Transformers: Age of Extinction Animatronic Grimlock on Mexico Promotional Tour

Neat, though it looks a bit unstable!

Hah! Brilliant! Ironically closer to the size a T. Rex should be!

Love the use of the Jurassic Park T. Rex noises. ^^

AM

I want one of those in my front yard.

Agreed. It's about time. I hope he decides to join the Decepticons to wipe out human kind, completely and takes Earth for himself. He won't, though. But I can hope.

Actually, I belive that Optimus would be great "final boss" of the movie. It would be epic if final battle would be Cade vs Optimus. Especially if Yeager would be able to kill Prime with bare hands

Cullen (as well as Wahlberg, Peltz, and Reynor) is contracted for 2 more movies. Prime isn't dying.

YES! I'm glad.

You didn't know about TF5 and TF6?

Yes, but that doesn't mean Optimus wasn't going to die at some point. I was afraid they might kill off Optimus and put Rodimus in there, or something.

Ah, got it.

BTW, I chimed in on the recent talk about the movies' portrayal of Optimus.

Then all hope for New Trilogy beign any better is lost...

Well, it would be possible to keep Cullen as OP voice in flashback/ghost/matrix of leadership voice or something. It isn't impossible to kill him off. But I do defer to Saborblade on nearly everything Transformers related...

SlyTF1 wrote:I was afraid they might kill off Optimus and put Rodimus in there, or something.

An improvement.

And I believe Peter Cullen also has a clause or stipulation in his contract that Optimus can't die (again) while he is voicing the character. After all these years he still has a bad taste in his mouth from Prime dying in 1986.

They definitely don't have to kill Optimus, but Rodimus and Ultra Magnus better make an appearance in the next 2 movies. I still wouldn't mind if either of them was Lockdown's mysterious benefactor, as outlandish as that sounds. All it needs is a good explanation. Or I would take 1 of them arriving and saving Prime at the last moment. I like the new Autobot characters, but it's starting to feel like "The Adventures of Prime and Bee" after 4 movies (well, technically 3), because they're the 2 main characters next to the humans. it was OK for the 1st film, but I was hoping for a little more variety by now. Seems like Prime and Bee are here to stay, and everyone else is interchangeable.

The Transformers: Age of Extinction international trailer has been released! While it's very similar to the recently released "Payoff" trailer, it does have a few small differences. The scene with Crosshairs is slightly extended with him doing a back flip off the ship, and we get the insurance scene with Cade, Tessa, and an unfortunate motorist. This trailer also features Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons. Check it out below courtesy of the Latest News Explorer YouTube channel.

Yep! That's the insurance scene mentioned in the CinemaCon reports, alright! Though, it's craftily had its beer can part cut out in this trailer.

I'm most glad they showed Crosshairs jumping off the ship.

This movie is gonna be SO GODDAMN BALLIN!

I should take a chill pill...

I think I know why the buildings behind Crosshairs are blue. I thought about this a while ago, but never remembered to post about it until now. If that scene takes place in Chicago, and the story is set only 4 years after DOTM, it's reasonable to assume the humans are still repairing the damage done from the Decepticon invasion. Maybe they're just still working on those buildings and placed a sheet of giant blue plastic over them.

I saw this on Monday morning, but Paramount had it removed from various sites. Glad it made it over here, though.

okay.. i'm not sure if you're the same person who commented about this before on another site when the first trailer came out.. or if this is really your first post anywhere about it..

the one building is just colored that way.. the light blue part of the building that's more to the center is common scaffolding netting.

and no, this does not take place in chicago.. cities are constantly renovating buildings and using this netting..

green seems to be more common.. but there are several different colors of this netting.

GUNFACE!

Our friends at Paramount just sent us a brand new official Transformers Age of Extinction poster. The latest poster features a kneeling Optimus Prime with his sword. Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), Tessa Yeager (Nicola Peltz) and Shane Dyson (Jack Reynor) are in the foreground. You can download the fullsize poster by clicking on the link or image below. Enjoy!

