Although Michael Bay warned the crowd of execs and toy collectors that what they were about to see was “not nec🐻es♎sarily the best scenes, but some of the scenes that were finished,” that didn’t stop them from erupting into enthusiastic applause when the reels for each of the four sequences had finished spooling.

And Bay didn’t just win over the fanboys; rumblings from those in the know suggest that Transformers might be better than many in the fanಞ community are expecting.

DreamWorks production chief Adam Goodman – who admittedly is an executive producer on the project, but if you can’t trust someone with that surname, who🍨 can you trust? – said “It reminds me of 'Back to the Future' or 'Close Encounters' – real Amblin film from back in the day.”

X-Men producer Tom DeSanto attended, and he seemed just as excited – compari🧸ng the footage to his experience on the first X-movie. “People were r🌱eally going to give that one the smell test,” he said. “And it was a real surprise.”

Prepare to be surprised when 🎉Transformers hits cinema🌸s this summer.
