By way of this post on Reddit, we have a potential motherlode of Transformers 4 casting news for you! What you can find at Reddit is a Transformers 4 casting sheet distributed to extras which gives lots of character names - including confirmation that yes, Dinobots of some description are in Transformers 4! The casting sheet details over a dozen stunt experts being assigned to "Dinobot stunts" which, assuming this casting sheet is genuine and not a hoax, confirms Dinobots for Transformers 4 and also seemingly confirms they will be involved in some kind of major set piece.

That is not all that this sheet reveals though - there are lots of character names listed, including a group of robots! The robots are listed under Pic Cars and include:

New Optimus, Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Drift, Hound, Lambo, Pagani, Cyclonus

Two new names jump right out at us there - Crosshairs and Cyclonus are new to us. Crosshairs might be a new name for Slingshot who was previously rumored here. Cyclonus is completely new to us, but if his inclusion follows the original character's associations, then it might support the rumors of Galvatron appearing in Transformers 4 (although as the Movie series does its own thing, this is entirely conjecture on our part).

Note that this listing also seems to confirm Drift, who was rumored to be the Bugatti at the same time as Slingshot was given as the name of the Corvette Stingray. Of interest also is that of the four named Autobots, three of them were seen in these on set videos driving through the streets of Detroit - material which again suggests that Drift and Crosshairs are the Bugatti and the Corvette respectively.


The casting sheet also details the names of several of the human actors:

Mark Wahlberg as Cade
Stanley Tucci as Joshua
Kelsey Grammer as (Harold) Attinger, previously confirmed
Nicola Peltz as Tessa
Jack Reynor as Shane
Sophia Myles as Darcy
Li Bingbing as Su Yueming
Titus Welliver as Savoy
TJ Miller as Lucas
James Bachman as Gill Wembley
Melanie Specht, Abigail Klein and Victoria Summer are all listed as playing executive assistants to Joshua
Lastly, Ty Smith is listed as playing "SOG Agent #3", which leads one to question just what is SOG?


The final item in this exceedingly long news post is that there are several set and scene descriptions. Spoilers ahead, these detail some potential plot points.

There are many references to KSI, which is described as a campus. Several scenes are set to take place there involving Attinger, Joshua (Stanley Tucci's character) and Cade, Mark Wahlberg's character. The sequence of scenes appears to go that Cade is questioned by Attinger before being rescued by Bumblebee, Cade is also threatened and ridiculed by Joshua (something called Yeager Enterprises are also ridiculed). In what seems to be a separate scene bringing us back round to Dinobots, there is a scene listed where Darcy (Sophia Myles) challenges Joshua on a fossil find.

Other scenes involving KSI involve the Autobots conducting surveillance, and there is a reference to five Autobots which are presumably Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, Crosshairs and Drift. Crosshairs is specifically called for to do a driveby of the KSI campus.

Lastly there are some stunts involving a Decepticon fighter, which have it crashing through a grating and back onto a street, and also doing the classic Hollywood stunt of flying down a tunnel with a fireball chasing it.


Many of the stunts above are listed as taking place today August 24 and tomorrow August 25, so let's hope for some set videos to back up some of this material soon.
