	This version is composed of the original opening blurb, a new flashy title card (which is so awesome that it is shown 2½ times by the time the trailer ends), a shorter version of the scene aboard the Autobot shuttle including the captions that introduce the new characters and their voice actors but omitting Kup's monologue, and the Battle of Autobot City sequence.

	The theatrical version also differs from the original promo in that it is scored with [[Vince DiCola]]'s "[[Escape (song)\|Escape]]"~~, a cue taken directly from~~ [[~~The Transformers~~: The ~~Movie - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack\|the movie's soundtrack~~]], together with some brand new Victor Caroli narration.		The theatrical version also differs from the original promo in that it is scored with a preliminary version of [[Vince DiCola]]'s "[[Escape (song)\|Escape]]" (as later featured on [[Vince DiCola Presents: The Protoform Sessions]]), together with some brand new Victor Caroli narration.

	Being a trailer, it is preceded by the perennial {{w\|MPAA}} green screen and the [[Dino De Laurentiis\|De Laurentiis Entertainment Group]] logo, and ends with a promise that the movie will be "coming this summer to a theatre near you".
