It looks like Paramount has decided to kick off their viral marketing campaign for Transformers: Age of Extinction. Below is a new video that warns to "Stay Alert. Be Vigilant. Keep Earth Human" along with a fantastic shot of Lockdown. At the end if says "If You See Something, Say Something Call 855.363.8392" along with the website TransformersAreDangerous.com. When dialing the number I just get a recorded message and if hit one hear a ding noise.

As for the site itself, the picture of Optimus is actually divided into three clickable sections when hover over it. The left section brings up the same video as below, the middle has fake press clipping from around the word reporting on the Chicago attack and the right is five different propaganda posters that you can download at various sizes. Thanks to Feris O. for the link.

Yesterday a press event was held in Sydney, Australia to help promote Transformers: Age of Extinction that Mark Wahlberg participated in. The event included around 15 minutes of footage from the film that based on the description (below) was probably the same as what was shown to theater execs at CinemaCon. A TFW2005 member posted a blog post describing the footage scenes. The info does confirm a few fan story assumptions. Since it is a description of story beats, spoiler warning!Read More »

The Alberta Film Ratings board has updated their site with the rating of a new trailer for Transformers: Age of Extinction. Labeled as "trailer #4", it was given a PG rating with a running time of 1:38. This is much less than the just released trailer so just going to assume it is probably for a final theatrical trailer to be released sometime in the next few weeks ahead of the June 27 release of the movie.

Another new TV spot, this time with Ratchet being attacked (betting movie opens with him being killed by Harold's forces). And just in case you are upset about that, i09.com helpfully reminds us about the "Things Michael Cares About More Than Transformers".

Here is the fourth TV spot for Transformers: Age of Extinction. The new to us scenes is a quick line from Kelsey Grammer as human big bad Harold Attinger.

Below is a new trailer to promote Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark video game coming to all major systems on June 24. The focus is on the Fall of Cybertron combiner Bruticus and his component Combaticons. It seems to suggest Bruticus might be a playable character but I wouldn't be surprised if he is "playable" in the same short limited "hulk smash" way he was used in Fall of Cybertron. Update: Added poster image.

Below is the new Transformers: Age of Extinction tie-in commercial for the GAC Trumpchi E-Jet vehicle that is currently only sold in China. The E-Jet probably makes an appearance in the movie as part of the advertising co-finance agreement with the country but its not clear if it will be a named Transformer character, minion chaff, or random background vehicle. A look at potential vehicle modes for the cars (probably not related to the movie), can be seen at the official website. (via TFW2005)
