I'm not sure why we're still speculating about who the "unknown fourth transformer" is.

-Bumblebee
-Barricade
-Seeker
-Red Plymouth GTX

 

Are there any male heros? Doesn't seem fair if they portray the guy as a weakling. Heck... guys won ww2!!

 

Guys won WWII because the misogyny of the era prevented women from joining the armed forces...
Also, last I checked Bumblebee is indeed a male character.
Now, as the title suggests this is a CHARACTER speculation thread. Please take politics elsewhere.

 

Are we 100% sure there’s only 4 at this point? There’s been lots of reshoots... and now they’re doing even more reshoots. Hopefully more bots are heavily involved in the plot, or maybe we’ll at least get some cameos.
As for the GTX, I thought that would be Barricade. Not to mention Optimus Prime is more or less a sure thing.

 

I think it's hilarious. These robots go to such great lengths to perfectly replicate vehicles, from tires to glass to keys, and yet this one is revealed because his face is staring down the bottom of the car. "Haha, I don't need to turn around or split up my face or anything, they never look down here anyway."  

Silly ol' bee.

 

Yes, it's pretty funny. In the original comics Bumblebee managed to replicate the outer shell of the car with a stirring wheel (I think), but forgot about such small detail as gas pedal  

It kind of highlights that they do not turn into a car completely and there is some room for some inconsistencies. It's actually pretty cool.

 

I think it's a plot device.

 

It also shows that Travis Knight is a legitimate transformers fan. Only those who grew up playing with the toys would know that having the head visible under the alt mode is a consistent trait of transformers toys. Travis used that obscure knowledge most would take for granted and made visible head syndrome now canon.

 

WHAT IF BLUE LIGHT IS

Spoiler

Drift! That'd be cool especially with O_P saying that both cons wind up as triple changers at some point in the film. and if they're really "lovers" that's why Drift has that weird grudge against bumblebee later on. who knows. O_P also said they both die.

 

Spoiler

- Bumblebee
- Optimus (for a few sec)
- Ramjet
- Overkill (Plymouth Placeholder name)
- "Blue-light" (I still don't know it's name)

 

Sources??

 

One of those is Barricade. There’s only 5 robots in this movie.

 

Really hope that’s not t

I really hope that’s not true. The cons ALWAYS die at the end of the movies. At this point in the timeline they’re supposed to be winning the war... and I’m pretty sure the jet is Starscream. The head looks like G1 Starscream. Not sure why people think it’s Ramjet.

 

Again, how do we know there’s only 5? We’re only basing that number on leaked toy names. Those toys are probably just the first wave anyway. I don’t expect a lot of bots to play an important role in the plot, but I do expect some cameos.

 

Based on things I've heard from different corners of the internet there are not necessarily 4 robots in this movie but 4 main reoccurring ones and there are more like 8 the other 4 being cameos

 

That what I’m expecting! It’s a transformers movie, it needs transformers lol.

 

unless o-p is conning everyone....that guy is NOT scream. just an homage design. now with reshoots that can change. ramjet is a rumor name.

 

Moving right along, I'd personally be happy for it to be Bumblebee and Totally-not!Starscream with one other Decepticon so that the two of them can talk to and bounce of one another.

 

I have heard from a YouTube video that a female decepticon has been confirmed for the movie.

 

Also, the cast could be:

Bumblebee (obviously)
Barricade (confirmed )
Optimus (possibly just narration)
Thrust ( possible for plane, unconfirmed )
Female Decepticon
Blue Pontiac Decepticon
