    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Actually the movie Jazz toy was way too big. He was supposed to be the smallest of the cars in the Movie line.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
