Who is this guy?
Well at long last, the trailer has been posted and we can see it! So Michael Bay’s Transformers films will come full circle and end how they began – riffing off real-life space missions and twisting them to fit into the Transformers Universe. This time we go back to the mission to land the first man on the moon, Apollo 11. I encourage you to learn a bit about the mission by checking out the wiki page.
The only majorly interesting bit we get to see is a full upper-torso shot of yellow or golden Autobot which appears to be confined in the ship. This may just be a random bot but the attention to the design of the face and body lead me to believe this is at least a named character. My first guess is Alpha Trion, as I feel the Autobot looks a bit on the weathered side. Completely an off the cuff guess by yours truly. I call him an Autobot due to the blue glow of his eye ball.
And they tried to tell us Transformers didn't need ships in this universe!
We are also treated to an incredibly complex take on the Transforming logo ala the first teaser trailer. Stylistically, it appears this 3rd film will be taking some cues from the first. Let’s hope that trend continues!
Of course big time fans are going to complain that there are too many humans, but it’s just a teaser. We’ll get some more of the juicy stuff sooner than later. So far, I like what I see and I hope this really is the big finale that I’ve been hoping for!
Just saw the Transformers: Dark of the Moon teaser trailer. Amazing. Was that supposed to be Alpha Trion? Unicron (although tiny)?
I can almost guarantee this is a shrunk down version of Unicron. Alpha Trion was already revealed to have died in the second movie. Alpha Trion in the animated continuity was one of the original 13 Transformers. In the movie continuity however, it was the 7 ‘Primes’ instead; who were the original transformers. And 6 of them sacrificed their lives and bodies to protect and hide the tomb of the Sun Harvester to keep Megatronous Prime (otherwise known as The Fallen) from obtaining the Sun Harester millions of years prior. Therefore Alpha Trion would already be dead.
Your guarantee isn’t worth the pixels it was written on.
When was Alpha Trion even MENTIONED in Revenge of the Fallen? I would be somewhat appalled if that yellow bot is meant to be Unicron.
to Gareth Allix : Thas was not Alpha Trion in second movie. It was Jetfire dude!!. Checkout at wikipedia.
I would suggest it as the robots name is FORSOOTH: Unicron II. Nope… It is
a YELLOW alpha trion! It is Alpha but he is yellow in Transformers III.
Alpha Trion Awakened.
Its not alpha… its sentinal prime. The prime before optimus. He was yellow.
Its Sentinal prime. Google him. Perfect match!
its sentinel prime. a security guard said so
probably unicron…
cuz in animated alpha trion colour is red and white…
The bot, who is indeed an autobot is Sentinel Prime. Sentinel Prime is Optimus Prime’s predecessor (specifically the last leader before Optimus) of the leader of the autobots. He is in his ship “The Ark”. He was mentioned in Revenge of the Fallen in Sam’s ramblings while in the trance induced by the all-spark sliver.
This is Sentinel Prime, they already made the toy, and the ship is called the Ark.
its too small to be unicron if you remember the original g1 series unicron was the size of a planet and ate planets and im with ya on that one it is the ark jez they should of just made BEAST WARS
nope unicron was huge like bigger than a planet and he ate planets so think about it. its one of the 13 original primes and the ark shit they should of just made BEAST WARS
