On Friday we not only got to see a few photos of high-flying Shia LaBeouf on the SoCal set of the next Transformers film but we also learned that said film has finally been subtitled as Transformers: The Dark of the Moon. Today we get our first look at a new teaser poster purported to be for Dark Side … as you can see, it looks like the Decepticon villain Shockwave will be prominently featured in Transformers 3:

Thanks to Bru No, we have what appears to be a poster for the third and final installment of the giant robot series for Director Michael Bay and company, Transformers: The Dark of the Moon. The poster shows off the iconic head of Shockwave peeking over the moon, which has the Decepticon symbol visible on the surface. The bottom of the poster reads, “Be Afraid of the Dark,” with the release date of the film July 1, 2011 underneath the tagline. While we cannot independently verify the authenticity of this poster, this poster is very similar to the teaser poster for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which depicted just The Fallen with the tagline, “Revenge is Coming.” The text for the tagline and date is also very similar in both posters. The poster was sighted on an easel and what looks like a conference room within a hotel building.

While it is true that some fans have the ability to put together very convincing fake movie posters, I’d bet good money that this poster is the real deal. There are too many things about the poster that look very similar to previous Transformers posters. I will admit that the tagline “Be Afraid of the Dark” is kinda lame, I wouldn’t put it past Michael Bay to OK a lame tagline like that. Shockwave is one of my fave Transformers characters, I’m just hoping that Transformers: The Dark of the Moon is more like the first Transformers film (i.e. good) and nothing at all like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (i.e. shitty).
