It's great seeing the old style back into a present medium, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Hey I am watching the movie right now what a coincidence. I just realized that Megan Fox's character has nothing to do with the plot but damn... when she run in slow mo. She is such a great part of the story! <3 <3 <3

That actually looks very impressive. Not a low budget movie spin off game, more in the likes of Batman Arkham Asylum territory.

Hopefully this turns out to be the Arkham Asylum of Transformer games.

If these are gameplay elements, it sort of looks like a Twisted Metal / Armored Core fusion.

They were always cars, or planes, or dinosaurs... even though you might say cars are made by earthmen, really why are they in humanoid form either then? So not to take away from "the history", but they were toys... Their nature was that they transformed to make them more fun, so it had nothing to do with Earth that they transformed, they always were transformers... I guess "robots in disguise" is the Earth part, because they could hide here; but the "more than meets the eye" is what they were, not just robots, but vehicles as well. Like we walk around as humans, but we need cars to go around farther and faster; so they walk around on legs as well but if they need to get someplace fast then they need a "ride" too, its just they are the ride... Anyway  a four wheeled machine is really the most basic vehicle any planet could make, or a 2 winged plane, its not that far fetched that they had similar ideas.... Maybe we got the car idea from some Autobot space broadcasts? but most importantly remember they were toys...

@FunExplosions:
If it got anywhere near the standard of Arkham Asylum, it would be astonishingly good for a 'film to game' game (okay, not movie first but that's basically what it's based off).

Wait a second... Was Optimus Prime a car in that trailer?? Dude, fail. That's THING ONE on the list of how-to-make-something-Transformers-Related: Optimus Prime is a truck. End of discussion!

The reason he's a truck on earth is because hes blending in with human vehicles.  On Cybertron, hes just a big vehicle.
 
The one thing on a list of how to make a comment is to think. End of discussion.

The graphics look solid. Hells of solid. Completely disproportionate to what I, and probably most people would expect from a Transformers game.
 
I didn't really grow up with Transformers (though they were still popular) but this trailer did it's job pretty effectively for me.
