:''Crosshairs is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:AOECrosshairsRender.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|Move over, Mario...]]
Some might call Autobot armorer and weapons master '''Crosshairs''' overcautious, while others might call him a huge pain in the [[Anatomic euphemism#skidplate|skidplate]], but Crosshairs knows that he controls a vast armory that could be incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. Thus, he sees it as his duty to protect it with his impenetrable filing system and his incessant demands for request forms - in triplicate.

Should the need to use this powerful arsenal ever arise, Crosshairs is a stickler when it comes to ''how'' all this weaponry should be used. He demands that ''every single'' unit of ammunition be monitored, dislikes it whenever a shot, blast, or discharge goes to waste, and is quite slow when it comes to combat. As a result of this, however, he's an ''extremely'' skilled and precise marksman, and is capable of fighting the fight longer due to his very conservative ammo consumption.

However, his recent stint as a paratrooper seems to be ebbing away his overcautious streak. These days, he's a quick shot, who hits the ground running and makes mincemeat out of Decepticons before they even know what hit them.

He is sometimes partnered with [[Sergeant Cahnay]].

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' Movie comics===
[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Crosshairs.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You call THAT a knife? THIS is a knife!]]
Many years ago, Crosshairs was a member of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s [[Science Division]] during the reign of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. This peaceful existence ended when a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] was discovered outside the [[Simfur Temple|temple]] of [[Simfur]], and Megatron changed the military's mission of defending [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to open conquest. He listened to Optimus's pleas for them to ignore Megatron's demand and stay out of the fighting. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}

When the civil war broke out, Crosshairs, like many scientists, joined Optimus ''Prime's'' new faction, the Autobots. He watched from a distance as the Decepticons launched the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', and participated in a mission to bring [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s "torch" invention to the Simfur Temple. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} At one point during the war, he fought against [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]. He was present when Optimus Prime revealed his plan to capture the [[AllSpark]], and due to the lack of space on the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', some Autobots would have to stay behind. Crosshairs was among those who volunteered to stay. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream5 Crosshairs Armorhide.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Let's do this thang.]]
Crosshairs was getting ready for a raid on the temple at [[Simfur]] when [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] returned with an unexpected guest: [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. Crosshairs explained the Autobots' situation to her, then invited her along for the attack. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

He entered the frame ax-first. That's pretty awesome.

When [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces betrayed [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at Simfur, Crosshairs, Clocker, [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] and Arcee created havoc by destroying the [[replica AllSpark]] cube and fighting the rebel Decepticon forces. He decapitated [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]] when the Decepticon had pinned down Armorhide and was about to deliver the killing stroke. He managed to escape with the other Autobots when Dreadwing's starship came crashing down to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], destroying the once-magnificent Decepticon city. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

*'''Crosshairs''' (Scout, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Crane boom/rifle, spare tire halves, Autobot-type [[energon star]]

: Crosshairs is part of the "AllSpark Power" series of Target-[[exclusive]] [[Size class|Scout Class]] toys, the fourth wave of Target-exclusive Scouts. He is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]] toy, transforming into a Cybertronic jeep. He has a clear-plastic "energon" crane-boom/rifle and spare tire which can combine to form a large axe. His molded Autobot [[insignia|faction symbol]] is unpainted, while he has a [[Sector Seven]] symbol just below.

: This mold was also used to make the [[BotCon 2005]]-exclusive [[Outback (G1)#Timelines|Fallback]], and fellow [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie-verse]] exclusive [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]]. The axe mold was separated and used for multiple [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] promotional [[energon weapon]]s, as well as being released in reddish-orange with the Japanese "Wild" redeco of ''Energon'' [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]].

