We’ve seen the Super Bowl spot for the fourth entry in the Transformers franchise, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and now comes the first official teaser trailer.

The trailer begins with star Mark Wahlberg acquiring and fixing up Optimus Prime before kicking into Michael Bay gear and showing some of the action you can expect. It includes some of the shots seen in the Super Bowl spot, but plenty of new stuff as well.

You can check out the first official teaser trailer below.

A TV spot for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, the fourth installment in the Transformers film franchise, aired during tonight’s Super Bowl game and is now online.

Check out the 30-second spot here below.

Transformers: Age of Extinction stars Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci, Jack Reynor, Kelsey Grammer and Sophia Miles, and is scheduled for a June 27, 2014 release.

At first I wasn’t really interested in this story because the early reports made it seem like it was just another man who broke onto the set of Transformers: Age Of Extinction and threw a punch at Michael Bay. There were also reports of an extortion scheme floating around. But soon the story developed into something stranger and started to resemble something you would see in an arcade beat-em up. It turns out that someone did break onto the set of the film while it was in production, got passed security, attacked a couple of crew members, and eventually got to Bay. His weapon of choice: an air conditioner.

Hit the jump to read statements from Paramount and Bay.

Transformers fans sat through three movies without seeing the Dinobots make an appearance, but for the upcoming fourth one, Michael Bay is making sure that they will make one grand entrance.

As you might have guessed from the header, Transformers 4 will have Dinobots. But instead of calling it just Transformers 4, Paramount has retitled the film, which will now be called Transformers: Age of Extinction. There have been rumors as to what the title could really be, and Paramount has bought a few domain names to throw a few people off, but in the end they have settled for Age of Extinction. Hit the jump to see the official teaser poster.

Recently, images of Autobot disguises, a Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse and a Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray, were teased. But as to what Autobot would take the respective forms remains to be seen, although Sideswipe did disguise himself as the Stingray in both Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and Transformers: Dark Of the Moon, whether or not that will carry over into Transformers 4 remains to be seen. So whilst the two vehicles go without robotic forms, two new images of familiar Autobots have been released.

Optimus Prime is getting a whole new body for Transformers 4, but is pretty much keeping the same color scheme that he has had from the last three Transformers films. However it’s Bumblebee who is getting a body by getting an old school makeover. Unfortunately it won’t be old school like VW Bug. Hit the jump to check out the new car bodies for Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

Transformers are famously known for being robots in disguise. Their forms have ranged from Mack trucks, fast cars, VW Bugs, tanks, and jets to cassette players and tapes (if you’re old school like that). But Michael Bay‘s vision has been a bit more grounded – if you could call it that – making sure that the sizes of Autobot and Decepticon could match their vehicular form.

Now with Transformers 4 well into production, we are getting our first look at two cars that will be seen in the film.

Check them out below.

Casting for director Michael Bay‘s upcoming Transformers 4 continues, with the announcement of actress Li Bingbing.

Bingbing is a Chinese actress who has appeared in a number of titles over the years, including The Forbidden Kingdom, 1911, and her recent jump to Hollywood for Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil: Retribution, where she played Ada Wong.

Director Michael Bay has scored quite the actor to play the main human villain in his next installment of the Transformers franchise.

It’s being reported that Kelsey Grammer, star of such titles as Cheers, Frasier, Boss, and Toy Story 2, has signed on for the role, which will see him playing a “counter intelligence guy” named Harold Attinger in the movie, which is currently known as Transformers 4.

As has become customary, Michael Bay and friends don’t make a big deal out of casting announcements, often times just letting fans know via Bay’s website or on the Twitter.

When it comes to Bay’s Transformers 4, we’ve already heard about Mark Wahlberg being cast, followed by the announcement of Jack Reynor. Now comes word of the actress chosen to play the female lead, Nicola Peltz.

A majority of any news concerning Michael Bay’s films has skipped the Hollywood trades and studios press releases and have been released online via his website. His latest announcement wasn’t for Pain & Gain, but for Transformers 4. And it isn’t just a casting announcement that is making waves, it’s that Transformers 4 will set up a brand new trilogy.

First up the casting news. Bay has cast What Richard Did’s Jack Reynor to play a race car driver and boyfriend to the daughter of Mark Walhberg’s character. Though Bay didn’t mention any specific details about the character, casting calls that went out described the character as such. So there could have been changes to the character since the call went out, but we won’t get into that much since Bay’s characters have as much personality as a rock.
