DINOBOTS! Get a look at the first footage from the explosive Transformers: Age Of Extinction

Breaking News: Michael Bay STILL likes explosions...

Eoghan Doherty

Unfamiliar with the plot of Michael Bay’s fourth Transformers film? Don’t worry, let JOE help out with this handy summary…

EXPLOSIONS! AGH! SHOUTY BITS! JACK REYNOR! AGH! MORE EXPLOSIONS! DAD! OPTIMUS PRIME! DINOBOTS! OPTIMUS PRIME RIDING DINOBOTS! EVEN MORE EXPLOSIONS! AAAAAAAGH!

And so there you have it.

Bay released the first footage from Transformers 4 AKA Transformers: Age Of Extinction during last night’s disappointing Superbowl XLVIII and, in spite of JOE’s better judgement and trying not to get our hopes up too much, we do have to admit that those Dinobots look absolutely flippin’ brilliant.

The film stars Marky Mark Wahlberg as a mechanic who gets caught up in the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, while his funky bunch consists of Nicola Peltz as his daughter and, very excitedly, up and coming Irish star Jack Reynor as Shane, presumably the film’s young hero/Peltz’s love interest/Optimus Prime’s new BFF.

Jack, you wucky, wucky b*stard.

Still no sign of Kelsey Grammer’s FrasierCraneBot anywhere though…

Transformers: Age Of Extinction is due for release in Irish cinemas on 10 July 2014.