[[Image:DOTM-HA_Crosshairs_SergeantCahnay.jpg|thumb|right|400px|]]
* '''Sergeant Cahnay / Crosshairs''' (Human Alliance Basic, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, two [[c joint]] double-barreled blasters

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Human Alliance#Dark of the Moon|Human Alliance Triple Changer]] figures, Crosshairs is a green redeco of [[Thunderhead]] and has two different alternate modes. In spider-tank mode, he has a large turret up top with a seat for any Human Alliance figure to sit at behind the main gun. In "mech" mode, he becomes a bipedal suit of armor for the human figure to fit into. His turret cannon can be detached and [[5mm post|used]] as a hand-held rifle, and he has two small double-barreled blasters that can be mounted on his numerous c joint weapon-mounting bars, including two on the rifle itself. He comes with Sergeant Cahnay, a redeco of [[Sergeant Chaos]].

: Similarly to Thunderhead, Crosshairs's [[instructions]] give a different configuration for his robot mode feet than is depicted in his [[stock photography]]. His toes fold down farther to form a trigram foot, complete with a flat section on his tip toes for him to stand on. There is also more of a fixed seat for the human figure in mech mode, as opposed to him just dangling from the cockpit as shown in the stock photo.

**''Accessories:'' Three Sidearm blasters

Crosshairs turns into a licensed [[wikipedia:Chevrolet Corvette C7|2014 Chevorolet C7 Corvette Stingray]]. He comes with two revolver-sized sidearm blasters, and one larger-uzi sized version that fit in either hand and tuck underneath his vehicle mode.

Most of his car [[kibble]] folds up or splits apart on his back in order to replicate his "duster". However, it does make him into something of a [[shellformer]]. Most stock photos feature his tailgate sitting directly behind his head. But it can fold down behind him so that it's less conspicuous and interferes less with his [[light-piping]] gimmick. His stock photos also usually leave out two rubber flaps that fold inside his doors and connect to his torso which are also part of his "duster". When folded out, these flaps help (partially) conceal and integrate some of his leftover kibble.

* Crosshairs is the Autobots' armorer, who is said to go about his job very meticulously and doesn't like wasting ammo, [[Crosshairs (G1)|just like his Generation 1 namesake]].

==Trailer==

New Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv6fVuvcHis --[[User:BatboyEXE|BatboyEXE]] 08:44 pm, 2 February 2014

Does [http://jalopnik.com/did-transformers-4-rip-off-this-guys-design-for-the-ne-510655228 this] belong here? Should I keep it for later?

Basically, allegations that Bumblebee's new (officially confirmed) alternate mode is directly based on some random guy's customized Camaro.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 06:31, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

It's called Transformers: Age of Extinction. - [[User:SoundWave|SoundWave]] 11:03, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
:That's not going onto the article 'til an official press release actually announces it. As of right now, it isn't officially confirmed. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 11:10, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
Where is galvatron.--[[User:Primeisboss|Primeisboss]] 6:07, 18 June 2014

== Dinobots ==

Given that they've been officially confirmed, I would imagine they would be given a mention somewhere on this page. Not saying we should go so far as to add Grimlock to the featured characters, but I would have thought they'd have some sort of mention here or there.

== New Characters ==

I read online that Autobots "Crosshairs", and "Drift" will be joining the cast, along with Decepticon "Cyclonus". I also read that Dino/Mirage and Sideswipe will not be returning. Should we include this? {{unsigned|Deceptibot‎}}
:Is it from an official source, or is it from a leak? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:01, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
:Well, it came from Wikipedia, I just wanted to know if we should consider it.
::Looking at the Wikipedia article and its sources, these seem to be the usual mix of rumors and leaked production names (which are often chosen for purposes of misdirection). Don't think we need to bother with them. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 22:37, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
:Well,it also came from a leaked callsheet.Bay tried making a fake callsheet for ROTF but it failed because all that was in that callsheet appeared in the movie.Bay wouldn't try to do that again so it's basically confirmed that the names for the Corvette C7 and the Bugatti are Drift and Crosshairs.Also in that callsheet it said something about a spaceship crashing and "Cyclonus".Should we include this?P.S.I'm new to the wiki{{unsigned|Bumblebee Prime}} 14:17, 22 September 2013 (EDT)
::That's a very interesting definition of 'basically confirmed' you're using. If it hasn't been ''offically'' confirmed, by Michael Bay and/or a ''reputable'' news source, it ain't going on the article. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 15:39, 22 September 2013 (EDT)
::That's the same reasoning cardsharps rely on. "Oh, he really was bluffing those first four hands when I won a little bit of money, so he must be bluffing now when I am all in." In other words, leaked callsheets are not "confirmation" of anything.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 17:37, 22 September 2013 (EDT)
I've also seen pictures of Ratchet and Leadfoot prop vehicles on the set of TF4, should we note this?--[[User:Deceptibot|Deceptibot]] 14:41, 6 October 2013 (EDT)

