Comparing Robots in Disguise

The upcoming Transformers movie has filled the general male populace (plus me) with bladder-bursting anticipation and dread. On one hand, the trailers have left us salivating at the prospect of an excellent adaptation. On the other, as with all cinematic adaptations there's invariably the possibility that all will go horribly wrong (i.e. Silent Hill). Only time -- and imdb.com -- will tell.

As a sort of starting course in what will be a veritable Transformers feast, here are the trailers from the 1986 and 2007 movies.

It's interesting to note that the movies' respective star power went from Eric Idle, Citizen Kane, Dr. Spock, and that guy in "Breakfast Club" to...Shia LaBeouf. But hey, Peter Cullen (a.k.a. God) is once again voicing Optimus Prime, ergo the coming movie will have to be awesome. It's the law. Such is the holy power of Cullen.
