ROBOT APOCALYPSE

Back in March a US Airways express flight nearly collided with a camoflauged drone at 2,300 ft.

P.S. How do I officially enlist in the resistance? This really pisses me off that people nearly died because someone thinks these things are toys.

Almost like Luke's hand.

THREE SIR BAY NEWS ALERTS
New Images and Details from Producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura
Image of Optimus in the Willem Dafoe pose from Platoon, and Bumblebee shooting something and with Chinese star throwers on his back.

Quotes from DiBonaventura:

"The sword is emblematic of what we've done to Optimus Prime as a whole," says Di Bonaventura. "He's been upgraded with more abilities."

Bumblebee takes his martial arts to another level with Chinese star-style adornments on his armor. The two also have new souped-up transformation vehicles. Optimus Prime eventually reveals himself "like a knight in shining armor" as an impressive Great Western truck, says Di Bonaventura. Bumblebee re-emerges as a new souped-up Camaro. Yellow, naturally.

The biggest difference in Extinction is that humans are fearful and less trusting of both heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons since the Transformer destruction of the last film. After devoting himself to protecting humans, Optimus Prime turns hard and cynical about this human betrayal.

Marky Mark and Boy Heartthrob talk Dinobots

"The way the Dinobots come to life is spectacular. They're not the easiest bunch to control, either. It's pretty awesome how they evolved, how they took the form of those dinosaurs. Then to see what Optimus has to do to get them to comply and save humanity, it's pretty incredible. They have everything (when asked if they have weapons from the cartoons and comics). Everything you can imagine. They're giant dinosaurs that are also robots... What's not to love about that?"

Reynor added, "And they run around blowing shit up, just generally being crazy. I think if there's anybody in the world who can bring robot dinosaurs to life and can make them incredibly cool, it's Michael Bay. I think [audiences'] minds are going to be blown when they see them on the screen."
