I don't like Ratchet's chances in TF4 after seeing the new trailer that's out showing him being hunted and shot at. I fear that he might be the "tragic" element that the audience is supposed to endure as a "required plot component" in movies these days. (A significant threat or assumed death can have the same effect... I don't see why they feel required to kill off a character when it is a popular one)

And Megatron fans might see some hope of a return of their beloved character, as the 10-minute preview footage has been revealed to include humans operating Galvatron by remote control... but if the source of that technology is from Megatron and Sentinel Prime, would it be a surprise if the mind of Megatron takes control of the Galvatron body by the end of the movie (to return for the 5th one).


Based on the trailers so far, I'm thinking the movie will be taking this format...
Humans hunting Autobots (destroy Ratchet), and Optimus is found by Marky Mark.
The new Human-built bots are released and help with the hunt... but just as Optimus is dealing with Galvatron, the fleet arrives with Lockdown capturing Optimus.
Drift, who is in Lockdown's army, is inspired (by honour) to help Optimus escape when learning of his heroic exploits.
To then repel the invasion and save the earth, Drift tells Optimus of the Dinobots, and they go find them.
The big battle is in Hong Kong, and when Lockdown is defeated, we are left with Megatron's mind becoming active over "Galvatron" who can now control all the human-built drones.
To be continued in TF5...

Let's see if I'm even remotely close.

Anyone else have plot guesses?
