OMG, I am so excited about this, I can't even begin. Looks like I have to plan a few more Universal weekends soon.

I have a feeling this is going to open sooner than we think....

The DM:MM store opened about 6 weeks before the attraction opened.

Agreed. They are already advertising it like its an open attraction... With the Meet & Greets, the store opening and the Facebook pictures...

Apparently they are testing the video screens in the queue area currently.
Thank you for posting!
I've been waiting to judge until we saw some pictures with the surrounding area included in them, and, I have to say, Transformers sticks out like a sore thumb from this side, and even looks a bit cartoony! It doesn't look like it fits the area at all!
It looks awful! (although it could have possibly fit in well with Men in Black in World Expo - why didn't they build this there?

I heard it looks a lot better in person, but still, I agree. Hopefully with the addition of the giant Optimus Prime it will look better, but for now, it looks just like a big grey wall in the middle of New York.

I don't think it looks better in person and really dislike the idea of the giant characters being added.

Well. All my hope is lost then on the exterior for this attraction. I wouldn't say it's horrendous, but the New York view really is the worst. The other angles don't appear to be as bad.
Even if it looked like it did, but the colour of the warehouse was the same as those buildings on that picture (brownish colour) then it would look better than the bright grey that it is now!

Remember that is down the side street too... Not the main drag view. But yes... Hideous
I've seen it in person and think it looks pretty good, I've been on the Hollywood version, and it's loads better looking than that, and it really fits the theme of the transformers ride itself being a nest facility. Compared to the view down that street before it was an improvement. (the grungier looking shorter old soundstage building then shrek posters above it).
And i originally didn't think I'd like it, but walking around it from different areas of the park I think it works to stand out.

It doesn't look great from that view... I'm still pretty psyched for it though.
Does anyone have a view from that angle pre transformers building being there?

I don't get this sentiment. How many top secret facilities do you know of that have big graphics pointing out what they are?
