    Usually Michael bay gives into car companys like Chevy demand that Jolt must be in ROTF they got it, Mirage and now Dino, Wheeljack and Que, so I thinks safe to say Autobot.

    You're all missing the big clue. "humanoid" robot means it's an Autobot. Anything else would be a Con.

    Exactly. Why, do people want this movie to cast the entire country of China as mustache-twirling evil Commies bent on world domination? This isn't Red Dawn, folks. So when GMC, an American auto company, demands that all their cars be cast as good guys and stipulate they can't be villains, that's cool, but a Chinese car company can't demand the same? Double standard, much?

    I think you're clutching at whole bunch of straws there lol

    I think that's just to clarify to the 0.001% who don't know what Transformers are that they're not the type of robots that you find in factory assembly lines... ;) 

    Anyway, yes it does seem that car companies have the opinion that their product being associated with a villain will have them seen in a bad light: I guess Mercedes allowed the SLS for Soundwave because of the extreme product placement and the fact that is was balanced out by having another one of their cars as an Autobot, and the same reason why the Dreads could be Suburbans given that there had been so many GM Autobots. Obviously they went ahead and had Sideways as an R8 regardless, but then they didn't get any licensing for the figure which is telling.

    All I'm going to say is if GM was to make packages on the Camaro or even things like the Suburban and have Decepticon emblems and effects like the Bee Camaro package, I bet you you would see a lot of people buy those packages lol. I'd drive a new black Camaro with purple racing stripes and a con logo on it lol

    This better be a damn Decepticon, it would be a waste if it was used like the Chevy Volt in ROTF.

    Eh, it'll probably be an unknown Transformer.

    If its a Decepticon it will likely fight them without being named on screen - similar to Demolisher or Sideways in ROTF.

    If its an Autobot it'll probably be killed in a battle with a bad-guy to establish the new bad-guy of the movie.
