First promo poster for TF4?

[colin78]

Hey everyone, I found this online, and thought I'd share... Seeing as the movie is 2 years away and there isn't a thread for it, i thought here was as close as I'd get...

I just saw that too and was going to post it.

Some context (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/06/19/first-poster-and-tagline-for-transformers-4/)

It used to be easy, busting fake posters because the photoshop was so bad. Now, it’s often only as bad as the real posters.

Below is, purportedly, the first poster for Transformers 4. Cine1 (http://www.cine1.com.ar/2012/06/poster-provisional-de-transformers-4.html) are calling it provisional. Last time that site put out some unexpected posters, in that case for Wreck it Ralph, they turned out to be very real. Indeed, they seem to be quite reputable…

…but are Paramount really having Transformers 4 marketing materials issued already? Perhaps they’re getting the designs drawn up in time for Comic Con.

Evil will burn = Every single Decepticon getting destroyed by Optimus without putting up a fight

Looks fake. Just doesn't fit. Especially when the movie is two years away.

Not necessarily.
They were promoting the 2007 movie at the 2005 (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/555341-uh-transformers-movie.html#post7344663) SDCC (http://tformers.com/transformers-sdcc-first-look-at-cybertron-alternators/4792/news.html).... so it wouldn't be new to have them teasing 2 years early.
The sooner they can get people speculating/talking about the project, the longer they have to get it stuck in people's minds before it comes out.

"Twisted Firestarter" nice touch. :)

even if this is official, it may not reflect much of a movie that isn't due for another two years.

I'm going to take this with a grain of salt but really, it's a 'teaser' poster that gives nothing away so it could be legit or fake - doesn't really matter.

Heh thats what I thought - Optimus on some sort energon fueled rampage ...... but it doesn't seem like a very Optimus thing to say.

The only thing its giving away (if its real) is that Optimus will still look the same as in the other movies.:(

Like others have said, fake or not, it matters little. We know it's happening anyway, so teasers are exactly that, and also mentioned by others, often people are teased with material that don't make the final cut. So even if it is official, that grain of salt will still come in handy. I guess Ratchet fixed Primes arm up nicely though, unless it's an 'inbetween' movie (between 1&2 or 2&3)? Can't really be a prequel because Prime wasn't a truck until half an hour or so into Movie 1. The overall feel and caption seems a lil' sinister for ol' Prime, but then again, many franchises beginning 'safe' gradually get darker as their young audiences mature (Harry Potter for example).

2 cents spent.

Using the existing movie OP design gives me hope that TF4 will be in the same continuity as TF1~DOTM, which I hope it will be. Because if Michael Bay has any pride in his work, he ought to continue from what he's already made.

Bumblebee starts having 'wet' dreams?

Btw haven't seen you post in ages man, nice to see you're back

I think the dark, callus, anti-hero Optimus Prime Michael Bay gave us in TF2 (and TF3), makes this sort of poster about right for how he perceives Optimus.

ditto

[Sky Shadow]

A meaningless poster either way - does anyone doubt that the fourth film will feature Optimus Prime and that he'll be vengefully fighting evil in it? :rolleyes:

[griffin]

It's point was to get us to start talking about TF4 already, not tell us anything meaningful... so if it is a legit poster, it worked.

Long live Ratchet the ice-cream truck! Huzzah! ;)

It's so hard to tell if this is fake or not. It looks BLOODY well done to even be a fake. I'm not experienced when it comes to photoshop stuff, but when I look at this poster, it looks... VERY convincing, even if it is a teaser poster, it definitely isn't a final design.

I'm hoping he gets robot rabies and has to be put down.

I saw this promo as well and found it very promising.
Hope to see the movie soon....
