So this firetruck guy. . . .

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

There is a dragon-lookin' thing in the trailer. So, there might be something to what Crab is saying.

Nah, people are calling Laserbeak on that. I'm inclined to agree.

More like Laserbeak is a dragonthing now. Hey, it's got wings, right? Thus far, all the animal-related TFs in the films have been drones or otherwise partnered to a larger guy, and being that Soundwave is still around in this one, I'd say it's possible it's Laserbeak.

You know what? Given the way those saws in his wings are, you might be right. But Laserbeak is the one everybody jumps to, of course, because he got more exposure. Since Buzzsaw was the pack-in with Sounds, so the cartoon never felt like they had to advertise him.

It probably is Laserbeak but I wouldn't put it past Bay to use names that are less familiar.

I can see it. I think it was intenional & not done by accident. as takara likes to throw in homages whenever they can.

that shield is shaped weird & I just don't see it shaped like a maximal symbol by accident.
