Video: Transformers Dark of the Moon trailer

Fans of the Transformers films are still mourning the loss of the beautiful Megan Fox as the actress has decided against being a part of the series any longer, but the show must go on so today we bring you the first trailer for the third installment: Transformers Dark of the Moon.

The plot of the movie can be summed up using the synopsis of the book with the same title: “The Autobots Bumblebee, RatchetRatchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009’s ‘Transformers Revenge of the Fallen’. In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There’s new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime ‘Transformers’ character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth.”

Transformers Dark of the Moon begins on July 20th, 1969, the day a human first set foot on another celestial body for the first time, but also the day when we realized that we were not alone in the universe. That part of the movie is actually fact, but whatever happens next will be sensationally fictional, but we’ll have to wait until July 1st, 2011 to find out what that is. And by the way, the movie will be offered in 3D.
