Transformers, can't wait!
What is the third icon on the right for?
Anyway, glad to see Grimlock making an appearance (looks like he is going to be decepticon -- as he should be!)
New Bumblebee I am not so sure about: what VW kick up a stink?

I will think of a signature later. It will be so stunningly brilliant your entire life will pale into insignificance when compared to the few words that will be written here.

The word on the street was that VW refused to allow their vehicles to be used in imagery that equated to weapons of war. Supposedly they were alleged to be the primary company behind the Nazi war machine, and they have been paying a heavy price ever since.
That's what I heard, I'm probably wrong though.

Actually, that's exactly right. VW's past isn't relevant, but they refuse to allow their image to be associated with war toys.
The movie-makers also inked a deal with GM, so all the Autobots (and one of the Decepticons) are based on GM (or GM-affiliated) vehicles: Mustang, Camaro, Hummer, Pontiac, GMC, Peterbilt.
And the "surveillance footage" isn't actually from the movie. It's just bonus stuff. No Grimlock, no Kickback, no camera-bot. Really, Grimlock should be a demonstration of why the G1 designs wouldn't work; he looks like a Power Rangers zord. No one would be able to take the movie seriously.
And the third icon hasn't been unlocked yet. It just says "illegal action. You do not have the necessary priviledges."

Everytime I see something about this movie I can't help but think of Randall tormenting his young co-worker in Clerks II. "But they're more than meets the eye!" Priceless.
