Here is an interesting video that analyzes a particular shot from the film that comes at about the halfway point. The video has Megatron voice Brian Tyree Henry talking about a scene from the movie with director Josh Cooley and some of what goes it a shot from camera angle to lighting. Basically its a reminder that details matter. It might be considered a spoiler but it should be somewhat familiar if seen any trailers or TV spots or aware of dynamic between Megatron and Starscream. Thanks to Feris O. for the link.

Transformers One Director Talks Approach to Film, Easter Eggs
I wanted to make sure that when a superfan saw this, they went, “Yes, that is correct. This feels right.” And then also having it be accessible to somebody who has no idea what Transformers is. If they were to come in fresh off the street, it’s still accessible to them as well.“Oh, this just doesn’t feel like Transformers.” So it was finding that balance as well with the tone and making sure it’s not just completely dark, but also not just completely making fun of itself or anything like that.Maybe because of the 1986 movie, but Hot Rod was never in my mind ever because I was like, “That’s not right.” But I will say that the movie was made by a crew of fans. And so there are characters that they put in the background and have been brought forward that I didn’t even realize were designed as characters, if that makes sense. ...Oh, it’d be really great if it could be one of these characters, if you want to choose one of them,” which is kind of a random, something that you’re familiar with. So there were times when it was story-based. Other times it was just playing for the fun of it.I’d say sometimes we had our lead animator, Stephen King at ILM, he’s a major, major Transformers fan. And so I would let him at times I’d just say, look, fill in this area with crowds, but bring forward anybody you want to bring forward in terms of the color or anything. And so I’d let him cast the characters that are getting kind of front-row shots. And so that’s all his love going out.

Transformers One Scoring Excellent Reviews
Transformers One Australian Premiere

Transformers One Jersey Stop Motion, Clip, TV Spot and Voice Work
The Transformers One promotional campaign continues with more TV spots and others things. The latest is below starting with a stop motion using Transformers One toys with three leads from the movie and three football players including Calvin "Megatron" Johnson. He said he was the first Megatron but should be noted he was born in 1985, Megs was created in 1984. Oddly Scarlett Johansson continues to sit out of all the promotional material that continues to be released for the movie outside of stuff clearly filmed on the same day they filmed her voice work probably over a year ago.
Aside from that, the second video is a clip of the team on a train trying to survive the changing terrain of Cybertron's surface, the third is a tease of the Optimus Prime vs Megatron fight and last is the four main leads doing some of their voice work with the final result.
"That's what I'm talking about!"
