No, the article's not about a ginger haired person but rather about a new face of a robot for Transformers 3.
This new robot was spotted interacting with Sam and Carly on the TF3 Set.
You can also spot him on the following YouTube video (at 3:51).

Nelson; the administrator of MichaelBay.com, visited our boards and announced that the famous Transformers 3NASCAR Trio are indeed The Wreckers.
We wish to thank, Mr. Nelson Lauren for this exclusive piece of news.
We do believe The Wreckers need no introduction. But, just in case...
The Wreckers are a sub-team of Autobots in the Transformers Universe, functioning essentially as a commando unit. They were created by Marvel UK writer, Simon Furman. The Wreckers are called upon whenever the odds of success are slim.
We end this article with the famous quote... "Wreck & Rule!!!"
Nelson continues to pour more info about Transformers 3NASCAR Trio.
Answering to a thread, Nelson of MichaelBay.com said that the NASCAR Trio are not Rallybots with a simple "NO".
So far Nelson said NO to Stunticons, Omnibots and now for Rallybots as the NASCAR Trio.
For those who want to know about Rallybots, you can visit our Resources Section for more info by clicking on : Double Clutch with Rallybots.
Nelson also briefly talked about the real life personalities of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley(Carly) and Shia LaBeouf(Sam) at the site. You can read them by clicking on the above links.
There had been many speculations regarding the identity of the new Mercedes-Benz E550Autobot in Transformers 3 by fans. Finally, Nelson of the Shoot For The Edit provided us with more info about who he is.
So it seems that the Einstein looking bot is the mysterious new Blue Mercedes-Benz E550 Autobot.
If this is not a misinformation then, so ends the rumors stating that the Mercedes bot is Shockwave/Soundwave in disguise. Still we are yet to findout the name of this bot with brains.
UPDATE : Nelson has posted the first Official Image of the Mercedes-Benz E550 vehicle from the Chicago set of Transformers 3. You can click on the Title Bar of this news article to see it.
In a massive shocking turn of events, Cybertron Con in China has produced some incredible news we know many of you had been hoping to see come out of the San Diego Comic Con. At the Hasbro new products panel several of the new 2011 release Transformers toys were on show, and photos were allowed. All of these images come from tfclub's Tsina account (requires registration). Some higher resolution image are also available courtesy of Yeltar on ACToys.
On show were toy pictures of:
Legends:
Revealed for the first time anywhere is Gold Bumblebee, who long time fans will recognize as a homage to Bumblebee's upgraded form Throttlebot Goldbug from The Return of Optimus Prime! Also shown are the Legends Class Generation 1 Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream that were first revealed to be in the works at Botcon 2010.
Scouts:
Windcharger. Just Windcharger. Check him out, he's awesome!
Deluxes:
Here's the mother-lode, what you've all been waiting to see. On show were: Special Ops Jazz, "Turbo" Tracks, Perceptor, Scourge and Thunderwing.
Voyagers:
Lugnut and Grapple were shown. Lugnut looks a little mistransformed / awkwardly posed though.
Power Core Combiner Five Packs:
Grimstone with the Dinobots and Steamhammer with the Constructicons.
Stay tuned for more news from Cybertron Con as it becomes available.

At the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACGHK) material-entertainment fair, being held over this weekend, Hasbro Hong Kong is offering this cool, one-of-a-kind Lucky Draw Battle Blades Bumblebee. It is made entirely in gold chrome and is encased within a special display case, much like the 2007 Movie Leader Optimus Prime Lucky Draw offered by Hasbro Hong Kong in 2008. Like the Movie Leader Optimus Prime, this piece is available to fans who spend big at the Hasbro booth - except this year, because there is only one piece, it is a straightforward case of whoever spends the most at the Hasbro booth over the course of the weekend gets the prize toy!
Check out the images of this piece by clicking on the title of this article - and take a look at the some more images from the event by visiting HK-TF's gallery.
TFW2005 board member yizhi521 has just stopped by to give us some new closer pictures of the prototype for the new Takara Masterpiece, Rodimus Prime! As shown earlier, Rodimus' trailer will open up to reveal a rather large cannon a la G1 Rodimus Prime, however, now we see clearer shots of Rodimus' robot mode!
Will this have any gimmicks? Will be it be in scale with other Masterpiece figures? Join the conversation and see more pictures by clicking the title of this story!
Get those salt-shakers ready folks, because we have a very interesting - and unusual - item for you today.
As you can see to the left of this image, that is a fully gold chromed version of the legendary Fortress Maximus - the largest Transformers toy ever released. He originally hit stores in 1987 as the centerpiece of the Headmasters line, and has since gone on to command high prices on the secondary market. The mold has been reused a couple of times down the years, including Brave Maximus in Car Robots - also known as Fortress Maximus in the series Robots in Disguise.
Which brings us to this strange piece. It is on display at Cybertron Con in China alongside many other items including the prototype for Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. While it is tempting to write this off as a bootlegger getting a bit over-enthusiastic with gold chrome, it is on display with the other official Transformers merchandise - which you can check out here on ACToys.
UPDATE - 2005 Boards member DrillBIT and several other members have pointed out this new image. For those that cannot read the caption, it explains that this is a fan made custom item and not an official piece. The fan who created this awesome piece brought it out for display at Cybertron Con for his fellow fans to enjoy.
So there you have it. It's a custom, not an official piece, and doesn't hint at a reissue or anything.
It's still extremely cool though, so enjoy the pics by clicking on the title of this story.
