Transformers FOUR

Why does the article bother to mention that this is not a reboot? Why on EARTH would any random assume that this is any other then the 4th movie in the series? 71.181.24.137 (talk) 20:56, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because there were reports/rumors that it would be a reboot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.193.86.172 (talk) 17:47, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. That "not a reboot" would only hardly make sense if accompanied by a "contrarily to initial reports" which aren't there ATM. I removed that part of the text. --uKER (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Call sheet information

The call sheet revealed much of information, but now it has been removed at Paramount's request. Do yYou think we should undo the new info added here because of that? --CAJH (talk) 9:27, 25 August 2013 (EET)

Unicron, Galvatron and the Quintessons

Is there a remote possibility that we might see Unicron, Galvatron and/or the Quintessons in this upcoming film? AdamDeanHall (talk) 19:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing's been said about any of those characters.Transphasic (talk) 00:49, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Premise needs to be deleted.

There is no plot summary for the film, so why is their a rumored premise as it's official premise. 71.188.16.34 (talk) 21:52, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and deleted the premise that was present and put a more, direct premise that is in line with that the story will be about up. 71.188.16.34 (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cyclonus

Cyclonus's name is mentioned by a leaked call sheet and even though I put a source on it, the IP users only remove it. Why?! CAJH (talk) 16:09, 2 February 2014 (EET)

No one knows if it was only a production name. But so were Dirft and Crosshairs under that doubt and they were still added to the list. CAJH (talk) 16:11, 2 February 2014 (EET)

T4 Superbowl Trailer spot, Marketing section

Here is a source to cite this for the wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.188.16.34 (talk) 18:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Thanks! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:25, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Super Bowl trailer showed the twin-headed pterosaur seen in leaked toy images that was hinted as Strafe. Of course, the name is not officially confirmed and I was unable to find the toyline info from any OFFICIAL page. But could we mark the appearance of that Dinobot (without the name since it's not officilly confirmed), because of what we saw in the trailer and using a still as a source? Same thing was done with Grimlock. - CAJH (talk) 10:39, 3 February 2014 (EET)
In regards to that CAJH, per WP:FILMMARKETING, we need a source that has commentary on the clip, not just a image still. It would need to say something along the lines of "Dinobots shown, including Grimlock and a new, twin-headed pterosaur." Something like that. It has to specifically mention that for our inclusion. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:30, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Transformers 4, Crosshairs

75.157.142.233 (talk) 03:30, 4 February 2014 (UTC) For the Transformers 4, Age of Extinction page, it says one of the Transformers "A green 2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray", is there. I would like to state, that, that Transformer's name is Crosshairs.[reply]

Thanks!

 Not done The sources provided are not reliable sources to use as citations. However, I have found one that will work and will be adding the info to the page. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:59, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

I don't know about some sites but TFW2005 is a very reliable source for the movies. More reliable than other sites. People who works for Hasbro are members. You guys should visit the site and actually read the posts and news instead of just saying some random stuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobleboivin (talk • contribs) 06:44, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't "saying random stuff". It's policy. How it got by this long is beyond me. Please read WP:UGC and WP:SPS. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 06:48, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Snoop would not be a Dinobot, but the Predacon Predaking

Swoop the Dinobot which is a Pteranodon, which in ar'ticulo mentioned has two heads and two tails, where you see the image of the Bumblebee riding, happens to be a scene where Bumblebee is mounted on the and empeiza to attack, or if possibly this is the main enemy, as it is possibly Predaking, the main villain.--Shinobilanterncorps (talk) 19:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This movie is not suppose to be like Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters. The character you see in the trailer is indeed one of Dinobots and transforms into twin-headed Pteranodon: Toyline indicates character's name as Strafe. "Swoop" is merely a fan speculation, since the Pteranodon Dinobot had that name in other continuities. But there are still not enough official confirmations to add Strafe into the list of characters in this movie. --CAJH (talk) 12:27, 7 February 2014 (EET)


All the movies of this franchise has been based on the Generation 1 Transformers storyline. Due to cinematic limitations, the directors crammed the movie in an effort to basically provide each character its own unique story. --Fowl_vet

Sources to use

So my time has been really strained, and I haven't been able to take the time and dedicate readding sources to this page as I would have liked. I am adding below, sources where the info can be sourced from. This is a listing of all the articles reliable source IGN has done on the film. Use it as necessary, but be cautious to avoid a "rumor" article, versus a reporting/fact article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:29, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stinger

The newest trailer hints Stinger being originally a man-made who becomes a Decepticon. But let me guess: because it's not clearly officially said by anyone from the production team, it can't yet be written here? --CAJH (talk) 11:21, 5 March 2014 (EET)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Cannolis (talk) 18:29, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Slash

Does ANYONE know yet whether Slash is the movie universe version of old Chopperface himself, the long-missed, honorable Dinobot from the Beast Wars? It'd be long overdue, and as a fan, that would be a welcome sight. The news of a velociraptor in the group perked my hopes, up... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.206.204 (talk) 16:59, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

Given that all the information in the plot section was an amalgamation of all the information from reliable sources used elsewhere in the article, including the official trailers, I have restored it as it is a good grounding to add/remove information as it becomes available. Anyone wants to question it should discuss here. -- MisterShiney ✉ 14:31, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]


It might be beneficial to mention the criticism and reception to the series, especially the palpable negative criticism to Michael Bay's directing and his astonishing track record for making movies devoid of coherent plot that still manage to succeed at the box office, which is likely due more to the love of the Transformers than to any association with Michael Bay. 2605:6000:EC41:1900:6D50:CFF4:D75C:5F22 (talk) 06:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


All the movies of this franchise has been based on the Generation 1 Transformers storyline. Due to cinematic limitations, the directors crammed the movie in an effort to basically provide each character its own unique story.

