I read someplace that he will have a faceplate similar to the one that Optimus Primal had in Beast Wars - one that "pops up" or closes in from the sides when he prepares for combat.
One of the main problems that existed in the original series and comics in terms of "reality" was the idea of mass shifting. This is most apparent with Soundwave as was pointed out earlier, where he would somehow go from a 10lb boombox to a multi-ton 20 foot tall robot. I have read that the production crew had a desire to limit mass shifting as much as possible, which is one reason why we get these robots with too much detail. They wanted to show exactly how a vehicle could transform into a roughly humanoid robot without trying to convince people that parts were disappearing and appearing out of nowhere between transformations and that it was perfectly ok.
Good or bad, I am going to enjoy this simply for the visual effects and nostalgia factor. Anybody who grew up loving Transformers can relate I am sure. I hope that there are more of the subtle little things like the transformation sound that pop up throughout the movie.

Looks a lot like a residential area, either house/condo/apartment, definatley not a corporate or even industrial location.

0 432679 seems to indicate some kind of faceplate.s /1808716430/photos/17/2575 another picture indicating a faceplate.s /1808716430/photos/17/324 this pic is the best one that I have seen so far. The shadows hide enough such that he looks somewhat more like the classic Optimus.
