I am also looking forward to the Captain America movie due out on the 22nd of July as well. So July looks to me a movie month. May have to start putting aside a little cash so Kat and I can go and watch these movies. :)

I wonder if they kept Megan Fox's character and changed the actress or if that girl is Sam's new love interest.

Thanks for posting that vid BQ. :)

It's a new character, Mega Fox's character is no longer in it from my knowledge from what I have ready and saw on TV one day by accident.

Your welcome. :)

Now it happens as that many fans has said they wanted Unicron in TF3, I got curious on him and researched about him (including watching several episodes about him).

Now I have found something that is almost a confirmation he will be in TF3:

Transformers 3 wiki said:
In a hidden extra for the Blu-ray version of Revenge of the Fallen, Bay expressed his intention to make Transformers 3 not necessarily larger than Revenge of the Fallen, but instead go deeper into the mythos, give it more character development, and make it darker and more emotional. Shortly after the release of Revenge of the Fallen, Orci said he would like to introduce Unicron "for scale's sake", and Unicron is briefly shown in a secret Transformers 3 preview feature in the Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray disc, but no comment is made on the subject.

Here's the preview posted on Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzNxo2p-aQQ

Well, I wouldn't say it's 100% confirmation Unicron will be in Transformers 3, but it does says it's possible.

Majestic is right; though it bothers me somewhat that they probably wont even explain what has happened to her character. She went through a lot in T1 and T2, and then all of a sudden, she's gone and Sam is having it away with someone else?

From what I know, I hope Unicron isn't in T3. Simply for Scales Sake, I don't think Unicron would work. Unless they significantly scale him down (which would defeat the purpose of having him) there ain't much point. Wouldn't be too bad if he merely gets a mention, but to include him... I'm not liking that idea too much.

Unicron could work as both a villain and a setting, forcing the Autobots to fight against the very ground under their feet, and allowing for (while actually on Unicron) an omniscient and omnipresent villain. However, Unicron getting close enough to actually be useful in this way would probably destroy whatever cover the Autobots think they have.

I'm still amazed that they managed to cover up the battle from the first movie that nearly leveled half a city and then the whole thing with the Fallen in the second movie, not to mention that one of the Great Pyramids is gone now. If Optimus thinks he still has any kind of cover he's probably delusional.

But Cabal, Humans are remarkably easy to fool using advanced technology as you yourself have proven time and again. It would be child's play to replace the destroyed pyramid with a hologram. As to the survivors of the ruined city, all one need do is convince them it isn't destroyed but had fake damage applied to normal streets with the same holographic technology. This was done as part of an evil plot by the dark forces of the CIA, IBM, and the California Bureau of Tourism. Reason: To get more people to vacation in L.A. rofl

Well after the disaster of Tf2, i'm a skeptic about the quality of the third...... but a preview with an EPIC runway takeout sword and cannon sequence, and a dragon, is enough to make me pay 7$ to see any movie.... Plot or not... i go for the battle......

and about the auto-looking-bot in the first trailer.... i doubt hes unicron.... he is to small to be... (either that or hes a midget-tized version)

He's not Unicron, it's already been confirmed who he is, like I said one month ago:

Just looked up on the wikipedia about this new movie and it tells who it is we see at the end of the trailer:

Michael Bay has confirmed Sentinel Prime will be in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Entertainment Weekly has revealed the official toy images of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Leader Class Sentinel Prime. A Rosenbauer Firetruck has been confirmed to be his vehicle mode, and the Announcement Trailer bot is Sentinel Prime

So now we know. :)

;)

But still many believes Unicron will be in there, some of them even have said they have read he will be. But I don't know where.
Though they may be thinking among other things about this quote from the magazine "Empire":

about Transformers 3 said:
"The scale of one of them is jawdopping," marvels di Bonaventura. "It will be "what-the-h-was-was-that-thing?"

:)

Better watch out.. If Unicron is in this, it'll be voiced by Shatner. ;)

Either way, T3 looks to outdo both the first, and second installments; being much darker, less comedy value (though I expect the odd joke will still crop up). I hope they've not shown the good bits in the trailers though. T2 looked brilliant, though after actually watching it (for a second and third time) I was left disappointed.

One thing that is going to annoy me (still) is two Transformers that seem to be 'lost'. Barricade was seen alive en route to join Megatron in T1, yet never showed up, and Jolt (the Blue Car in T2 with the Electric Whips) doesn't appear to be in T3. He had potential, and they've got rid of him already; with no reason either. That's a letdown right there. :(

I see what you mean.

