Didn't you watch the movie? All the other Primes died except for The Fallen because they sealed The Fallen away and they sacrificed themselves to hide the Matrix in their tomb.

They didn't seal The Fallen, only the Matrix, so The Fallen wouldn't find it, IIRC.

Someone did. Dude was trapped in his sarcophagus for centuries.

Stop over analyzing **** and stop saying that bullcrap as fact.

Why are you so offensive? Chill.
Where are the Trax they are selling, which is so clearly obvious? why is Stinger on the prototype visuals on the walls? I think you're the kettle calling the pot black, my friend.

Drawing a line under that, I want to raise a new point to you guys;

With this new TV spot potentially suggesting that someone (the Quintessons?) is behind Lockdown's appearance and indeed created the Transformers, I want to discuss this image,



1) http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... -spot.html As discussed in this thread, there is a dinosaur (like an actual non-robot dinosaur) visible moving in the shot. Bare in mind that from what various media outlets have reported, the Dinobots are supposedly in stasis on Lockdown's ship and OP breaks them out when he escapes - which means that they aren't necessarily from Earth pre-TF4.

2) Despite the above, I'm trying to predict where this scene fits within the overall film/plot.

Either it could be Lockdown trying to bomb Optimus and the Autobots out of the Chinese countryside (with bombs that leave some weird spiky residue).

OR even more crazy, could it be the creation of Cybertron? That's pretty "out there" but I wanted to throw it forward. If Bay is implementing a storyline such as that suggested by the Built TV spot, it wouldn't be too extreme to imagine him showing us Cybertron originally as a world like ours that was somehow terraformed to be mechanical.

I'm not saying I buy that myself, just putting it out there for consideration. What do you guys think? There's a lot of food for thought in this. A moving Dinosaur in the scene suggests that it isn't modern day Earth...

Thats the first trailer to get me worried about this film.

cant stand the quints.

TBH after all the effort hasbro has gone to get the TFs origin to at least make some kind of sense im somewhat taken aback at em going this route in the film

IF indeed it is the quints. but seeing as bay cant help screwing with things its looking like thats the way its going)

The Quintesson's are known for telling lies. They could say that they built the Transformers even if Primus created them. Isn't that idea in fiction somewhere? I doubt they created the All Spark. They could have also kidnapped Transformers and upgraded them.

Or maybe, Cybertron was originally a Q colony, and Allspark was created by Primus, witch decided to bring life into Quintesson's machines? Transformers could have a complex origin, with both mystical and mysterious origin.

Where could I see those spent efforts? Sorry if it sounds sarcastic, I am just really curious as to where a fan like me can see the current origin. Or is wiki still my best friend in that department?

Where is the dinosaur, I dont see it.

Was this in 1 of the movie comics? I don't remember it being mentioned in RoTF.

Yeah, I think it was in "Defiance". ROTF itself messed up the intended state of The Fallen to be still trapped in his sarcophagus in the movie until after Megatron killed Optimus, which would have freed The Fallen. But the film made its usual 11th hour changes and made The Fallen just be sitting freely inside the Nemesis without any imprisonment.

It took John Barber to fix this with his "Convergence" stories, in which one of them explained that Soundwave went and fetched a bunch of Sentinel Prime's pillars from the Moon and gave one to The Fallen to use to break himself out of his sarcophagus prior to the ROTF movie so as to mend the continuity error the film created with its pre-movie media.

So much speculation when it might not even be the quints. "They" could be anyone, unless I missed something that actually said it was the Quints. Either way, it'll suck since the last 3 did story wise and in many other ways. But hey, give your money to Hasbro and let them make cool new figures for me.
Primus origin story is the best, but its the bayverse where the fallen is suddenly a boring regular robot who can get beaten in a fist fight instead of being the higher being disciple of Unicron. It's almost like having the silver surfer being punched out by the thing. Boooorrinngg. and surely more boring crap in TF4.

That's an excellent idea, maybe not my favorite one, but it makes sense. We've already had an organic Cybertron too, so it's less of a stretch than it seems, as a major plot point from the entire Beast Machines series is a thing I'd see them using. It definitely looks like terraforming is going on in that scene.
If it isn't, who knows? Maybe whoever are in those ships came to Earth specifically to make a new Cybertron? Considering the last movie, Cybertron is probably half destroyed, as the half that came through the bridge appeared to be. The Dino makes that iffy, though, unless it actually is a Dinobot.

Because i was there during filming there was only one Pagani filmed (yes they had backups but thats it) only one unless the others are pure Cgi.


Stinger is like an elite Vehicon leading other Vehicons along with Galvatron (not saying this is fact but Stinger is unique)

Wow. People actually interested in the plot and story of a TF movie. I thought I'd always be the only one.

Cybertron was originally organic in the marvel comics origin too (possibly the basis for Beast Machines) Primus used his psychic powers to shape his asteroid (re: organic) prison into a metal planet. Via retcon, Cybertron was also originally organic in the G1 cartoon, at least in Japanese continuity, which sees Primus flee Primacron's base and settle within an organic planet at the center of the universe, which in time becomes cybertron (maybe thanks to the Quints using the key to vector sigma?)Interestingly, that planet is the one seen in 'Call of the primitives'

I didn't mind it actually. As a kid I preferred the Primus story from the comics, so Takara basically making the existence of Primus canon whilst keeping the Quintesson origin story was pretty cool for me. Plus, it shows somebody did enough research to pull a load of stuff together and make it work. Of course it's pretty tentative that Primus picks and chooses when to call himself Primus or Oracle or what have you for convenience. But it pulls together the sunbow cartoon, Beast Machines, Beast wars (including II and Neo) rather nicely.

Convoluted as it is, I like it

A lot of it was mostly done to reconcile Beast Machines' organic Cybertron with the Cybertron of the G1 cartoon since Takara wanted to have both of those cartoons in the same continuity (despite Cybertron somehow being no longer technorganic and back to purely technological by the time of beast wars II tens of thousands of years later).

I agree with Metro Prime. There is no way he is saying "He wants you back". There is no S after "want". I'm going to see AOE on 6/26/14 at 9:00 P.M.!

New TV spot.


Oh, no. Humans dancing.

Crosshairs sounds badass. Hound just looks and sounds more and more like Bulkhead every time I watch these trailers.