we should more characters to the list, even Wkipedia has a complete list: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Age_of_Extinction - [[User:SoundWave|SoundWave]] 14:21, 18 October 2013 (EDT)
:No, these haven't been confirmeds, so we aren't adding them. This page seems like it needs to be locked soon. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 14:23, 18 October 2013 (EDT)
::I may have to start using Wikipedia for my Transformers info if Tfwiki refuses to keep up to date. - [[User:SoundWave|SoundWave]] 14:25, 18 October 2013 (EDT)
:::Well, we refuse to use rumors. Hell, half the time, information on Wikipedia on Transformers isn't even complete or factually right. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 14:28, 18 October 2013 (EDT)
:::This isn't TFWiki "refusing to keep up to date". This is TFWiki not reporting on hearsay and unconfirmed rumors (which is 90% of the "up-to-date" crap Wikipedia's got listed). We have [[Help:Official info|guidelines]] for official information regarding upcoming product and media. I suggest you familiarize yourself with them. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 14:56, 18 October 2013 (EDT)
:::How many different names did Blackout go through in the first film, again? How many ''DOTM'' character sheets use non-final names, again? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 15:07, 18 October 2013 (EDT)
::::Tfwiki should create a news page like TFW2005, to put news, leaks and unconfirmed info on, that way we could still have it, but it wouldn't mess up the article. - [[User:SoundWave|SoundWave]] 15:11, 18 October 2013 (EDT)
:::::Dear god, NO. We aren't a new site. We are a wiki. We don't do that crap. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 15:14, 18 October 2013 (EDT)

::::::It was just a suggestion, I will definitely continue using TFW. But how come everytime I make a change, on any article, it's always Detour, Escargon or Jaylaguy that answers, do you guys own this wiki, or something?
:::::::No, we're just regular contributors. ItsWalky is the top guy around here. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 15:35, 18 October 2013 (EDT)

Over the course of the last three movies, a blatant pattern has emerged. "Information" leaks, people jump all over it, it does not happen. The mad scramble for the latest pitiable scraps just means a lot of work cleaning it up later when it doesn't happen, meaning a lot of work that is ultimately unnecessary. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 16:23, 18 October 2013 (EDT)

Guys,these names appeared in the Hasbro Toy List and it seems legit:Crosshairs,Drift,Slog,Slug and Galvatron.I might have missed a few other names but no sight of Cyclonus. --[[User:Bumblebee Prime]] 19:36, 12 November 2013 (EDT)
:A list we were never meant to see and may not be final names, judging by a lot of things on it. So NO. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 22:36, 12 November 2013 (EST)

Shouldn't Grimlock be on the list? - [[User:Silverboltmtmte|Silverboltmtmte]] ([[User talk:Silverboltmtmte|talk]]) 15:48, 14 December 2013 (EST)
*No, until the character had officialy been confirmed to be in the film by Bay, Paramount and Hasbro. so far the confirmation of Grimlock appearance have not been officialy from Hasbro, Paramount and Bay, just leaks.

