At 1:50 in this video, the Pagani Huayra's character name is called out as Stinger.
ComingSoon wrote:Entertainment Tonight visited the Detroit set of Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction and has brought online a video that you can watch below!
Coming to theaters on June 27, 2014, the film stars Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, Li Bingbing, T.J. Miller, Han Geng and Titus Welliver.
Although the plot of the sequel is still top secret, Dinobots are said to be heavily involved and Bay himself teased to ComingSoon.net that it will involve a "Chase from Hell."
While fans eagerly await the return of Transformers to the big screen with Age of Extinction, ET takes you to the set of the series' action-packed fourth installment.
Director Michael Bay and his revamped cast took to the streets of Detroit, dressed up to look like Hong Kong, to film a portion of the film, which is where ET's Rocsi Diaz got a special behind-the-scenes look at the explosive action film.
The new cast for the fourth installment of the live-action series, based on the Transformers toy line, includes some familiar Hollywood faces, including Mark Wahlberg as the protagonist (Cade) and Kelsey Grammer (Harold) as the main villain.
As you can see in the featured video, Bay wasn't stingy on the explosives in the Age of Extinction, as cars are being sent airborne like feathers on set.
"It's a lot of explosions all day long, a lot of loud noises, a lot of running," Jack Reynor (Shane) said of a typical day on set.
Watch the video to satiate your Transformers appetite, and check out Transformers: Age of Extinction when it bursts into theaters June 27, 2014.

GROW UP, people!

Thank you!PrymeStriker wrote:I'm willing to bet you that if Stinger was a character/name from back in the day, fans across multiple boards wouldn't mess themselves in outrage as much.
Oh, wait! Stinger was supposed to be the name of one of Blaster's cassettes in the 1986 Movie!
Then fans would rage that he wasn't a cassette. Nevermind...
Seriously though, what's so mind-numbingly awful about the name 'Stinger' around these parts (especially when have names like Ratchet and Blaster in this franchise)?

According to those toy listings we saw before, it is a Decepticon.SlyTF1 wrote:I just hope it's a Decepticon. Maybe a double agent Decepticon.

Honestly, no one gave two cents about the names of Scalpel, Brains, Igor, Crowbar, or Hatchet, yet somehow the name "Stinger" is the one that gets persecuted?

Biggest hole in your argument: All of those films are adaptations of existing comic series. The Transformers movies are wholly original and new creations in their own right, with only a handful of callbacks to previous works.TimothyR wrote:yeah.. remember when batman battled butterman in the dark knight rises? or hey.. remember the evil architect, the super villain from the avengers movie.. or hey.. what about plasma tv guy the new hero of the x men.. or that time spiderman got his ass beat by curdled milk man.. but my favorite character HAS to be plastic bottleman, iron mans new trusty sidekick for iron man 4.
Maybe cuz the characters in these films aren't the classic characters of Transformers? They're ALL new guys with some who are based on old ones without being those old ones. Movie Ironhide isn't the old Texan warhorse veteran G1 Ironhde is, he's a cannon-toting maniac with a bit of a psychotic side. Movie Ratchet isn't a crusty, slightly angsty medic whose uncertain of his warrior skills and like to party, he's just a plain non-special medic. Though others like Jazz and Optimus are more similar to the originals, they're still a far cry from being those same characters that they're based on.TimothyR wrote:other franchises are able to keep their classic characters in major movies.. why does this franchise have to be different?
Do you honestly expect them to not recycle more classic names for this film's cast? We've already got Optimus, Bumblebee, Hound, and Grimlock confirmed for the roster. What legitimate harm does a couple of new names thrown in among the recycled ones do?TimothyR wrote:you have to be really naive to think people won't be annoyed with new characters when there are TONS of classic iconic characters to choose from.. especially when the alt mode is a car.
i am one of few who have enjoyed the movies for what they are.. they've changed designs, they've changed personalities, and they've changed colors.. i, at the very least, would like them to use some of the classic iconic names from the franchise..
If the classic personality is gone and replace by a new completely different one, can they really be called the same character anymore?TimothyR wrote:black ironhide, silver sideswipe, green ratchet, muscle car bumblebee, tattooed starscream, mercedes soundwave.. i think the least they could do is give us names that we know. it's really not that difficult to do. they've shown us that they can change things to characters that we know.. but i'd still prefer them to be characters that we know, whether their colors or personalities are different or not.. i'd like a recognizable name.
