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)

Last week Singapore Toys R Us held their Transformers: Age of Extinction Toy Madness event to mark the release of the new toy line. Part of that includes a special gold chromed version of various new toys including leader class Optimus Prime available to Star card members only. From r3load.net is the below video that shows of the special edition figure while their are a few picture here from the event.

An interesting new poster has been released today for Transformers: Age of Extinction that depicts Optimus Prime on his knees while the debris of the Detroit Chinese set is behind him. As for the slogan, its changed to "This is not war. It's extinction." Thanks to Feris O. for the heads-up.

Another tie-in promotion has been announced between Big Red and Transformers: Age of Extinction. As part of the partnership, Big Red will be sporting "Collector's Edition" cans bearing Transformers 4 logos, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Fans will also have a chance to win $25,000 in prizes. Press release below.

Here is the new marketing tie-in spot for Oreos and Transformers: Age of Extinction that was billed as directed by Michael Bay. While I have my doubts Bay directed the father and son bits, it is technically not a lie to say he directed since most of the commercial is movie footage. Technically the commercial shows more not yet seen footage buts it not really anything that wasn't covered by the trailers.

Below is the international trailer for Transformers: Age of Extinction. Most of it is the same as the US trailer but there are a few differences such as the joke scene between Wahlberg and a bystander and the use of Imagine Dragons' new song. Thanks to Silver Knight for the link. Update: Previous copy was pulled, replacement embed up thanks to Feris O.

Paramount Pictures Mexico seems to have gone all out to promote Transformers: Age of Extinction in the country. The attraction/marketing event features an animatronic Grimlock along with the vehicles for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Crosshairs. Below are a few images and a video of Grimlock, more can be found here. Thanks to Luis C. for the pics.

Today a new trailer has been released for the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark game that is coming out on all the major systems on June 24. The game seems to use the graphics engines and gameplay as Transformers: War for Cybertron but with a new story that incorporates the War for Cybertron characters with the movie characters. Oddly for a "gameplay trailer" (below) it is light on gameplay footage. If interested, more about the achievements for the game is here, but so far no indication of multi-player achievements (at least not yet). Thanks to Feris O. for the link.

Here is a new banner ad featuring Grimlock for Transformers: Age of Extinction. The release date is for the UK.

In an inteview with Hero Complex the voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen, comments on re-auditioning for the role of Optimus Prime, touches on Age of Extinction and his feelings on doing the iconic voice.

“It’s kind of surreal to audition for a character that you basically created,” said Cullen, who originated the Autobot’s stentorian voice in TV performances from 1984 to ‘87. “But I didn’t expect Michael to know what I knew about ‘Transformers.’ I was ready for anything.”

Early this morning we got a look at a new Transformers: Age of Extinction TV spot that aired during "The Voice." Below is now the official HD release of the same video that includes a mini-interview with Imagine Dragons. The band wrote a new song for the movie and soundtrack called "Battle Cry" that is part of the spot. The second video uses a few seconds of new footage to announce the band's participation in the world premiere of the movie in Hong Kong. Thanks to Feris O. for the links.

Two more video reviews for those looking start their Transformers: Age of Extinction toy line collection. The first review is for Voyager Hound that might just be the first toy in the line that I might consider getting with a two great modes despite the simplified transformation. In the second review Voyager Galvatron looks good in truck mode but the robot mode is meh. Might be more interested depending on how the repaint looks (and there is always a repaint, just a matter of when).

Oreos are soon going to be sporting Transformers: Age of Extinction branding as a new Orea television campaign will be starting soon involving the movie characters. The first commercial, titled "Little Help", was directed by Michael Bay and will premiere more or less worldwide on May 15th. No indication of exactly when but pretty sure it will be hard to miss on TV before its all said and done. The image to the left is an example of one of the store displays but not sure if that is the worldwide look or not. Full press release below.

More Transformers: Age of Extinction news as the PR machine is stoked for Thursday's morning premiere of the next trailer. MichaelBay.com has posted a press release providing some of the details on the movies' world premiere in Hong Kong, China on June 19th that will include a live performance by Imagine Dragons. If I recall I think the last premiere was held in Russia with Linkin Park performing. After that will be "local" premieres in major markets/countries. Full press release below.Read More »

Looks like the USA Today article was the sign we were looking for as the MichaelBay.com Facebook page has confirmed (along with Apple Trailers) that the new theatrical trailer for Transformers: Age of Extinction will be released on Thursday, May 15 No exact time frame is provided. at Midnight Pacific time / 3AM Eastern time. Last month the UK ratings board indicated this trailer would be 2 minutes, 25 seconds long. As for watching it on the big screen, safe to assume it is attached to Godzilla but as usual mileage will vary on that as theaters can choose to do with the trailer what they wish. Thanks to John W. for heads-up.

