Coming Soon.net have posted a description of the upcoming Transformers: Dark Of The Moon trailer.
"Transformers: Dark of the Moon, from the
teaser, plays it on conspiracy theories related to the moon landing. The
first part of the movie alternates images of the control room at NASA
and of the astronauts on the moon. The landing is what we know well, as
are the famous words about the "giant leap for mankind." But we did not
know what is the journey of the astronauts on the dark side of the moon,
until the control room do not tell them that "... then we are not
alone." Then we see some Transformers: the camera comes close to the eye
of one of them, which starts to flash. But the camera does not stop,
and takes us inside the robot and its mechanisms, making us understand
that it's coming back into action."

Cybertron.ca board member Dak posted the following over on their message board:
Thursday October 28th at 7pm (EST) on Global TV, Entertainment Tonight
will be airing a feature for the upcoming Transformers: The Dark of the
Moon! Be sure to set your PVR's!
There is no word on what shall be included on the featurette, most likely they will be talking to some of the cast and crew with a few behind the scenes clips thrown in for good measure.

Reports are coming in that the third Transformers movie, believed to be the grammatically strange Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has now finished.
There are conflicting reports if this finshing of filming is just within the US or also internationally.
If the film has finished, which is due for release in 2011, we should be able to expect something official coming out later this year as the online viral and teaser campaigns run.

Another Amazon update has revealed a very loose plot summary for the third live action Transformers film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
The Autobots Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and
Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil
Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009’s
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. In this new movie, the Autobots and
Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S.
and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of
his robot friends. There's new characters too, including a new villain
in the form of Shockwave, a longtime "Transformers" character who rules
Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth.

Nelson, admin of Michael Bay's ShootfortheEdit.com, has posted a picture of
the Mercedes E550 on his
Flickr account. Nelson, who recently confirmed that the vehicle would not be Jolt, lists the car as the character "Q". Now he does this as a quote meaning it will not be the actual name of the character, but this could also be a reference to Q from James Bond which was short for quartermaster, so could this character be a quartermaster himself? Time will tell
