The description, if correct, is packed with spoilers (not necessarily of the plot itself, but of the trailer) and this may be debunked once it actually airs, but don't say we haven't warned you! There are definitely similarities with clips from the Super Bowl teaser clip (rewatch it here!). Check it out below.

-We fade in. We're in space. Calm as it can be. Before we know it, literally dozens of battle ships are approaching as what to be seen in the distance... EARTH.
In the midst of all this, we hear a V.O.
"Optimus Prime..."
-A large battle ship, bigger than the others, hovers over earth.
"You've been on Earth long enough to hear the saying, you can run but you can't hide"
-A LARGE BADASS looking robot (Lockdown?) exits the ship. He stares down Earth from above before these jet-type things come from his back and jumps off, falling down towards Earth at a rapid speed
-Cut to the robot landing on Earth. Crashing into the concrete. So hard that it creates a shock wave miles ahead. The concrete cracks and splits all the way to a farm, where a gang of autobots are surrounding Cade, Tessa, and Shane.
-Optimus looks at the ground, than ahead...
"They have arrived"
-Lockdown, and his badass ship behind him, walks towards Lockdown.
-Optimus tells an autobot to get the three out of here (Cade, Shane, and Tessa), and the autobot tuns into a race car.
-Lockdown face turns into a gun and he shoots it at Optimus.
-Optimus goes down and...
-Cut to the Paramount pictures logo
*Note, that is all like the first 37 seconds*
-We pan over the city of Chicago, where several posters showing the discrimination towards Transformers are displayed in quick flashes. We hear a voice-over, similar to Kelsey Grammar
"We always knew they would return... We just never knew when"
-Cut to facility where hundreds of transformers are being manufactured.
"And they couldn't have picked a better time"
-A title smashes onto screen, "THIS SUMMER"
-We see a shot of Cade face to face with Harold Attinger, (Kelsey Grammar)
Cade-"What do you plan to do?"
-Cut to several Transformers looking beat, weakened, and or destroyed.
"Give them a blessing... An ending to their ever lasting struggles..."
-Cut back to Cade and Harold face to face. Harold, without hesitation, without blinking, he says in the most calm, disturbing voice;
"Their Extinction"
-A tile smashes on the screen "Prepare Yourself"
-This is where the montage of awesome stuff happens. Although my brother didn't give me every single detail, here are the highlights (In order)
• Cade, Tessa, and Shane are all running from a huge battle taking place behind them
• Smash title "For Extinction"
• A decepticon corners Tessa nears a car where he proceeds to pick her up. Following that is Cade yelling "Tessa!!"
• A bunch of helicopters are chasing after the car we saw Cade, Tessa, and Shane get in earlier in the trailer. But... a huge decepticon rises from the ocean/lake next to the highway, and throws a large abandon ship onto the highway causing bridges to collapse.
• Bumblebee burst through a building, literally, and retrieves Cade and Shane while sliding down the other side of the building.
• A shot of Cade holding this cybertonian artifact. (Can't describe it, but it's really gnarly looking and it's described as being a "compass" type thing)
Cade says something like "This has to lead to something"
-Cut to black. We hear a voice-over from OP
"It can't be"
-We cut to OP inside this cybernetic, futuristic cave type things. We fade in and out but then we the picture stand still. OP looks down and sees about 5 HUGE looking autobots.
-Flashes of the 5 autobots awakening... and transforming... and literally TOWERING over OP. (Think Kevin Hart next to Yao Ming)
-We cut to black and we hear a growling, raspy, ROAR! Grimlock baby.
-And now the money shot. We see a bunch of traffic on the main street of Hong Kong. A sort of bump is heard. It grows louder and louder. People exit their taxis and cars. They look behind them. The bump grows louder. So loud and strong that cars are subtlety jumping and people are rocking. People look... They start to scream... They run away...
IN THE DISTANCE, GRIMLOCK (RODE ON BY OPTIMUS), STRAFE (RODE ON BY BUMBLEBEE), SLAG, SLUDGE, AND SNARL, CAUSING A STAMPEDE AND CHARGING TOWARDS THE CAMERA (Minus Strafe who's flying).
-BAM. Cut to the title

I swear, every time I imagine this, this is literally the first thing that comes to mind:

Why go to the trouble of making it up if we are just going to see it next month?
Also I'm gunna guess Strafe is taking the place of Swoop? I haven't seen or heard much of him but I coulda sworn I saw his "blueprint" in the First Edition Optimus packaging.

That would be Strafe you're looking at.

Well there are some visual differences between the two. Strafe has 3 claws on his dino hand and the way his head crest leads to the front of his beak look different than the one in that picture.

You just answered your own question.Regimus Prime wrote:Now are the Dinobots (if that's still what their called in the Bay-verse) supposed to be in scale with actual Dinosaurs like on the G1 cartoon? If that's the case shouldn't they be smaller. Their pretty big if a 2 story tall autobot can ride them into battle

I don't think Lockdown is THAT big, considering that we wasn't so massive by cons standards in Animated, I don't think it's him. I belive that big guy that turture Optimus in teaser could be real Galvatron.5150 Cruiser wrote:-A LARGE BADASS looking robot (Lockdown?) exits the ship.

It's interesting how popular (and fun) is WMG about Movie that is still in made

UPDATE: This appears to be yet another iteration of fan art, by particularly skilled artist Tuna Kaan.

Optimus, Bumblebee, Leadfoot and Roadbuster's location is 'Unknown', Ratchet and Topspin are marked as 'Apprehended' and Sideswipe, Dino and Que have been 'Slain'. That appears to increase the rumours about some of the Wreckers showing up again, but definitely prevents the latter three from showing up.

The poster, in a similar vein to the original X-Men: Days of Future Past cover, depicts Autobot mugshots, revealing their current status.
As this may be considered a spoiler for some, we're leaving a gap here.

He has been described as a bounty hunter.

Perhaps this film will provide a fresh start for the franchise?![]()
That's the idea behind Age of Extinction.

- Occasional use of words such as darn, damn, hell
- Scenes that may cause a child brief anxiety, or fear
- Restrained portrayals of non-graphic violence
The question of which movie will debut the trailer remains unanswered. If earlier hints from Shoot for the Edit admin nelson prove to be accurate the trailer could be hitting theaters very soon.
