    The blue piece is clearly a signal light/siren. I still think it's human made. It might morph to limited extent, like MASK vehicles.

    I am actually doubting this is a human vehicle. All of the NEST vehicles and military stuff thus far has been very shiney and new. I would imagine to fight the Transformers they would roll out even shineier and newer vehicles. This screams "don't look at me, I'm old".

    I can tell you it's more than likely NOT going to be Ultra Magnus or Nemesis Prime/Scourge for one main reason... Both characters are too popular to be given a rusty, junkyard look and feel... If it was a Wrecker, IMO< it would have more battle damge than rust and armaments... Plus, I think a lot of people are making their assumptions based on G1 character models, and Megatron proved that they aren't sticking to the G1 models...

    I'm going to have to say that I do agree with the anti-TF human vehicle idea or that if this is a new Transformer, this might be Wreck-Gar... or, just for the hell of it... KUP

    Except, it's not. You can see it's the Mack figurehead with either a blue bag, or a blue piece of cloth put over it and tied to the netting draped over the hood.

    Not NEST or US military, but the anti TF faction founded by humans who survived the supposedly Decepticon attacks.

    We saw the hobo cardboard boxes and we heard the plotline rumours about humanity being thrown back. They probably construct these vehicles from the scrapmetal they have left, to use against both Decepticons & Autobots.

    Of course, that's not going to look as new & shiny as the well funded NEST and US military stuff.

    I think the truck is one of the wreckers, because wreckers don't have faction symbols either.

    Glad there's one other person thinking Octane, cause that's the first thing that came to mind.

    Either that or the Leader of the Wreckers.

    I would Love it to be Onslaught but i think it will be a drone just like the 3 nascar type cars. think of it, it would be the best way for Hasbro to sell off those core combiner P.O.S. the line is lazier and lazier!

    Military vehicles often employ blue signal flags if they're the front vehicle in a military line :

    Except that the Wreckers aren't drones... But I'm prepared to be disappointed, I think this is with the Wreckers, tho I'm still hoping it's a decepticon. It would make for an awesome combat to Prime.

    The Decepticins need reinfordements. My fist guess is Octane. But Scourge, Motormaster and even Nemesis Prime come to mind. With all the photos and attention it has, it must be a Transformer.

    I'd call this into question as its just leaving me with more questions then answers...

    like why no offensive weapons just one mean ass front end?

    Why only one vehicle?

    If it were just one wouldn't a bus or SUV be more logical? hell even MadMax used a bus to transport the survives and fuel hell a fuel tanker is just one big target.

    given the location this truck is at how Prime and the nest hummers still look brand new why only this guy getting the MM make over when they were all seen in the slum set?

    Are we sure those boxes were made to represent a slum and were not just their for a classic chase scene with people driving though boxes? Also this if this is like TF1 then this could also be a fiction "mission" city so their being a slum set could be part of hiding that its Chicago?

    Now saying that this movie has always been about style so this could all be down to "it just looks cooler that way"
