Interesting little video. I bet those guys were pretty excited to get away from the normal hum-drum of the work day. And at least it will be real military aircraft and not some CG hack job of planes that don't even exist.

I would like to see what the robots would look like in live-action. I bet they're CGI. However, According to Wikipedia, Optimus's faceplate will obviously be a mouth.

Let me guess. His mouth will be similar to this (Look at the blue thing on his face to see what I'm talking about).

Now I want to go see the movie, for them to post it on the United States Air Force's official website is something too good out there.

I thought it's about the Autobots fighting against the Decepticons.

The Decepticons are evil robots from the same planet the Autobots are from and Megatron is perhaps the leader of the Decepticons.

For that answer, it'd need to be "and what is this planet called?". You're obviously missing the sarcasm from Nagisa's original post.

Well then you should also look at that Same Optimus Prime in Super Mode:



You see he has a Face Plate like G1 Prime,Heck If I'm right Every Prime had a Face Plate(Starting in Beasties/Beast Wars Primal had a Mouth but he also had a Face Plate).

Riyousha, the Decepticons (as well as the Autobots, but whatever) just happen to be giant robots from outer space. Therefore, are we not fighting against giant robot from outer space?

Geez. Rolling Eyes

The US Air Forces mission is not to fight giant robots from outer space? Get it. Wink

Nagisa (and A7) were trying to point this out before confusion occured.
