While you have to wait until September 30 to own Transformers Age of Extinction of DVD or Blu-Ray, you can get it on Digital HD starting today. You can check out all the different online stores to order it on the Official Age of Extinction website.

[SlyTF1]

Just downloaded it onto my PS4. It started playing right after I bought it. This is badass!!!

[LOST Cybertronian]

If the wait to own Transformers Age of Extinction of DVD or Blu-Ray is getting harder by the day, a few behind the scenes clips are available to give you a little relief. Parade Magazine has uploaded to its Youtube channel an exclusive behind the scenes clip where "Stanley Tucci keeps Sophia Myles laughing on the set of Transformers: Age of Extinction". Comic Book Movie also has an exclusive clip on its Youtube channel entitled "Bad Guys". Last but not least is Break.com whose exclusive clip is from "The Last Stand" featurette. The two Youtube videos have been embedded for you while the clip from "The Last Stand" featurette can be seen here.

Grammer nearly swore for a sec in that clip.

[ConBotFormer]

I love Grammer. I really wish he wasn't killed off. I would have loved to see him in more TransFormers movies. Still, I'm grateful he was in AOE. He brought such a much needed, serious tone to this movie.

I too wish he hadn't been killed off, but for different reasons, which I'll go into once I get to finishing/posting my review of the movie.

I have a question to ask the local mods of this forum.

I am finally almost done typing up my review of the movie and hope to have it posted sometime this week. However, it is so massive in length that it cannot fit into just one post. I'm aware that this site is wary of people posting multiple consecutive posts at a time (i.e. - double-posting, triple-posting, etc.), so I'm asking about this before I post my review.

Would I be permitted to post my review in full all in one go via multiple-posting, or should I instead break down my review into sections and post each of those individually over a duration of time, allowing other users to respond in between each of my review posts?

Breaking it up, allowing others to respond, will make it much easier to deal with if there's any fallout due to opinions and clashes. Plus it'll look neater than a double post with a wall of text that most won't take the time to read, and chances are they'll respond TL;DR or "^ THIS" again and again.

So yes to breaking it up in pieces, no to double posting. Now, if you have a blog or Facebook and you want to link us to the entire review in one piece when it's all said and done, that would be fine too.

Yay, the Bluray and DVDs are out now. Even though I have the digital copy, I'm still buying every version, ever.

Coinciding with and celebrating the release today of the Transformers: Age of Extinction DVD and Blu-Ray editions - and our exciting Seibertron.com/Paramount giveaway competition - entertainment website Comic Book Resources have taken the opportunity to have a chat with voice actor Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime in many of his incarnations. The clip can be found below, and more here.

To celebrate the release of Transformers: Age of Extinction on Blu-ray, Paramount Studios held a special “Behind the Wheel” press event in Las Vegas, where CBR’s Steve Sunu was able to get behind the wheel of some of the types of cars used in the summer blockbuster.

After tearing through a 7-turn track in an Audi R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo Ip560-4, which he opened up to over 100 mph, Sunu sat down with Peter Cullen, the iconic voice of Optimus Prime, to discuss his legacy over the last 30 years of Transformers and how grateful he is for having the opportunity to bring to life a character who has had a positive influence over several generations of fans.

Sunu also spoke with driver Sli Lewis, who was responsible for some of the film’s dangerous stunts, about his earliest experience behind the wheel, and his father’s immediate pride at his son’s driving prowess.

After the guy asked Cullen about his voicing him for 30 years, I noticed there was a cut between the question and answer, so I'm betting that before Cullen gave his answer, he might have clarified to the guy that he didn't voice Optimus during the 1988-2006 years, and then had that cut out.

[Megatron Wolf]

just once id like someone to ask cullen how he feels about prime becoming a murderer and wanting to kill humans, i really want to know his take on that aspect of bay prime.

As a preview of what is to come, Cullen once did speak about that and I will be covering it in my forthcoming review of the AOE movie.

No metter how stupid Michael Bay is, thanks to him Cullen have money. So it's hard to belive that Peter would attacks him personally. But I must say, I would gladly pay him more just to see how he insults Bay in public

[SlyTF1]

I just noticed that after Optimus "bests," Grimlock, when Crosshairs is talking about Optimus's leadership, when Drift starts to walk, the plate on his leg goes through his "belt," piece. This surprised me because I never noticed any mistakes like that in any of the other 3 movies.

