Hey! I just figured out the next TRANSFORMERS trailer - get me Bay's number

[Zoidberg]

You know how the first trailer was the bit with the rover on Mars, and it gets the crap kicked out of it by a Decepticon? (Of course it's a Decepticon, an Autobot wouldn't do that, eh?)

Okay, there's the NASA guys, and they're poring over the data from the lost probe we saw in the first trailer. They start reviewing aerial imagery from a new higher resolution probe; someone starts talking about some "massive dust storms" that have swept over the area... coming up on grid < whatever >... yeah, that's where that rock formation that everyone thought was a face was remember... wait... what's that...

And then the picture is refocused and clarified by the computer -- and the rock formation, which always looked like a face of sorts, becomes the TRANSFORMER logo face. (cut to dramatic drum/battle music and logo)



EDIT: fwiw, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_on_mars

Nice theory.

The sad part is upon further focus they also found a bunch of big box stores, McDonald's and other fast food joint already up there.

Sixteen Starbucks™ and five hundred Krispy Kreme locations, which is what happened to the Martian population -- they died of cholesterol. Indeed, a lesson to be learned.

Global warming.
They used up all the fossil fuels.
Sucked all the heat out of their molten iron core.
Lost all their magnetism.
The atmosphere blew away.

Their animal magnetism?

Planetary magnetism.
