    Sweet cars, the corvette is very futuristic. Reminds me of Hot Rod, but I think it would have to be tracks. Either way lots more bots for lots more action.

    What the hell is this 'Stinger'? It better be Tracks. It makes the most sense. If they name it anything else fans are going to be like 'wtf?'

    Hate to disappiont, but that attitude is alive and well, only nowadays we call it Metrosexual. And that "vain yuppie attitude" pretty much summed up his personality back in G1. Now that snobby up faux upper class english voice they used for the cartoon will be long gone, unless....this is the "Stinger" that the movie leaks keep referring to or someone thinks it will be funny to make the vain transformer well...effeminate.

    I just realised they changed Bumblebee from that gorgeous Camaro Concept (yeah I know I'm slow)

    That would be teh awesome if the corvette were tracks though!!!

    I doubt very much this will be Tracks just because it is a corvette.

    If movie Ironhide and Ratchet got new colors and new alt modes from their G1 incarnations then a lower tier character like Tracks has almost no chance of resembling his G1 version, let alone even being chosen to be in the movie.

    It's probably the new character Stinger, like the callsheet says, that or Stinger is a fake name they are using and it ends up being somebody like Hot Rod or Wheeljack.

    It would be nice if the Corvette was either Hot Rod or Tracks, but Michael Bay probably doesn't even know who either one of those guys are.

    It could be just a bad picture, but I'm not as impressed as I'd like to be with this. It sorta looks like they took a more conventional sportscar and stuck a body kit on it. It's just not as cool as that rumored Saab Aero X was.

    It would be awesome if they include both, but I'll be very surprised if they actually do.

    ...based on the old Gobot Renegade 'Stinger'?

    Incidently, also a corvette, and one of the best gobot toys, IMO.

    But yeah, it seems quite possible that this could be the case.

    i just have to ask you guys

    why does corvette automatically have to mean tracks????


    i mean....volkswagen always meant bumblebee but now he's a camaro


    what was doesnt exactly mean what is

    first movie should have proven that


    *shrug*

    whomever it is, they got one sleek lookin alt mode

    kinda reminds me of the old aerovette concept

    I think you mis-interpret "wanting the Corvette to be Tracks" as "thinking the Corvette must be Tracks".

    I just like Tracks and want him in the movie, even though I have no reason at all to think the 'Vette is Tracks.

    Tracks is on my list of "Autobot cars I want to see in the movie" along with Wheeljack, Sunstreaker and Skids.

    im just sayin to remain open minded thats all

    "zomg corvette HAS to be tracks" just seems like a rather limiting mindset when that corvette would be awesome for any number of characters

    I think you missed my point by a long shot. I'm not close-minded or anything, I even said I am not thinking "the Corvette must be Tracks". I'm just sayin' I like Tracks, want him to be in the sequel, and if he turns out to be the Corvette it'll be awesome.

    True, it doesn't have to be Tracks at all. It could be Omega Supreme for all we know. If Alt modes bear no resemblance to their G1 forms then they could name-slap whatever they want. Call it Autobot Shockwave for all we know. Or even Unicron or Primus. If Devastator can be one single tank then there is no reason why the Corvette above can't be Omega Supreme.

    I kinda like that idea. They should call it Omega Supreme and the driver should be the midget.

    A tank can devastate. I doubt this car will be the last of the best.

    Also, Devastator fit the tank dude perfectly. Big, check. Green, check. Tough, check. Causes devastation, check.

    Why couldn't it be the last of the best/best of the last? GM would most likely want you to think its the best of the last cars that came out. Why wouldn't they go with a name like Omega Supreme? It could send out "waves of shock and awesomeness" so thereby it could be called Shockwave.

    Just like how many posters here will try to justify any decision the production team has made, so can others. Prime hiding under the bridge like a troll worked because S7's ultra modern radar couldn't penetrate concrete? Ratchet couldn't repair Bumblebee why now? Everyone gave reasons for those to rationalize them. The same can be done here.

    Either you are for rationalizing or you are against it. Lol, I sound like Bushy now.

    Wait, Ratchet did repair Bumblebee. He got his voice back (okay, even though the writers had to mention it afterwards to clarify) and even spoke at the end and he's clearly shown in vehicle mode. Who else fixed him?


    Though really, you'd think the points of my statements were in different countries with how people miss them so bad. Am I just not good at wording my sentences?
