The first trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers starring Shia LaBeouf played off an alien robot encounter during a NASA rover mission on Mars that was quickly covered up and buried by the government. For the third and final Transformers film by Bay, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, a leaked announcement trailer description reveals that Bay and company are using that first film’s sneak peek to reveal the bookend series finale.
Italian movie website Badtaste describes the Transformers 3 announcement trailer as starting by cutting between footage of NASA’s control room and the Apollo 11 moon landing. As with the Transformers first trailer all is not as it seems on this mission when the control room proclaims “we are not alone” after the astronauts secretively journey to the dark side of the moon. The trailer then shows a couple quick glimpses of Transformer robots as the camera zoom into one of their eyes and into their body, revealing the Transformer is kicking back to life.
Michael Bay has promised we should expect to see this Transformers: Dark of the Moon trailer online as early as next week. In the meantime, reminisce with the original Transformers announcement trailer below.
