Primus help me but I'm actually warming up ever so slightly to this film. Having Wahlberg and Grammer in it is helping. They are two of my favorite actors and I think they will bring tons more to the franchise than Shia and the teen-wank, eye candy that Bay threw in there could ever possibly hope to.
I'm heavily intrigued by the new tv spots that have been posted and I'm actually thinking this may not suck.
Considering I just bought my first TF4 figure tonight, I'm officially invested in it now so it darn well better not suck.

Prime: "How many more of my kind must be sacrificed?"
Cade: "Gotta have faith, Prime. Maybe not in who we are, but what we can be,"

Little bits like this in the AOE trailers are what give me the slightest glimmer of hope for this movie and its character portrayals, both human and robot.

We know it's another trailer with very little new footage for Transformers: Age of Extinction - but not only is Mark Wahlberg addressing the UK audience, it also shows that the release date for the UK is no longer 10th July but 5th July! Check out the clip below, courtesy of the official movie Facebook page, with looks at three dinobots, one slashy Drift action, a very concerned Lockdown and a view of Lockdown's ship floating, this time from above!

Lockdown's face gets more and more skeletal every time I look at it. It's a far cry from the "robo-Destro" images we saw a while ago.

Interestingly, the humanoid look of Lockdown makes him look important to the plot, not just a fodder.

Guess that's the difference than having a bug monster metal mashed face.

At 0:18 Looked like a little Unicron devouring Earth.
I did saw they being sucked up at the first 2 trailers, but now I saw it's mouth properly.

I don't know anything about the plot, but perhaps that the Autobots and Decepticons have to team up against the common foe?

Well, he is the main robot antagonist of this film.

That's Lockdown's ship.

And thus far, it looks as though there might not be any Decepticons in the movie at all. Maybe.

This movie looks more and more ballin with every preview.

That's Lockdown's ship.

Which, according to the Transformers AoE app, is called 'Harbinger of Doom'.

Speculate away!

Or, the "Nightship", according to another article.

This movie looks more and more like a masterpiece every time I see a new trailer. All hail Michael Bay for keeping the Transformers brand mainstream and relevant in today's fast paced world. If not for his brilliance, the Autobots and Decepticons would still be stuck in stasis mode! :BOWDOWN:

Is it just me, or does Strafe look sort of blue-ish, and Scorn slightly redish?

Also Hasbro, why does my Slug have blue eyes?

I've noticed that too. Also, Grimlock is green and not orange like all of his toys. And going by a trailer released a day or so ago, Slug appears to be more orange. Not purple.

I love that Lockdown pic!

Grimlock seems to be more of a vague silvery color. The green might just be moss or plants of some kind, considering they seem to have been excavated. Or it might just be post-processing.