For example any Transformers Gen 1 fan would know that the Dinobots or in the movie known as "legendary knights" has been created by Wheeljack and Ratchet. In this movie, it appears that the explanation says that the earth has been bombed with Seeds, a grenade changing any organic form of life into metal and are harvested by the Creators for production material. In Gen 1 Transformers, the Quintessons, a 5-faced floating bot are the boss of Cybertron who decides on their fate.

I would recommend to Michael Bay for once, adhere to the true storyline of the Transformers for the sake of the ones who saw it first, like me and the others. This movies would basically tell the younger generation that this is the storyline of the Transformers, which has been deviated from the story that made us cherish and love the story of humans and robots, working together for the common good. --Fowl_vet

Garbage truck

Because we no longer use TFW2005 as a source, we must find another source for this: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/age-of-extinction-junkheap-revealed-179770/ A garbage truck Decepticon named Junkheap. His alternate mode was seen during filming. But do we add him to the character list or not? CAJH (talk) 20:23, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

wheres the plot?

Can someone, anyone please put down a plot already? cause I think it's kinda ovious here. Look at other movie sites they say: humans are using the transformers technology to expand what they can control and all the while a dark, evil transformer manace sets planet earth in its sights.

If anyone of you editors on this site are capable of getting info on the plot, nows the time. And please could you keep it there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.231.186 (talk) 17:43, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Slog and Snarl?

2 Dinobots, Slog and Snarl, were on something about doritos. Though they haven't been seen a lot, the characters have official artwork. Add him or not? 72.69.96.205 (talk) 01:37, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

http://io9.com/first-look-at-more-new-dinobots-of-transformers-age-of-1576654201 At first Snarl was thought to be Stegosaurus/Ankylosaurus hybrid, but toys confirm that he is just Stegosaurus. CAJH (talk) 13:52, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox starring parameter and Stanley Tucci

According to Template:Infobox film, the starring parameter of a film infobox is supposed to contain "the names of the actors as they are listed in the billing block of the poster for the film's original theatrical release." Per this guideline, I removed all the actors except for Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci from the starring parameter because only they are listed in the billing block. Since Tucci is officially billed second, I also put him second in the cast section of the article. In disagreement with this is Larry1996, who believes the infobox should have more than two actors in it and Tucci cannot be billed above Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor because they apparently portray the film's deuteragonist and tritagonist respectively. What are other people's thoughts on who should be in the billing block and where Tucci should be placed in the cast section? Bluerules (talk) 23:25, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tucci should be placed in 4th place, he shouldn't be in 2nd

Larry1996 (talk) 23:39, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where he's placed is dependent on where official material places him. At the moment, the only actors with official billing are Wahlberg and Tucci. Everyone else is up to speculation, but the official poster and the official website bill Tucci second. Bluerules (talk) 00:28, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Traxes and Vehicons

Ever since we found about these Trax characters, we've been assuming them as Vehcions as they were seen in Kre-O, but without any official confirmation. However, I've found two signs that may finally make that rumor false even though not to add Vehicons to the character list yet. The first sign are Lockdown's humanoid robot minions seen in this TV spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2VrhQj6BY. They resemore than those Age of Extinction Kre-O set Vehicons more than those Trax robots. And the other sign is this article: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-transformers-cars-20140614-story.html where General Motors somehow are referring Trax not only as a vehicle mode name, but also as a name for these robots. What do you say? We should keep the Vehicons away from the character list, since not confirmed outside of Kre-O sets. But what about the article about Trax. Do you think it's safe to write "Traxes" as a name for those Chevrolet Trax robots? CAJH (talk) 18:20, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It may sound strange to see "Trax" as a robot name, but maybe not if they would appear to be human-made like Galvatron and Stinger. CAJH (talk) 18:22, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Movie poster

The poster needs to stop changing. Yesterday(6/16)it changed 4 times in 20 minutes. keep the one of Prime leaning on his sword, thats my vote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.192.82 (talk) 15:35, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Character pics

It would be nice if some pics of the new bots could be added to their respective pages. the only one who has one is ,I think, Galvatron — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.192.82 (talk) 15:43, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile Game?

Hey! The mobile game is out. Shouldn't somebody add that on this page? Transformers 4Fan (talk) 16:25, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What KSI stands for?

Many review have different view of the company name which is shortened as "KSI". Is any of them ever REALLY mentioned in the film? CAJH (talk) 10:38, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The film itself mentions KSI as "Kinetic Solutions." - Areaseven (talk) 10:51, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And nothing about the letter "I"? CAJH (talk) 11:44, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Likely the default 'Incorporated' for companies. See Incorporation (business). Dru of Id (talk) 15:21, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Four Years Later or Five Years Later?

The article contradicts itself. How long has it been since Dark of the Moon and how do we know?

INFOBOX: Starring

I 100% understand the reasons for only having Mark Wahlberg and Stanly Tucci in starring, considering they were on the poster. However it seams odd only including those two when the film contained a large number of principal characters. It seams logical that at least Nicola Peltz, Kelsey Grammar and Peter Cullen should be included. Please leave your thoughts below. It is important to note that in the trailer only Wahlberg was included. Warner REBORN (talk) 21:16, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
