    Even if it's not really called Q it's still a nice tribute to the memory of Desmond Llewelyn.

    A good explanation can be found on Wikipedia...
    Front spoilers, found beneath the bumper, are mainly used to direct air flow away from the tires to the underbody where the drag coefficient is less. Rear spoilers, which modify the transition in shape between the roof and the rear and the trunk and the rear, act to minimize the turbulence at the rear of the vehicle.

    Hope this helped. :)

    How is it possible that Wheelie and this "Q" have been friends for a long time? Wheelie was still a Decepticon in ROTF? That would mean that "Q" was as well.

    It is probably nicknamed "Q" to resemeble a certain James Bond character that built fancy gadgets. And maybe like one poster has said, his name is probably Hi-Q after the powermater Nebulan for Optimus Prime.

    According to the comic prequel, he's was some microbot that was owned by Shockwave. But then again, it is a prequel comic and they're usually not canon.

    It's either Michael Bay requested the car must use the specific Brabus kit which won't fit on the E63 or its just that Mercedes didn't give permission for them to use the E63.

    Q is a stupid name.

    It especially won't fly in French, where "Q" and "cul" have the same pronounciation... "Cul" meaning ass.

    Heroic Autobot Ass.

    Nice ring to it.

    I strongly think it's a stand in name. MB and co are doing a REALLY good job keeping a tight lip on things this time around. Sentinel Prime was the only name that leaked.

    Q..... that's crap. If they never wanted Wheeljack, they should have at least gone with Perceptor. And if this character does turn out to be the inventor(most likely), then thats just too James Bond. Damn it Hasbro!

    I think a security gaurd let slip the name "Wheeljack"
    "Q"'s probably a production nicknaem
    Skipjack = Rampage
    Stinger = Sideswipe
    Wheelbot = Demolishor
    Wheels = Wheelie
    Q = Wheeljack
