When you've got a trailer with Optimus Prime punching a dinosaur robot, you just know that the entire movie is going to be non-stop action, thrills and explosions, or, as Michael Bay likes to call it, a regular Saturday night.

The first full trailer for “Transformers: Age of Extinction” is out and it looks all sorts of awesome. What we can gather after watching the first minute of the trailer is that the Transformers as we know them have gone into hiding after their last adventure.

Que Mark Wahlberg, who plays an out-of-luck Texan who stumbles across this beat-up semi-truck and plans to strip it for parts in order to get some money for his family. Little does he know that the rusty cabin he just bought is Optimus Prime.

As soon as he realizes the truck is not an ordinary machine but a Transformer, the government magically steps in to poke its nose and ask questions and that's when it all goes pear-shaped for Wahlberg's family.

From here, the trailer and the movie take an explosive turn as the Dinobots make their appearance and the entire world realizes that they need the Transformers once again, despite what Stanley Tucci's character would have you believe.

This new Transformers movie looks poised to take a step away from the light-hearted comedy of the first movies, and focus more on the action and the drama. With an all-new cast and a new look on things, the only familiar faces are going to be the robots from the originals, so expect to see Optimus and Bumblebee duke it out with alien space robots.

“Transformer: Age of Extinction” is billed to open in theaters this summer, on June 27.
