All I remember is Mark screaming and firing that gun/sword weapon he is always seen with, a close up of Hound's face, a new shot of Grimlock running and breathing fire and what seemed like Optimus riding Grimlock through a city.

Holy mother... holy mother damn. Hopefully someone posts it on the internet, soon.

Yeah it was pretty awesome, I'm trying to sit through the voice so I can see it again.

I think I'll go do that now, as well.

It was just posted on this site

Wonderful scene of Grimlock freeing the Dinobots. This movie is going to be a 4 course meal with a side of awesome sauce. All Hail.....Michael Bay!

Tongues are necessary for proper speech on a physical level. One cannot produce any lingual speech sounds without the tongue since the tongue is the key instrument for altering the sound of one's voice to produce said lingual sounds. Simple phonetics. :-B

I found a copy that's just a little clearer:

That last shot was pretty good, I'll admit. I can just see the continuation:

Optimus rides Grimlock toward Lockdown and his ship. Grimlock uses some crumbled buildings to climb higher, and right before he jumps, Optimus says "I'll take the captain, you take the ship!" And in mid-air Optimus jumps off Grimlock and tackles Lockdown on the ship, as Grimlock transforms in mid-air and proceeds to start tearing the ship apart with his hands. Or better yet, he stays in T-Rex mode and uses his claws, jaw, and fire breath.

Also, that shot with Lockdown's 'ship' is destroying the buildings, it's very much Unicron-like. I'm not saying it's him. Because if it was he'd be really small, but it does remind me of Unicron's planet mode.

Needless to say, my excitement level has gone up just a little. >:oP

And now, to combine the news of the new TV spot for Transformers: Age of Extinction reported on last night, and this morning's announcement regarding Imagine Dragons, check out a good quality, official video on the Seibertron.com YouTube Channel. The footage is exactly the same as the spot, in a slightly different order, showing off Hound, fire-breathing Grimlock, Cade's sword-gun, and Optimus Prime riding Grimlock through the city - with added clips from the band Imagine Dragons and their new single 'Battle Cry'. Check it out embedded below!

Yes and Yes to both these comments.

Primus help me but I may actually be entertaining the notion of catching this on the big screen. As much as I was opposed to a 4th film even being made, this actually has me intrigued. I'm still not liking a lot of the character designs (and re-designs) but I am starting to become curious as more info and more clips are released.

Remember how adamant Michael Bay was about never putting the Dinobots in a movie? He actually said he hated them, IIRC. I wonder how much he's choking on those words right now. :lol:

I'm sure the pile of money he's sitting on helps him get through it, though...

Ugh.....look how pointy and sharp Grim looks. Now that's the epitamy of a pile of scrap metal that's been ripped to shreds and is getting ready for smelting. Or a beer can that's been used as a hockey puck for a day.

So bad. When you watch it on screen in close up shots and in motion he just doesn't make sense. You don't understand what your looking at.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Transformers-Age-Extinction-CinemaCon-Footage-Brings-Dinosaurs-Explosions-More-42240.html

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.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/25/mark-wahlberg-michael-bays-transformers-age-of-extinction-will-break-dwayne-the-rock-johnsons-box-office-record

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

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.

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