I am loving these posters and they are really hyping me up. Reading some of the comments on this webpage elude to a seismic shift in the feelings the majority of haters exude toward the previous 3 films. It's comforting to see them so excited about Dinobots and that they are finally jumping on the Transformer Movie-verse bandwagon. And I say to them, "Better late than never." I've never seen a more nit-picky fan base ready to rip something or someone ( ) to shreds when they are doing more good for the franchise branding than any other Transformer incarnation since G1.

I think this is the first time I've ever said anything about it. And in every shot of that areal chase scene, it looks a lot like Chicago, to me. I'm pretty sure it is Chicago.

It's unfortunate that people are so judgemental about these movies or, for that matter, anything new with the Transformers franchise. I find it fascinating to watch the behavioral patterns that emerge and stay so consistent with each new iteration of the Transformers franchise. Unfortunately, the Internet seems like it can bring out the worst and most negative in some people. At least this isn't a political website ... those sites have some of the most abysmal and negative reactions from people.

Lord Almighty, tell me about it. I get a brain-ache every time I look through the comments at some sites.

I agree. I like to say that Transformers... Transform, and it isn't within our rights to be mad about how they change. It's what they do -- let them do what they do. Besides -- I've always liked the Bay movies (Save ROTF -- Even Bay said that movie was bad) and I thought that they brought a much-needed dark tone to the series, and I was ultimately glad to see that carried over to Prime and other bits of media.

And I agree with your notion about the political websites. I'm somewhat tuned to politics, and I can personally attest to the fact that people call you out and try to flame you for having an opinion that doesn't line up with their pride. Either way.

This is not to say I am not unhappy about the designs. I'm not too in love with how they've modified Prime's alternate mode, nor his robot form. I loved the prior mode for him, and that shiny, triple-smoke-stacked, arguably-worse-than-Peterbilt Truck is at the point of my disdain for the moment. I guess it will be like Mega Mewtwo Y and warm up to me over time. But I dunno. The robot mode looks cool -- don't get me wrong -- but I'll wait and see how I feel about it on-screen as Optimus.

And this is the crap I hate, right there. Everyone has their opinion. Some people think the new movies suck, some think its ok, others love it (that's me). But man, try to interject your opinion in a discussion and suddenly you get flamed and called a troll.

I had an incident like that on another TF forum that will go unnamed. There was a forum topic asking who liked what iteration of transformers and why, and which one didn't you like and why. Well I gave my likes and dislikes. One of my dislikes is beast wars, I've just never been able to get into it. The next post is someone replying to me saying I'm trolling, followed by a few flames and then wrapped up with the statement, "You must be one of those geewun truck not monk assholes"

And it threw me for a loop, considering about every incarnation of transformers, by the time I posted, had at least 1 person posting they liked it and 1 who didn't like it. And that's one of the reason why I try to only read that forum (as long as I don't get a headache lol) and rarely say anything on there anymore. Unless I'm praising something. But even then I've been flamed over there for liking certain things i.e. the bay movie.

Apparently, nobody can find new poses for Optimus.

Who needs more poses when he has one like that

Agreed with the whole, -lets shoot down something as hard as we can but don't want negative comments so I'll place it under the "it's my opinion"- thing that's going on on the forums.

Dislikers seem to be the loudest on the webz somehow.

Me, I like the movie trilogy, even ROTF and find that it has a lot of flaws. But imho has the best battle scene so far. Maybe AOE can top that, I don't know.

New TV spot

Whoa, whoa, whoa. How many TV spots are they putting up!? Has anyone see this one yet!? Because I haven't.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOzKzoL5T3g

We have to new Transformers: Age of Extinction TV spots to share, both of which have snipets of new footage. The first comes to us from the Transformers: Age of Extinction YouTube account, and is title Faith. The second was uploaded by CBMTrailers. Check 'em out embedded below:

Ratchet?!

