Guys, I’m actually kind of looking forward to this movie now. The trailer for Transformers: Age of Extinction either does a great job of pretending this movie is going to have a lot more focus on character and the social implications of giant robots, or this movie might be a Transformers sequel that we can all be excited about.
I’m not even a particularly big fan of the Michael Bay Transformers movies or sequels in general, but they’re really drawing me in with the whole Ghostbusters 2, the Transformers are old and out of work, “we don’t need you anymore” angle on the story.
For you hardcore Transformers fans out there, it was pointed out to Nerdist that the billboard that references the earlier films with “Remember Chicago” features a phone number on it. If you call that number, 855-363-8392, (just make sure your volume is low. I may never hear out of that ear again) you’ll get to listen to a warning message about how dangerous Transformers are.
Then, it will direct you to transformersaredangerous.com, where you can sign up for updates about the movie and get a pretty great Optimus Prime poster.

- We were pretty excited when we saw the Dinobots in the first teaser
- Here’s a giant Transformer sculpture built from a real car
- Hey, it has to at least be better than the Captain Planet movie, which is happening
