Michael Bay started this summer with the mega smash hit “Transformers: Age of Extinction.” But the king of explosions still has one film on deck: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

Bay didn’t direct this movie, Jonathan Liebesman did, but that hasn’t stopped the film from having his signature feel. The clips that have been released so far have had Bay’s signature over-the-top style, complete with epic explosions, plenty of CGI and even more Megan Fox. Still, despite the poor reviews from critics, Bay’s “Transformers” movies have always made money, and there is no reason to believe “Ninja Turtles” won’t as well.

Now, courtesy of Total Film, four new motion posters of the Ninja Turtles in action have hit the web. These posters give fans their closest look yet at each turtle. The clips in these posters may be short, but there is just enough to give fans a glimpse into the personality of the turtles.

In these clips you’ll see Donatello’s brilliance, Michelangelo’s wit, Raphael’s mean streak and Leonardo’s leadership ability. The movie has been criticized ever since it was announced a few years back, but these clips should be a long way towards easing the mind of “Turtles” fans.

In addition to Megan Fox as April O’Neil and William Fichtner as Shredder, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” also features the voices of Johnny Knoxville and Tony Shaloub as Leonardo and Splinter respectively.

Pete Ploszek, Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher and Jeremy Howard provided the motion-capture acting for Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello, but outside of Knoxville, no voice actors have been confirmed for the other parts yet.

Director Jonathan Liebesman is best known for helming “Wrath of the Titans” and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.” He beat out a slew of directors vying for the job, including Brett Ratner.

Even though the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is an established property, Paramount is playing things more conservatively with a reported $125 million budget, which is substantially less than “Transformers: Age of Extinction.” It’s likely that the budget will increase for a sequel if the original performs well at the box office.

”Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” hits theaters on August 8, and you can check out the motion posters below:
