Should Michael Bay's jet be an Autobot character?

Eh, I'm torn on the matter.

On one hand, I think it'd be a neat little easter egg. The fancy white private jet with the Autobot insignia could make a cool Air Raid, Wing Saber, or whatever other aerial Autobot. Heck, go crazy and have a brief shot of Bay himself as the hologram pilot. Though then we'd have to prepare ourselves for the inevitable "private jet character shows up for 45 seconds throughout a 2.5 hour movie, has 3 lines of dialogue and is never seen again"-scenario... If it were a relatively prominent character, then I'd be all for it. But the chances of that happening would be slim.

And on the other hand, I can just imagine that complaints and countless ensuing threads about "Bay is a jerk, he'd rather have his own jet be a character than [insert whatever individual robot character was left out of the movie]!", "Why couldn't he make it [insert one aerial Autobot here] instead of [insert a different aerial Autobot here]?!", "Why didn't he put that character in one of the previous movies here?!", "He's so self-centered to make his private jet a character!!!", "It was already in DotM for like 3 seconds, CONTINUITY!!1!".

Also, I wholeheartedly approve of Bay voicing Bayformers Warpath.
