- laplacian, on 10/11/2007, -5/+47buried for the horrid 4:3 conversion... and for "robogasm"
- JagoX, on 10/11/2007, -8/+50Oh sweet jebus will you babies stop WHINING about how Michael Bay sucks. Seriously...
We get it that you all hate him for some (lame) reason...but get over it already...geez. You whiners sound as bad as the comic book geeks who complained about "Spiderman 3" not being "realistic."
Besides...not every god damn movie that comes out HAS TO be an Oscar nominee and/or award winner to be good or entertaining. If you are going into this movie expecting it to be "realistic" or to follow the source material 100% then don't even bother going in to see it then b/c we already have enough whiners on Digg in the first place.
/end rant - bvaughn, on 10/11/2007, -3/+45Hi Res & HD Version
http://movies.yahoo.com/summer-movies/Transformers/1808716430/trailers/31 - Artifez, on 10/11/2007, -2/+38I was thinking about it, how would you type that transformers sound? Chaa choo choo choooo chooo? kurrr cheee cheee chee cheee? Hmmm, the world may never know for sure.
- parax, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32Today marks the day that I'm officially tired of seeing crappy low-quality youtubeized videos. Nothing eliminates quality faster than converting videos into Flash. Maybe as our next trend we could start with RealMedia files and convert them into Flash format and maybe reduce the color to 8-bit grayscale.
- ShadySpace, on 10/11/2007, -4/+26As pessimistic as I am about this adaptation, that was pretty goddamn awesome.
- marlonmunsen, on 10/11/2007, -8/+27stop whining about people whining about whiners
- BevansDesign, on 10/11/2007, -22/+39Hey, you know what? ***** your childhood. They're not making this movie to feed your sense of nostalgia.
- theubermensche, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19That is definitely more than meets the eye!
- JagoX, on 10/11/2007, -6/+22...you are an idiot.
- Kardall, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Now, if someone has the link for the hi-res version of this before it was uploaded to the youtube or what have you... that'd be perfect.
- erikerikerik, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16I was hoping for at least a "roll out...."
:'( - HerrEisenheim, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16FINALLY some other people are starting to get it. Flash video ***** sucks.
- daschupa, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16If this movie is Oscar caliber, than I frankly won't want to see it. I wanna see robots kicking the crap out of each other with fist pumping fight scenes and a decent plot. I don't want Ang Lee's Transformers. And, from the trailer, this thing looks perfect (complete with Michael Bay's patented meteors and explosions on grand scales.)
- willjc, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15it's really starting to annoy me that, what are essentially commercials, must be constantly streamed and not as easily downloaded
- lopla, on 10/11/2007, -5/+17Looks ok, but remember.. the Star Wars Ep1 trailer and Godzilla trailers also looked phenominal..
- londubh, on 10/11/2007, -5/+17Hello! This is a Michael Bay movie. This song from Team America by Trey Parker says it best:
The End of an Act Lyrics
I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark,
When he made Pearl Harbor.
I miss you more than that movie missed the point,
And that’s an awful lot .
And now, now you've gone away,
And all I'm trying to say,
Is Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you
I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
He's way better then Ben Affleck.
And now all I can think about is your smile,
And that ***** movie too,
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you
Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
Just a little bit more than I miss you. - duniyadnd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Funny, this was up on digg earlier in the day... that too on the front page..

and lo and behold, it had a link straight to the HD versions of the trailer.. who would have thunk it.. - BevansDesign, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Ok, hopefully this'll work for everyone. These are the links that will allow you to download the trailer (Quicktime). At least, they worked for me when I stuck them into GetRight. I guess the links are dynamically generated (or something), so if you use these, don't hit pause/stop, or you'll have to re-enter one of the links below.

- xenoploid, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15Removing Megatron's arm cannon is like having Indiana Jones without his whip. Perhaps Spielberg will ***** that up too?
- ahussain1986, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12you can't judge movies based on trailers. some of the best movies have horrible trailers and vice versa. i'm still holding hope that this will be an amazing movie, but it could go either way.
- elitexero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11At least it's got good intro music XD
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14What the hell, people. Michael Bay isn't a great director. But he's decent and for these type of movies, he's better than decent, even.
There is no way in hell anyone could create a Transformers film without it being 75% over the top action. Michael Bay is a perfect fit, for this movie.
Just because you can scream "Michael Bay sucks!!" doesn't mean you have good taste, intelligence and a clue. Get over it. - Shippwreck87, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Anyone else get an adrenaline rush after seeing some of those transformations?
- AnimalTaglits, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11No voices?
- casbboy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9How the hell did this go front page when this already existed:
http://digg.com/movies/New_Exclusive_Transformers_Trailer
People aren't realizing this to be the same trailer, but WAY crappier format?
