IGN reported that Brave Robotics, Asratec, and Takara Tomy joined forces to create the J-Deite quarter, the name given to the machine. Takara Tomy is behind the Transformers toys.
While this is only the beginning, and J-Deite is being considered as being a half-scale model, larger versions are set to follow in 2016, with the goal to complete the "full-scale" model by 2020. The machine walks on two legs at the speed of 1 kmh, and when in car mode it hits 10 kmh.

Although, the pre-production seems to be in trouble as Michael Bay recently stated that he will be ditching the project
On August 11, IndieWire reported that Bay had hinted at the fact that he might not be as keen on directing the sequel to Age of Extinction. The revelation came from an MTV interview, the director did just after wrapping work on Transformers 4. "There's a lot that's unexplored, but that's for the next director to figure out," he said.
Bay also went on to talk about how tough it was working on the series and it took a lot of time and effort.
"They're hard movies to do and it takes every day for two years. They're fun, but they're hard," he said.
Transformers: Age of Extinction hit theaters on June 27, 2014.
