    That's...an interesting choice for a lead. Not the usual "hot" looking guy Wahlberg was. I'm looking forward to his performance and I'm pretty excited for In the Heights.

    Ex army man? Maybe that's what they mean by hero? Or average Joe?

    To be brutally honest, this seems like a step down for his career.

    So a confirmation that this won't be a full on Beast Wars film or Prime wouldn't have a significant role like this. It was my speculation anyway, but I'm glad to see it confirmed.

    Interesting, kinda like Mark Wahlberg's charecter, but I'm thinking it's more more ex military or maybe even ex criminal. A father who's made mistakes.

    Heartily disagree. If anything, between his moves in music, In the Heights, and this, I’d say his star power is rapidly on the rise. Super excited for this.
    Based on the description for his character in the movie, this wouldn’t surprise me at all, and as long as we get Blaster and Tracks somewhere along the line later, I’m all for it.

    Well for his sake, maybe it'll be a brief stepping stone to better opportunities.

    Not sure if my memory is faulty, but didn't someone stated this here at TFW about a week or two back?

    Said that the main guy is a thief and he makes a bond with Optimus Prime. He learns from his mistakes by walking in the footsteps of Prime and eventually redeems himself. Prime also learns a lesson from him. Also said he gets involved with Autobot-Decepticon War when he tried to "steal" Bumblebee parked outside a building and tries to carjack without knowing it's a robot. Autobots master thievery from him to steal an artifact.

    We don't know the quality of the film. It might be great. I think everyone should give Caple Jr. a chance, the guy literally came after the fame of Ryan Coogler and made a fine sequel to his film.

    A main lead who isn't some existing big name whose only purpose is to be star power on the advertising poster?

    I'll mark this as a possibly optimistic improvement out of the gate, sure.

    The guy who said that leak (not the 4chan one) said his source joked and it wasn't real. So it was most likely a good guess based on some other leaks.

    It's not like Hailee Steinfeld was a big lead before Bumblebee. Though yeah, Ramos is even more unknown for now.