God those humans are really bringing the propain this time.



This is going to be a sad scene.

I don't mean to exaggerate my feelings here, but I am a little sick over how they seem to be promoting the worst for Ratchet. I understand that they need to make room for more characters, but Ratchet has basically become the third most prominent Autobot in Transformers media. It really seems terrible that they'd do that to him. I'm anticipating the worst. But until we hear or see anything official regarding his fate, its still open.

Whatever happens, I'll accept it. Fiction doesn't die.

poor ratchet. i hope he makes it. but i know he wont.

ILL-Star wrote:but Ratchet has basically become the third most prominent Autobot in Transformers media.

Not true for this Ratchet. This Ratchet's a nobody, as far as his screentime in these movies go.

Not all Ratchet's are equal, lest you also consider the following Ratchet to be an important character:

He means in recent times Ratchet is the third most used Autobot besides Optimus and Bumblebee in tv shows, comics and game these days like for example.

Animated

Wfc Foc

Prime

Movies.

I know what he means, and I'm saying that just because a character gets used doesn't always mean that their use makes them important.

Case in point, the movies had a Ratchet who was of little importance outside of two scenes: 1) Explaining Bumblebee vocal condition in the first movie, and 2) attaching Jetfire's parts onto Optimus in ROTF.

And helping Optimus retrieve Sentinel in DOTM. He also told the humans to mortar the space bridge. Which means there probably wouldn't have been as many explosions during Optimus's rage mode scene. Which would have disappointed me.

Yeah i agree with you in Rotf but the first movie had some good scenes with him and Dotm had a slightly bigger role for him kinda and he does somewhat act like a medic when him and prime go to the moon for sentinel and he explains Sentinel's levels are faint.

'A greater threat dawns'
It always does Optimus, it always does
Also Why does Ratchet always die in these trailers, is it the most interesting bit of the film or what?

He's toast. He was barely seen on set during filming as was completely absent during shooting for all the latter scenes of the movie, including the big finale. Plus there's no Ratchet toys outside of that one Kreon.

This really sucks. I had a very strong feeling that Ratchet was going to be sacrificed even before we saw any footage. I have a feeling Leadfoot is going to be taken out as well.

As for Ratchet's role in these movies, I remember hearing somewhere his toys didn't sell, so that's probably why he was reduced to background scenery for the next two installments.

SlyTF1 wrote:And helping Optimus retrieve Sentinel in DOTM. He also told the humans to mortar the space bridge. Which means there probably wouldn't have been as many explosions during Optimus's rage mode scene. Which would have disappointed me.

Except those were things anyone could have done, and were generic enough to give nothing extra to whoever got to do them. Only in the two scenes mentioned before did he get used in ways that only he as a medic could do.

Though, I will give you that one small moment in DOTM when he notes Sentinel's condition, but it was still tiny, so that makes three nigh-insignificant moments for him out of all three films.

I also hope Ratchet makes it out ok.

I hope ratchet survives after all he is their medic and if humans turn on . Why should prime care about them

To be the better person?

If they really need to kill Ratchet off, they should let Galvatron deal the fatal blow. If human soldiers are able to kill character with unlimited amount of luck, then they should be conside as a some kind of reality warper's race.

well ratchet doesnt exactly want to kill them as far as i can tell. so it really should be an easy kill for humans even though id rather him live. he really hasnt done much for me to want him to be killed. then again he hasnt really done much at all...

This is what I'm getting of the plot from the trailers so far

Here they are, the advertised 'viral' campaign products to support the release of the upcoming Transformers: Age of Extinction movie. This one in particular, uploaded to the TransformersAreDangerous.com website, focuses on the 'Fall of Chicago', the climax of Dark of the Moon, as reported by a number of fictional media outlets. Also found on the site are news clippings from international media about the Transformers on Earth, and downloadable posters, mirrored below. Check out the embedded clip, with a slightly longer look at Lockdown, too!
