    What is the deal with car companies not wanting their cars to be Decepticons?? I think there's a ton of people that would want to buy the "evil" car.

    They are afraid of when somebody buys it, it will transform and kill the owner.

    So it's either a Transformer, or it isn't.

    Not really "more" details, just "obvious" details.

    I know I'm probably beating a dead horse but if they don't want their car to be a Con and bay decides to still use it as a secondary Autobot just to please the Chinese Car company and give Hasbro a new car to make a toy out of, I say why not bring back Jolt lol. This car is a fully electic right? Lol

    No way will it be a Decepticon. Hollywood is kissing China's ass big time so not only will it be good but probably be the hero of the film.

    I say it's a con.
    They said the exact same thing about the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG in DOTM and it turned out to be a Soundwave.

    Bay himself said that to cover up Soundwave's twist. This has nothing to do with him.

    More than likely it'll be a human-driven role. It's an Aston Martin, but it's just not as flashy as the SLS-AMG (Soundwave), and even the E550 (Que) was just okay as its robot was going to be cannon fodder anyway so I hope THAT doesn't happen again with this car.

    No, the E-Jet in question is not the same car as the Aston Martin. The Aston Martin seen on set could be a Con or a TF as well but the Chinese E-Jet Concept is what's being talked about.

    When has "cannon fodder" happened with any robot that had a car alt-mode?

    ROTF Sideways and DOTM Barricade, and an Audi R8 Decepticon whom Optimus stabbed in the middle of Optimus's jetpack rampage.


    And I'm sorry, I misidentified the E-Jet with the Aston Martin. But it sort of proves my point - I can at least tell a white Camaro and the Stingray and the Pagani and the Sonic RS, but these cars are not that eye-catching to me and so I think they may not be too special.

    I'll give you the Audi during the rampage. The other two, not so much.

    THIS.

    There will be nothing negative in this movie about anyone or anything Chinese.

    it's not really fair to say that hollywood is kissing China's ass, it would be more correct to say that China is requesting that all lips be firmly planted on its buttocks...

    all movies airing must contain a significant portion of China or it can't be air'd there... since they have so many potential viewers, no big movie is going to forfeit that market.
