[Smkscrn GT]

I did a search and didn't see these new pics posted yet! My apologies if they have been. There's also some speculation that this new car may be Hot Rod, but no confirmation.

[Inciteful]

Yep. Definatly a Vette concept. The mirrors, wheels, exhaust and trademark emblem on the rear deck lid all scream Corvette. I'm thinking more of a Blurr than Hot Rod.

[Jarodimus]

Sweet mamma jamma.

That is a sexy beast.

[SPLIT LIP]

I hope it's not Hot Rod. Though hell, it could be anyone and I'd still like it. Sweet car.

[bhaalistik]

MAN that is going to be SWEET up on the big screen!
Can't wait to find out what 'bot is gonna come out of that bad boy. <crosses fingers it's NOT Jazz>

...oh, and gee ya think we'll have another concept BB toy scarcity with this guy when he's released? hmmm =P

[Eric]

That is just win jelly on toast. Yum. :P

[Hiro Prime]

That ain't a Vett, that's a Batmobile. :drunk

Seriously, I hope they go into production as I'm sick of how the Vett has looked for the last 25 years or so.

[Vladakris]

Amazing. I think it will be hotrod. Bay "said" dont know if that means much that HotRod would show up and hes supposed to make BB look less cool. This car makes every vehichle in the movie look less cool though, well unless they use the sabb. I hope it is hotrod.

[Lion]

Is the front not shown for a reason?Hiding the allegiance (sp?) I mean it could be a big swerve and be a con. (Unless I didn't see a pic showing its front)

[Beastbot X]

That alt mode'll do well with either a super-serious good guy or a smarmy bad guy like Lockdown.

[Soundwave.ca]

With that and if that's the paint job there using in the movie my guess is it's the new version of Jazz.

[ganymede2010]

OMFG!!! What a beauty! Please be Jazz, please.

[Deadend]

I hope it's not hot rod, but probably will be, least it's not hot shot, though I kinda hope it's blurr or tracks.

[Optimus Crab]

I hope it's not hot rod, but probably will be, least it's not hot shot, though I kinda hope it's blurr or tracks.

Tracks would be epic. :rock

[Skywave]

No windshield/door demarcation on the glass (or at least black and not apparent)? Then I vote for Wheeljack!

[Rijie78]

Any of the above sounds good; Tracks, Hot Rod, new Jazz - but yeh, Wheeljack would be cool! He was a racing car back in the mists of time, a Lancia, so why not something like this now?

On a side note, I'd like to think Hot Rod will still be red, if he shows up at all - and if red, then frankly the obvious choice would be a proper marque like Ferrari or Alfa... but that's not going to happen is it :D

[Rodimus Mike]

Like yall I hope its Jazz,he would kill in that form.As for Hot Rod,I would rather
see Wheelie in this movie as that pompous little sports car.I couldn't stand Hot
Rod in G1 and still can''t.IMHO I think they should keep it to the originals,Prime,
Jazz,Bumbles,maybe Sideswipe and Sunstreaker,and of course Jetfire,and by the
end of the movie have him turn Autobot.

To this day I think that one was the best G1 show,where Skyfire and Screamer
end up enemies.Be very fitting for the movie.

[kjeevahh]

i doubt youll be able to guess who it is - if you had seen bumblebee, ironhide or ratchet before you knew who they were then i doubt you would have been able to guess

[JazzLuca]

Imho, it's Saett... , pardon, Wheeljack! :D

[AutobotMarine]

Now that's what I call "sex on wheels". :D

[Takara_destron]

Sweet car!

[Nevermore]

imho, it's saett... , pardon, wheeljack! :d

NO, IT'S TIGRE! ;)

Seriously, though, are you Italian fans actually still referring to them by their old Italian names? :)

[ZeroMayhem]

Man that car is awesome looking! For a car that sexy I'd be down with it being Tracks or Sideswipe. I certainly hope it's a) Not Jazz and b) Jazz stays dead for this film.

[stinger]

Could it be JAZZ?

[Dropshot]

4 exhauste pipes? I'm a car enthusiast and that's a little tacky, also they borrowed the mirrors from the camaro concept.

[Powerlinx Kupp]

I believe those are brake lights, not exhaust pipes.

[MaxxieOD]

Some people are saying it's a revival of the Stingray. Plus it looks like there's a string ray on the side of the car in the front shot. Hmmm...

[alien]

is it wheeljack...? i hope...

[Jarodimus]

i doubt youll be able to guess who it is - if you had seen bumblebee, ironhide or ratchet before you knew who they were then i doubt you would have been able to guess:peoples: I disagree on Bumblebee and Ratchet, at the very least.

[bonafide1498]

yes it is hotrod

[Jarodimus]

yes it is hotrod
WHO TELL YOU?

frickin caps filter

[Lumpy]

it better not be hot rod...it should be tracks...