[Smokescreen]

I'm sure everyone has already voiced their opinion on the various movies thus far.. I liked the first movie only after Transfans stepped in and told Bay what he was doing wrong. That movie turned out pretty good. When the 2nd movie came out, you could clearly see how he didn't take the advice of a lot of fans and went in a totally different direction with the twins and Devastator. Kind of irritated me TBH. 3rd and 4th movies weren't much better. I've watched AOE 4 times now, but each time I watched it(including when I saw it in theatres), I was bored and confused at the same time. The dialogue was way too fast, way too confusing, same types of action as the first 3 movies.. And I really didn't understand the whole Dinobots thing. When did Lockdown recover Grimlock? Last I knew he was still frozen in the ice! Then Prime rescues the Legendary Knights (Dinobots) and they are all following him out. He then tells them to follow him and help him out, but to do so they first need to fight him?? Totally didn't make any sense whatsoever. Then Grimlock gives up that easily?? I kept thinking.. WTF is going on here???? Then after the battle, Prime disappears off of Earth and just leaves the Dinobots to roam Earth? This had so many questions written all over it that I just thought.. screw it.. I hope this is the end of my misery, that Bay will leave cartoon based movies alone (even though he's messing up TMNT) and someone else will step in that actually LIKES space/alien type movies. JJ Abrams perhaps? I realize I haven't said much on these forums the last 6 years.. but I remember when I went to Botcon 2001, I heard about the first movie coming out.. It took 6 more years to finally show up. So I was excited. As the movies have rolled out, I've become less and less interested. I just think it could have been a lot better.

A few points, as far as I know, the first movie never went under any serious changes as it was what Spielberg wanted it to be, about a boy and his first car. The second movie suffered because of the writer's strike. Paramount wanted the movie out on time leaving to the last and cheapest option, Bay writing and finishing the script.

The third movie...I didn't like. AoE: are you sure you have watched the movie? Knockout? You mean Lockdown?

Also TMNT, Bay had little involvement with that movie. In fact I've heard good things. Plus not everything Abrams have done is gold, cloverfield? Plus you want a fan on these movies? Or someone who brings in the money....like Bay.

It doesn't seem like you even watched the movie. There is no Knockout, and Grimlock was never in ice. And the Dinobots have always been the type where you have to prove yourself for them to follow you. And how the hell is the dialogue confusing?

Yes I've watched the movie. Watched it twice in theatres, once on an online website, and once now that I have the 3D/BluRay/DVD/Digital pack. Yes I meant to say Lockdown, I was writing this while scoping out other websites like bbts, RK, etc, etc, and got things changed around.

TMNT is directed by Bay. Nuff said.

I know not everything Abrams makes is gold, but he's put on quite the show for a few movies such as the 2 latest Star Trek movies. And no I'm not a Trekkie, but I actually "Liked" those movies.

And yes I want a fan on these movies working along side of a big director. Not just one or the other. This is what happened during the first movie. There are plenty of videos out there showing the outrage of Bay's leaks and how fans finally pushed their way in to throw in their 2 cents. I believe some of those videos can be seen in the 2 pack from the first movie.

Please scroll up to see the edit.

Have you watched the movie? Grimlock was in ice at the very beginning of the movie when the female (name?) from KSI came up to find out what was going on. Do you remember her passing thru the metal detector in the middle of nowhere, it going off, and then the archaeologist banging on Grimlocks teeth?

I think I already explained the dialogue situation. Way too fast, and in times not needed. Nuff said.

Like I said before, I'm sure everybody has made their own opinion about the movie, I'm just stating mine. Not looking for an argument, just throwing in my 2 cents.

[Sabrblade]

False. That movie was directed by Jonathan Liebesman. Bay was merely one of that film's SIX producers, and he wasn't even the executive producer.

False. That was not Grimlock. Nor was that dinosaur even of the same model design as Grimlock's. For one, it had a "mane" of sorts, which Grimlock did not have. And its teeth were laid out differently from Grimlock's, and its snout was a different shape from Grimlock's. If anything, it looked more like Scorn than it did Grimlock, but he too has differences that clash with the frozen dino's design.
