If we have Galvatron, does that mean... Unicron?
My knowledge stops with Transformers: The Movie, so I dunno if they've changed the whole Galvatron origin in later stuff.
Galvatron is not linked to Megatron or Unicron in anyway other than in the 1986 movie and kind of series 3 although it was never referred to again...and I hope that this is the angle they take if he's in it properly.
I prefer the idea of Galvatron being just Galvatron. The point of Galvatron is that he is completely insane. Megatron is bad, but he respects Optimus, he isn't mindlessly evil and is fighting for a cause he believes in.
Galvatron is crazier, more evil and is there purely to bring chaos.
As a massive Transformers fan, I do not enjoy the Bay films as Transformers films. However, as some mindless action of giant robots fighting each other then they are decent enough. All 3 have about 1 hours worth of unbearable material with horrific acting but otherwise the rest of the movies are actually decent.
I was hoping for a proper reboot here but looks to just be along the same lines.
At least with Wahlberg in they shouldn't have all that silly teenage college humour in and maybe there are less irritating scenes throughout. Fingers crossed. But it is meant to appeal to a young audience of males so we can still expect some putrile garbage to be thrown in for them.
If I was a 6 year old boy, I'd still be insulted that they thought I was immature enough to enjoy the humour in these. lol
Me and my wife will still go and see this. We both admit that we shouldn't, but we equally know that we love Transformers too much to miss it. I'll even buy the bluray as I did the other 3.
So I can't really complain too much when I'm contributing towards their success
Looks really weird, Prime is now a deactivated wreck being sold for scrap? They better have one hell of an explanation for that and not some 5 second piece of gibberish that essentially just glosses over it given the events of the previous movies.

The trailer made it pretty obvious.
Btw you can see most of the characters already as the toys have all been displayed. Galvatron and Lockdown are both there.
One does not put Prime in a scrap yard.
I did like the throw back to the 80's cartoon with the truck shape however.
Still can't beat the animated movie.

i did not really enjoy the bay movies. good action but the plot and acting is shambles.
i would have liked christopher nolan to do the next transformer movie as he will create a good decent plot and cast to it because thats all that is missing for this franchise

You know, despite me not really counting these as part of the Transformers franchise, I still can't understand why they just use incorrect characters.
I understand why they have altered the names of some Dinobots because let's be honest, the original names were awful.
But why use one of the Technobots (Strafe) instead of Swoop? And make him look more like Sinnertwin, one of the Terrorcons.
It just makes no sense - just make up a random name if you want to change the name.
I do like the look of Drift, although he would certainly look cooler in his original white but he still looks badass as he should be.
They seem to have downsized Unicron but at least he's still munching planets and Galvatron looks good from the brief shot shown.
Of all the G1 transformers, Grimlock and the Dinobots probably suit the design of these movies the most without too many changes and I assume they are on the equivilent of Dinobot Island where Prime goes to seek their help.
I'm pleased Grimlock fights Prime because he is stupid and arrogant and it takes him a while to respect Prime in the cartoon as Grimlock thinks he is the strongest.
So from what I can see, it 'should' be better than the original trilogy for fans but we've only seen snipets so I'm sure there will be plenty in there to mess up that prediction

It's a soft reboot. Events in the first three films have a bearing on the world the characters inhabit and they've kept certain characters (like Optimus and BB) but the human cast has been changed completely so while it's TF4, it's really the start of a new series.
We have Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to look forward to after this...

Thing is the sunsets are incredible. As are the highways and all that rock/scenery.
Unicron is not in this movie in any incarnation... maybe they will use that kind of story for 5 and 6 but any talk of him being in this film are false.
The reason the assumption is being made is the trailer shows a large ship hoovering up stuff over a city and people seem to think this is unicron. I think maybe some mention might be made in the end credits but seeing as Bay is leaving after this one and a new Director will be coming in i cant see him trying to hint at the next instalmment.