[jdre_124]

That's one sexy mo-fo.

[MythofBlackout]

Whoever it is it's going to make for one sweet looking robot.

[Nevermore]

WHO TELL YOU?

HE DO!

JARODIMUS = JERK ;)


Oy, ye golden times. ;)

[ashion]

Who ever it is they robot mode is gonna look awsome.

I have fingers crossed for Wheeljack, but will see what happens.

[buickanddeere]

Where do you set the groceries, fasten the infant car seat or hook up the trailer to go fishing?

[Lennox]

Sickeningly sweet car, but please not Hot Rod/Rodimus. Hot Rod is actually a bot who needs flames and a red paint job.

I wouldn't mind Wheeljack, but this car doesn't scream that to me. The Saab Aero-X does, but whether or not that pans out remains to be seen.

Regardless, this gives us two silver cars in the movie (Chevy Volt and 'Vette Concept), and I wouldn't want the regular movie goers to get confused (the majority of which gave the TFs names like, The Yellow One, The Truck One, and The Helicopter One).

[AndreyOfDoom]

This better not be a shitty KO looking toy then a year later have a "Premium" version pop up. That was BS buying the same characters twice.

[Blackout]

That feels more like a Mirage alt mode to me....

[Railguard]

I just hope whoever it is it doesn't transform as lame as Jazz's toy did for the first movie toy line. He was way too small compared to the others.

[galaxjra32]

It could be Jazz in a new design. The front is not shown, just a part, so the speculation for what bot could be is open to what would people would like it to be. Is a small car so is as small as Jazz. Anyway it looks awesome, whatever bot it is!!

[Cinemastique]

Pretty tired of Transformers turning into cars we might never see in real life. I know they're trying to sell cars, but they might as well be using imaginary alt modes.

[autobotx23]

Am I te only one that sees Wheeljack or Tracks in this mold?

[Fit For natalie]

I just hope whoever it is it doesn't transform as lame as Jazz's toy did for the first movie toy line. He was way too small compared to the others. Actually the movie Jazz toy was way too big. He was supposed to be the smallest of the cars in the Movie line.

[Socialvegetable]

Style-wise, this car scream Blurr, in my opinion. Tracks would be a cool homage because of the car and character's lineage, but I don't think Blurr or Tracks are significant enough characters to warrant a show-stealer of a car like this. I'm really, really hoping it's not Jazz, and that his return is one of the "lies" that Bay and Co. helped to start.

I think Hot Rod would be the most likely choice for this car (if it's an autobot) because he's traditionally a pretty significant character, but I'd be a little dissapointed with a silver Hot Rod, especially without some sort of spoiler/wing.

Also, I'm interested to see how this form gets scanned. Since Bumblebee just happened upon an unreleased concept in the first movie, I wonder if this will be more of the same, or if it might be a cybertronian mode that a TF maintains when they arrive on earth.

[Jcanuc]

Where do you set the groceries, fasten the infant car seat or hook up the trailer to go fishing?

In the other car,
not the sweet little sportscar for the trophy wife, no,
In the van for the maid/nanny who takes care of everything else.
:D

Wouldn't be suprised to see this as Hot Rod.
Like many have said before, for some reason in the Bay universe,
Optimus Prime = Flames, Hot Rod = No flames, certainly not red.

Has anybody ever seen a real explination of why red cars don't photograph well? I tried a while back with no luck to find anybody else to confirm this.

[Oasis]

I want it to be Tracks. A lot. Michael McConnohie was the shiz-nit and would do great things if they would let him do the voice again...but it'll probably be someone lame like Ben Stiller or something.

[Allsparky]

I agree. I too so hope it's Tracks. Gotta Vette, gotta have Tracks!

[Sportimus]

Well, it isn't Wheeljack since he will be the Saab Aero X. I hope it isn't Jazz 2.0. It could be Hot Rod, but we all know he should be red then. Could be Tracks, but for some reason, I don't think Bay would go for it. It's just a feeling. Someone mentioned Mirage and another Blurr. Possibly. But I am surprised no one said SILVERSTREAK. After all, the car is silver, and it is bound to be quite fast (it is a Corvette after all ;)), so, that is my guess. He's probably Silverstreak.

[03Mach1]

Pretty tired of Transformers turning into cars we might never see in real life. I know they're trying to sell cars, but they might as well be using imaginary alt modes.

Like the Camaro? Oh wait...

[Waveride]

I think he means tired of concept car and i happen to agree with him. Wanna find a Transformer, look for a top of the line concept car...

[Gen. Magnus]

4 exhauste pipes? I'm a car enthusiast and that's a little tacky, also they borrowed the mirrors from the camaro concept.

Yeah... god forbid a Corvette have 4 exhaust pipes.

Nope, there has been no trend of Corvettes having 4 exhaust pipes.
