That could be the case I suppose, but judging by the layout of the trailer scenes and the voice overs, it looked like Shredder takes out Splinter early on and the Turtles are tasked with vengence/stopping him.
My predicition: The best parts of this movie will turn out to be:
-The Turtles will look cool. Trailers often don't do justice to movie effects.
- Will Arnett
- Megan Fox from the neck down.
On this one at the 52 second mark it looks like normal Shredder. My assumption would be part way through the movie the turtles meet up and fight Shredder, he upgrades to super Shredder and attacks them (scene with Spinter), the turtles then fight him and win just before the end of the movie,

Sure, it could be the case. Doesn't change that super-Shredder looks like a robotic Edward Scissorhands. I dunno, it just seems over-the-top. But that's the Bay specialty so it shouldn't really surprise me.
It's interesting, I really think he was purposely trolling the internet with leaks about aliens and whatnot. But if he was really that astute you'd think he'd aknowledge the knock on him and go for something a little more toned-down every once in a while. And I don't mean toned-down on action, but action doesn't necessitate explosions, big robots, fancy equipment, etc... With a cast of characters that are all ninjas I was hoping it would be closer to a kung-fu movie than a transformers movie.
It might actually be good. Ninja Turtles are supposed to be over the top. If it's fast paced, has pizza, some decent one liners from Raph and Mikey, they say cowabunga high five I'll like it. Michael Bay might actually be a good fit for this, Transformers no because it's supposed to have the spark for life, struggle with the decepticons space travel that is more solemn and serious as Ninja Turtles are about as light-hearted and non-serious as it gets.
Transformers peaked in 1986 with an incredibly artistic and still amazing movie, Ninja Turtles had 1 decent movie and a bunch of horribly dated cheesy releases.
Too bad Sasha Cohen was removed from the Freddie Mercury project for wanting to do a more gritty portrayal than Queen wanted. I think he would have done a great job, and an unsanitized version of Freddie's life would be far more interesting.
