Has anyone thought about Scourge? He certainly has the head sculpt. I can't assume that he's an Autobot because he doesn't have blue eyes. If you notice, he has a reddish tint to his eyes.

Actually, not they didn't. Archibald Witwicky stumbled across Megatron in 1898. The founding members of S7 didn't start the organization until 1913. It was a considerable amount of time after that (time frame varies depending on whether you go by the Movie or the prequel novel) before Megs was transported to the Hoover Dam facility.
As far as this orange guy waking up and the whole menacing "portent of doom"...all that means is that Bay's done his job. He and his crew have engineered a series of clips in such a way that every fanboy has been totally sucked in and worked into a frenzy. The actual clips, once shown in context with the rest of the movie in it's entirety, will mean exactly jack-diddly-squat in the grand scheme of things. Just like the Mars Rover clip from the first movie. Made to look all important in the previews but in the end it was nothing more than a 15 second snippet on Banachecks laptop for the Sec. of Def. to view. Not exactly a climactic plot point, was it? But hey, it sure as hell sucked in the Trans-Fans attention when it first came out. I have no intentions of letting my imagination linger any further on what the bot in the clip is because I have better things to do than let Mikey Bay and his crew mind-**** me for even one second. I would advise everyone else to take a similar approach. You all will be a lot happier in the long run. I've seen how a lot of you fans handle disappointment and all I can say is, damn, it ain't pretty!
Hadn't thought about it like that, but you're probably right ... it's probably a flashback to the before times of long long ago.

LMAO...ridiculous assumption.
Why is everyone coming up with such silly guesses?? I mean, c'mon guys...LOOK AT HIM. I think it's pretty damn obvious that he's a Prime! And Cascadia's post with the Prime Cybertronian symbol pretty much confirms that anyway...
So no Wreck-Gar, no Scourge, no Kup, no Prowl...and certainly no damn Unicron (that's just plain stupid, pointless and too much wishful thinking, sorry!).
A few of you mentioned that Optimus was the last of the Primes...but:
A: What if it was only BELIEVED that Optimus was the last? Maybe there's a whole new story behind this orange Prime's existence which will be unravelled in the movie...
B: T-Macksimus made a good point in his last post, where he says that this specific short orange Prime scene probably means JACK-ALL and probably won't even play a major roll in the movie...just like the Mars Rover clip in the first Transformers 1 teaser.
See, this is exactly what Michael Bay WANTS us to do - speculate, discuss and hype ourselves and eachother up until the movies actual release. It's a genius marketing and promotion strategy that most definitely works, by the looks of it...looool...
Let's not get too worked up over this anymore...but i'm still 200% sure that it's a Prime...and almost 99% sure that it's Sentinel Prime. There are just too many reasons and similarities that support it, which make it obvious, if you ask me..

THIS. I uploaded the trailer, and every one sems to think it's Alpha Trion or Unicron. How in f*ks name could that be Unicron? In all honesty, I would love to see a live action Unicron, but just...no. That's not him, its stupid! The only thing that resembles Alpha Trion is those spikes on his head, and his broad shoulders. Everything else resembles Sentinal Prime. He is definately a Prime. He has the same nose as Optimus, he has the same antene as Optimus and everything. IT IS A PRIME BY DAMNIT!!!

What if he is a good guy with a dark side that shows? Kinda like Two-Face in Batman? Maybe its a TF completely unknown to us all. Like Michael Bay did with that Mountain Dew TF in the first movie.

And you don't seem open to the notion that this particular robot is offline. To Optimus and Co. he may be PRESUMED dead because he disappeared, contact lost when he crashed on the moon.
Not only that, this is the entertainment industry, dead doesn't always = permanent. Optimus was dead after all ...

Not to mention Megatron, who was reactivated and remodelled under 5 seconds.

Can you imagine if Prime died again? "oh, he died in the last movie, thats right, he'll be back" (-Anticlimax! lol)
Heres hoping they have completely left the Unicron story alone (As much as I'd love to see it I just know it couldn't be done justice), this new bot is some sort of relation to Prime (on a side note, it always pissed me off that Prime didn't inherit the Matrix of Leadership [to my knowledge] from a previous Prime)And as a previous post noted, this small ammount of information will probably mean exactly nothing when the movie finally rolls out!
Bring on July 1

The bold is exactly what I was thinking, it's an effective and easy way to dodge continuity issues.

I'm leaning towards ALpha Trion. That was my first impression as well. But Sentinel Prime has been a name mentioned...it definitely has an older look and, if someone with Photoshop could recolor it, could look an awful lot like Alpha Trion. It would also gel with some of the rumors that say one of the new Autobots was Optimus Prime's "father".
My guess it's Alpha Trion too.

What about Unicron? He's got the right color and the moustache for it. And the first time they showed him before the above picture, I could swear I saw those wing things he has.

Don't be silly. We've chewed through that one a thousand times over already. Sometimes it helps to read previous posts before you comment!!!
Why the hell would a stupendously big-ass robot the size of a planet be captured in a ship??? Especially one that undismissably looks like a Prime. Doesn't take a scientist to work that one out...
So many people in here are quick to throw stupid, mindless suggestions out into the open without thinking logically beforehand...SMH!!!

Hey, Cool down!, He has right to his opinion!
It looks similar, but then the scale won't fit. Unicron is usually planet-sized, this one fits in a ship.
Tough if he IS a Dark God, The God of Destruction, THEN he doesn't have to be Humongous to be divine. He might be like The Fallen was: Prime-sized and infinitive power.

Dude, seriously, chill out. Simply because you don't agree with someone's opinion doesn't make it stupid. This is ALL speculation on our parts. No one has any more of an accurate guess than the next person, because it's all conjecture at this point.
Besides, how does the guy look "like a Prime" when aside from Optimus, the other Primes all resembled the body and head sculpts of the Fallen? The guy in the ship doesn't share the familial resemblance. Sure, he could be a Prime, but he could not be, and until we know, try not to bash other people for simply sharing their ideas here. It doesn't add anything to the discussion.

Ergo, I don't want to get to excited but I did love how they tied the story into the Apollo moon landing. The moon landing was just a cover up? Awesome!!
Anyway this is my first post since Feb, cause like I said my 'spark' had gone dim on TF's for awhile.

Well, it's true. It's stupid to think that a gian planet sized robot could fit in a ship on the moon.

Because it's not Unicron. There is no way in ass Bay would be clueless enough to put a giant planet sized robot in a ship on the moon.
