The small dinosaur finds a fish and starts to feed, but stops as hundreds of alien ships enter Earth's atmosphere, piloted by the mysterious Creators. The alien ships launch dozens of strange Seeds across the planet. As they detonate, they convert the landscape and...

Continuity errors
1. Ironhide is seen on the cards Attinger pulls out early in the film, listed as deceased and having been last seen in Chicago. However, Ironhide was killed by Sentinel Prime in Washington, D.C., midway through Dark of the Moon, and long before the final battle in Chicago. 1.1. Neither Skids nor Mudflapare listed as deceased on their cards. Considering early drafts of the previous film depicted both of them getting killed off by Sentinel Prime, this can be taken as a continuity error. 1.2. Le...
Technical/animation errors
1. The shot right before the close-up of the cyberformed dinosaurs has no cyberformed dinosaurs at all, despite having all the excavation vehicles in the same positions as the next scene. 2. The card of Arcee seen in Attinger's deck is misspelled as "Acree" and uses an image of Elita-One. While is considered an Arcee sister in contemporary media, Elita-1 is not Arcee herself as shown in the comics. 2.1. This could potentially be explained by the movie ignoring the retcon from the comics that...
Geographic discontinuities
1. When Cade tries to use his card at an ATM, not only is the card issued from a Chinese bank, which wouldn't have any branches in north Texas, where the Yeagers live, the text on the ATM screen (behind the Access Deniedwarning) is in Chinese. 2. Despite being from north Texas, Cade and Tessa have no Texas accents. Not all Texans have noticeable accents of course, but Wahlberg in particular spends the whole film speaking with his natural Bostonaccent. 3. Despite the KSI pursuit scene taking p...
As usual, many of the new characters have roots in older portions of the mythos:The Creators seem inspired by the alien Quintessons from the Sunbow The Transformerscartoon, who were revealed to be the creators of the Cybertronian race in the third season of said cartoon.In the film's opening act, Optimus has adopted a cabover truck alternate mode akin to that of his G1 counterpart. His robot mode also draws some inspiration from his G1 design, such as the large gr...Ratchet and Lockdown are paired off against each other; the first incarnation of Lockdown from Transformers: Animated was pitted off against that version of Ratchetin his very first appearance, pre...Among the objects KSI makes from Transformium in the film is a Rainbow Dash doll from My Little Pony.
Unusually, no novel or comic adaptations of the film were released. The Transformers Annual 2015contained an extremely cut down prose summary of events.
Transformers: Age of Extinction was critically panned, and nearly universally condemned on the American front, receiving a rating of 18% positive critical reviews on RottenTomatoes.com, one percent lower than the final score for Revenge of the Fallen. Common criticisms leveled against it included its relatively long run time of 2 hours and 45 minut...
Age of Extinction was written by Ehren Kruger, who also wrote Dark of the Moon and helped write Revenge of the Fallen.
