    I hope Wheeljack will be in it. But as the same character he was in G1. Aninventor who is his own worst enemy could provide some good moments.

    Would be nice if Wheeljack was that car, only with the addition of his signature green and red stripes!

    Given the history of Saab automaking and the similarity of the overall design to G1 Wheeljack, it almost seems too good to be true. Nevertheless, I am hoping it is.

    It's a good fit, I like it.

    I hope the robot is similarly representative. Since he has a mouthplate we might actually get a decent representation of the G1 'bot as well. Although it always struck me as odd that robot lips were considered such a no-no... until they stuck them on the only character that didn't them. Made almost as much sense as their logic behind not having a spacecraft - they must think that cars don't use Ferry's to cross oceans. What a wonderful world they live in :p

    That car

    Yes, I agree. Especially, since this car has the wrap-around windshield just like Wheeljack's G-1 incarnation. Now, if only they can modify it to give it Wheeljack's original paintjob (wishful thinking, I know).

    Also, looks like there may be more Autobots than we thought (a la what Orci said in an interview), and if so, COOL!!! Check out transformerslive dot blogspot dot com as there is a scene being filmed in a park with Sam and a HUGE load of Autobots - there's even one that (in car mode) has a body similar to a Toyota RAV 4 SUV. Can't wait to see the designs!!! Oh how I'd love to be a fly on the wall at ILM for a day to see the designs and the animated pre-vises. WOW!!!!!

    I saw it yesterday... or at least what I'm pretty sure it was the saab. They were filming it along with the camaro and the semi on kelley drive by the river.

    Yeah, that blog is being really well run. The pics they have up from this base camp are really blurry though, hope someone can sneak a pic of the Aero-X out if it is there.

    Wow. That car would be awesome for anyone. If it is Wheeljack even better. As much as I'd love to see the original paint job, it would make no sense. Racing stripes on a street car doesn't exactly scream 'robot in disguise'....

    That is a sexy peice of machinery. Too bad it's wasted on an Autobot.

    I hope it's true. This vehicle mode for Wheeljack has my full approval. The wrap-around windshield is very true to G1 Wheeljack.

    Not just a wrap around windshield, but the top opens up kinda like G1 Wheeljack's did, so it really is a good match. IE: the windshield and roof lift up and forward to let the occupants in, versus up/backwards on the toy.
