    I like the Bugatti and the Corvette, but I really dislike the redesign of Optimus' s vehicle mode.

    Drift as a Bugatti makes no sense. The original idea behind Drift is that he has a drift car alt mode. With how popular Drift racing has become, it seems a total missed opportunity.

    Drift is okay with me, but not Slingshot. The name Slingshot should be a jet.

    That Michael Bay's such a piece of shit.

    Not that i didnt already know it from his previous 3 shitty movies, but it's like he has no idea there's a show out there that these movies are supposed to be based on...

    Next thing we know, Galvatron will be the buxom pink helicopter Autobot wife of Optimus Prime. :lolol 
    Someone needs to smack Bay in the face with a wrench before it's too late.

    "However, speaking to the fans Michael Bay Official Website Admin Nelson said “This is the 4th movie, you would think these guys would've learned by now that production names DO NOT EQUAL final name.”"

    More like "This is the 4th movie, you would think these guys would've learned by now that Michael Bay loves to mess with the fans."

    If Nelson had kept his comments to himself over this leak he'd have left the community still guessing if it was real or not. Coming out with that comment only confirms the person leaking the information is genuine, meaning any future reports he makes are going to be taken with seriousness by the fans.

    Also, I don't doubt Nelson is telling the truth about those names being production names but considering they're not random names like 'Stinger' or 'Rush' it's safe to say these names are being strongly considered since the past has shown us that when they used preexisting names for the characters on callsheets, the only reason they were changed between production and post-production was because the character in the movie wasn't a good reflection of the original name bearer, such as 'Sentinal Prime' originally going to be named 'Ultra Magnus'.

    You missed my point entirely. When you keep bitching about other people bitching that doesn't make it any better. You're essentially the pot calling the kettle black. You can't change those people's minds anymore than those people can't change Bay's mind. As long as Bay keeps making these movies it's guranteed there'll continue to be things to complain about. This is a Transformers board, no? New movie starts production > info leaks out > fans come here to state their opinion. That's kinda how it works.
    Heh, no kidding. It's as if he had one of his associates search for names on TFwiki, wrote them all down, and put them in a box to draw them out randomly and whenever a cool name was drawn he put them in the movie.

    These are 2 confirmed autobots not decepticons so stop with the lockdown reference lol if these are their names ill think of them as shattered glass figures or machine wars lol but in all seriousness everybody jus calm down dang yall are goin to blow a head gasket and start leaking lubricants over a few name drops and turn around to go see the movie. Transformers have been transformed many times over from g1 to comics to toys to cartoons and now movies.... Hoist was green in g1 then black in machine wars. G1 sideswipe red then black in g2 also blue in cybertron cartoon. G1 ironhide red then a cow colored truck toy then an SUV in armada. So jus calm down. You know your only mad cuz its bay making the movies and not someone else. Relax hopefully we get another director for the nex movie and so on and jus smile :)

    Veyron is far better suited to Blurr and I thought the corvette would be Springer, given its green

    What if the stingray and bugatti are already characters from previous films. I.e. Ratchet, Dino, sideswipe, skids\mudflap.

    Wouldn't surprise because bay has unveiled what hound, prime and bee look like.

    And is something he would do

    I'd really rather Drift be a car that's built for, y'know, Drifting. And Blurr as a Bugatti is too damn perfect to waste on another character.

    TF4 Bots

    I bet my bottom dollar that the Autobot in the Bugatti car is ..DaDaDahhh...Prowl..as for the Corvette I don't have a guess other then Perceptor. I hope they bring back The Wreckers that were in TF3 cause I want to see more Wrecker attitude along with their head rip trick haha...Yea Prowl I bet its him..That car fits him just nice, As for the new Autobot, Hound, Rollin in that big military truck..oh man I cant wait for him to kick ass and talk in a deep voice ( The bigger the bot the deeper the voice in my view..Except Starscream he is a Whining brat ).
