We all remember the Decepticon Dreads from the epic Dark Of The Moon Highway Chase. And, it seems as though they are back for Transformers 4.
Set photos from Transformers: Age Of Extinction show the Dread vehicle mode; a Chevrolet Suburban driving along with the Pagani and the Freightliner. Other photos show the vehicle being unloaded and stored.
We have no info on whether the Dreads will return, another robot altogether or a whether this is a human vehicle. However, the vehicle seems to have tinted windows; which is usually considered as a distinguished mark for being a Cybertronian in disguise. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more info.
Check out the images, after the jump.

Cheerleading in the guise of cold, logical snark, doesn't fool anybody, as it is neither cold nor logical.

What I really dislike about Bayformers is that all the Transformers are robots of some kind that transform into another shape of some kind, they all are either black, white or have color, they all speak in some form and are either decepticons or autobots and male or female, with a few expections. Seriously, its so generic.
Securis
Yeah, for real. It's always for a gag instead of characterization.

I completely blanked and forgot that the twins while in the ICT mode did talk through the loud Speaker lol. An the Arcee sisters did or at least one of them did when their holograms came on. Thanks for the correction. But you would think OP or Hide or any of them would have did it too lol

There's the Twins, Arcee(s), and the TF07 Cons.
tonyformer
Yeah I agree. I think they should be able to talk in vehicle mode. Well, in movie one the cons did but I was in Cybertronian and Bee talks to Sam a few times through the radio while Sam is sitting inside. But that's it that I'm aware of.
And I'd still like to see the bots speak in Cybertronian from time to time too. I find it funny that in 3 movies not a single true Autobot has talked in their native language lol. And Wheelie did in TF2 but he don't count. He was still a Con at that time.

If you're referring to having the best characterization possible keeping in mind the budgetary constraints and the expense of the CG, then yes I agree… But one thing that seems like a no-brainer that they still haven't figured out is that Transformers can speak while in vehicle mode. Pay the cost of the voice actor and bada bing, you've got more characterization at little cost.

I hope scourge and his sweeps are in the movie. I'd love to see Megatron and his elite Dreads take them on lol

I still think movie one had the best story and had good characterization for all TFs involved. Movie 2 had the best fight scenes I think. But the story was all over the place, didn't flow well. Movie 3 being shot with 3D cameras helped to stedy the action shots and it was easier to see what was happening and the action scenes were great but there was to much human involvement this time and way to much Sam lol.
So if they can get the story and characterization from 1, the great action fight scenes from 2 and 3 and the steady camera shots with the 3D cameras, we should have a great movie in number 4 lol

Some people root for the movies. I root for the movies to improve.
tonyformer
I care. It's actually the fodder characters or characters that get little screen time that I take a liking to most. I loved the dreads, I loved Jolt, and like Dino's design.
Securis
Honestly, I can't imagine anyone genuinely caring. They're generic fodder.

The Pagani is Drift. Calling it.
Driving with Cons? Check
The Bugatti said to be Drift has a face no true Drift would accept? CHECK

Late comer to this one, but I think the Dreads' look is the default appearance for the Decepticon car soldiers in this universe.
We still haven't found out who the freightliner is, have we? In Italy, Motormaster is called Barracuda. Not hard to picture Bay going there…
Slightly off topic, but these films could stand to move away from the "Decepticon as Terminator/Sentinel/Reaper hybrid." Would the Decepticon equivalent of Beavis and Butt-head or a goth Dead-End who transforms into a hearse really be that much of a stretch after giving us the Twins?

Yeah, pic was of them in DOTM. God damn I wish we had a scene with the four of them.

from the DOTM Set, i remember watching some vids in youtube where Megs was driving alongside the 3 dreads

Found it on Flickr. Taken during the filming of DOTM.

Where did this pic of Dreads and Megatron came from?
EpicTransformer
Kind of like the white camero driving off a cliff?
sorry, I should have explained better. I want them to be unique and all have different looks but all be the same vehicle and have a big army like the vehicons.
tonyformer
Yeah there WERE 3 of them in DOTM. I'm talkin about this new movie. We have only seen 1 so far in the new movie.
