I don't buy that. Hasbro may have been giving out unconfirmed information from the studio, or things changed in production, or outright lied to us, but I don't think any dinobots but Grimlock are going to transform. Their toys look too smooth. They don't have movie-level transformations, they don't have any fake parts, they are quite straightforward, and their heads especially do not conform to the movie aesthetic. I won't believe that the dinobots transform in the film until I see them do so. They may transform in ancillary media, like comics and whatnot, but I doubt they do so in the film, with the probable exception of Grimlock.

This is the Movieverse. The Dinobots-That-Aren't-Grimlock will probably be background characters with no personality.
At least they all transform in the movie (Hasbro said they all do at toyfair)

Listening to Battle Cry. As much as I like LP... I find this song much better than anything in the first 3 movies.

Okay, I don't care anymore, I'm just gonna' come out and say it:
Am I the only one here who keeps reflexively thinking "Imagine Dragons" is the name of a kiddie show involving flying puppets for a few seconds before connecting the name to the band, no matter how many times I hear them? I guess it's been over a decade since I stopped giving a crap about any contemporary music, so it all blurs together enough that other associations seep into my consciousness; in this case, TV ads for Dragon Tails live shows.
Oh, and awesome song, yes.

Whenever someone mentions Imagine Dragons, it makes me think of I Fight Dragons, and then I'm disappointed, because they aren't I Fight Dragons.

I'm a big LP fan myself but I have to agree that this song is better suited if they are, in fact, taking this movie franchise in a different direction. LP did a great job but there at the end they were shoe-horning a song off their album at the time into the DotM line-up which, in my opinion, was just a stroke of luck more than anything else that they had a song that fit so perfectly. I think having a new group tailoring a song specifically to the new movie is the way to go if they are really taking the Transformers down a different road than the first 3 movies.

You're not. I used to watch Dragon Tales when I was a toddler, and now I'm stuck with the exact same problem.
The song itself is excellent. It fits the tone of the movie perfectly.

I'm not that impressed with the song. It's not bad, but it's not better than "New Divide." That was an awesome song.

We know that Imagine Dragons will be working with Michael Bay and his team for the shortly arriving Transformers: Age of Extinction soundtrack - and their Battle Cry single is being released right now! We have also heard that Steve Aoki will be collaborating, and Steve Jablonsky will return for the score. But in additional news, it appears that EDM hit Skrillex will also feature in some way in the movie's sounds, according to Billboard. Read more on this below, and head here for the full story!
In addition to being on tour into August, Skrillex is currently working on sound design for the next Transformers movie, creating "the craziest Skrillex sounds I could ever make." He also has other film scoring projects in the offing, while he and good pal Diplo have been making some new music together as well.

Finally listened to "Battle Cry"... have to say, Linkin Park could do better. Nothing can top "New Divide".
