I think the next animal minion to appear should be Ratbat. He could be based on his IDW Comic incarnation: a Cybertronian Senator in the form of a bat, who assumes Decepticon leadership. Not only can he be an animal, but he can also possibly serve as the next film's antagonist. He could take the mode of a large bat-themed automobile (http://images.wikia.com/batman/image...obile_page.png) or airplane (The Bat - Batman Wiki), some bat-themed vehicle anyway that would fit him. Oh, and he should be voiced by Kevin Conroy. Would you like to see TFilm Ratbat?
I tried to be reasonable and post in that thread. No one listened. It made me feel so bad... so I tried again, this time ditching reason, and posted on a new thread.
He would most likely resemble Laserbeak in looks other than being a giant bat and not a bird. Probably fight just as good, and more than likely die at the end of the film as well. But Ratbat would be cool to see nonetheless.
I envision him voiced by Harry Shearer (Mr. Burns). Since they are fuel based evil billionaire tycoons.
inb4 "wasted character". Also, Hot Shot: "He'd transform into a motorcycle." Okay, enough kidding around. If Ratbat was in the movies, he'd probably be a large, demonic looking bat-like Decepticon, similar to Laserbeak, but more bat-like.
my movie ratbat is probably my favorite character i've made. he's stuck on cybertron, his face a shattered, broken image resembling the ultracon logo. he's got a past as a senator on cybertron, but the war was hard on him. he was attacked by failed assassins time after time and even after getting a protective helmet (calling back to his universe toy's head), it didn't stop and now his helmet is shattered too, his body riddled in dings and scratches, and his once glorious past as a high-ranking individual on cybertron a haunting memory that threatens the snap of his mentality. he transforms into a purple alien ship and has dual swords.
