I'm guessing that we first see Crosshairs and Hound on Lockdown's ship as prisoners, and we first see Drift there too, but he's one of Lockdown's allies. I'm guessing this because it's unlikely that any new Autobots would arrive on Earth after DOTM, so maybe Lockdown found Crosshairs and Hound on some other planets and captured them, with Drift being on his side.

But hey, this is just a theory, so who knows what'll happen?

 

From what we think we know, I don't think this is the case. Remember the pic with OP approaching the sliced car? Drift and Crosshairs are in the background.. and I don't think they have even met Galvatron at that point. THe fight whith Galvatron is where OP and Lockdown first lock horns (I think), but can't say that is the case for Hound.. he could be a prisoner.

 

That's a pretty good theory.

With Crosshairs parachuting guns a toting could easily explain how he got the altitude to do so.

 

I think before Cybertron got destroyed probably Hound and Crosshairs were on Earth hiding and I don't know about Drift cause to me he's a mystery bot.

 

Lockdown and OP meet each other while OP is still in his rusted truck mode.

 

Is that based on the set photos of the two vehicles together?

 

Yes, and when I was on a Detroit set when they were filming in Michigan, they filmed a few separate scenes of the lockdown lambo chasing the rusted OP truck. Those scenes in Detroit will represent Texas in the movie. So that means early in the movie.

 

Hmmm... so lockdown is 99.9% the one who sends rusty robot OP flying in the TV spot then?

 

Where do we see rusted OP go flying?

 

The bit where he crashes through those barrels. Transformers 4 Super Bowl Trailer - Transformers Age of Extinction - YouTube 22s. That's him isn't it??

Edit: No Barrels.. just some steel structures

 

Michael Bay said that the car chase would be a chase from hell. But how exactly long is it? Apparently from the time Optimus breaks out of the barn to when he is captured by lockdown,
1. Optimus fights KSI soldiers (during the day)
2. Optimus fights someone at night while someone drives away in the Sonic RS
3. Optimus scans a new mode
4. Optimus fights galvatron a second time?

 

Well, OP also meets Hound and Crosshairs in the desert as well.

 

I'm not sure if OP is blast there or if he's being fired at but if you look closely, he roles and looks to be protecting te Sonic. But as he roles, he roles over one of the government SUVs and it starts to explode. And the second SUv looks to get by OP to continue the chase.

 

From the angle he's falling from, he looks like he's been thrown to me. By 'sent flying' I meant thrown or blasted, not flying as in jetpack or anything. Just in case that's how it came across.

 

Oh I know what you meant. But yeah I guess he could have been thrown or blasted by lockdown or something. I think this part of the movie will be very exciting to see. I'm really interested to see how OP goes from the old truck to the new one. There was another shot where the lambo is chasing the old truck and they are driving over train tracks and what not. But as OP gets some distance in front of lockdown, the rusted truck does the classic OP power slide (like he did in movie 1) when he came out of the ally slid and transformed to take on Megatron. Anyway, the old truck does that same kind of slide and it and the lambo come to a stop. So I assume they both transform at that point. But I could be wrong.

 

I'm really looking forward to this.. like, more than any other TF movie! Especially the order in which everything happens... see how accurate some of the speculation is.

 

Agreed. This movie has me more hyped than any of the past 3. I just hope this one has that OMG that is awesome feel that the first one had.

 

Well, there appears to be a scene where the Autobots are meeting Wahlberg, like the first movie. And there seems to be focus on only a few characters until the Dinobots come in. And they are in disguise (for at least a little bit) like in the first movie. I want the mystery and character from the first movie, with the armies from DOTM for AOE.

 

debunked theory, we know what will happen
