Story:

Shia LaBeouf returns as Sam Witwicky in "Transformers 3". Peter Cullen also returns as the voice of Optimus Prime. This 3rd installment in the series "won’t be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions, as the film gets more into the robot character. The last time (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) you kind of met a few of the robots. In "The Transformers 3" you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape" according to director Michael Bay.
