Transformers: Age Of Extinction wants you to “Keep Earth Human” in new campaign

transformers age extinction wants keep earth human new campaign

Another day, another online encounter with the robots of Transformers: Age Of Extinction. This time around, however, the upcoming film wants you to remember the terrible toll the Transformers take on our planet, and why it might just be better to “Keep Earth Human” at all costs.

That’s the theme of the recently launched site at TransformersAreDangerous.com, which offers up a new video describing the threat humans face from Transformers and a series of fictional newspaper articles published in the wake of the devastating events of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. In the new video, clips from the 2011 film that culminated with a massive battle in Chicago are shown under faux news reports detailing the destruction of the city.

The video ends with a warning that plays on New York City’s “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign that was adopted by the Department of Homeland Security throughout most U.S. cities after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. 

Among the faux newspaper clippings featured on the site are several articles describing widespread anti-Transformer sentiment that developed after the events of Dark Of The Moon, including one snippet of an article about Congress approving the exile of all Transformers from the U.S. 

You can watch the “Keep Earth Human” video below, and you need only wait until June 27 to find out exactly how much the world has changed for the robots in disguise when Transformers: Age Of Extinction hits theaters.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
