That's not a true "trailer", it's just a teaser. The Mars footage isnt going to be used in the movie either, according to Michael Bay. (Teaser is also up on http://www.transformersmovie.com)
The movie should be good even if the story is junk, the special effects and the cars will make it worthwhile. And as far as it not following exactly the storyline of the original cartoon.. well that's just a dumb idea. There's no way to make all the obsessive fanboys happy, we're better off with a fresh standalone sort of story. As long as there arent too many glaring inconsistancies I can live with Megatron being a tank rather than an incredible growing/shrinking handgun, and we'll get some new cars rather than everything circa 1984.
