Thanks to weibo user HarryHuo we have some Transformers: Age of Extinction product packaging mock-ups! The box inlay image reveals lots of Dinobots in their dinosaur modes: Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptor, Pterodactyl, and Spinosaurus (you'll have to forgive us if those names aren't 100% species accurate, there are a lot of various dino subspecies!) As you can see this isn't the traditional Dinobot team. The outer box offers yet another look at Optimus Prime in his new body.

Michael Bay's Teleprompter Woes Reveal An Upcoming TF4 Event With Samsung

By now you've probably heard that director Michael Bay "stormed off" during a Samsung presentation at CES. The video embed below shows a different side to the story and it appears as though his embarrassment, not anger, got the best of him.



A short time later, he addressed this incident by posting the following message on his website, and in this message he mentions a promotion for Age Of Extinction. Here's what Mr. Bay had to say:

Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES - I was about to speak for Samsung for this awesome Curved 105-inch UHD TV. I rarely lend my name to any products, but this one is just stellar. I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP's intro line and then the teleprompter got lost. Then the prompter went up and down - then I walked off. I guess live shows aren't my thing.
But I'm doing a special curved screen experience with Samsung and Transformers 4 footage that will be traveling around the world.
Michael

As you can see, no in depth details pertaining to the footage are given, but from the sounds of it, a large display of this type is perfect for the Transformers movies and has his rare seal of approval. Makes it just that much harder to wait until June!

Thanks to Seibertron.com member Powered Convoy for pointing this bit of information out. It appears Takara Tomy's Transformers Cloud line will consist of eight figures, which will be split between the Takara Tomy Mall and e-Hobby. At present two figures have been made available for pre-order, TFC-A01 Optimus Prime via the Takara Tomy Mall and TFC-D01 Megatron via e-Hobby. That would leave six remaining figures in the line. The first chapter in line's accompanying Guardians of Time story did feature a panel with eight characters, the aforementioned TFC-A01 Optimus Prime and TFC-D01 Megatron, plus:

• Rodimus as a redeco/retool of the Generations Voyager Springer mold
• Generations Voyager Fall of Cybertron Blaster
• Deluxe Jazz (? - Probably is Reveal the Shield Deluxe)
• Generations Voyager Fall of Cybertron Soundwave
• Generations Deluxe Fall of Cybertron Starscream
• Generations Deluxe Fall of Cybertron Swindle

Speculation at this point of course.

Update:: Once again, thanks to Seibertron.com member Powered Convoy for this update:

Powered Convoy wrote:Everyone but Rodimus is supposed to be their recently released TakaraTomy Generations figure. Jazz is in another chapter and it's the TakaraTomy version of the FoC figure.

Andrew Hall, formerly of eHOBBY / Part One, said that for the first story they just used the Japanese Generations figures for the other characters that appeared in that first chapter.

I do believe whatever they have planned won't be the above other than Rodimus.

Powered Convoy wrote:Deadline to order Cloud Megatron& Optimus is 1 PM on 1/6 Japan Time (which I believe is midnight or 11 PM EST).

On the TakaraTomy Mall page for Optimus it says:

ストーリーに基いた年間各サイト４アイテムの商品ラインナップを予定しているトランスフォーマーの新シリーズにご期待下さい。

Which Google Translates to:

Please look forward to the new series of Transformers that are planning to product line-up of four items each year site based on the story.

Bing gives us:

Please look forward to the new series of transformers are planned based on the story over the years each site 4 items of products.

So we have Rodimus, but I wonder what the other 5 (thinking Optimus & Megs are considered 1 & 2 of the will be?
