Oooh lookit that! The eye is just like a human one, with all the connectors and the lense and the shutter as an eye-lid even! :D

Hmm... who's eye could it be? It's got a blue tone... First that comes to mind is Megatron, but I think it may actually be Optimus.

The text-logo is pretty good, a throwback to the original, but I think it could have used some more colour other than worn iron.

The website has some music in the flash-animation too! Listen it out, it's not bad at all.
May very well be the first few tunes before the theme breaks out into an orchestral version of "More than meets the Eye".

Cool.

The tagline isn't cringeworthy, which helps too.

On an angle.

EDIT:

Just glancing on IMDB, and Amaury Nolasco is credited, but without a character name.

Likely that he's going to be one of the rank&file Autobots, say Bumblebee?

Jamie McBride, IMDB bio says ex-police officer. Brawl?

Love the detail on the eye - splendid... Do you think the guy who worked on War of the Worlds posters did this too...

I don't know who Amaury Nolasco is. Tony Danza should do Starscream's voice.

According to Nevermore at TFA it's referring to the first teaser trailer release on July 4 2006.

Actually a pocket terminator is a little stress relief gadget from the 80's that emits video game zapping sounds. The jist is you aim it at your stress target and pretend that you just zapped it or bombed it. A fusion cannon SFX woulda been smurfy.

ANyhoo, MY pocket terminator actually has a laser. So, that Screamer hater back there now has a hole in his caboose!

Ah, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm telling myself the movie will fail miserably, so that I'd be pleasantly suprised if it'll be good .

And if it'll suck, I can come back saying 'told you so'. :p

That's the logical approach...
