One Constructicon. We know because the toy for him was leaked prior to the teaser.

Usually, when people say this, it means that something isn't going to do well.

That would just make my summer if ROTF is the #1 blockbuster hit.

I Am very proud to be a Idahoan, I love this state. Mega-Butt can frag off, and I'm a GIRL!, Calling me a sir, the nerve of some people. But yes, I am a HUGE TF fan and I live In Idaho, and am proud of it. Glad to meet another Idahoan But, they are right, there is little to zero TF fans up here, when I went to see the movie when it came out, only 15 people showed up, this was the day it was released. People know what it is, but they just don't care. I'm so lonely! lol Ignore me. Long Live TF FAN GIRLS! (No I'm not the type of Fan girl people like taking hammers to >.> )

Sweet.
GI Joe #2? Didn't look that good to me.
The Mr. Potato Head one was hilarious.

devastator or just a constructicon
idk if this has been asked but from the looks of the toy what we saw in the trailer was just 1 of the 7 constructicons any one know or is it all just guessing

Eh, i'll call it on those
G.I.Joe will underperform ~ it'll have enough slick action that it won't bomb, but i doubt they get the franchise they're hoping for out of it.
Fast and Furious is PLAAAAAAAAAAAAYED out ~ it'll have a huge opening weekend, because the fans will come out for it then it'll drift off and be largely forgotten.
Angels & Demons ~ didn't the DiVinci Code ended up fairly disappointing at the Box Office? That teaser on the superbowl was totally un-engaging, i'd forgotten it even aired until you mentioned it…
and i grew up there!

Kickass trailers and teasers like that will hopefull lead to an awesome movie to OWN other so called "blockbuster summer flicks"!!

What does tax money and the government have to do with private media firms allied with advertisers researching viewer interest into their advertisements? Nothing.
Mega-con
You, sir, have wondered into the wrong forums. I believe this is what you looking for.
Optimus Prime
I think they may have generated a little bit of interest in this movie.

Hey hey hey! Watch it Bub! I'm from Idaho!
Mega-con
Is she Link's sister?

Who said it was tax dollars? I'm sure it's a private company that gets paid a good chunk of all those ridiculous advertising fees.

I'm stationed in Japan so we don't get Super Bowl commercials here. In fact cause of the time difference we see the game Monday morning. I was at work while everyone else was watching the game, which was fine cause I really don't care about fooooseball anyway… But sure as sh*t, I made sure I came here to see that ROTF trailer, and was NOT dissappointed! I can't watch vids at work (firewall), so I brought my laptop in after loading it, and couldn't stop hitting replay!!! All my co-workers were stoked too!
Way to go Bay!
Oh, and I just found out I'm deploying in April, so I get to be gone during its release, dammit!
Alexander Quinn
I'm stoked that it did so massively well, but it wigs me out that they can track things like this. I'm sure Big Brother needed to spend 57 trillion dollars in tax money to find out that Transformers trailers beat Pepsi ads 2 to 1.
Torque
wow, i havent laughed so hard in a loooooong time. though i know some people who said they never heard of it and i nearly fell over. then again, she does live in a different country, so who knows
SpinalCord
Yeah, there are a LOT of insane movies coming out.
G.I. Joe
Fast and Furious
Angels & Demons
It's gonna be a tough call.
Beastbot X
Hells yeah! Go Bay!
