Want to Know What Classic Characters will be in TRANSFORMERS 4?
Whenever a rumor like this hits regarding Transformers 4, Michael Bay usually comes out and denies it. JoBlo claims to have an inside source that reveals the identity of several robot characters that might appear in the movie. I'm going to throw up a SPOILER warning, so I don't get crap for ruining the surprise. If you read on, it's your own fault.
Like I said; this is only a rumor. There is no confirmation of this news yet, but it would be extremely cool if it turns out to be true! Why? Because it means that we will finally get to see the Dinobots, Galvatron and Hound up on the big screen. Here's what they report...
That's right, folks, our source has confirmed that TRANSFORMERS 4 will feature none other than the famed Dinobots, including fan favorite Grimlock. No word on whether he'll retain his neanderthal voice, but one can only hope he does as that's a true staple of the character. One of the villains of the film will be a character named Lockdown, who has a ship full of decommissioned Transformers, including the dinobots, which are somehow brought back to life by a captured Optimus Prime. Prime is joined by returning autobot Bumblebee and at one point both characters (and potentially others) will "ride" the Dinobots into battle in Hong Kong (which fits well within the announcement that the film would film partially in China), with Prime on Grimlock and Bumblebee on a Pterandon, presumably Swoop.
Additionally, the autobot Hound will make his debut, as well as a former "Samurai" Decepticon that wants to regain his honor and become an Autobot. And what about Megatron, who is presumed dead after the last film? Well, fans of TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE will be happy to know that not only will the dinobots be making their debut, but also Galvatron, who is basically Megatron "reborn" (and originally voiced by the first Spock, Leonard Nimoy).
I don't know about you, but I've been waiting for the Dinobots to show up in this franchise, so I sincerely hope we get to see them. I also hope that they are portrayed right. We know that all of the Transformers are getting redesigned for this movie, and I'm interested to see what they end up looking like. I kind of hope they simplified them. I thought the first designs they came up with for the movies were way too complicated.
Are there any other robots you'd like to see show up in this sequel?
