Looks a bit like BIONICAL to me....
How Hasbro will ever make toys out of those is beyond me.

I'll still watch the movie but I'm sadly disappointed on how they did the robot forms....

On the contrary, after seen these pictures of the movie, it has boosted my interest to watch it on the very day the movie enters the cinema. Sure, for the traditional transformersfan the updated versions of the good old and evil transformers can be quite "too" futuristic for their taste. Well atleast... the story starts from the very beginning of the timeline which give them quite free hands to design the robots as long they has their special feature such as truck, tank or dinosaur. And avoid creating same irritation like Macross Zero did (The fighters were all more agile, more smooth designed and more devastating then the original VF we all come to love, you know... the "Tank" version of the VF-0; VF-1 ofcourse silly!)

I like the way they look, but I do agree that it was a sad day when they couldn't get Woltswagen permission to make Bumblebee in the new style Beetle. I can't wait to see this movie.

I am a Beast Wars fan myself, but I'll probably go out and see it. It'll probably be good for laughs at least.

They look too complicated...either that or just thrown together. Have you guys ever seen those acrobatic magnet things? Where the little metal figures stick together, kinda reminds me of that.

It reminds me of those japanese car commercials for Hyundai I think. My wife showed them to me and I thought they were pretty cool. It showed a car transform into a robot and then dance around. I f they can pull that off it might be pretty good.

Good news. The voice actors listed for Prime and Megatron are the voice actors from the original series.

I'm not a big fan of the transformer series (even if I was one back when I was a kid), but I would've loved to work on that movie.

That is NOT Transformers. It can't be! *Sob*
Are you sure it's not Starship Troopers?
