    Sure enough. I have really wanted to see Bumblebee as a modern VW Bug for a while, but really I’d prefer any compact car over yet another muscle car.

    Optimus should be a Pepsi truck. Homage Pepsi Convoy, because Pepsi Convoy is awesome.

    I'd be too tempted to have them change their alt-modes with each movie.

    All Autobos should be electric vehicles with a range between 250 and 300 miles.
    Would be interesting to see a movie 3 hours long where the 2 hours are about charging.
    Bumblebee is of course a renault twizy

    The cons have an advantage, they run on hydrogen fuel cells, so refills take a minute

    YouTube (Legacy):
    Optimus: Freightliner Fl86.
    Bumblebee: ZL1 Camaro.
    Ironhide: GMC Pickup Truck.
    Ratchet: The custom Hummer H2 Ambulance. His Bayverse alt-mode is pretty sick.
    Wheeljack: Lancia Stratos.
    Arcee: Citroën C4 WRC.
    Cliffjumper: Dodge Charger
    Jazz: Porsche Taycan.
    Bulkhead: Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6.
    Chromia: Pagani Zonda R
    Hot Rod: Dodge Viper.
    Kup: Morgan Motors Plus Six or a Rolls Royce Phantom

    Megatron: Cybertronian Tank or Jet.
    Shockwave: Cybertronian Tank that looks like his Prime vehicle-mode. (Shockwave and Megatron strike me as characters who don't want Earth-modes)
    Soundwave: F-550 Armored SWAT Truck.
    Starscream (and every Seeker.): Harrier Jump Jet.
    Barricade: Ford Mustang.
    Knockout: Bugatti Chiron

    Lockdown: 1990 Firebird Trans Am.

    Those are my choices for Present day alt-modes.
    For Post-Bee movie alt-modes, G1 for everyone, except for the following:
    Arcee: 1980 Corvette.
    Kup: Morgan Plus 8.
    Hot Rod: Plymouth Superbird.
    Soundwave: A news Satellite truck.
    Same answer for Shockwave, Megatron and Starscream.

    Just please don't make Ironhide turn into something a Karen would drive around in, and keep Megatron a cybertronian tank like he was in ROTF where he was also capable of flight.

    If we do dinobots, keep their dinosaur modes consistent with a certain time period, though I would like them to be giants compared to other Transformers like in AoE.

    I’ve always thought an armored van like a bank truck or something would be a good fit for Ironhide
