    In the movie Wheelie showed a map of Transformers that lived thousands of years ago that still lived, One of them was Jetfire. What do you think were the rest of the old transformers or what do you hope?

    well since we also seen some photos I'd say a Ford model T and a WW2 bomber were a given.

    I'd also say Ransack could qualify. And a train would not seem out of place.

    Well, as others have said... we saw an old Model T (don't know who that could be) and a WWI airplane (who could easily be Ransack from the movie toyline). It would make sense that perhaps Astrotrain might be one (I could see an old steam engine being used around the same time frame). If they have a WWI tank it could be Blitzwing... can't really think of anything else off the top of my head...

    YES. We need more steam engine TF's, even if it is the same character again and again!

    The others who have commented on it have made some good suggestions. Now the real question is: will any of them be in the 3rd movie?

    Also as I was driving my nephew home from the movie, someone was hauling a classic model T car. My nephew commented on it and said it looked like the one in the movie.

    I would love to see more Transformers as classic or vintage vehicles. Not everything has to be modern or futuristic looking. The concept Corvette and Camaro looks great but some variety would be nice too.

    Robotic death horse.

    Not really a "blend in" kind of alt mode, but who uses a horse and buggy anymore? :D

    They need to do a retro-steam punk TF series, 'cause Hearts of Steel was just win (well, except the Megatron concept of him being a rediculously huge muzzle loading cannon, but he never showed up)

    I'd love to see some HoS designs personally. That series was just win in my opinion.

    This is ripe with potential since according to jetfire, seekers have been coming here since caveman days. Not a far reach if an initial scouting party has been lost to time during the dinosaur ages.

    I also see an interesting idea to incorporate cosmos as a seeker from roswell. xD The doors opened on possibilities to just about explain every UFO or mystery beast sighting in recorded history.

    Ooo...I got it. Jetfire's little comment about his dad makes me think that we need a Transformer who turns into a stone wheel!

    Ever been to Amish country? Tons of 'em!

    A beast-former horse...BW S1 "transformable Pretender" type...with buggy armor...and with a robot that resembled Amish traditional costume. That would be pretty darn cool!

    The idea of Blitzwing being stuck in some German museum somewhere just makes me giggle.

    As well another posters idea of Cosmos....oh lord, alot of good ones along with alot of crappy Deus Ex Mechinas....but still sounds fun.