Update: Now have an exact time via MichaelBay.com:

‘Transformers 4' Theatrical Trailer Debuts at Apple.com on May 15 12AM [PT\3AM ET]

News of a new theatrical trailer means a new poster. If the image of Optimus on Grimlock seems familiar, that is because its an improved version of the leaked one from last week.

I am thinking that a new trailer is coming in the next week or so. On Friday was a bit of a mini info dump related to Transformers: Age of Extinction and now had another today that includes an new article from USA Today that has three fantastic promotional images (I don't think they are movie stills) and an interview with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura as he promotes the film. All we need now is an Entertainment Tonight tease of an on set visit or the like to seal the trailer deal. Highlights and other two images below.

They "are bigger and badder-ass than they have ever been," says Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who has produced all four films, with Steven Spielberg and Bay as executive producers.

The wait is over as "Cybertron Monday" (as christened by Hasbro) has essentially marked the official launch of the Transformers: Age of Extinction toyline for online stores including HasbroToyShop.com. However it seems once you add shipping costs and the average 5-10 days to get it, might be better off waiting until May 15th (17th I forget which) for the store side release date. Still keep an eye out at your local favorite toy store as I would be surprised if most stores stick to the official date considering Hasbro is essentially giving online competition the illusion of an advance release (once add shipping times not really).

On a related note, below are video reviews to two of the leader class figures from the line with Optimus Prime and Grimlock. For me I intend to skip the entire line and just stick with Generation releases as really have seen nothing that grabs my interest. Update: Added Hasbro's press release announcing Cybertron Monday.

Today is the official 30th birthday for Transformers. For the United States, the line launched 1984 with the cartoon series and first wave of toys that included Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Jazz and a whole lot more. Today was chosen because its the day that Transformers #1 limited series was released by Marvel that introduced all backstory and characters we all grew to love. Shortly after the toys popped on shelves with the TV series premiering in the fall of 1984.

From there, well the rest is literal history as the franchise has become one of the most enduring in all of toy history with multiple different television shows, revisions, and lines while maintaining that near constant of Optimus Prime and his Autobots vs Megatron and his Decepticons for control of Cybertron and Earth with the theme best summarized by Prime as "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

Via a Frito-Lay's Transformers 4 tie-in campaign in Turkey, we now have the first look at Slog (not a typo for Slug) and Snarl along with a look at Strafe's robot mode. I assume these are based on the CGI models for the film but so far Grimlock and Strafe are the only confirmed Dinobots in the film. The rest of the campaign images for other characters including Crosshairs, Hound and Lockdown can be found here.

Hasbro has posted a new video on their YouTube page that discusses the design of the Transformers: Age of Extinction toys with designers John Warden and Bill Paukert. It gives a broad overview of the process probably year long process that ends with the toys on the shelf. Maybe one of these days, perhaps as an extra on the home video release (hint, hint), Hasbro might provide an almost documentary type video that follows a Transformers toy from concept to shelf.

Available now on iTunes and Google Play is the official Transformers: Age of Extinction app. The app lets you choose size, play various "missions" to unlock content, introduces the new TF4 characters and watch promotional videos for the movie. It also has a look at the toy line-up, an augmented reality thing with Grimlock and play around with building your own virtual Transformer. Not everything is available now but more will likely be added in a run up to the movies release on June 27.

It seems a casting call went up for a Transformers: Age of Extinction viral video. Posted on ActorsAccess (login required), it is seeking actors to play a news anchor, correspondent, Mexican store owner and UK young woman that will be part of a news report that will interface with Optimus Prime. The call is for LA only. The details themselves don't matter besides an indication that some kind of viral campaign for the movie is on the horizon. If curious though, the full call is here.

A new poster has appeared online for Transformers: Age of Extinction. It depicts what is quickly becoming the signature image of the film with knight Optimus riding his horse...I mean Grimlock into battle.

Sunday two images were posted by Steve Jablonsky for friends on his Facebook page to mark beginning recording the score for Transformers: Age of Extinction. For the first image (below left), he wrote ""The calm before the storm....Lockdown doesn't stand a chance against a room full of LA musicians". In the second image posted later, you get a tease of potential titles for two of the tracks with "Optimus / Joshua Talk" and "Taking To The Streets". (via TFW2005)

As we get close to the release of Transformers: Age of Extinction, the various promotional campaigns have started. Some are small like in the US with some standees and trailers but other countries are going a touch bigger. An example comes fro TFW2005 with the two images below of a train in China painted with a lovely mural of Bumblebee, Strafe and Scorn that is based on Hasbro's artwork.
