Official Website of director Michael Bay has been updated with a Press Release announcing the involvement of Imagine Dragons with the upcoming movie; Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

Following an early footage screening of the film, Imagine Dragons wrote the original song "BATTLE CRY," which Bay used in critical points in the film. Additionally, the band contributed original music during the scoring process by recording cues with Jablonsky, the film’s composer, and Hans Zimmer, who assisted in the process. The collaboration resulted in added depth to the sound of the film.

IMAGINE DRAGONS will perform its new single live at the film’s worldwide premiere in Hong Kong, one of the locations in the film, on June 19th.

Check out the full announcement, after the jump.

A small update regarding the Transformers: Age Of Extinction Trailer that is set to debut tomorrow.

Alberta Film Classifications has rated the Trailer PG and will have a running time of 2:24. The said site rating the trailer will also mean it will arrive in theaters with a movie that will premiere within a week. Most probably it will arrive with Godzilla.

Interestingly, the trailer is named "Transformers: Age Of Extinction (trailer #3)". However, the site never rated a trailer titled "Trailer #2".

On May 15th, this isn't the only Transformers 4 Trailer that will be out. A commercial from Oreo Cookies (directed by Michael Bay himself) is also set to make an appearance as well. There is a good chance that we will see new footage from the movie.

Stay tuned with TFW2005 for all your fast movie updates.

Via 2Chan we have a look at some rather interesting Transformers designs in Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1. Across a two-page spread ten different potential Transformers toys are shown, including an Alpha Trion, a GoShooter from Chojin Masterforce and a set of Omnibots.

Exactly what these are meant for is unclear at this time - one school of thought suggests this is a vote for which of the ten fans would like to see happen. We will update you once more information becomes available.

The ten shown are:

1 - Alpha Trion from Generations Scourge
2 - The Fallen from Fall of Cybertron Onslaught
3 - Sunstreaker Police Type from Universe Sunstreaker
4 - Smokescreen from Universe Smokescreen
5 - Autobot Drift Black Version from Generations Drift (this might well be a toy of Drift's Decepticon alter-ego Deadlock)
6 - Overdrive from Universe Smokescreen
7 - Camshaft from Generations Wheeljack
8 - Downshift from Universe Ironhide
9 - Beast Wars Silverbolt from Beast Hunters Grimwing
10 - Goshooter from Generations Nightbeat

Transformers: Age Of Extinction advertisement campaign has truly begun. Previously we have brought you the Transformers 4 Costumes by Disguise (a division of Jakks Pacific). Today, we have with us another license holder for the movie. Rubies UK is sharing this advertisement for their Age Of Extinction costume line.

What's interesting is the new license plate on Bumblebee. In previous movies, Bumblebee carried the "900 STRA" license plate. It is seen no longer. There is a little story behind this actually. 900 STRA is a part of Michael Bay's own home address (900 Stradella Rd, Los Angeles). But, prior to shooting the 4th movie, he has sold his house. With it… Bumblebee no longer will use his old Number Plate.

You can check out the Bumblebee and Optimus Prime costumes, after the jump. Visit Rubies UK for more info.

By way of 2005 Boards member Negronicus we can share with you some in-hand images of both of these toys. Hound comes with an absurd amount of weaponry - all the better to participate in the Bayhem!

The release of both of these toys early online bodes well for them potentially making an appearance at retail in the not too distant future - maybe someone will even be lucky enough to find them on Saturday 17 May when the brick and mortar street date arrives?

During this year's Toy Fair, Hasbro and 3D Systems announced a co-venture; a 3D Printing technology for the children.

It so happens that fellow fansite Transformers At The Moon has stumbled upon a rather interesting Trademark. Titled as ALLSPARK, this trademark is filed by Hasbro under the following description:

"Computer software for creating, designing, modifying, customizing, sharing and saving computer generated representations capable of being printed by a three dimensional printer to create physical objects, namely, jewelry, ornaments, arts objects, artifacts, household goods, toys, games, hobby models, accessories, office products, and various other consumer products "

You can check out the listing at the United States Patent And Trademark Office.

This new venture could turn out to be a way for a Build Your Own Transformer line. Only time will tell.

Via the Transformers Colombia Facebook page we have a look at the upcoming Generations Legends class Cliffjumper! Cliffjumper is a redeco of the existing Legends class Bumblebee two pack, but he comes with a redeco of Optimus Prime's partner, Roller, instead of a redeco of Blaze Master. So far we only have this one picture to go on, so it is not clear if Cliffjumper has received a retooled head or not.

In a neat little bit of trivia, the seemingly random purple details on him appear to be referencing his unfortunate fate in Transformers: Prime, where he was turned into a Dark Energon zombie.

Coming via io9, we have our very first look at two new Dinobots: Slog and Snarl! We have images of the newly revealed figures in both robot and dinosaur mode and are they ever something to look at!

No information is given as for which size class these Dinobots will be, but they do look bigger than a standard deluxe (in particular Slog, while Snarl could be a deluxe). We will be sure to update the post accordingly if/when any new information about these two are revealed.

We'll let you be the judge though, so check out the images after the jump and discuss!
