    Default Don't show us anything else.

    After seeing the great trailer, I don't need to see anything new before the movie opens. At this point, I've seen so many stills and clips and setups that I'm a little worried that I've seen too much. I like being surprised. And I realize that seeing all of it was my choice, but I draw a distinction between looking at stuff that makes me excited (everything up to this point) and looking at stuff that gives the movie away (everything from this point forward).

    Putting clips and such on the internet is fine, because you have to choose to watch those. But when I'm watching tv, I don't get much of a choice; my reflexes aren't always that fast.

    So here's my humble request to Bay; don't show us anything else new. What has been shown is more than enough to sell this movie; what has been shown is unlike anything anyone has seen before; that alone is enough.

    I agree with Ed.

    But Paramount will end up showing everything away on the TV spots like they did the first time around.

    I don't think so Nelson, MB has hold allot till now, MB has control, this time around, he made them good profit on first TF, so MB told Paramount, step that fuck back, and let me, make you more profit.

    Thumbs up Re: Don't show us anything else.

    I would like to join this "petition"... i think that we've seen enough about the movie to fill the forum with topics until it's on the big screen.

    The only thing that i would like to see released would be some renders of the bots (only the ones that are confirmed) so we could all get some awesome wallpapers for our desktops... my current jetfire-with-fire-coming-out-of-his-behind wallpaper is a little blury.

    I'm with Ed and I'm glad I'm not the only one with that thought process.
    Freedom of speech is great and all, but say it polite or don't say it at all.
    I like ROTF and TF1.
    I like The Twins.

    I agree with Ed. Remember what Bay said? "I am sick of seeing a trailer that gives away the story and when you see a movie you know what happens"(paraphrasing)
    Personally, I seriously didn't think they would show story points. They should NEVER EVER have shown the fact that Sam starts to go crazy like his great-great-grandfather!!!

    I would love a small featurette of the guys working on Devastator. He is so complex, the CGI team must be exhausted. Hope they include the making of devastator or something on the Blu-ray when it is released.

    Here you have a few captures from the Showest clip, 1920x1080 resolution, that you can edit to create your own wallpaper.

    I used the one with Megan straddling the chopper on Thursday, and I must say, I'm good.

    I´m also with Ed on this one. I wanted to see Soundwave so bad, but after seeing Long Haul in particular I´m happy. I KNOW Soundwave is gonna blow my mind.... I can feel it. Seeing Long haul at the bottom of the ocean gave me goose bumps. He looks SO cool!

    I basically quit watching the trailers after the 1st teaser came out at the Super Bowl. I already knew I was gonna enjoy TF2 considering how much I enjoyed the first movie.

    It used to be that the trailers were just meant to get the word out/advertise about the upcoming flick,yet we already know about it. So rather than watching everything and looking for all the info on in I just go about my life and count down on the calendar til the movie comes out.

    All I really wanted was that 1st trailer and a few pics of the vehicles. I haven't even seen trailers 2 or 3. Don't need to ,it would tell too much and ruin part of it for me.

    Agreed. Thanks anyhow for showing us the awesome trailers Bay, but this is more than enough

    I kind of didn't want to see it because of all the stupid threads people started on 'oh, I seen this and I noticed that' bs. No offense people, but it can really spoil it for someone else.

    Can you imagine how anti-climatic it would have been had they released the arrival on Earth scene for the first film online first? You have to hold stuff back to make a bigger impact on the audience, especially the fans.
    They call me Ratchet Girl for a reason. Sometimes Skids girl.

    I think they should still tease us with some commercials featuring the Twins, sideswipe, Jetfire and especially soundwave, what will entice more people to see the movie than to get a glimpse of how awesome soundwave will look, granted the #1 reason Transformer #1 did so well at the box office was word of mouth, but if you give people a small glimpse of the new bots, they will come in flocks, and I do predict it will easily break 1 Billion worldwide.

    Hmm... So far the trailers have given us Demolishor, Prime, Blackout, Megatron, Starscream, Sideways, Bumblebee, Jetfire, The Fallen, Devastator, Long Haul, Rampage, Chromia, Mixmaster, Skids, Mudflap, Scorponoc and a bunch of unidentified bots, and you´re saying thst isn´t enough?
    You just wanna see Soundwave and so do I. But I wanna see him on the big screen where he belongs.
    Oh, and I doubt that the general audience will come in flocks just because they get a one second glimpse of Soundwave btw. The other bots will appeal to ppl as well.. Soundwave is just a fanboy thing, and they´re doin the right thing hiding him from us all until premiere night.

    Unfortunately, I suppose there are still TV-shots to come... I just hope they don´t sell the cake before it is baked this time.

    You can add to the list Ratchet, Ironhide, Jolt and Sideswipe. Now that's a whole lot of bots !
