'Transformers 4: Age of Extinction' News, Dinobot Grimlock, Unicron, Galvatron And Blowing Up Chicago [RUMORS]

Transformers 4: Age of Extinction, is a little under a year away and you know what that means? It's spoiler/speculation season! There's already been a lot of buzz around the fourth film in the franchise. We're here to help you sort through the rumor mill--from Galvatron, Dinobots, Grimlock and Unicron, to blowing up Chicago. We will be bringing you all the G2 film news.

Here is what we know so far. Hints are everywhere that the planet-sized Transformer, Unicron, will be the new big bad. First off, the official film synopsis put previous villains, the Decepticons, on the brink of extinction after the events of Dark of The Moon. The synopsis also says of the threat: "an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs." The description, thus far, fits Unicron perfectly.

Added to that is the confirmation that Cyclonus will appear in the movie. In the original animated series, Cyclonus was created by Unicron out of the shells of dying Decepticons. Reports that a prop of Megatron's head has been seen on set, suggest that he could in fact be resurrected as Galvatron.

As the name and teaser poster suggest, the Dinobots are expected to make their long awaited live action debut. A picture was leaked and then subsequently taken down that showed a weapon that looked an awful lot Grimlock's signature sword.

Speaking of extinct creatures...this time around, actors Shia LaBeouf and Josh Duhamel are nowhere to be seen. The film will feature an entirely new cast of "fleshlings." Most notably, Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Kelsey Grammer and Stanley Tucci will also help round out the humans. Steven Spielberg will be returning as producer, as well as director Michael Bay.

As we all know, Bay loves to blow stuff up. This time he has his sights set on Chicago, according to a recent press release from the windy city:

"Paramount Pictures will be filming scenes for an upcoming motion picture...During filming a helicopter will be traveling in the vicinity of the filming area for aerial photography throughout the filming days. Stunts involving pyrotechnics including controlled explosions and a visible fireball will be part of several scenes."

Transformers: Age of Extinction takes place four years after the events of 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Check out Transfomers 4 coming to theaters June 27, 2014.
