Agreed! AGREED!!!

I've only seen one movie with Wahlberg, but he seems like a good actor. Certainly way better than Shia, le douche.

 

I personally think the entire "transatlantic ship out of water" is Lockdown's disguised ship, as many have been speculating. Maybe it's kind of a like a Helicarrier ripoff.

Well, Nicola's nineteen. Normally, they cast people in that age range for teenage roles, like how Gabriella Wilde (who auditioned for a lead female role in TF4) portrayed Sue Snell who was a teen in the remake of Carrie, but she, in reality, is twenty-four.

 

Not to mention Shia LaBeouf was 21 when he portrayed the teenage/highschool-age Sam Witwicky. Same with Megan Fox and everyone who played a teenager in movie 1.

 

I like the sound of the Anti-gravity weapons.

 

Same

Two options for the ship;
Given the 'bounty hunters' are using anti-gravity weapons (likely to help them capture their prey) then I would be shocked to see any Transformer lift the cruise ship - so that leaves two possibilities;

- The cruise ship is Lockdown's spaceship
- The cruise ship is just a normal ship that is picked up by anti-gravity

If the ship is just a ship;
If its just a normal ship it is being lifted by an anti-gravity weapon (Not sure whether the size of the anti-gravity weapon matters when compared to how much it can lift...) but whatever size it is - the most likely option is its being lifted by Lockdown's ship or something else that has an anti-gravity device.

Honestly first thoughts even stray to Unicron OR 'The Nemesis' as something that size would likely be needed for a final battle and the cruise ship scene sounds close to the final battle.

Alternative disguises if its Lockdown's spaceship;
While its true we don't have anything the same size as the carrier - a slightly smaller alternate mode that seemingly is bigger in its main mode would not be the first time in the film series.

An Antonov An-225 Mriya could work as a flying disguise or to be more technical 'alt-mode' for the spaceship - the size is large enough so that it could transform into a spaceship around the same size as the 'carrier' spaceships we saw in DOTM

Size of Lockdown's spaceship;
Depends really how big Lockdown's ship will be - considering it needs to house at the minimum Lockdown (Robot Mode), Optimus (Robot mode), Tessa and Tessa's car - it'd have to be fairly big... maybe even bigger than the 'carrier' spaceships we saw in DOTM - their is also the possibility of slight mass-shifting which is normally in the movies as proven by image below;



Which means a minimum interior height of around 32ft-40ft (Giving room for Optimus to move his head) so a cruise ship could be possible...

Tessa will likely be portrayed as either just turned 16 or late 17 - then the father can easily scold her and the two can fall apart with her claiming that she is an 'adult now' and that 'she misses mum' or something like that for the inevitable 'get back together and hug' ending.

 

She's like 19

 

Not to mention the Dinobots need to be housed as well, if that early plot leak is credible and factual.

 

Nah, she'll be portrayed as her actual age. She was 18 during filming and she's supposed to be a HS senior in the movie, thus she'll be 18 in the movie.

 

I'm sure I'm creating many of these plot leaks myself - as I had a theory that Optimus started the Dinobots rampaging on Lockdown's ship in order to escape - and after fleeing the crashed ship this would lead into the Dinobot rampage through the city...  

Anywho - Grimlock (Judging on the leaked pic of Prime riding him) is a minimum of 60ft height and around 120ft length... so definitely needs to be big.

Same situation applies - she's trying to get her dad to trust her with dating a guy - always the same story with films like this.

 

Like others have said, it's better than any of the human stories in the previous films. For me, I can relate to this for I've dated a girl with a dad like this. It's just a far more relatable plot. How is someone supposed to relate to a highschool/college/grown man who's very unnecessarily hyperactive and gets super hot girlfriends out his ass?

 

She's a bit more important to the plot than we think, I believe.

 

Maybe Nicola Peltz uses her Water-Bending skills to lift the boat out of the water.

 

That was actually funny  

 

Oddly enough, I would love it if that's what went down  

 

This plot description sounds pretty cool to me, and seems to closely match all the stuff that guys like tonyformer (and others who taped the filming and put it on youtube) have revealed to us - THANKS. I also love the exchange between Scorpio and tonyformer, as well as the size chart: I recall Bay verbatim saying Optimus' robot height was 32' tall on one of the special featurettes on the DVD for ROTF.

Here's my speculations(POSSIBLE SPOILERS):

°Lockdown , in his bounty-hunting duties, along with the Rally Racers, will always travel in a pack with them.. The Rally Racers may be a mix of drone and robot K- 9s/Wolf-like robot creatures (maybe like the Dreads and Decepticon drones in Chicago in DOTM) and the SOG (?) Guys will be the human contingent who will be paid mercenaries working for Attinger;

°The Dinobots may not even show up until the last act or near the end of the 2nd act; They, along with that Chinese EJet car, may be some of the human - built transformers, and the EJet may be the one that speaks in Mandarin, and he (given that car show display) aligns himself with the Autobots in China;

°I feel there may be a power struggle between Cyclonus and Megatron: Cyclonus may underestimate Megs' abilities in the beginning of the film and may even threaten him; Then Megs somehow has his head become one with a robot body (either with Attinger ' s help OR he figures out how to summon a body through remote control or robot telekinesis LOL), scans the Argosy Freightliner and takes Cyclonus out; Hell, maybe even Lockdown and his "K-9s" will have the honors of executing Cyclonus;

°Cybertronian Sword -Maybe Attinger somehow gets his hands on it, thanks to Lockdown, and uses it like The Key To Vector Sigma, creating the robot modes of the cars seen driving around with the Argosy;

°China - I recall it being stated somewhere that some huge Decepticon-caused catastrophe happens in China that is the catalyst for some kind of international summit: maybe it's decided that the Autobots ally with China and the Dinobots to battle the Decepticons, which is probably the last hour of the film;

°I predict MASSIVE Autobot (and maybe some human) carnage: Bay will really drive home this whole "extinction" theme to the 100th power;

°The recent China reshoots- I'm willing to bet that footage will be used as background plates for some EPIC battle in that Chinese forest; Maybe this battle takes place before all the chaotic Bayhem that happens in urban China;

°Lockdown movie version will be a brutal, sadistic, merciless robot killing machine who loves nothing more than seeing his victims become piles of discombobulated metal - but Optimus will give him one HELL of a fight, maybe even suffering significant damage leading to that scene filmed where Ops gives a certain speech to Cade;

Looking cautiously forward to the trailer on Sunday, as well as the following trailers and especially that scene with the cruise ship and the chase.

 

Wow I actually floated that idea about how they would make the Dinobots on earth.

 

LOL @ Shia being 6 ft.

 

Technically he is 5.77427822 feet
However, they rounded it up for the purpose of the graph. I didn't make the graph itself.
