    So my thoughts on the orange truck:
    Going for both obvious options, fresh trademarks from recent shows, a couple cool G1 options, some unicron trilogy options, or super obscure characters that might get reinvented.
    1. Swindle
    2. Crumplezone
    3. Strika
    4. Bisk
    5. Tow-Line
    6. Wedge
    7. Huffer
    8. Smokescreen
    9. Longarm
    10. Clench

    I kinda find the idea of Scourge being a duocon and having two truck modes very interesting.

    I'd say the most likely option is some random name chosen from the more obscure corners of the brand's history, a la Blackout and Barricade. Under those circumstances I'm going for "Oil Slick" as my top choice.

    That said, I think Bludgeon would fit quite nicely with what we already know of the other Terrorcons.

    I\'m just going to say it now before I see the movie and maybe love the character. I REALLY HATE HOW \"MIRAGE\" IS BLATANTLY JAZZ. Okay, I feel better.

    I love all the van hate, and I too would like to hate on it :lol  I am sure as I sit here, it’ll just be some random nameslap, maybe Wheeljack, but my main issue is what’s with that f*****g color scheme? It’s like did Bay or Caple drop a deuce, look in the bowl and say “wait, I have the most brilliant idea...” I thought these movies were about selling toys. Maybe I’m completely out of touch, but I can’t imagine a 5-year-old in the aisle going, “mommy, mommy! I want the brown one!” Take a page from MMPR or TMNT: colors, colors people. Should’ve been green, purple, pink, hell... any color other than brown.

    Maybe the robot mode will redeem it, but I’m sure as hell not sold looking at this parking lot here.

    You do realize there are multiple brown transformers right? Also the VW is a super light tan so not sure what you’re smoking.

    What a time it must've been to be following the development of the 2007 movie. That top pic is awesome.

    Vehicle color in alt mode is not that important at the toy aisle since now the robots always come in robot mode. A kid would want Wheeljack merely based on what they like about him in the film.

    Well, hopefully there'll be some green under that van armor...
    I wonder when we'll start seeing the "beasts" in all this, maybe NYCC next week?? Starting to wonder if the Predacons are even in it, they're already up to 12 robot CG models, I think that's already surpassing BUMBLEBEE's budget. I agree with people who are saying the Decepticons are probably just a tease maybe in the first 10 min like Bumblebee, wouldn't be surprised if they're just recolors of models used in BEE. Probably just get whacked by Scourge to show him off as the "new" bad guy.

    Honestly, I'd be way more on board with this van being Wheeljack if they at least got the damn color scheme right but they couldn't even do that. Why the hell is it tan and, what is that salmon? Orangish brown? It's hard to tell but whatever it is its godawful and not even remotely right for Wheeljack. I will say being a tv repair van does make sense for the character but man the van they chose is fuggly.

    All I can really ask for though is that he looks like Wheeljack in bot mode, surely they can't screw that one up considering they're keeping similar designs from Bumblebee with all the other Autobots right?... right?

    We don't usually see "the cgi characters" til first trailer, and there is no way the trailer won't be a Superbowl scenario as per usual, so I wouldn't assume NYCC, think 2022 more likely.

    Yeah this pretty much sums it up. The only outlier I can recall is TLK. We got concept art about a year before the movie released, and a trailer about 6 months prior as well. As was mentioned above, I would expect anything relating to CGI and trailers until next February at the earliest.

    Looks great! Loved it! Ready to lurk the toys aisle next year just for those amazing alt-modes alone.

    The Autobot pic, while not being strictly cartoon acurate, are what I\'d imagine the G1 cartoon if it takes place in the 90s imo.
