HOLLYWOOD, CA (May 13, 2014) – Director Michael Bay, film composer Steve Jablonsky and Paramount Pictures are collaborating with the Grammy Award-winning band IMAGINE DRAGONS to feature the band’s original music in the upcoming film “TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION,” one of the most anticipated movies of the summer.

Following an early footage screening of the film, Imagine Dragons wrote the original song “BATTLE CRY,” which Bay used in critical points in the film. Additionally, the band contributed original music during the scoring process by recording cues with Jablonsky, the film’s composer, and Hans Zimmer, who assisted in the process. The collaboration resulted in added depth to the sound of the film.

“We’re incredibly lucky that Dan, Wayne, Ben and Daniel were available to work with us,” says director Bay. “I remember being drawn to the emotion of ’Demons’ and ’Radioactive’ the first time I heard those songs, and I knew I wanted that same energy and heart for this movie. They’ve created a really epic, otherworldly sound for ’Battle Cry.’”

“The TRANSFORMER franchise has set the bar for cinematic innovation over the years, says Alex Da Kid, label head at KIDinaKORNER records. We are excited to collaborate with Michael Bay and Paramount Pictures and view this as an incredible global platform.”

IMAGINE DRAGONS will perform its new single live at the film’s worldwide premiere in Hong Kong, one of the locations in the film, on June 19th.

IMAGINE DRAGONS are Dan Reynolds (vocals), Wayne Sermon (guitar), Ben McKee (bass), and Daniel Platzman (drums).

Joblo have posted an article from a "source" claiming to confirm who some of the Transformers will be appearing in the latest live action movie.  This should very much be taken with a pinch of salt as the script it's supposedly from could easily be a fan produced piece of fiction.  For those not wanting to be spoilt, look away now.

From Joblo:

That's right, folks, our source has confirmed that TRANSFORMERS 4 will feature none other than the famed Dinobots, including fan favorite Grimlock. No word on whether he'll retain his neanderthal voice, but one can only hope he does as that's a true staple of the character. One of the villains of the film will be a character named Lockdown, who has a ship full of decommissioned Transformers, including the dinobots, which are somehow brought back to life by a captured Optimus Prime. Prime is joined by returning autobot Bumblebee and at one point both characters (and potentially others) will "ride" the Dinobots into battle in Hong Kong (which fits well within the announcement that the film would film partially in China), with Prime on Grimlock and Bumblebee on a Pterandon, presumably Swoop.

Additionally, the autobot Hound will make his debut, as well as a former "Samurai" Decepticon that wants to regain his honor and become an Autobot (UPDATE: Source confirms this is Drift). And what about Megatron, who is presumed dead after the last film? Well, fans of TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE will be happy to know that not only will the dinobots be making their debut, but also Galvatron, who is basically Megatron "reborn" (and originally voiced by the first Spock, Leonard Nimoy).

So those characters who are listed are:

1. Optimus Prime
2. Grimlock
3. Swoop (assumed)
4. Lockdown
5. Bumblebee
6. Hound
7. Drift
8. Galvatron

Hasbro Brands to Deliver Major Hollywood Blockbuster Film and Television Action, Adventure and Fun Worldwide This Summer and Beyond

Transformers: Dark of the Moon Hits Theaters June 29, BATTLESHIP Film on Deck for 2012, MY LITTLE PONY Friendship is Magic and Emmy Nominated TRANSFORMERS PRIME Airing on The Hub 

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS - News) arrived at the International Licensing Expo counting down the days until the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS invade theaters worldwide again on June 29, 2011 with the release of the new Paramount Pictures film Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Adding to the excitement will be Hasbro licensees across all major categories bringing to market highly innovative, stylish and relevant “More Than Meets the Eye” products to delight TRANSFORMERS fans of all ages.

Cameras continue to roll toward the scheduled May 18, 2012 release of the BATTLESHIP movie, under direction of Hollywood storyteller Peter Berg. As Mr. Berg and Universal Pictures will bring BATTLESHIP to the big screen as an epic action adventure, Hasbro will do the same with its global portfolio of licensees and retailers by building a BATTLESHIP merchandising program that will launch next spring. Key driver categories will include apparel, publishing, and gaming with supporting products that blend aspects of the film with the rich heritage of the BATTLESHIP brand to deliver highly compelling merchandise to mass, mid-tier and specialty retailers worldwide.

Hasbro Studios and The Hub continue to gain major market traction underscored by eight Daytime Emmy Award nominations – six for TRANSFORMERS PRIME and one each for the FAMILY GAME NIGHT game show and PICTUREKA. MY LITTLE PONY Friendship is Magic is also currently ranked the No. 1 television program for kids 2-11 on The Hub in the U.S., and in Canada, the show has consistently been a top rated show on Treehouse since its launch last fall*. Additionally, Pound Puppies has become a top rated show among both boys and girls on The Hub and on YTV in Canada. Excitement is also building for new programming currently in development such as an animated LITTLEST PET SHOP episodic series slated to debut in 2012.

“Hasbro is soaring to new heights with our mega entertainment brands such as BATTLESHIP, MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS by creating relevant lifestyle products that further enhance the brand immersion experience,” said Simon Waters, Senior Vice President, Global Brand Licensing and Publishing at Hasbro. “These properties evoke action, adventure and fun, which speak to every consumer at some level. Our goal is to reach those fans and connect them to our brands in meaningful ways that tap those emotions from fashion to publishing and home goods.”

As the ‘Robots in Disguise’ arrive on the silver screen later this month and continue to battle on The Hub network, retail shelves around the globe will be stocked with movie-based products from more than 325 Hasbro licensees that tie into fans’ affinity for the overarching TRANSFORMERS brand. Leading the charge is fashion for the entire family with hundreds of TRANSFORMERS brand-inspired design treatments on everything from t-shirts to caps, jackets, hoodies, sneakers, sunglasses and watches from licensees such as Uniqlo, and Shanghai Metersbonwe Fashion and Accessories.

On the publishing front, the TRANSFORMERS brand continues to hold strong appeal across all formats such as comic books and graphic novels where the extension of storylines and character development further immerse fans into the depths of the powerhouse property. Publishing licensees such as IDW, Bendon, Ice Water Press, and Random House-Del Rey are all on-board to fill book pages with gripping TRANSFORMERS fiction.

For those who enjoy a digital immersion experience, the TRANSFORMERS brand will pervade console and mobile gaming platforms this summer. Activision is delivering gameplay that is the prologue to the Transformer: Dark of the Moon film while Electronic Arts will allow players to jump into the role of one of the most popular AUTOBOTS battling the DECEPTICONS on the iPhone®, iPod® touch or iPad™. For online battles, Jagex is developing an eye-popping browser-based massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) for Western markets in 2012.

Retailers have also stepped up in a big way this summer with major promotions and in-store displays of TRANSFORMERS branded products that will carry consumers from summer fun through back-to-school and holiday. A wide assortment of items across every major category from apparel to publishing and home goods will be found at mass, mid-tier and specialty retailers alongside Hasbro’s 2011 product line, including figures, role-play items and the new KRE-O line of construction sets.
