    I think I know who the slicer robot is...

    I think it is the freightliner and it is Motormaster...

    many people are asking: how can it be dead when optimus is shoot if the freightliner appears in china?

    the answer is simple: clones!

    the constructicons had several clones of rampage, long haul, etc...

    so, why not the stunticons too?

    It is the Argosy Freightliner but not Motomaster. It's Galvatron.

    if the freightliner is not motormaster, I am going to be mad... or at least I am going to think it is weird...

    the freightliner is so identical to g1 motormaster...
    and hey, someone (I don't remember who) said that TF4 would be very pleasure to g1 fans...

    If it's not Galvatron, I'm going to be so pissed.

    hmm I def don't buy the clones bit. I mean, the closest thing we had to clones were ROTF Constructicons and DOTM Dreads, but it wasn't like Michael Bay went out of his way to deliberately bring the vehicle mode into two different shots for the sake of clones if I can remember properly.

    Don't think Stunticons have been confirmed to be in the movie.

    The difference between this and the Constructicons too is that the Argosy seems to be one very specific character rather than one amongst many similar types of vehicle; there was and army of construction vehicles, some that had individual robot modes, some that combined into Devastator (as we never saw those specific vehicles transform individually there's no reason to assume that they actually had individual robot modes, something that was even evident in the mainline toys - though the legends set incorporated all modes for playability).

    One single truck really stands out on its own though, so doesn't seem likely it's pat of an army of clones really.

    By looks, it's either Galvatron or Cyclonus. And while the odds of it being Galvatron are higher, it looks more like Cyclonus to me. 2 head horns, smooth forehead and yellow core like chest. Looks more G1 Cyclonus than Galvatron. But one thing we all know by now is not to go just on looks alone in a Bayformers movie lol. For all we know it could still be a human built Magnus lmao!

    Nope, Nelson said the Freighliner's character would probably piss off a lot of G1 fans.

    As of right now I think we can all agree that the idenity of this particular character remains in speculation. So I don't think we will totally know who it is until we see either another trailer, recieve official word, or see a toy. But it is very unlikely this character is Motormaster.

    Agreed and if it was just a clone of many clones, I don't think Bay would have the truck up on his site as a main character vehicle.

    I've been trying to think of a Con who's known for zipping about on really sharp-bladed ice-skates - any ideas? lol
