Transformers 4: Age of Extinction

Look at this and just try to say its not cool.
BTW I don't think they were trying to be accurate on this.
This might be the first PG 13 movie I've ever seen. (other than Jurassic Park, of course )

A little violent but y'know, meh.

Was that Unicron? And, Optimus Prime on a dinosaur...kind of reminds of a T-shirt I saw once.

I could be wrong but I do not believe Unicron exists in this transformers universe or continuity.The ultra bad guy in this movie is Galvatron and he was built by humans apparently. Toss in the dinobots..there are more than the original five as well. There is a flying pterosaur with two heads, a spinosaurus, grimlock with horns, a triceratops, an apatosaurus, and  a stegosaurus, as well.

Still not a huge fan of Grimlock's dragon design but at least he made it into a film..hopefully he won't die.

[alexeratops]

Ooh, guys notice at 2:23 Grimlock flings on of the Bad guys! haha

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Ooh, guys notice at 2:23 Grimlock flings on of the Bad guys! haha

Which is exactly what he should do. Totally rage on the enemy with primal fury..that's Grimlock.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Wal mart has begun getting these toys in and there is a figure with Prime riding grimlock like in the movie trailer . There are also constructa bot versions of some of the dinos. The Spinosaurus looks interesting, given his new arrival in the transformers pantheon. I admit to liking the figure of the flying reptile despite having two heads and two tails>? Maybe cause its blue ....

Hehheh, When I saw this trailer, I had one of my giddy moments, when I just talk and talk and everyone gives me
The look!
and after I realize that what I said made no sense at all.

in tfw2005 I started a HUGH morphological/anatomical/paleontological debate on grimlocks horns. I went on for days.

[CityRaptor]

Really? He is a Robot Dinosaur from Space, so inaccuracies can be be excused.

Any link to your thread?

Yes, really.

No, just go to tfw2005 and type in "what exactly is Grimlock?"

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Oh you can excuse it..but he was always a dinosaur in the past. Would it have been so hard to make him look a bit more like a T-REX ? Like this even :

[CityRaptor]

Isn't he basically a Tyrannosaurus with horns? That is what I would still call a Robot Dinosaur, just not an accurate one. That was to be expected, given that in this continuity the panther-based Ravage looks like this:

And Laserbeak, the Condor, like this:

[Ultimatedinoking]

Still, it makes him look like a dragon, and dragons aren't dinosaurs

[CityRaptor]

Well, Dinosaurs don't breath fire either. Ofcourse we don't know if he and his Dinobots aren't some kind of Cybertronian Wildlife, like the Predacons were in Prime.

I alkso think that it is interesting that the Slash actually has feathers. Not the first Robot Dinosaur to have them, but still interesting.

Hmm I thought they were going to be man made transformers, any word on if they actually transform into anything?

[amargasaurus cazaui]

The decepticon bad guy and his right hand figure are both man made, I know the leader is named Galvatron and he does transform although I forget what mode. I can almost surmise mankind playing the role of unicron here, in finding Megatron hopelessly trashed and restoring him to a new body in return for a few services . The last part is guesswork but it would appear to make sense.

[alexeratops]

Well in the old animated series they were normal Transformers but they saw dino skeletons and tought that would be good to look like, but thats all I know.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Apparently the movie offers up an origin for the dinobots, because in the trailer for it we see a real dinosaur. I am guessing the ark crashes to earth , or another autobot ship and sends out drones that determine the dinosaurs are the prevalent life forms and so the ship creates a set of autobot warriors in dinosaur images, much like the original cartoon. All of the dinobots transform from robots to dinosaurs....an apatosaurus, a triceratops, a stegosaurus, tyrannosaurus, pterosaur, and spinosaurus. Not sure if there is an alternate mode for them, however the new toys so far do not indicate that.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

There were pics from Toyfair showing Grimlock's robot form...not sure about the others.

Maybe they start out more dinosaur-ish and then change to look like " dragons " to blend in...since they are found in an Asian temple.