== Main cast names officialy revealed ==
the empire magazine officialy confirmed the names of the main characters

Mark Walhberg is Cade Yeager
Nicola Peltz is Tessa Yeager
Jack Reynor is Shane

its no longer unofficial info, now that its been officialy confirmed. dont you think we should edit the cast and chaacters section {{unsigned|Eagc7}}
:Yes, I think that's official enough! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:34, 28 November 2013 (EST)

== Lockdown confirmed? ==
according to UK Toy Fair 2014, the Lambo is officialy lockdown, http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/first-look-at-transformers-4-age-of-extinction-track-set-aventador-character-name-revealed-179111/ {{unsigned|Eagc7}}

::Of course it's not unheard. But it doesn't happen very often. Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were only character who had different names in films. The name change doesn't happen to ALL characters. But now that I think about, keeping names out from here actually keeps majority of the spoilers unrevealed. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 12:21, 3 February 2014 (EET)
:::I don't think people should expect to not be spoiled when they look at a wiki article for a movie. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 18:49, 3 February 2014 (EST)

== Lots of names confirmed by Toy Fair... ==

So Toy Fair is on, and Hasbro is showing off lots of stuff.
Shouldn't the now-confirmed names be added to the cast list? Like Lockdown, Slug, Scorn, Strafe, Crosshairs, Drift, etc.? --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 09:00, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:But just because we know the toy names doesn't mean we know the film names. For DOTM Mirage and Wheeljack toys were actually called Dino and Que in the film proper. Until we know for certain which names will be carried across into the film those don't belong here but in the AoE merchandise section. [[User:Mister Jazzz|Mister Jazz]] ([[User talk:Mister Jazzz|talk]]) 11:05, 16 February 2014 (EST)
::IMHO we should at least add the characters who are in the trailer. If their names are different in the movie, we can change them here when we get confirmation. Their articles will end up at the [[Mirage (Movie)|toy]] [[Wheeljack (Movie)|name]] anyway. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:37, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:::You mean like crosshairs and lockdown and stuff, right? [[User:CheeseMan|CheeseMan]] ([[User talk:CheeseMan|talk]]) 18:34, 16 February 2014 (EST)
::::Yes, Lockdown, Crosshairs, Strafe and Galvatron are all in the trailer and we have confirmed toys for 'em. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:11, 16 February 2014 (EST)
::But the name changes only happened once and their names were changed to match past characters. I could possibly see this being the case for some of the Dinobots, or maybe Galvatron, but definitely not characters like Lockdown, Drift or Crosshairs. --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 18:36, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:::About Lockdown, there already is an article [[Lockdown (ROTF)]]. Other characters had also articles combined with non-canon versions from previous sets. Except for Mudflap (whose both versions were from separate factions). --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 22:29, 17 February 2014 (EET)
:::By the way, even though it's not fully confirmed if Slug appears in film, he is indeed confirmed in toyline. So I created a disambiguation article about him. And I moved [[Slug]] into [[Slug (FOC)]] and edited the redirection of the original article to the disambiguation article. Even though article [[Slug (AOE)]] is not created yet, it will come. But I hope I didn't do this all too rashly. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 19:59, 18 February 2014 (EET)
::::I think there's usually only a disambiguation page when there are '''three''' characters with the same name... --[[User:Flicky1991|flicky]][[User talk:Flicky1991|1991]] 14:04, 18 February 2014 (EST)
:::::There's a Construct-Bots Slug too. Unless we're counting the AOE Construct-Bots as the movieverse characters. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:03, 18 February 2014 (EST)
::::::We absolutely should count the AOE-branded Construct-Bots as the movieverse characters. I know the ambiguities of the previous Construct-Bots led to the characters getting their own pages, but when their packaging carries the AOE logo on it I think it's safe to put those toys on the movie's characters' pages. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 17:45, 18 February 2014 (EST)
:::::::Good point. Another option (especially now IDW Slag is called Slug) is to just combine the two disambiguation pages and put all the Slugs on [[Slag (disambiguation)]]. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 18:15, 18 February 2014 (EST)

:::::::: By the way I saw a picture from TunaKaan showing the unofficial fate of the autobots is this true saying that Sideswipe and Dino would get slain and Ratchet and Topspin are aprehended"?

