Transformers: Age Of Extinction Super Bowl Trailer: Five Best Moments

During Super Bowl XLVIII, fans got there first real look at Transformers: Age of Extinction, the upcoming fourth film (and soft reboot of sorts) in the Transformers film franchise. There were some very cool moments that managed to get some of even the most jaded fans excited, and we’re highlighting them all right here.That Is a Big Robot – One thing a trailer needs to do in order to be successful is really grab an audience’s attention early to get them interested in what’s going on. Kicking things off with a robot that’s larger than the screen slowly and menacingly floating by is certainly one way to achieve that goal. Putting an average Transformer, considered pretty large by most standards, in front of the behemoth did a great job of driving home the sense of scale.

You can have Megatron, Galvatron, Starscream and the rest. For my money, Shockwave was always the baddest Decepticon in the bunch.  He’s like an evil, robot Spock, so full of cruel, logical malice that there’s no room for anything else. Also, he has a gun for a face. Sure, the studio hasn’t officially confirmed that this is a redesigned Shockwave, but after hearing that gunshot sound effect I think there’s little doubt.
