Like it or not, Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction is coming. And it’s coming soon. So expect lots of promotional material for the bombastic sequel, including things like concept art. Vilsco Textiles, a Hasbro license holder for Transformers toys, has released a bunch of artwork that sheds some light on the designs for some of the film’s main characters. They give us glimpses of what to expect when we see fan favorites like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, Drift, Lockdown, and Grimlock later this year in the fourth Transformers film.
Transformers: Age of Extinction is the fourth installment of the live-action film series and stars Mark Wahlberg in the lead role. Serving as a sequel to Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the film takes place four years after the invasion of Chicago. Like its predecessors, the film is directed by Michael Bay and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. The screenplay is written by Ehren Kruger, who served as screenwriter since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This is the first film in the series to feature an entirely new cast and the first to feature the Dinobots. Returning Transformers include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Ratchet.
Transformers: Age of Extinction is set for release on June 27, 2014, in IMAX and 3D.
