Transformers: Age of Extinction (or simply Transformers 4) is a 2014 American-Chinese science fiction action film based on the Transformers franchise. It is the fourth installment of the live-action Transformers film series and the final installment for Michael Bay to direct and stars Mark Wahlberg in the lead role. It is both a sequel to 2011's Dark of the Moon and a soft reboot of the franchise, the film takes place five years later, after the Decepticon invasion of Chicago. Like its predecessors, the film is directed by Michael Bay and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Ehren Kruger is the film's screenwriter, having written every Transformers film since Revenge of the Fallen. The film features an entirely new cast of human characters and is the first in the series to feature the Dinobots. Returning Transformers include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Leadfoot, Brains, and Megatron (now known as Galvatron). The film was released on June 27, 2014, in IMAX and 3D.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014):
1. Galvatron in this film is based on his original version from The Transformers: The Movie (1986) (Megatron resurrected as a minion, who eventually rebels and returns to leading the Decepticons) and Nemesis Prime from Transformers Prime (2010) (a human-built duplicate of Optimus Prime). His black color scheme is also a homage to the The Transformers (1984) Decepticon Motormaster, an Earth-built clone/rival of Optimus Prime.
2. Ratchet appears to have already known Lockdown prior to the movie's events. This could be a reference to the online Cyber Missions episodes, which took place between Transformers (2007) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) and featured Ratchet and Lockdown fighting against each other (itself a homage to Transformers: Animated (2007)).
3. Optimus Prime's alternate mode in this film is a cab-over truck and later a customized Western Star 4900 SB truck. The cab-over truck is a homage to Optimus Prime's original alternate mode in The Transformers (1984); and the tanker truck pays homage to Prime's G2 mode (where he was a 1995 Western Star 4964EX tanker truck) and Transformers Prime (2010) mode (where he took on the alternate mode of a military truck).
4. At the end of the film, Optimus Prime leaves Earth to embark on a quest to find the creators of the Transformers. This was one of the originally proposed ideas for the plot of The Transformers: The Movie (1986) that was rejected for unknown reasons.

Get the Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)mug. A seriously underrated gamemode from Call of Duty: Ghosts where instead of killing zombies, you destroy fungal colonies called "Hives" and kill hordes of ancient creatures known as Cryptids along with the final objective depending on one of FIVE missions you choose to complete. Lore-wise, the events of unearthing the cryptids led to Humanity's possible extinction, hence the name.

Get the extinct by instinctmug. Coffee extinction 2030 is when Coffee will become extinct. It will happen between 2030 and 2040 because of global warming (climate change). No Coffee means no Caffeine. No Caffeine means we will have to rely on Strattera and Adipex pills from MyHotDrug.com and Modafinil and Armodafinil pills from ModafinilXL.com and Khat seeds to grow Khat from GardenShaman.Eu and extract it with limes and drink the bitter juice. Legalizing Khat (which is more drought resistant and withstands higher temperatures than Coffee) is a strategy to deal with global warming. Using Strattera, Modafinil, Armodafinil, and Adipex in the meantime works. Benzedrex also works.
Tony: I like Modafinil, Armodafinil, and Adipex. It's the Coffee of the future. I stocked up, so I'm prepared for the future Coffee extinction 2030.

An example of a political party that is politically extinct is the Whig Party. It began going extinct in the early 1850s while trying to recover from the presidency of Franklin Pierce. It was trying to form platform to run on in future elections, but they were unable to form an effective platform and over time they began losing large amounts of support to the point at which the party eventually collapsed.
