    If true, I think thats pretty cool.
    At least its a main character and not a background character like Inferno would have been
    . (I'm assuming that because hes, ya know, a
    Prime
    ).

    A security guard said that. Yeah, sorry, but I'm going to take this with a huge grain of salt.

    Hope they keep the TF Animated persona if this is true.

    ... it might explain why everyone turned against the autobots.

    I only care that it would definitely get a toy, if true.

    I am taking that with a huge truck load of salt as security Guards are rarely in the know and for all we know he could be spouting off a name he remembered from the time he watched TFA with his kid.

    Come on, what are the chances of that happening? Some dude isn't going to pull that name out of his ass because he saw it somewhere else.

    I'm going with that. Random name, hell for all we know, he is jerking our chain. He could be a TF fan, not really know, randomly pick a name, and laugh as the internet rumors start.

    Unless...
    Maybe Optimus get's severly damaged in a battle, and gets upgraded to Sentinal?
    Nah, that sounds worse that the guy jerking our chain by tossing a name at us. I gotta stop reading all these speculation threads, they are making me just as crazy as some others.

    I see that working. Nelson said we would flip out when we got confirmation on the fire truck's identity - this is certainly fan-wanky enough.

    Just hope the robot mode does it justice.

    ^ Oddly enough, that character is already part of the movie-verse. Check the wiki.

    I'll believe it when it's posted by a reliable source. Like Nelson himself or in an interview with the writers, or on Hasbro's own production material. There's a whole lot of security guards and janitors out there who hear things, but don't always hear the whole story.

    If this guy is proven right, good for him. But I'll personally wait for stronger proof.

    I wish they would have gone with an engine or a quint and not an ARFF truck, this would have been cooler IMO.
