POSSIBLE PLOT SPOILER
Most people seem to refer to it as a 'giant flying robot worm', henceforth I will assume nobody knows what it really is and that tells me I should take precautions for those who want to find out when they watch the film. So, once again;
POSSIBLE PLOT SPOILER BELOW.[quote]
[/quote]It is probably the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midgard_Serpent_(Marvel_Comics)]Midgard Serpent[/url]. Now if you're all over the canon of Marvel, this is old news to you. But for many, the question "what is that giant worm in Avengers 2012?" is likely to be asked. Before I read about the Midgard Serpent, this was my original answer; [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_Fang_Foom#Thor:_The_Mighty_Avenger]Fin Fang Foom[/url]. But after further research it definitely seems to be the Serpent.
Yes, [url=http://www.blackboxnews.com/avengers-trailer-2-serp.jpg]this[/url] [i]does[/i] look very similar to a Transformer.
[b]BUT you know what's really interesting?[/b]
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Avengers/Transformers]This grand diamond[/url]. But in that story Spiderman, Wolverine and Luke Cage are involved. So I highly doubt that is what the enemy is
What's weird is the giant robot worm looks like the Transformers Decepticon. Here's another [url=http://splashpage.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/splash/2012/03/fff.jpg]shot[/url] of the beast.
Here's another [url=http://splashpage.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/splash/2012/03/fff.jpg]image[/url] of the robot. And to support my answers, [url=http://splashpage.mtv.com/2012/03/02/avengers-trailer-ending-fin-fang-foom/]this[/url] article suggests the same.

I thought it might have been this Marvel Universe's version of Fing Fang Foom.

Thanks for sharing this! I've been wondering what that robot is since I saw the trailer.

OMG NICE FIND! I thought it was a transformer at first, like you mentioned there's a Transformers-Captain America blend so I guessed the Avengers film might include that.

It looks a lot like the Asgardian robot that fires a beam of destruction from its head, y'know with the whole metal plating thing going on. [Edited on 03.15.2012 5:54 AM PDT]
