Holy Potential Spoilers Batman!

A rumor has begun to circulate regarding that Tanker Truck that has been seen at the on-location filming for Transformers 3 regarding the identity of the character who the truck turns into.

Turn back now if you do not want to be spoiled

The Tanker Truck is rumored to be: Megatron!


Take this as a rumor for now, however it comes from a reliable source in the form of the Imagination Studios Blog who have been reliable with information in the past.

Do you believe this rumor or is it just a step too removed from what is likely in your own eyes? Sound off on our 2005 Baords by hitting the discuss button below!

I am firmly behind this if true.

Interested to know who said source is, perhapes, maybe it is Mr. He T. Ellme?

WHAT A TWIST!!!1!!1


And you found this out...how and why should we believe you? Nothing personal but it hasn't been the first time people go claiming stuff.

Also, whats the HTML tag for spoilers? I can't seem to get it to work. D:
Ops_was_a_truck

MEGATRON has no need to hide himself from puny fleshlings

I don't believe that one. I honestly think its still Onslaught maybe.

Dang it. First he is a Cybertronian Jet, then a Cybertronian Tank now a Tanker Truck .
Transmetal
If true, this has to be in the top 5 worst alt modes for Megatron.
tusko
Awesome. I think it would be a creative twist to have Megs meet Prime on his own terms.

Prime + trailer vs Megs + trailer puts the robot action on the same scale and the road action on equal footing.

Bring it on.

I'm firm in my irrational hypothesis that it's either Onslaught or Motormaster.
Ra88
Would be an insanely cool altmode for him, but I still take it with a huge grain of salt.
TheDemonDzko
Bwahahahahhaha, that info is so fail. Flying Tank, not Truk. Unless...for some reason he comes back to Earth as Galvatron... and decides. "Yah know what, I'm going to try this Robot in Disguise thing, I mean in the last two fights, I have been powerfull death machines, jet...and flying tank... Hm, yeah. I'll just be a "Tankor"! Yeah! Best! Idea! Evuhr!"
Nerdicon
I think it could work. But grain of salt accepted.
haunted-one
It's hard to believe but when you see a blue truck crashing thru sets it makes you wonder...... Time will tell.
eagc7
so he decided to scan an earth mode?. Cool . But remember its a Rumor
Ziero
I'm hoping that's not the case and it's just a new big 'con. I actually really liked Megs last design in both bot and alt modes, it worked well for him being more or less a flying tank. Plus if he keeps the same alt mode, it greatly increases our chances of finally getting a super awesome, super accurate leader scale toy of him. When they have a new Alt mode to work with they have less time and reference material to work with when designing the toy. But much like how RotF Prime was an upgrade over '07 Prime, if Megs kept his Rotf Alt Mode and Design, the TF3 toy would have had the chance to be far superior to their previous efforts.

I'm holding out hope this isn't true...but there's a good chance it totally is
baggzey23
don't think it's megatron since he still has his cybertronian face and if he scanned something his face would change colour and/or shape
Satomiblood
But the blue truck we saw on that freeway video isn't the same as the tanker truck. IIRC the tanker truck wasn't on the set for that scene, either.
Laffa Taffa
I highly doubt that he will take the form of a rusted up tank truck, but then again he was a tank in the second movie. Only reason I don't see this happening is for the Leader Toy they will have to make for him. They should definitely give him some real hands though in the next movie as well as for the toy.
Knightshadow
WHO KNOWS!!! I mean, he did get his ass kicked in the last film.....maybe he was unrepairable.......but the way these movies have gone so far...nothing would surprise me.
Incepticon
A little lame imo if both Prime & Megs are semi trucks, but if it means Megs finally getting an Earth alt mode, I'm all for it. I've gotten VERY sick & tired of this whole "Megatron is too bad ass to worry about hiding from anyone" schtick since all it's meant is absolutely retarded alien alt modes that don't look like anything and haven't required any clever transformation engineering. This would at least take a little more effort than just throwing some wings or treads on on some indiscernible object.

So, uhh, im gonna have to take this with a pinch of salt!
exclusacon
The thing is megs leader toy just sat on the shelf like forever....if its indeed megs now hasbro becomes super lazy and just use primes mold twice.....the fact everyone kknows what megs look like now, why not hide...remember they want the autobots gone from earth...it could be a disguise for megs to fram optimus
VokVisitor
No way. That makes... minimal sense to me. It would fly in the face of Megs' revulsion at human vehicles, it would go against the fact that he was some kind of weird.... space-thing in the first two movies. And... even if he did pick and earth mode, out of all the things Megatron would choose to turn into, you'd think a truck would be low on his list.

We'll see, but I doubt this.
Let's say the source is reliable even, that doesn't mean that the information on SET is going to be honest. If I was Bay, I'd have them scramble the call sheets so that a leaked call sheet wouldn't spoil the names, and so that even crew didn't really know the names of characters for sure until the movie was finished.
Ash from Carolina
Hum, an unusual but still pretty interesting choice if it's true.

I kind of wonder though if his robot mode would still have his BFG because there is just something off about the character when he doesn't have some sort of arm canon.

holy shit YES PLEASE! destroy all gewunner-dreams! i love it!

2 supreme toys! prime with trailer, and megs with trailer! yes this would be so cool!

gewunners: star crying NOW!

I call nonsense, It's either Octane or Scourge. The only scenario in which Megs would be an armageddonesque tanker truck would be if he was destroyed and rebuilt by Isaac Sumdac. Not gonna happen.
Mister Gone
Well, remember we do have Decepticons that are impersonating Autobots (i.e. the evil twins) Maybe this is Megs smearing OP.
Mechafire
I'm okay with this, if it's true.
Optimus Prime
I hope it's true. I've been hoping Megatron would get an Earth mode, and that wicked-looking fuel truck as a kind of anti-Optimus alt. mode would be awesome.
Mister Gone
Wait a minute... This is the ultimate in irony. We have movieverse supporters complaining that the new designs aren't close enough to the original movie designs!
OH GOD!


LOL
Satomiblood
I'm buying this more as a temporary alt mode, as Mister Gone suggested a few posts above.
thenatureboywoo
If it is then this is cool. Movie Megatron finally gets a decent alt mode.
HIM666fan
all i can say is yes!!
i totally can see him with this alt mode!!

man i hope this is true
talk about some epic toys like someone mentioned!!

This is LAME!!

Maybe movie Megs got sick and tired of being shot up because he didn't have a decent disguise? Ah hell, ever since he called the Fallen "Master" and was fawning over him, he's been the lamest of all Megatrons.

Really!? The puny fleslings worked him over pretty good in both movies.
Maybe he finally realized that hiding gets you less shot.
FanimusMaximus
um....WHAT THE FU-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

I was expecting Wreck gar.
prime292
Kewl maybe we will get our first good megatron leader class mold out of this truck
bignick1693
cool but i still can't see him as that. come on a tank is way cooler than that.

He's not doing a very good job of it though.
Mister Gone
I keep trying to look for where a giant gun would hide on that alt mode. I like this one better.


Also, Tanker Truck Spoiler

Edit: Whoa, that truck is called Shockwave!
