Re-Designed Optimus Prime and Autobots from 'Transformers 4' Revealed!

Michael Bay is currently shooting Transformers 4 in Monument Valley, a desert area in the Navajo Nation near the border of Arizona and Utah. Courtesy of Bay and Yahoo! we now have our first look at the revamped sleeker Optimus Prime and two of his fellow Autobots in their vehicle forms. Bay posted this pic of Prime, which is from Western Star (a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America).

Also on display is a C7 Stingray Corvette and a $2.4 million custom 1,200-horsepower Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse. We don't know yet if these will be new characters or revamps of classic Autobots from the animated shows or comic books lore.

Set for 2014, Michael Bay returns to direct his fourth as yet untitled round of Transformers, whose events takes place five years following the destruction of Chicago in 2011's  Dark of the Moon, and promises to jump start the series in a new direction with revamped versions of the familiar robotic alien heroes and villains. Mark Wahlberg stars with Kelsey Grammar, Stanley Tucci, Nicola Peltz, Sophia Myles, Bingbing Li and Peter Cullen (returning to provide the iconic voice of Optimus Prime).
