Thanks to the "Transformers Cars" Facebook page we have some pretty cool set photos from stunt driver Corey Eubanks. The on set photos include actor Mark Wahlberg, stunt driver Corey Eubanks, and director Michael Bay posing for what could be some promotional shots and one very cool photo where Bumblebee is avoiding some type of explosion!

Entertainment Tonight (ET) has aired Part 2 of their Transformers: Age Of Extinction Special and it's off to Hong Kong.

Again, the report seems to confirm few names from the movie, but this time they are humans:

"However, setting up the many explosions, while also simultaneously dealing with distractions from onlookers, leaves the cast with plenty of downtime. When Mark Wahlberg wasn't giving Rocsi tips on how to throw football, he and Jack Reynor were up to no good playing pranks on Nicola Peltz.

"We got Wild Weave Wednesdays...when Mark and I rip out Nicola's weave every Wednesday," shared Reynor (Shane), who plays Peltz's (Tessa) boyfriend in the fourth installment of the Transformers live-action film series."

But it's Director Michael Bay who caught our attention, when he reveals a Plot Secret from the upcoming movie.

Spoiler!

File this away in the rumors and speculation folders, but we have some potential exciting news for you this morning. Coming way via the Facebook page of Transformers Cars, we have some photos of a crew member's hoodie revealing what potentially could be our first look at Grimlock's robot mode!

At this time it is still speculation as we don't have a concrete source for this hoodie and if it does belong to crew members, but some characteristics of this image of "Grimlock" do seem to match up with promo art we've already seen.

What do you think of this possibility? Speculate after the jump!

Recently, we reported of images of the Transformers Cloud Optimus Prime and Megatron figures. Now, official images have surfaced of these figures. These figures are exclusive to the new Transformers Cloud: Guardians of Time collaboration venture with e-Hobby and TakaraTomy Mall. The availability of the exclusives are split between both companies, as TFC-A01 Optimus Prime figure is available exclusively from TakaraTomy Mall while TFC-D01 Megatron is available through e-Hobby.

The photos have been mirrored here, and you can check those out after the jump, as you can even see a few photos of Prime and Megatron locked in struggle! Notably, Optimus' wind vane/rifle is painted black and sports a silver Autobot symbol on the top. Also, his thighs appear to be a light gray or white, mimicking the Generation One cartoon design a bit more than previous releases. Megatron also sports a color scheme very reminiscent of his Generation One cartoon counterpart.

If you missed your chance to pick up either a Classics Optimus Prime, Henkei Convoy, or a GDO Megatron, you can take advantage of ordering these for ¥ 5,940 each (roughly around $59 USD).

Ken Christiansen has shared some concept work he did for what would become the Bot Shots line on his Facebook. He explains that the vehicle designs were "just some fast vehicles" to fill out a Hasbro presentation. He did not work on robot modes for these.

What might be of interest is that Ken also did concept work for two more Bot Shot vehicles, Dino and Dark of the Moon Soundwave, neither of whom made the final cut.

For our next gallery update we are sharing with you an advance look of one of the upcoming Transformers Generations Deluxe Class releases. Goldfire is an IDW comics pack-in strongly inspired by Generation 1 Throttlebot Goldbug, the upgraded and matured version of Bumblebee. As well as featuring a sharp deco, Goldfire features a head sculpt which draws inspiration from the original Goldbug's head design.

Goldfire is a redeco of the Deluxe Bumblebee inspired by the IDW Comics Transformers Ongoing series. As mentioned, Goldfire features a new and, in this fan's humble opinion, superior deco. In place of the too-bright yellow plastic is a nice deep golden plastic, with black and navy blue used on the robot mode as a contrast. The head is a brand new sculpt for this toy, and helps to give this mold its own identity as well as taking a few strong cues from the original Goldbug. Overall the look of the toy is superb, although it is the same base mold as the Generations IDW Bumblebee underneath, which had a few flaws which are present here too, such as limited lateral elbow motion and a large number of car parts hanging off the robot mode. That being said, if you passed on the earlier IDW Deluxe Bumblebee, then this is certainly the better version of the mold to check out.

Take a look at our gallery and see what you think for yourself:

The GAC Trumpchi E-Jet concept car was on show at the 2013 Guangzhou Auto Exhibition this weekend. The concept car is set to feature in Transformers 4 Age of Extinction, although it is currently unclear if it will be a Transformer or just a cool car for Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz to race around in. This concept car though does feature some Age of Extinction inspired decals including claw marks, bullet holes, and special Transformers E Jet logo - though we expect these are just for the sake of the exhibition rather than any indication of what will happen in the movie. Check out the images of the E-Jet, courtesy of Chinese auto news site Cheshi.

The latest edition of Dengeki Hobby also had a brief writeup on the outcome of the outcome of the Transformers Masterpiece Fans Choice Poll. As you may be aware, the heroic 5th commander of the Autobots, Star Saber, topped this poll. What makes this exciting is that Dengeki Hobby's coverage of the poll results is accompanied by some lineart of Star Saber, which might potentially be our first look at this new Masterpiece Transformer.
