Has anyone seen the steeljaw character in the bio section of transformers.com ? He seems like he might be the Autobot version of ravage. I hope he is in the movie and he gets a good chunk of the action and a toy.
I think he is in the movie, simply because he screams Michael Bay! to me. Just look at his design. It doesn’t look like something Hasbro would come up with on their own.
If Steeljaw is in... does that mean Blaster is in? LOL. Probably not though. Bay LOVES Bumblebee, so he will probably be ejected from a cannon between his legs! (gotta love M.Bay humor!)
Really looks like a Bay design to me. Also, Bay apparently is a dog person. I wouldn't be surprised if he just handed a picture of his dog to the designer and told them to robot-ise it. The thing about off-screen characters, is they never really go as goofy as the kind of thing that actually ends up in the movie. Hasbro just do their regular sort of unimaginative bot design, and put in a lot of superfluous detailing. That's Hasbro's version of movieverse design. If it's a cartoonish insect doctor or tasmanian-devil style toaster, or a bug-eyed buzzard, chances are it actually makes a screen appearance.

If they make a deluxe for leadfoot I hope it comes with a mini steeljaw I don't buy human alliance (welle xcept for the basics that is). I also hope deluxe SW gets a mini lazerbeak too but I may be fine with the deluxe. EDIT: At above: Maybe that would be cool they could be like woodie and the dog from toy story.
My first reaction seeing that was Steeljaw's a dog? G1 Steeljaw was a feline. Then again back when I was a kid I thought Ravage was a dog not a cat. Too bad Ravage is dead. If both he and Steeljaw were in the film we'd have mechanical cat vs dog.
