"Okay cat is out of the bag. Megatron is back ---- but you will only get to see him from the long lost past. We go way back in time as this movie explains the mythology of the Primes. He is not a tank like everyone suggests, but an alien vehicle. But sadly he does not has much screen time."

Seriously...the dude should never play poker. I highly doubt Hasbro would release a new Megatron toy that has the alt-mode of a tank...much less make it so very detailed if Megatron is only a cameo character.

1.if it's WAY back in time,how does his robot mode appear so different?(you could say "he reformatted",but how would he reformat into a cybertronian vehicle?)
2.how is he holding down sam in the middle of a freeway?(unless sam is 10 billion years old!)
3.you've made 3 toys of him(legend,fab,and leader) and you say he only appears for a little while?(that's bad marketing)
4.if he only appears in the past,how does starscream's bio say that he brings megatron back?
5.why the hell did hugo weaving confirm his ressurection has something to do with that smallspark?

And considering the well recognizable gimp hand of Megs returning hide is in the trailer restraining Sam, well, unless they're getting into time travel, this Bayshit claim of "you will only get to see him from the long lost past" is about as honest as "he won't be in the movie".
Cullen-on-a-bike, I'm so happy if so many fans dig Bay's Transformers and if Bay fans love his films so much, and if he's some powerhouse of movie making talent in the eyes of so many, but maybe he could just STFU for a while on the lying? Can we have that? Just silence instead of bs?

You know that would have better acting, music, and entertainment value than any crap Hollywood could EVER put out.

that's the smoking gun for me right there. As far as him not being in the film that much;Megatron could be dead for most of the movie and that scene could be the very end where we'd have a cliff hanger type ending where we'll have to wait till the next one to see what happens to Sam.

that would suck more than alien 3 and alien ressurection combined

1.if it's WAY back in time,how does his robot mode appear so different?(you could say "he reformatted",but how would he reformat into a cybertronian vehicle?)
Marketing, and the fact Hasbro doesn't want to lose the Megatron name. Besides, outside of a breif glimps of the hand, we really haven't seen a screen shot of Megatron in this film.
2.how is he holding down sam in the middle of a freeway?(unless sam is 10 billion years old!)
Vision. Dream. Continued attempts at misdirection by the director.
3.you've made 3 toys of him(legend,fab,and leader) and you say he only appears for a little while?(that's bad marketing)
Again, it could be because Hasbro doesn't want to lose its copyrights on the name.
4.if he only appears in the past,how does starscream's bio say that he brings megatron back?
It's been a LONG Transformers tradition that the bios on the toys don't usually match with what we see in the movies or TV series.
Besides, think about this: why would Starscream of all Decepticons want Megatron back. Soundwave maybe, but Starscream?
5.why the hell did hugo weaving confirm his ressurection has something to do with that smallspark?
Misdirection again? Or maybe the smallspark is what is responsible for Sam's vision. The whole movie will make things more clear.

With all the crap Bay is spewing, I'm sure there's no difference between his butthole and his mouth.

Why can't we just wait for the movie and judge it then, rather than speculate on what's gonna happen and judge it now with only about 3 minutes worth of footage and a dozen or so toys to go by.

Anyway, anyone agree with the picture? Megs' legs? I went and saw Friday the 13 and noticed the legs on the big screen, even after watching the trailer hundreds of times.

theres just too much that doesnt make sense in his post. if its in the past why's he a tank instead of a cybertronian jet?
if its only a flashback why spend a fortune desiging a whole new look when the flash back in the FIRST film clearly shows him in the form he had in the first film?
megs is back, we all know it so he should just come clean. TBH i just hope we dont end up with too many villains. loads of troops is ok but two many big bads has scuttled many a film.

As for the figures, Well, we all know Brawl/Devastator didn't have that much screen time and He got figures in almost every class last time around...
Posted by JaZzTaStIc on March 6th, 2009 @ 7:51am CST
for a start his box bio says otherwise
plus hes seen so many times in the trailer, bays just trying to divert us again. he can't cover it up anymore so he'll twist it.
we see through ur lies now boi
Posted by jaws on March 6th, 2009 @ 7:54am CST
I think he has something to do with the imprisonment of The Fallen in the pyramid. Maybe he brought The Fallen to Earth way before the AllSpark was lost.

Yep... can't believe a word Bay says. Or, more like "Yeah, Bay... I'll believe it when I see it in ROTF."
Posted by Seraphium Prime on March 6th, 2009 @ 12:04pm CST
they wont, has everyone forgotten that they produce the animated toy line?
they have megs name there, so they wont lose it if they dont produce a megs toy for ROTF.
oh mr. bay why do you lie so much?
haha.

Because its gets every forum fanboy worked up and talking about him and his movie.
Things that make you go hmmm........

Yup. It's got nothing to do with him thinking by lying continuosly that he's actually keeping a secret (badly), it's all about him trying to keep those pesky fanboys (ie you, me, everyone that posts on a message board about TFs) buzzed about the film, because if he kept quiet none of us would ever talk about anything regarding the film, and if he actually chose to do reveals himself occasionally (without lying, that is) it wouldn't generate a bit of hype in the fandom at all. Nope, none.
Posted by Robinson on March 6th, 2009 @ 6:56pm CST
I'd rather him say something is not as it is, then see the movie, and say "oh you sly devil"
Posted by Covenant on March 6th, 2009 @ 8:48pm CST
And I'd prefer he just clam up over this constant & very crappily done bs'ing he's been about from the start.

You know you guys can ignore the Movie news if you want. I mean you don't have to put it up for all to see, you can see it's a movie news item and go past it.
Nobody wants Bay to give the whole movie away, or even much of it. He claims what has been said, seen, and shared is not very important to the movie at all, and is not the MAIN or MOST important, or most exciting so maybe we shouldn't worry.
Just don't say anything but teases, no reason to try to lead us falsely in another direction.

Agreed, I've seen the first movie enough times to recognize that hand/claw anywhere, and his leg in the background is a pretty big give away too. He's gonna be back, and most likely more powerful than before with the Allspark stuck in 'im.
