Ooh, shiny!
As you all may or may not know (or care), next July, a new Transformers movie is coming out. Live action, even. This is really old news over here in the fandom, of course. (It is all I can do to not laugh when people, after discovering I like TF, immediately go, "omg did you know there's a new movie coming out, then?! I bet you didn't!" Guys, I knew there was a movie before the announcement was aired as a preview with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.)
Anyway, today they launched the first official trailer, and I have finally stopped watching and rewatching and squee-ing over it long enough to catch my breath and eat dinner.
It is pretty, oh yes. Shiny. Robots of doom. I wonder how many of the people complaining loudly about how stupid the movie designs all look have started backpedaling. Bwaha. Okay, we didn't see much, but eee! We did see Prime and Bumblebee, and Ratchet rolled by, and, and, and Decepticons ohgodyes.
I can make it all the way to the explosion with flying tanks before breaking into an Insane Grin of Fannish GleeTM. And the little girl at the end! I love how she's just like, "oh, hey, there's a giant robot climbing outta my pool. ...That's neat." (ALSO that scene is kind of creepy because, for whatever reason, it just looks way too real to me.)
Also, the scene outside with the "helicopter"/Blackout where that one guy's face flickers is just so wonderful and kind of creepy but awesome and just yes. And jets! Jets in the city! The Scorponok and his wonderful and oddly cute googly eyes! They should not be cute! He is a giant DEATH MACHINE and he is coming to KILL YOU. Plus, Prime's transformation, and the facemasks sliding down that way, and WHAT DID THAT BUS EVER DO TO YOU and also who is that who climbs out of the pool, anyway? Do we even know?
And. And. .... and!! *fanplosion*
(Also, hey there, fanservice! "takara83"? My Little Pony toy? hee - nice touches, there, guys, really.)
THOUGH, OKAY. Bumblebee is yellow with black stripes and not a VW bug in the movie and it just keeps confusing me because the Sunstreaker Alt toy is yellow with black stripes, so I'll see sports car 'Bee outta the corner of my eye or something and be all like "OMG WHAT since when was Sunny in this?! :D" and then I'll remember, uh, right, he's not, and then I'll be all sad. Fortunately, those moments pass quickly, because I am distracted by the rest of the trailer (or whatever I'm looking at that has Bumblebee in it).
Obviously, I've no idea if the story itself will be good, but there is no way it will not be gorgeous. (Helps, of course, that they're not going the complete CGI route.) Why is it not July yet? omg. *squees*
My apologies to anyone who looks at this post and can only see, "robots robots robots robots robots robots robots." You don't know what you're missing. (Go here and correct this now.)