Anyway, I have a list here of those that has been confirmed among the transformers in the movie (though some of them are unnamed), along with a small info on each:

Transformers 3 wiki said:
Autobots
-Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader. While he retains his vehicle mode of a blue Peterbilt 379 truck with red flame decals, he has been added a trailer similar to his Generation 1 counterpart, and has been redesigned to look more heroic. Optimus can combine with his trailer and gain a third transformation mode.
-Leonard Nimoy voices Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime's predecessor who turns into a Rosenbauer Panther Airport crash tender fire truck. Sentinel Prime is seen as the Autobot in stasis on the Ark in the teaser trailer. Nimoy provided the voice for Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie and had been considered for voicing The Fallen in Revenge of the Fallen.
-Bumblebee, Sam's guardian that turns into a fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Bumblebee has also gone through some changes, his vehicle mode featuring a new body kit and paint job,[69] and designers modifying him to look more mature.
-Ironhide, the Autobot weapons specialist who transforms into a GMC Topkick.
Ratchet, the Autobot medic who transforms into a search and rescue Hummer H2. Ratchet also had some changes done to his vehicle form, as he has been painted green and white.
-Sideswipe, the Autobot whose vehicle mode is a silver Chevrolet Corvette Centennial, now upgraded into a convertible.
-An Autobot who will debut as a red Ferrari 458 Italia. Nicknamed "Dreadbox".]
-James Avery will provide the voice of Silverbolt.
-The Wreckers, an Autobot sub-team that transform into heavily armed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chevrolet Impala stock cars equipped with machine guns. They function as a Commando Unit. Bill ***erbakke will be the voice of one of them. The Wreckers are:
Leadfoot, a Juan Pablo Montoya #42 Target car.
Roadbuster, a Dale Earnhardt, Jr. #88 AMP Energy/National Guard car.
Topspin, a Jimmie Johnson #48 Lowe's/Kobalt car.
-Wheelie, a former Decepticon returns from his debut in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
-A blue Mercedes-Benz W212 will debut as an Autobot inventor codenamed Q, whose design resembles Albert Einstein. He has been said to be friends with Wheelie.

Decepticons
-Megatron, the Decepticon Leader. He has changed his vehicle mode to an armored rusty Mack Titan 10-wheeler tank truck equipped with heavy weaponry. Due to the events from the last movie Megatron will hide half of his face by using a cowl.
-Shockwave, who transforms into a Cybertronian tank and will act as one of the film's main villains. Corey Burton, who performed Shockwave's voice in all of Shockwave's major animated appearances was offered the role, but he declined it, so David Warner is being considered to voice him.
-Starscream, the air commander who transforms into an F-22 Raptor.
-Soundwave, Megatron's communication officer, now transforms into an SUV.
-Laserbeak, Soundwave's minion that resembles a mechanical condor.
Transforms into a Gyrodyne.
-A Decepticon has been revealed to turn into a Superfund armored security truck.
-A group of Decepticon clones known as The Dreads that turn into Chevrolet Suburban emergency vehicles.

Others
-Mark Ryan is also confirmed to be voicing several characters in the film.
-Tom Kenny, who voiced Wheelie and Skids in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, confirmed that he is returning for Dark of the Moon, but his roles have not been revealed.

Seems we will see many new ones, and the "others" part is hinting of even more yet to be revealed.

I hope skids and mudflap are going to be in it, they were my favourite ones from the second movie. I just hope they stop adding autobots as main characters, we really didný get to see enough of the background ones from the second movie.

Obviously they would keep adding the bad guys as they would be getting destroyed throughout the movies. I guess only time will tell and this is one movie I would like to see at the Cinemas. :)

Swear this Ferrari has had more names than any other. Could have sworn it started out as Hot Rod, then another Prime...

Suffice to say, at present, he's listed as 'Mirage' (see: Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There's also another (smaller) Autobot named 'Brains' that seems to have been added to the cast too.

I'm still a tad annoyed they're not reusing Jolt; that's the Blue Chevrolet Volt for those that didn't know.

Well, it seems that Skids and Mudflap have been officially axed from TF3. Personally I think people are being too thin skinned over fictional characters. It was two "minorities" that was voicing the characters. What a lot of people fail to understand that when it comes to voice actors, the director (et all) allow the actors to establish the characters first and then the artists design the characters based off of that. I have no idea if that is how it worked with these two or not but, I know it has happen many times before. I know when I watched TF2, I did not hear one "that's racists" remark from the crowd. Any who, Still looking forward to the next installation.

Here is the article.

tbh, no loss for me. they were my least favorite characters in the show, and not for ethnic reasons either. Jazz was by far my favorite and he died.:cry2: I thought that the autobot side was severely lacking good characters in the second movie, other than jetfire, who i thought was again amazing and sadly killed.:cry:

The two mentioned above, again were not my favorite. I thought they kinda messed with the serious feel the first movie had(as far as the advanced robots were concerned anyway) but hopefully, the new movie will have some better robots to replace them.

Not intending to hurt any feelings here, just my opinion.:angel:

What about the fancy paint job? I think that paint job with the flames looks cool. :thumbsup:

Chrome is verah kewel indeed. Shiny Trucks go faster I always say. Alas, the paint job would've guaranteed I got pulled over by every cop who laid eyes on me, lol. My truck, Daddee's Gurl, was a Model 379 Extended Hood. Nine feet of metal separated the windshield from the Winged Pig Lady hood ornament. This is the type of Pete most commonly seen on the highways and roads of North America. The Peterbilt Optimus turned into is a Model 359, commonly referred to as a, "Short-Nosed Pete". The truck used for shooting the vehicle scenes in the films is owned by DreamWorks and is routinely displayed at car shows, drag races and the like. In the animated series, Optimus transformed into a cab over engine Kenilworth.
