* FridgeBrilliance: The Autobots being targeted by humans makes a little more sense when you remember that the one who opened the Space Bridge and allowed the Decepticon invasion in the last film was Sentinel, who had claimed leadership of the Autobots to the United Nations. Somewhat reinforced by the ''Transformers Are Dangerous'' site, which says that the Battle of Chicago convinced humanity to distrust all Cybertronians.

** In ROTF, ObstructiveBureaucrat Galloway mistakenly believed the Decepticons were on Earth to hunt the Autobots. Cue this movie, and [[BountyHunter Lockdown]] coming to Earth solely to 'hunt' Optimus Prime.

** The use of a new Music/ImagineDragons song, "Battle Cry", upset fans awaiting a new Music/LinkinPark song, although some listeners of a minute-long sample posted in May 2014 thought it sounded good by its own standards.

* WinBackTheCrowd: Everything seen about the film so far seems like it's trying to do this. A number of fans are hoping the announcement that the film will be more serious (and that the new trilogy will have [[MythArc an actual overall plot]] beyond Autobots punching Decepticons) means the creators are trying to restore the franchise's respectability on the silver screen as it has on the comic, video game, and animation front.

** The toyline. Ever since ''DOTM'', there have been complains that the toys were simplified and downsized to save money, these complaints are increased with this line. Others are just pleased with the design fo the toys, especially the Dinobots.

* TheWoobie: All the Autobots could qualify, but especially Optimus Prime. He spent years fighting for them, gave his life for them (and was prepared to do it on at least one other occasion), helping protect them, teaching them to fend off the Decepticons, and being their strongest supporter even when his team had doubts. In return? The humans decided to wipe out Autobot and Decepticon alike, killing off many of Optimus' teammates and comrades, and forcing the survivors to go into hiding. From the looks of the trailer, Optimus had no intention of awakening from stasis lock given it takes Cade's tinkering to wake him up. Mark Wahlberg even said Optimus has lost his faith in humanity by the events of the film.

** In DOTM, Epps exclaims with immense frustration over why the Decepticons always get "the good shit," whether it be [[CombiningMecha Devastator]] or [[CombatTentacles the Driller]]. Well now we have Optimus riding a monstrous Grimlock into battle, which sort of evens it all out.

Either it's a new, but still cool and very regal looking design for the character, or it loses a little too many of the "iconic" features (such as the window chest and grill-abs) and doesn't look much like it works too well in terms of transforming, compared to his previous designs.
