I only watched for the advertisement…

Superbowl XLV… Oh yeah! Most watch for the game, but some watch for the commercials. And what a series of commercials they were. The most famous one would be the Volkswagen-Starwars ad. But, I was watching for something else. Yep, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.


I’ll run a re-cap… mind you… Spoilers!

  • Trailer starts with Chicago under attack by the Decepticon troops. The troops belong to Shockwave it seems. New leader and even Megatron is on the run. On the right side of the screen we see a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle driving towards the war zone.
  • Sure enough, inside it we see Sam Witwicky observing the mass destruction. The driver is Epps as I heard.
  • Then we see N.E.S.T soldiers skydiving to the battlezone. In the background, buildings are crumbling down to earth. Chicago is facing doom.
  • Ironhide is then seen colliding with two Dreads and all three of them transforming in mid-air. Dreads are Megatron’s minion. Those dudes are scary as hell. These assassins take on a Chevrolet SUV vehicle form.
  • Bumblebee is moaning in despair. Something terrible has happened or happening. We see a massive Decepticon Airship up in the sky. Very dramatic.
  • At dusk… Decepticons begins the assault against Chicago. The city is showered by missiles.
  • Then we see some sort of a Drillbot tearing the Chicago  streets apart. It is unknown, who or what this is.
  • Laserbeak descending onto a car. It is rumored that Simmons is inside the car and gets crippled as a result of the attack.
  • Sam and Epps on the ground. Optimus is standing not too far behind.
  • Carly is witnessing something horrific apparently. Behind her, devastation is in full motion.
  • Next we see the most awesome part of the trailer. Optimus Prime all suited-up in an armor Jet is arriving at a battle scene. Bottom left we see Ratchet setting fire to a Decepticon while Bumblebee is shooting at someone. Far to the right Brawl is seen and… Shockwave.
  • Optimus Prime lands on the ground, ditches the Jet, shoots at Long Haul, stabs Sideways and eventually cut a Decepticon in half.

All this happens in a short space of 30 seconds. Imagine how the movie is going to be. 

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, coming to theaters July 1st, 2011.