People really didn't see the original link on the front page? - BorsKaegel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Why would a horrible version like this make the front page? Yahoo has been available all day. Go get it there.
- merripen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10The entirety of Spielberg's contribution was in making it PG-13. That's about it.
- jinchoung, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10excuse me but that trailer looks FRICKING AWESOME!!! i'm definitely NOT a michael bay fan (though i thought the war footage in pearl harbor was awesome and THE ROCK was really good all around) but there's nothing about that last trailer that doesn't scream awesome!
did anyone else squeal like a girl and wiggle their forearms when they heard the original TRANSFORM SOUND when optimus transforms?!
eeeeeeeee
jin - JagoX, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9See that's the problem...you're trying to analyze to death an ACTION movie that is meant squarely for entertainment and not meant to be taken literally.
Just enjoy the damn movie for what it is...ENTERTAINMENT! If you try to over analyze everything then you'll never be entertained. - megashaun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I've always gone with "KROO KA CHOO KOO! KROO KA CHOO KOO! KROO KA CHOO KOO!"
Or *transformer noise!* *transformer noise!* *transformer noise!*
And yes, I've actually had to type it before. - Optimaximal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Starscream leaping off the road and transforming in mid-air. That was just damn sweet!
- pointblank187, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Dugg both your comment and your story down. You can easily tell after finding it that it's a CAM not HD quality anything.
- JagoX, on 10/11/2007, -7/+14B/c they weren't metal before right?
/rolls eyes
Stuff that looked "cool" in the 80s doesn't always translate well 20 years later. - Dhalsim007, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10Where are the energon cubes from the cartoon? Seriously!
- arunforce, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9My guess is their theme song is "What I've Done" by Linkin Park. Makes sense to me. :O
- DMU789, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10This is going to be a great movie... Looking forward to it... Sad I dont have the toys anymore
- vh1`, on 10/11/2007, -9/+15just to cash in off of it
- Gotar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Yeah this movie is not very realistic, right?
:O - JagoX, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8SO b/c they don't look like 1980's robots they didn't do it for the fans? Not every fan is picky and snobby about about change...myself included. I was a little apprehensive in the beginning when I first saw what they did with Bumblebee, Optimus, etc. but that was also when I didn't know very much. Now that I have seen a whole lot more, it's actually not that bad.
It's the 21st century...I can deal with the robots LOOKING like they are actually intelligent creatures and robotic looking at the same time. - bvaughn, on 10/11/2007, -7/+12Um, you can download it from yahoo. Click 480 720 or 1080 right below the embedded player.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6funny how the blog spam got there when the direct links were already popular.
down with blog spam! - watership, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I hope that the personalities of the Transformers is retained. Not exactly that of the cartoon, but at least have some sort of way we can identify with them. The trailer looks good, but I get the nagging feeling that they might take a direction away from that.
- RobotDan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I'm going to get buried for this, i just know it...
Micheal Bay is my favorite director and I had a nerdgasm when i heard he was going to do this flick.
Bay knows how to do one thing, and that's Entertain. And he does a good job of it.
He cares not what people think, all he does is give people entertainment. That's it.
And i bet, about 80% of you bashing both this movie, and Bay will see it in the theater. So stop wasting Digg's bandwidth with your bitching and embrace the human urge to see some ***** blow up.
-D - HerrEisenheim, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6>>The only decent alternative is Quicktime
No. MPEG-4 is an alternative. It's a standard that is now supported on Windows, Mac OS, Linux and a growing number of devices (ie. iPods, PSPs, etc.). You can play an H.264 encoded MP4 on every major platform. It's vastly superior to On2 VP6 encoded Flash Video in both quality AND size. Plus, you can use AAC encoding instead of MP3, which makes a big difference at low bit-rates. - Ogedei, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I have two things to say.
The first I have said before and deals with the stupid comments about lips. Some of you piss and moan "WAHHH THEY RAPED MY CHILDHOOD! This is gonna suck, lips ***** that's stupid". Dill holes. A LOT of the transformers from the original series HAD LIPS. ***** wads.
The second deals with the Japanes comment everyone seems to be bashing. Frankly I thought it was pretty funny. And I give you Episode 26 of the original series "Enter the Nightbird". The plot? a Super advanced Japanese ninja robot that KICKED some SERIOUS ass.
You can find pics of lips and super advanced japanese ninja bots here..
http://seibertron.com/cartoons/episodes.php?series_id=1 - themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Well that's just prime!
- JagoX, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Well it is Apple...what do you expect? :-P
- cbrunet, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4@optimaximal
Oh man was it ever! StarScream has always been my favourite Decepticon, and he seems to be the most prominent villain in the trailer for obvious reason. He kicks so much ass! I really hope he doesnt "die" in this film and will live to fight again. -
