The first teaser trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon was released on December 8, 2010, and portrayed the first moon landing of Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969, suggesting that the mission was fueled by the U.S. government to secretly discover what lay on the “dark side of the moon.” As the NASA astronauts undergo their secret mission to probe the dark side of the moon, away from prying eyes, they find a damaged ship. A Transformer is enclosed inside, damaged but still operational.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwTvF2pEgn8http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/12/08/watch-first-teaser-trailer-for-transformers-dark-of-the-moon/

"All will be revealed (we think) when "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" hits theaters on July 1, 2011 -- or when the full trailer hits. But until then, there's plenty to debate and to be excited about. After a lackluster second installment, it looks like Bay is getting back to basics with a flick that will explore the Transformers' origins in more depth and flesh out the series mythology in a (hopefully) more coherent manner than "Revenge of the Fallen."—Tom DiChiara of MTVhttp://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/12/09/transformers-dark-of-the-moon-teaser-trailer/
