Especially considering no one can decide weather the 'jet engine' pics are of shockwave or silverbolt,maybe its both?
sod it,let the theorizing begin!

Maybe this can give some insight to the plot. I imagine there's two sides to the plot based on the title. Something to do with the human love interest that parallels DOTM (play) as well as a play on words a la "Revenge of the Fallen" dealing with the Transformers and the Moon. Hmm ...

Sorry, but that sounds a little to "deep" for what it is. I guess "Transformers: the last movie that I get to do so I am going to do a bunch of crazy crap that will unintentionally piss off the G1 fanboys while blowing up a whole bunch of shit with my favorite Victoria Secret model adding the T and A!" was too long.
Posted by NuclearConvoy on October 6th, 2010 @ 6:51am CDT
I kind of want to correct the grammar, like "The Dark of the Moon" or "Dark Side of the Moon". Dark of the Moon totally feels like there is something missing to have it be a "real" phrase.

Until Hasbro officially announces anything, I choose not to believe that this is the working title for the 3rd Transformers movie.
Posted by Cheetron on October 6th, 2010 @ 7:07am CDT
But really, this title sounds more like a Potter or Percy Jackson movie.
Posted by dkreed7 on October 6th, 2010 @ 7:07am CDT
Similar to what happened in the original g1 series, thats my guess anyway.
Starscream better try and destroy megatron in this one too!!! ALL HAIL STARSCREAM!
I think that jet thing thats been seen recently is how they get from cybertron to earth aswel maybe, who knows. I'm actually looking forward to this film tho, just hope its not a let down like the 2nd one and its not all about bumblebee.
Shockwaves looking great too, might be the first movie toy i buy

I'm still geeking about the Space Shuttle's role in the movie! Awesome Leader-class transforming toy plzkthx.
Posted by Clockwork Femme on October 6th, 2010 @ 7:30am CDT
Oh well. To be truthful, the only reason I'm even going to see the movie is because I'm curious to see what they do with Shockwave. There's nothing else to do but watch the nonsense unfold. No point in whining about it.....
But still.....

I don't have to understand the context of a title to think it sounds bad, man. Cowboy Ninja Viking looks like a cool comic, but it's title is just... ridiculous and unimaginative. That's the way of things. Words have power, and disliking a choice of words for a title doesn't require a ton of context.

...?
Anyway, until I see Hasbro put their stamp on it or see the words in an official trailer, I won't take it as the title of TF3.
"Dark of the Moon" is not bad, it could definitely have been worse. But it could have been so much better. Even a few of the episode titles from G1. "Transformers 3: Heavy Metal War" would have sounded f**king awesome, for example. Maybe a bit too long, but it would definitely have fit. Especially if Bay owns up to what he's been spouting, which is going all out in his final installment.
At the same time, it could have been worse. However, given that the movie revolves around the space race between America and the Soviet Union, and there are a lot of space stuff (like the shuttle and space-TFs like Shockwave and such) I think this title is probably true, and will reflect in the context of the story.
...and I just realized I have "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR playing on my playlist...

This is exactly what I thought when I saw the title...
Hopefully, TF3 will sync with Dark Side of the Moon batter than the Wizard of Oz did.

My thought is that, considering that Shockwave is the apparent main villain, he could establish an outpost on the moon, and launches his operations from there. Or, as was the case in RoTF, there was some left behind Cybertronian artifacts/objects of importance etc. left there that will be major to the plot of the film. We'll see...

The same registrant also for the following domains:-

So will it be the official TF3 title?
Posted by Rodimus2006 on October 6th, 2010 @ 10:34am CDT
I would have named it The Darkside of the Moon or Dark Horizons.
I told you that the sub-titled would be based of the film such as TF 3 is about the space race so it was natural it was to have moon or space in the sub title but still it is a gay name and I dont like it.
I guess I can give up on my quest of giving TF 3 a proper sub-title name. I also told you they done had it name so their was little point of my crusade of naming in TF 3.
I really dont care about the subtitle I will just call it TF 3 I just want a good solid film and a somewhat conclusion to the trilogy.
If they can pull that off I can get over the fact of TF 3's gay sub-title name.
But it does sound like a romance name more than action.

I agree. I don't mind the title. I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear about the actual plot and hear what critics have to say
Posted by Artakha Prime on October 6th, 2010 @ 11:41am CDT
The moon is in fact Unicron, who has slept in orbit around earth for milliena, and now he awakens and wants to destroy earth.
Though, how do you defeat the moon? If he goes (or even if he doesn`t), what will happen to the Earths eco systems? When will Silverbolt be revealed? And most important - when will we see Megan Fox?

Oh,sorry..that's NEW MOON

Are you kidding? Dark side of the Moon syncs near perfectly with Wizard of Oz, up until about 1/2 way through the film. You just have to know when to start it. I can't remember which Lion's roar you have to start it with.

Albershide alerted them as well to this news.
