Anyone want to hear my crackpot assumptions on how this movie is going to go down?
I bet the dinobots are going to be the mindless villains for the first half of the movie then Galvatron is going to pop up and kick the autobots' butts forcing Optimus to "tame" Grimlock and ride him into battle. Either going to be awesome or really lame.

WoW this was awesome. Great new footage. Can't wait till Thursday when the new trailer hits. I can only imagine what we'll see in that.

Based on the info that came from CinemaCon, Galvatron seems to come in rather early in the movie, within the first act. He's a lifeless, manmade mech remote-controlled by humans, created by the government in their attempts to hunt down and kill the Autobots. Optimus, having lost faith in humanity, has gone into hiding and, disguised as a beat up old white flat-fronted semi, gets bought by the Texan inventor Cade Yeager, a single father down on his luck who's trying to pay to put his daughter, Tessa, through college. She's secretly dating an Irish racer of a boyfriend, Shane Dyson, despite her dad having a "no dating" policy. When the government comes knocking on their door looking for Optimus, Cade resists at first, but when the agents, led by James Savoy and working for Harold Attinger, start using his daughter, Optimus bursts out of hiding and opens fire on the humans. After a chase scene that leads all the main humans and Optimus to a highway, Galvatron enters the scene, sent by Joshua, the lead scientist who created the manmade Transformers, and does battle with Optimus. However, their fight is interrupted by the arrival of a massive space ship, whose pilot, the neutrally-aligned bounty hunter Lockdown, exits and comes forward for Optimus. He basically mops the floor with Optimus and takes him into custody, inadvertently also scooping up Tessa who was trapped in some debris from the previous fight, as Lockdown didn't just grab Optimus but all the surrounding scrap nearby as well. As Optimus and Tessa are taken into the ship, Cade and Shane run after her by fail to reach her in time. Not much else is known about the rest of the movie other than Stinger being another manmade TF designed after Bumblebee, Savoy and Cade have a chase scene across Hong Kong rooftops and fire escapes, the Dinobots come into play somehow, Lockdown belongs to no faction and is working for somebody who's mad about Cybertronians and humans having interacted with each other (which was something that Megatron was never bothered by), there are no signs of any genuine Decepticons in this movie as of yet, and there's a scene where Cade pilots part of a ship that he crash-lands into a beer truck and damages some guy's car nearby. The driver of said car irately demands Cade's insurance to cover the damage, to which Cade responds with something like "Insurance? This is a space ship!" He drinks a can of beer from the truck, tosses it at the guy's car, turns to his daughter and says something like, "Honey, get me my alien gun."

That's all we know.

Just wanted to point out these two frames ... larger versions of these images can be found in the gallery by clicking on the images below.

Hound's got weird teeth.

Seeing the silo from just outside downtown Chicago is pretty cool. The other side of the tower is all covered in gang graffiti.

Uhhhh......Why is Drift so thin?

nice imagination, but I don't think it will go exactly that way... I believe Galvatron is still alive (as a mind controlled slave on a metallic jail... his own body), fixed and re-powered by human government out of his leftovers from last movie, and optimus is facing similar luck but not mind controlled, but still getting fix by Cade (which I think is the main point here, the ones who seek power, slave souls/minds regardless of kind, besides the human nature is pure freedom). and this should be one of the reasons why optimus lost faith on human kind but seems to find hope thanks to Cade. Just my opinion.

What imagination? I didn't make any of that up. All that came from the many reports on the 15 minutes of footage shown at CinemaCon 2014, and from Entertainment Weekly's article on the movie:

Holy crap, I thought that was a human. Is Grimlock that big? That's near-Trypticon-size. From the comics, anyway...

But don't you see how far in the background Drift and Optimus are? Depth perception makes Grimlock look a LOT bigger than he is in comparison to the two 'Bots.

In the photo of Bumblebee on top of the Decepticon ship, Tessa, Cade, and Shane can be seen in the back and Crosshairs appears to be with Bumblebee as well. I'm guessing after that scene, Crosshairs parachutes off the ship and shoot some others.

They finally uploaded the HD version of the actual TV spot that aired last night.

Paramount Pictures International have released a slightly longer version of the new Transformers: Age of Extinction TV spot that appeared last night during NBC's The Voice. No new film content, but we do get to hear a little more of "Battle Cry" by Imagine Dragons, plus artist commentary. The clip is embedded below:

The official announcement for Imagine Dragons partnership on "TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION" directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammar and Li Bingbing. Coming Soon to Cinemas.

Everything on him is bullets. I wish I could do that.

I do now, looking at the still. But when I saw the spot and this scene was on for a split second, my attention was solely on Grimlock.

You know, while I still don't like the Duck Dynasty thing Hound has going on, I have to admit that they did a really nice job on it, from an artistically technical standpoint.

I'm okay with it now. Ish. Kinda. A little...

... so where exactly says "Galvatron is lifeless"? therefore nice imagination, no touching some other points. I still have my own opinion about this movie, and I believe the same "metaphor" between Cade and his daughter (father trying to dictate on his daughter's heart... no boyfriends) is happening on the macro context (government slaving/remote-controlling Galvatron who is still alive inside his own body). Just my opinion.

We have a little more technical info on tomorrow's new Transformers: Age of Extinction trailer courtesy of Alberta Film Ratings. The trailer is rated PG and clocks in at 2:24. Naturally we'll report on the trailer the moment it goes up tomorrow, stay tuned!

The government agents pull out their very OWN Transformer, Galvatron. Back at the base there's a younger agent who appears to be piloting Galvatron via joystick. Galvatron is their puppet! Optimus and the piloted Transformer spar, and Optimus is losing.

It’s revealed that Galvatron is actually a remote-controlled Transformer (being manipulated from a control room by Stanley Tucci’s character and a random guy) who was presumably created so that humans would have a weapon against a future alien invasion.

Galvatron is a man-made Transformer...Basically, these are Transformer drones.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/cinemaconnews.php?id=116337

Galvatron, who seems to be controlled by someone at the command of Stanley Tucci's character...Tucci in the control room tells the person controlling Galvatron to get him out of there.

It would be completely foolish of the government to grant actual life and independent thought to machines that they create to essentially be pawns to be exploited. And, honestly, how would the government even be able to create life for these things, especially with the AllSpark long gone and no easy access to the Matrix inside Optimus' chest? They aren't gods, after all.

This is all well and good but how does Hound smoke a cigar and yell without it falling out of his mouth? Also stop smoking Hound,parents wont buy toys of you other wise!
Getting all Cinema-sins before the films even out!

Maybe it's plugged into a port inside his lip so it doesn't fall out like a real cigar would.

What? The trailer is only a PG, gosh darn it I wanted to hear the 1 swear word!
