I doubt it's a fan thing if the trailhead was found in the official trailer, and the transformersaredangerous.com site has a load of logos and privacy policies and credits and such across the bottom, so this should be good.
So General Smith, in charge of our mission, recently went missing and the last tweet he sent was

Heya, just saw this and was wondering if this might in any way be related:

Seemed like a regular tumblr poster... except trying too hard to sound "normal". The tags are also amazingly unrelated, since it mentions Anime North, an event occurring in two months. There's also mention of the fact that Transformers are now a wanted race...

That post is from http://www.transformersaredangerous.com, the source of all of this madness.

I've been playing around with a vigenere cipher

input
zfz135uetthupehcgpkmytz

key
gawno

output
tfd135hqntlhbyhgtbemcgl

which I figured would be the right because the beginning was the Generals twitter handle and the name of the forum tfd135hq
but the rest of it just looks like useless garble
any ideas?

Not sure about clues and whatnot, but there's an update on the forum:

They want us to use social media to spread the word about this project. I wonder if that'll give us any hints, if that's the case...

The updates from the website have been going into my spam folder via Gmail, so I just now saw the updates. Dunno if there's any true viral stuff considering how soon the movie will be coming out. I called the number, it let's you leave a VM. I'll do it tomorrow.

As for the site itself, there's cities with newspaper clippings, dunno if that's a clue or not. I feel like if this was a true ARG, there would have been more.
