Transformers Fans can cross-out Rollbar from the list of Autobots of Transformers 3 because Nelson; Administrator of MichaelBay.Com, said…
“I’ve just received official re-confirmation that the Jeep is not in the movie.”This piece of story began when Nelson simultaneously commented at his site and at ours with..
“It’s actually not Rollbar or a TF to being with. This Jeep has nothing to do with the TF3 production as of this moment.A dedicated fan decided to try his luck at having his Jeep featured in TF3.
It was a publicity stunt on behalf of the owner in which “reportedly” some set people fell for. It never made it into the set. Have you seen images of it being take off the flatbed and getting prepped? No.
Have you notice that most of not all the videos have been mysteriously removed by the studio?”
cypherXR of 2005 Boards, further backed-up Nelson with “Interesting. I do find it a bit odd after speaking to the owner of the Jeep that after he told me “definitively” that it was going to be in the movie, he now says he can’t comment on it at this time. Thanks for the clarification on the matter Nelson.”
All we have to say is… Rollbar, Don’t Transform but Roll-Out (Out of the movie, that is).
UPDATE: Following cypherXR’s footsteps, many had contacted the owner of the “Rollbar” Jeep. Confirmations are coming in that it is indeed a Publicity Stunt to get the Jeep in the movie and measure Fan Reaction to it. We are saying a special “Thank You” to all of those who contributed to this article with various information by contacting us. Clearly, Rollbar’s latest news is not a Misinformation, It seems.
So, Rollbar may not Transform & Roll-Out (as an Autobot) after all.

Take away from the other robots? I'm against "Rollbar" being in the movie because there's no reason for it to be there other to shoehorn him in to get the owner off their back.
Yeah, Jolt has his fans. He had a nice alt. mode and his bot mode is cool too, but there was absolutely no reason for him to be in there, and that's coming from someone who liked Jolt.
Don't want them to do the same thing here all because the guy who owns the jeep doesn't know when to quit. It also looks really gaudy compared to the actual movie vehicles.
Spoiler
The guy is a stalker, trying his damndest to get in the film.
RedWolf
It wont.

If this makes it into the movie, I have a question about the toy–I'm gonna say more than half of the mass of the Jeep is in the wheels, so how are they gonna make it work in robot mode much less toy form?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I think it'd be beyond awesome if Rollbar ended up in the film as this Jeep. It's a wicked vehicle.
I can honestly see this vehicle being included in the film though. Remember the guy who built it said that Paramount asked to see the stats and info on the vehicle? It wouldn't surprise me if they put Rollbar in TF3 as this Jeep, even just for a small, Jolt like role.
I know a lot of people are against Rollbar as the Jeep being in TF3, because it will somehow take away from the other robots. However, almost all of these people also think Jolt is a cool robot. We could have the same deal with Rollbar in TF3.

I really hope Rollbar makes it into TF3. When I saw this vehicle, it was one of the new robots I was truly excited to see.

Except Sideswipe, who doesn't even have a roof now.

As an Autobot?
That would work.

Is any one else not worried that this guy put (fake but still) guns on his jeep? Where can i get them!

UPDATE:
I've talked to the owner of the Jeep and he specified to me that it was never approved for the movie. He was never on the actually set, just outside of it. He was only in Chicago for 3 hours at that. The reason he brought it to Chicago was not a publicity stunt, although it will be taken as such. He has been talking to Dreamworks and Paramount about getting it in the movie and they've asked him for a spec sheet on it and for multiple pictures. So maybe with enough fan support it will find it's way into the movie, if only in a cameo roll/extra roll.
Believe me, if he had wanted to get it on set, he could have easily. Even the security around the place asked him where he wanted to unload it on the set. So instead of risking not being in the movie at all by lying and "trespassing" onto the set, he just packed up and left. I hope this clears up some of the confusion of what actually went on. I know Tommy and I don't think he'd try to swindle his way in or out of something.

What if they made it Swindle?

I'm glad the Jeep isn't in the movie, we have enough new Autobots as it is.
