Marcelo Matere mentions on
Twitter that he has seen the Transformers: Age Of Extinction Dinobots.
"I saw concepts of all the Dinobots. People who like dinosaurs will go nuts with Transformers 4!"
It's not uncommon for artists to see such Concept Art very early, since they will be working on various projects for the movie which includes Box Art and Comic Books.
Mr. Matere is known throughout the fandom as an artist who worked on Toy Box Art since the Unicron Trilogy.

ACToys has posted new images of a Transformers 4 Age Of Extinction Optimus Prime sans battle mask with chrome parts. We're not entirely sure what size class this figure is in. It's listed in the ACToys thread as a leader. It does look different from the "leader" figure shown at NYCC 2013.
Recently we did hear of a Age Of Extinction Premium Optimus Prime. The Premium Optimus was stated to have plated parts(which could mean chrome which the figure shown here has). Perhaps the mainline non-premium edition(if there is one planned) will feature no chrome plating and will have the battle masked head. You may remember back in 2011, the Walmart exclusive voyager Optimus featured a head sculpt sans battle mask, while the mainline version of the mold featured a less striking deco and featured the battle mask head.
This may be the same
Age Of Extinction Optimus Prime we showed a few days back(in truck mode). Stay tuned for more information as we come closer and closer to Toy Fair 2014!

Hasbro UK has kindly revealed their plans for the London Toy Fair 2014 to the UK press. According to news reports coming from England, Transformers will be the main attraction at this year's Toy Fair held in Kensington Olympia from 21st January to 23rd January.
If you are authorized to visit the Fair this year, the Hasbro stand number is 620 (Gallery). Tours will be taking place every day throughout Toy Fair on the hour, every hour, from 10am-4pm (excluding noon).
The replica Optimus Prime truck will be keeping a watchful eye over the attendees at the main entrance and guests will be able to have their photo taken in the cabin.
Extensive Transformers branding will also be present at the entrance of Olympia as well as on the internal doors, stairs, walls, selected floor spaces and goody bags. The first film trilogy will also be playing on the Hasbro stand.
While the details of the new toy range are currently under wraps, Hasbro has revealed that it will be launching an extensive range of products in its toy and action figure line inspired by the film. There will also be a wide range of licensed products available.

Hasbro have updated their online Transformers product catalog with more new listings for the Construct Bots line. The latest new additions are four new "Arsenal Pack" figures - essentially the same as the earlier sets, but with more bonus parts and weapons at no extra cost (pictures suggest the figures are not redecoed). The four Arsenal Pack figures are
Starscream,
Bumblebee,
Wheeljack and
Soundwave.
Some new listings have also gone up with new images of the Beast Hunters Construct Bots, including the
Bulkhead and
Unicron Megatron Triple Team sets, plus the Scout class
Starscream and Elite class
Skystalker and
Shockwave.

Japanese retailer Red Mercury has listed order pages for a future assortment of Generations, which we believe is the 2014 Deluxe Wave 4. This assortment according to their listings is made up of Nightbeat, Jhiaxus and Windblade.
The listings suggest that
Nightbeat will be a Reveal the Shield Deluxe Jazz remold, with
Jhiaxus a remold of Generations Armada Starscream with new guns.
Windblade is only shown as concept artwork.
Take these listings with a pinch of salt, though - the attached images might be photoshopped placeholders.