:::::::::We shouldn't care about it, since it's only a fan-made picture. Kre-O toys have hinted appearances of Ratchet (with his first movie colors) and Sideswipe (with G1 colors and new face), but without any official information about the characters or Kre-O toys truly having any connection to plot, we can't add their names here. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 18:03, 19 February 2014 (EST)
:::::::::Forget Sideswipe, the Kre-O figure name is written wrong in the package, because by looking at it more carefully we can see that it's actually Leadfoot. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 19:11, 3 April 2014 (EST)

==Ratchet==
He appeared in the trailer, confirming his return
Looks like ratchet might die. [[Primeisboss|Primeboss]] 6:10 ,18 June 2014

== Adding character(s?) ==

So the new teaser trailer was shown, starring Ratchet. He should be added to the character list, there's no reason whatsoever not to.
Also, maybe Stinger? He appeared, but that might not be his final name, considering how uncreative it is. But it looks like he's created by humans, so that could be on purpose. --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 01:20, 5 March 2014 (EST)

:But Stinger's name appeared on toy packages. But who knows, some names can be different in films (just like Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were renamed Doctor, Dino and Que) But of course we can't assume that about all robots of this film. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 9:23, 5 March 2014 (EST)
::There's a poster visible in the trailer with Stinger's name on it. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 02:31, 5 March 2014 (EST)

== Li Bingbing's character ==

I've seen news stories on a bunch of sites which report her name as Sue Yueming (or Su Yueming) but no links to an official source. TFormers says it's from Jack Reynor's official Facebook, but as far as I can tell, he doesn't have an official facebook! Is there an official site that's reporting this name or, well, where's it come from? --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 00:58, 25 March 2014 (EDT)

== Minor changes==

:Fixed, thanks for pointing that out! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 01:53, 16 April 2014 (EDT)

== Lockdown ==

[http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/04/11/transformers-age-of-extinction-sets-up-a-new-trilogy-michael-bay-says/ This] says Lockdown isn't an Autobot or a Decepticon. Shouldn't we take him out of that section? --[[User:Youreallycan|Youreallycan]] ([[User talk:Youreallycan|talk]]) 10:25, 17 April 2014 (EDT)

::Sorry, yes, seems reasonable! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:52, 8 May 2014

I'm not sure whether or not it's too early to be collecting trivia, but the human-created Transformers of this movie strike me as seem to be very much an echo of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]].

Given that they've been officially confirmed, I would imagine they would be given a mention somewhere on this page. Not saying we should go so far as to add Grimlock to the featured characters, but I would have thought they'd have some sort of mention here or there.

== New Characters ==

*No, until the character had officialy been confirmed to be in the film by Bay, Paramount and Hasbro. so far the confirmation of Grimlock appearance have not been officialy from Hasbro, Paramount and Bay, just leaks.

== Main cast names officialy revealed ==
the empire magazine officialy confirmed the names of the main characters

Mark Walhberg is Cade Yeager
Nicola Peltz is Tessa Yeager
Jack Reynor is Shane

its no longer unofficial info, now that its been officialy confirmed. dont you think we should edit the cast and chaacters section {{unsigned|Eagc7}}

according to UK Toy Fair 2014, the Lambo is officialy lockdown, http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/first-look-at-transformers-4-age-of-extinction-track-set-aventador-character-name-revealed-179111/ {{unsigned|Eagc7}}

::Of course it's not unheard. But it doesn't happen very often. Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were only character who had different names in films. The name change doesn't happen to ALL characters.

== Lots of names confirmed by Toy Fair... ==

So Toy Fair is on, and Hasbro is showing off lots of stuff.
Shouldn't the now-confirmed names be added to the cast list? Like Lockdown, Slug, Scorn, Strafe, Crosshairs, Drift, etc.? --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 09:00, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:But just because we know the toy names doesn't mean we know the film names. For DOTM Mirage and Wheeljack toys were actually called Dino and Que in the film proper. Until we know for certain which names will be carried across into the film those don't belong here but in the AoE merchandise section. [[User:Mister Jazzz|Mister Jazz]] ([[User talk:Mister Jazzz|talk]]) 11:05, 16 February 2014 (EST)
::IMHO we should at least add the characters who are in the trailer. If their names are different in the movie, we can change them here when we get confirmation. Their articles will end up at the [[Mirage (Movie)|toy]] [[Wheeljack (Movie)|name]] anyway. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:37, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:::You mean like crosshairs and lockdown and stuff, right? [[User:CheeseMan|CheeseMan]] ([[User talk:CheeseMan|talk]]) 18:34, 16 February 2014 (EST)

