Toy Fair 2014: Fleshing Out the Transformers: Age of Extinction Story

We live in the future. It is a glorious future where one does not have to watch a football team get massacred in order to enjoy the true highlights of the evening..namely the half time show where Bruno Mars went all Boyz II Men on a wailing audience, the commercials, which were mostly more odd than good, and the new movie trailers, among which some of you got your first glimpse of the crazy, crazy, super damn crazy over complicated designs for the robots of Transformers 4. Let's start by watching the teaser 3 or 4 times, because it is Monday.
