The main people behind the movies didn't change at allIn support roles, there is a rogues gallery of Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, T. J.

They never watched Pacific Rim to learn the most important lesson: the robots are what people care about, not the humans....especially the kids of the main charactersMeanwhile, Michael Bay stayed in the director’s chair and Ehren Kruger remained as the screenwriter who re-invents the lives of these Hasbro toys for the big screen. So there will be more of the same for Transformers fans, just with different human characters.
The plot of Age of Extinction revolves around Wahlberg’s character, who is a mechanic and inventor in Texas. When he salvages a battered truck that turns out to be a Transformer, “all hell breaks loose,” Wahlberg says of the plot.
His daughter is caught in the line of fire. “And there is a lot more to go,” Wahlberg says. “It was actually important to establish the new characters, the new people in the movie, just give them that taste.”