::But the name changes only happened once and their names were changed to match past characters. I could possibly see this being the case for some of the Dinobots, or maybe Galvatron, but definitely not characters like Lockdown, Drift or Crosshairs. --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 18:36, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:::About Lockdown, there already is an article [[Lockdown (ROTF)]]. Other characters had also articles combined with non-canon versions from previous sets. Except for Mudflap (whose both versions were from separate factions). --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 22:29, 17 February 2014 (EET)
:::By the way, even though it's not fully confirmed if Slug appears in film, he is indeed confirmed in toyline. So I created a disambiguation article about him. And I moved [[Slug]] into [[Slug (FOC)]] and edited the redirection of the original article to the disambiguation article. Even though article [[Slug (AOE)]] is not created yet, it will come. But I hope I didn't do this all too rashly. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 19:59, 18 February 2014 (EET)

::::::We absolutely should count the AOE-branded Construct-Bots as the movieverse characters. I know the ambiguities of the previous Construct-Bots led to the characters getting their own pages, but when their packaging carries the AOE logo on it I think it's safe to put those toys on the movie's characters' pages. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 17:45, 18 February 2014 (EST)
:::::::Good point. Another option (especially now IDW Slag is called Slug) is to just combine the two disambiguation pages and put all the Slugs on [[Slag (disambiguation)]]. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 18:15, 18 February 2014 (EST)

:::::::: By the way I saw a picture from TunaKaan showing the unofficial fate of the autobots is this true saying that Sideswipe and Dino would get slain and Ratchet and Topspin are aprehended"?

:::::::::We shouldn't care about it, since it's only a fan-made picture. Kre-O toys have hinted appearances of Ratchet (with his first movie colors) and Sideswipe (with G1 colors and new face), but without any official information about the characters or Kre-O toys truly having any connection to plot, we can't add their names here. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 18:03, 19 February 2014 (EST)
:::::::::Forget Sideswipe, the Kre-O figure name is written wrong in the package, because by looking at it more carefully we can see that it's actually Leadfoot. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 19:11, 3 April 2014 (EST)

==Ratchet==
He appeared in the trailer, confirming his return
Looks like ratchet might die. [[Primeisboss|Primeboss]] 6:10 ,18 June 2014

== Adding character(s?) ==

So the new teaser trailer was shown, starring Ratchet. He should be added to the character list, there's no reason whatsoever not to.
Also, maybe Stinger? He appeared, but that might not be his final name, considering how uncreative it is. But it looks like he's created by humans, so that could be on purpose. --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 01:20, 5 March 2014 (EST)

:But Stinger's name appeared on toy packages. But who knows, some names can be different in films (just like Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were renamed Doctor, Dino and Que) But of course we can't assume that about all robots of this film. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 9:23, 5 March 2014 (EST)

== Li Bingbing's character ==

I've seen news stories on a bunch of sites which report her name as Sue Yueming (or Su Yueming) but no links to an official source. TFormers says it's from Jack Reynor's official Facebook, but as far as I can tell, he doesn't have an official facebook! Is there an official site that's reporting this name or, well, where's it come from? --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 00:58, 25 March 2014 (EDT)

== References ==

I'm not sure whether or not it's too early to be collecting trivia, but the human-created Transformers of this movie strike me as seem to be very much an echo of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]].

== Dinobots ==

Given that they've been officially confirmed, I would imagine they would be given a mention somewhere on this page. Not saying we should go so far as to add Grimlock to the featured characters, but I would have thought they'd have some sort of mention here or there. Looks like grimlock will have a robot form.

== New Characters ==

I read online that Autobots "Crosshairs", and "Drift" will be joining the cast, along with Decepticon "Cyclonus". I also read that Dino/Mirage and Sideswipe will not be returning. Should we include this? {{unsigned|Deceptibot‎}}

Basically, allegations that Bumblebee's new (officially confirmed) alternate mode is directly based on some random guy's customized Camaro.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 06:31, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

Given that they've been officially confirmed, I would imagine they would be given a mention somewhere on this page.

the empire magazine officialy confirmed the names of the main characters

::Of course it's not unheard. But it doesn't happen very often. Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were only character who had different names in films. The name change doesn't happen to ALL characters.

