    Be careful, when you assume that there will be two German Autobots. The twitter post mentioned a couple of hero autobot cars -- the term: hero car means cars used during filming for close-ups, ones, that usually arent'n meant to be destroyed (remember Bee getting wrecked in DC during filming? Well that was one of two hero Bumblebee cars). So to recap. -- a couple of German hero autobot cars can simply be referring to one character, one model!
    Furthermore, the post says that the "hero cars" are owned by a German company - not necessarily German make. Also, Bugatti is Italian.

    I thought Bugattis are French.

    You are correct. Bugatti was originally French. The Bugatti Royale was meant to compete with Rolls Royce if memory serves. They used an elephant for their hood ornament. Didn't go too well.
    But they may now be owned by Volkswagon.
    There has already been a Bugatti Veyron Transformer from the Cybertron series named Cannonball as well.

    I made a comment that since Mirage was a Ferrari (an Italian car) he spoke with an Italian accent. So I had a thought that the Bugatti Autobot might have a French accent.

    Well the company was founded by an Italian and based in a part of France that was at the time part of the German empire so it's up to interpretation really lol

    Not from a marketing point of view, no, but Bumblebee seems to get bored with his alt mode easily, and he was a 2011 Camaro SS in DOTM so it's not entirely random that he's a Camaro SS here. Maybe he just preferred the old look all along... ;)

    I can't believe Drift is in this. First the Fallen, now this loser? Considering I despise both Dreamwave and IDW's TF comics, I can't say I'm happy with where Bay is drawing his source material from.

    I'd rather see the Vette as Drift seeing as it's RWD configuration would make it a tad easier and less costly to Drift... should they crash it...
