscream is BIG. Check ’em out. ComingSoon has some shots of more Autobots from ShoWest 2007.

MTV has short interview with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, with some spoilers.

And because you can’t bring up Transformers without talking about the voice casting, NO they still have not made a decision about Megatron and Frank Welker, though he and Peter Cullen were spotted together on Shia Lebeouf’s Myspace. Rumours have been flying of Will Smith in negotiations as Jazz, which sounds pretty good if you ask me.

Finally, Shia mentioned to IESB that Transformers got an “R” rating on its first run through the MPAA. Apparently keeping blood out of the movie didn’t work, as the intense ‘bot on ‘con violence was still enough. Spielberg went to bat for the movie and got it knocked down to a PG-13. A new trailer with more awesome violence is due next month.