So Toy Fair is on, and Hasbro is showing off lots of stuff.
Shouldn't the now-confirmed names be added to the cast list? Like Lockdown, Slug, Scorn, Strafe, Crosshairs, Drift, etc.? --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 09:00, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:But just because we know the toy names doesn't mean we know the film names. For DOTM Mirage and Wheeljack toys were actually called Dino and Que in the film proper.

[[User:Mister Jazzz|Mister Jazz]] ([[User talk:Mister Jazzz|talk]]) 11:05, 16 February 2014 (EST)
::IMHO we should at least add the characters who are in the trailer. If their names are different in the movie, we can change them here when we get confirmation.

::But the name changes only happened once and their names were changed to match past characters.

:::By the way, even though it's not fully confirmed if Slug appears in film, he is indeed confirmed in toyline. So I created a disambiguation article about him. And I moved [[Slug]] into [[Slug (FOC)]] and edited the redirection of the original article to the disambiguation article. Even though article [[Slug (AOE)]] is not created yet, it will come. But I hope I didn't do this all too rashly. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 19:59, 18 February 2014 (EET)

::::::We absolutely should count the AOE-branded Construct-Bots as the movieverse characters.

:::::::: By the way I saw a picture from TunaKaan showing the unofficial fate of the autobots is this true saying that Sideswipe and Dino would get slain and Ratchet and Topspin are aprehended"?

:::::::::We shouldn't care about it, since it's only a fan-made picture. Kre-O toys have hinted appearances of Ratchet (with his first movie colors) and Sideswipe (with G1 colors and new face), but without any official information about the characters or Kre-O toys truly having any connection to plot, we can't add their names here. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 18:03, 19 February 2014 (EST)

==Ratchet==
He appeared in the trailer, confirming his return
Looks to me that ratchet might die.

== Adding character(s?) ==

So the new teaser trailer was shown, starring Ratchet. He should be added to the character list, there's no reason whatsoever not to.
Also, maybe Stinger? He appeared, but that might not be his final name, considering how uncreative it is. But it looks like he's created by humans, so that could be on purpose. --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 01:20, 5 March 2014 (EST)

:But Stinger's name appeared on toy packages. But who knows, some names can be different in films (just like Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were renamed Doctor, Dino and Que) But of course we can't assume that about all robots of this film. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 9:23, 5 March 2014 (EST)

The mad scramble for the latest pitiable scraps just means a lot of work cleaning it up later when it doesn't happen, meaning a lot of work that is ultimately unnecessary. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 16:23, 18 October 2013 (EDT)

Guys,these names appeared in the Hasbro Toy List and it seems legit:Crosshairs,Drift,Slog,Slug and Galvatron.I might have missed a few other names but no sight of Cyclonus. --[[User:Bumblebee Prime]] 19:36, 12 November 2013 (EDT)
:A list we were never meant to see and may not be final names, judging by a lot of things on it. So NO. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 22:36, 12 November 2013 (EST)

Shouldn't Grimlock be on the list? - [[User:Silverboltmtmte|Silverboltmtmte]] ([[User talk:Silverboltmtmte|talk]]) 15:48, 14 December 2013 (EST)
*No, until the character had officialy been confirmed to be in the film by Bay, Paramount and Hasbro. so far the confirmation of Grimlock appearance have not been officialy from Hasbro, Paramount and Bay, just leaks.

