I think it's a really cool concept.
The Space Race, the challenge of landing a man on the Moon before the Russians, filling the nation with a purpose ends up being not to do it because it's there or because of the challenge of it. It's to get to the Moon before the Russians to investigate and possibly claim the remains of a crashed space ship of unknown origin.
Put in perspective of what we already know about the history of Transformers on Earth, it's likely that they would at least suspect it was related to NBE1 and the Cube that were at that time still under the Hoover Dam.
Even if they didn't know it was related to NBE1 already, once Apollo 8 made it's trip to the Moon, they would have had detailed pictures to compare the crash site to NBE1 and the cube.
Even though the Russians never put a man on the Moon, they had enough unmanned craft orbit and survey the surface to have similar images.
Culminate all that with what as in the trailer, that Apollo 11 was the first direct contact, and it's primary mission was NOT to actually land on the Moon, but to investigate and possibly secure the alien wreckage.
THAT's the story I want to see, or at least have them reference it. That's why the potential of this is so cool.
And why I risk being so very disappointed when it's not.
