Transformers 4 to Include Lots of New Robots, More Toys

Okay, so good or bad, Hasbro has announced that the Transformers 4 movie will feature a new set of robots. On the plus side, this means there will be a ton of new toys released with Transformers 4. On the down side, there is no word yet whether the original cast of robots (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, etc.) will be included in the new movie. At the bare minimum I would love to at least see them all die; what I mean is that I don't just want to move on to a new story that forgets all about the old characters, but I can't see that happening.

This story appears to have been broken by our friends over at TFW2005 who were present at the UBS Best of Americas 2012 Conference, where they spoke with Brian Goldner, Hasbro's Chief Executive Officer.

Goldner also said that Transformers: Prime and Rescue Bots are also areas of the franchise that will be expanding. On a side note, Goldner also said there will be a Stretch Armstrong movie and TV series starting on 2014, for those who remember good old Stretch.
