    We know the Twins crash in Ice Cream truck mode as they attempt to chase the Audi R8 Decepticon. They then end up fighting with each other, presumably that point is when they decide they need better alt modes.

    that makes alot of sense actually, i do hope they are both like best friends but both totally different personalities so they fight with each other like kids, i think it would get some good character build up going for the bots, more like the cartoons ya know

    Dont worry, though - it's not just new members that are sometimes too lazy to read. There've been several instances where I started a thread asking a question, EXPLICITLY pointing out that I was only interested in info A because info B (which would be the most likely answer to my question) was of no interest to me (or I only knew info B and now needed info A too). I phrased my question very carefully because I KNEW someone would totally not get what I wanted to know and just give me a stock "info B" answer.

    Guess what, people STILL managed to give the "info B" answer because they hit "reply" after reading the first three keywords. And then got angry when it wasn't what I wanted to know because they "only wanted to help". :rolleyes2 

    I've also encountered that with threads started by other people, where the first replies would similarily be of the "didn't really read the question" variety...

    Actually they are not autobots, they are decepticons.

    How do i know this, the recent picture of the icecream truck has the decepticon faction symbol on the bottom of the icecream bar window on the side.

    Look VERY close! It is the decepticon faction symbol

    That could be either faction symbol. It's way too small and blurry to tell.

    Kind of boring videos, though it's nice to get a look at the way the truck splits in half. Helps visualize what it might look like Transforming. :)

    I'm betting that is a decepticon, i just think it would be a perfect place for a decepticons symbol...

    i think it would be funny if it had a lovley catch phrase

    kind of like this "to serve and delight" :lolol

    I thought when that image first showed up that the majority of board members believed that to be an Autobot symbol.

    Plus, the call sheets (yet again!) confirm it.

    They're Autobots.

    I think it's fairly clear we have ice cream autobots here. I think it's hilarious that they have a disguise, but they probably won't understand why other vehicle disguises works when there's doesn't. It's funny seeing the truck on the military base with Ironhide.

    Basically, Nevermore asked a question and said he didn't want the default, boring usual answer that everyone gives. He wanted to hear something different, or a different aspect of the subject. People still ignored the request and gave him the standard answer anyway.

    In their defense, they were probably stunned that Nevermore didn't already know the answer.

    EDIT: And yeah, that symbol could be Bot or Con, though I am leaning toward Bot because I doubt that TF2 will pull a Maximum Overdrive.

    When did this movie focus change from Fallen to ICE Cream Truck?

    About a week ago.

    Why you say? Because ice cream trucks are cooler than the Fallen.

    I'm still convinced the ice cream truck is an Autobot. The call sheet has the truck splitting in two to avoid running over children, and then drops ice cream for them.

    Find me a Decepticon that a) avoids killing small children and b) gives said children free ice cream.

    Also, the leaked call sheets mentions the Icecream Truck 'chasing the Audi R8' and then crashing. Why would the Truck chase the Audi R8 Decepticon, if the Truck itself is a Decepticon?

    I sure hope these early twins will change into different vehicles soon in the movie, having ice cream trucks as autobots doesn't make any $en$e. It's stupid. Hope they alternate into "Chevrolet Beat and Chevrolet Trax!!" That would be a perfect rendition.
    Does anyone know if Longarm or Landmine will be in TF2? And if bonecrusher is coming back? Hopefully not repainted..
