About a month ago, we brought you the news of a Transformers: Age Of Extinction Calendar. Today, our site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store is giving us our first glimpse of the artwork.

Unfortunately, it's not final rendered art but rather the Promotional Artwork we've seen so many times. However, we can't judge a book by its cover... hopefully, we'll get to see what's inside pretty soon.

This calendar is distributed by Landmark Calendars; a subdivision of Acco Brands USA Llc and will be available July/August 2014.

Checkout the image featuring Optimus Prime riding Grimlock while carrying the Sword Of Judgement and the Sentinel Shield, after the jump.

Thanks to the new issue of TV Kids, we get a full page look at the new Transformers cartoon again. This time we have Bumblebee AND Optimus Prime. Both feature a cell-animated look reminiscent of Transformers Animated. Keep in mind, those involved with the production team mentioned that the previous Bumblebee image was just temporary art as they work out the full details of the show. This may be the same thing. Check out the full size image after the break!

As you may remember, last time for Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, official 3D Glasses inspired by Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were available to show your enthusiasm at the theater.

Today, thanks to Collider, we have with us a couple of images of Transformers: Age Of Extinction Official 3D Glasses.

The glasses are clearly inspired by the new Optimus Prime and can be used for RealD3D at the theater and for compatible TVs and Monitors.

Cinemacon 2014 is in full swing and the highlight of the show is Transformers: Age Of Extinction. Every journalist who had the privilege to watch 15 minutes of footage from Transformers 4, highly praise what they saw and calls it as one of the best movies for 2014 and the best Michael Bay Transformers movie to date. They said that the acting is top notch, with drama and appropriate jokes at the right time and completing all of it with top quality action.

There is also one other person whom they praise. And that is actor Mark Wahlberg. Journalists at the show floor not only praised his acting on Transformers: Age Of Extinction but also mentioned about his great passion for the 4th movie and the fact that how well he treated the journalists. He has shown nothing but courtesy and nothing but respect towards them. On one video, Mr. Wahlberg even advices a news reporter not to swear in front of the public when the said reporter accidentally did after mixing up some words he was suppose to say.

Nicola Peltz looked stunning and along with her co-star Jack Reynor, commented on the Principal Photography of TF4.

And last but certainly not least… it's IO9 who brings us the best description of the footage shown during the Cinemacon. They have also included a detailed description of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer which is due later today.

Check out all of that and more… after the jump. But do be careful of the Spoilers you will find.

Amazon Japan has updated its listing for Masterpiece Wheeljack with some photos showing off a few different angles. While we have seen a full figure reveal colored recently in the news we previously reported, we do get another clear look with these photos. We get a closer look at the head sculpt and some head articulation, and we also get to see his small handgun. We get a much clearer look of the alt mode as well, with and without the missile launcher attached in "attack" mode. Masterpiece Wheeljack is still slated for an August 2014 release, but these photos are certainly getting us closer and closer to the finish line of this figure's release. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled to TFW2005.COM for all of your Masterpiece Transformers news and feel free to join our ongoing discussion on this figure after the jump!

The first image features Tessa and Cade Yeager (Nicola Peltz and Mark Wahlberg respectively) running away while Bumblebee (2014 Chevrolet Camaro Concept) seems to be arriving in the background. The scene seems to be taking place at the Yeager Residence in Texas and the image may have a link to the recently revealed Poster.

The second image features Cade Yeager with his "Alien Sword" in a backdrop similar to Hong Kong. This image is also a part of the Mark Wahlberg AOE Character Poster.

We are less than 90 days away from the release of Transformers: Age Of Extinction. According to Daily Mail UK, it seems as though China has already started a Promotional Campaign.

According to the paper:

"The man behind the multi-billion dollar Transformers movie franchise, Bay, 49, has sent his fleet of Autobots on a tour of the country to drum up interest in the fourth installment of the series.

Big, brash and full of explosions, the Transformers movies - which have taken more than $2.6billion at the global box office - embody American cinema's gonzo inclinations.

Standing at more than 15ft tall, the models cut imposing figures as they tower over local buildings.

China plays a key role in the new film, with part of the film's funding coming from Chinese financiers and several sequences being filmed in the region."
