Grimlock KING!!!

Ok, so I wouldn’t normally sit on the edge of my seat when I hear the new Michael Bay Transformers movie has a trailer, because the storyline usually blows and the transformers generally look like walking razorblades. Let’s not even get into the human casting.  But I must admit I still get chills when I hear that signature transforming sound. *shivers*

However I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that the Transformers 4: Age of Extinction trailer that was shown during the Superbowl, contained Dinobots! Specifically GRIMLOCK!

The reason for my surprise? Bay has voiced his distaste for the Dinobots in the past, so I didn’t expect them to appear even though it had been confirmed a while ago that they would indeed be in the 4th movie. (Although, I’m a little confused as to why Grimlock has horns, but I’m so excited I really don’t care why)

It looks like everyone’s gotten a revamp: Bumblebee and Optimus don’t look quite so razor-bladey. Instead the look is a little more clean and not as messy as they have been in the past. Some have attributed the new look to Transformers: Prime, which I have no problem with.

Also, it seems the franchise is getting a bit of a reboot plot-wise to make way for future franchises as they may not have Michael Bay at the helm. Maybe even a Beast Wars movie? *crosses fingers*

But we CAN expect to see Hound and Cyclonus to join Grimlock in Age of Extinction.

Oh! Here’s a mashup of all the transformations from Michael Bay’s Transformers movies. RAZORBLADES? NO?
