    Not to be negative but he could atleast get the names right when writing an article.

    Lockdown, not lockout ;)

    Yeah I know we've seen him as a Bugatti, I guess I worded my post wrong :X
    I meant this must confirm he actually is a helicopter too.

    Edit: Guess I should spoiler tag stuff just in case.

    EnergonWaffles,
    does Drift's helicopter body resemble his helicopter mode toy at all or does he look different, like a Cybertronian helicopter?

    It's good to hear that it's a good movie from someone who actually understands what and who these movies are made for.

    Sorry man I don't know. Only know that from the AceConvoy's huge spoiler thread. Gotta ask in there. :)

    Just caught a press screening this morning, I can confirm that:

    - yes he turns into a helicopter AND a veyron
    - can alternate as he wishes
    - his bot mode stays the same, with veyron parts

    nah.. it infuriates me that it's just a repaint with a new head.. that's absolute bullshit.

    oh hasbro.. why do you have to screw this up soo bad..

    but man.. from what i've read, this'll most likely end up being my favorite of all of four movies.. i'm so excited..

    ESPECIALLY because all of the autobots look interesting and unique.. a samurai, a big grizzled vet with a beard, and a kick ass robot with a trench coat.. man i can't wait.

    "It’s Almost Three Hours of Pure Bayhem"
    Actually from reviews the first 40 minutes is just human scenes with Optimus not appearing until the 40 minute mark. The film is also referred to by many as 'bloated' and 'dull' with several reviewers stating it could have trimmed an hour of pointless scenes.

    "There’s Nonstop Robot on Robot Action"
    Referring back to my prior point - you're point is a lie - the film has 40 minutes of opening filler.

    "The New Autobots Rule"
    Umm... reviews say that Crosshairs is an unlikeable asshole and Drift is a stereotypical Japanese man. The only character that anyone enjoyed is apparently Hound. Optimus apparently has a personality 180 so I doubt that many will like him.

    "The Robot Villains Are Even Cooler"
    Actually reviews on the villains have been mixed and
    Galvatron does nothing, then leaves.
    So while Lockdown may be intimidating, its not a good factor enough to warrant a viewing

    "The Comedy Works"
    That's subjective... though with a 'comedic' scene of a long tongue groping a barely legal teenage I personally doubt it. Comedy once again is not a reason to see the film.

    "Kids Will Lose Their Minds"
    Once again, subjective - it depends on the children and surely this can be viewed as a downside or the news article creator has never been with kids in a cinema. I highly doubt this is a reason to see the movie - especially for all those who are not kids ¬_¬

    "Optimus Prime Wields a Sword While Riding a Tyrannosaurs Rex"
    Who fucking cares? A single scene of a movie is not enough to warrant a recommendation to view the film.