== Main cast names officialy revealed ==
the empire magazine officialy confirmed the names of the main characters

Mark Walhberg is Cade Yeager
Nicola Peltz is Tessa Yeager
Jack Reynor is Shane

its no longer unofficial info, now that its been officialy confirmed. dont you think we should edit the cast and chaacters section {{unsigned|Eagc7}}
:Yes, I think that's official enough! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:34, 28 November 2013 (EST)

== Lockdown confirmed? ==
according to UK Toy Fair 2014, the Lambo is officialy lockdown, http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/first-look-at-transformers-4-age-of-extinction-track-set-aventador-character-name-revealed-179111/ {{unsigned|Eagc7}}
:Do we use toyline stuff as references? I mean, it's not unheard of for a character's name in the toyline to be different to their name in the movie. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:24, 21 January 2014 (EST)
::Of course it's not unheard. But it doesn't happen very often. Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were only character who had different names in films. The name change doesn't happen to ALL characters.

== Lots of names confirmed by Toy Fair... ==

So Toy Fair is on, and Hasbro is showing off lots of stuff.
Shouldn't the now-confirmed names be added to the cast list? Like Lockdown, Slug, Scorn, Strafe, Crosshairs, Drift, etc.? --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 09:00, 16 February 2014 (EST)
:But just because we know the toy names doesn't mean we know the film names. For DOTM Mirage and Wheeljack toys were actually called Dino and Que in the film proper. Until we know for certain which names will be carried across into the film those don't belong here but in the AoE merchandise section. [[User:Mister Jazzz|Mister Jazz]] ([[User talk:Mister Jazzz|talk]]) 11:05, 16 February 2014 (EST)
::IMHO we should at least add the characters who are in the trailer. If their names are different in the movie, we can change them here when we get confirmation. Their articles will end up at the [[Mirage (Movie)|toy]] [[Wheeljack (Movie)|name]] anyway. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:37, 16 February 2014 (EST)

::But the name changes only happened once and their names were changed to match past characters.

:::About Lockdown, there already is an article [[Lockdown (ROTF)]]. Other characters had also articles combined with non-canon versions from previous sets.

:::By the way, even though it's not fully confirmed if Slug appears in film, he is indeed confirmed in toyline. So I created a disambiguation article about him. And I moved [[Slug]] into [[Slug (FOC)]] and edited the redirection of the original article to the disambiguation article. Even though article [[Slug (AOE)]] is not created yet, it will come. But I hope I didn't do this all too rashly. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 19:59, 18 February 2014 (EET)

::::::We absolutely should count the AOE-branded Construct-Bots as the movieverse characters.

:::::::: By the way I saw a picture from TunaKaan showing the unofficial fate of the autobots is this true saying that Sideswipe and Dino would get slain and Ratchet and Topspin are aprehended"?

:::::::::We shouldn't care about it, since it's only a fan-made picture. Kre-O toys have hinted appearances of Ratchet (with his first movie colors) and Sideswipe (with G1 colors and new face), but without any official information about the characters or Kre-O toys truly having any connection to plot, we can't add their names here. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 18:03, 19 February 2014 (EST)
:::::::::Forget Sideswipe, the Kre-O figure name is written wrong in the package, because by looking at it more carefully we can see that it's actually Leadfoot. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 19:11, 3 April 2014 (EST)

==Ratchet==
He appeared in the trailer, confirming his return
Looks to me that ratchet might die.

== Adding character(s?) ==

So the new teaser trailer was shown, starring Ratchet. He should be added to the character list, there's no reason whatsoever not to.
Also, maybe Stinger? He appeared, but that might not be his final name, considering how uncreative it is. But it looks like he's created by humans, so that could be on purpose. --[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] ([[User talk:Diamondmatter|talk]]) 01:20, 5 March 2014 (EST)

:But Stinger's name appeared on toy packages. But who knows, some names can be different in films (just like Scalpel, Mirage and Wheeljack were renamed Doctor, Dino and Que) But of course we can't assume that about all robots of this film. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 9:23, 5 March 2014 (EST)

== Li Bingbing's character ==

I've seen news stories on a bunch of sites which report her name as Sue Yueming (or Su Yueming) but no links to an official source. TFormers says it's from Jack Reynor's official Facebook, but as far as I can tell, he doesn't have an official facebook!

I'm not sure whether or not it's too early to be collecting trivia, but the human-created Transformers of this movie strike me as seem to be very much an echo of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]].
