    IDK if this tells us it's lower budget but in the link to the TFW post when he gave us info about the film (saying it will be set outside the US, and will humanize the TF's) he said it would be over $50 million which probably means nothing other than the budget is over $50 million but I do think it will be a small scale film around the budget or more than Bumblebee.

    With 70-100 million of budget left over, they make a movie starring some Autobot (who other than Mirage I don't see any other option, Bee already had his movie, Optimus will basically be the protagonist in ROTB, and some Decepticon may be risky).

    It could be a character we don’t know/haven’t seen yet (maybe the first TF film without Prime or Bee) I think 100% it’s nothing Maximal or Predacon related (too expensive for a small budget film)

    Woah, blue Beetle robot mode revealed AND already getting his own spin-off?!?! No way!! /s

    0BF0F26F-2A91-4B5C-B331-CFCCD329C62E.jpeg

    No offense to The Fire Brothers (if you're reading this, hi!), but his theory is a bit far-fetched in my opinion. He says that it doesn't make sense for these not to be Transformers, but it's very standard to have other cars driving around in scenes like this (we saw that in Montreal), otherwise the city would look bizarrely empty in an area that's supposed to have regular traffic, as evidenced by the extras walking around. Furthermore, the cars clearly don't match the Terrorcon aesthetic because they're almost unusually clean and have Peru license plates (which none of the Terrorcons have), but they also don't really make sense as Autobots, because Optimus Prime and Mirage don't seem to know where Scourge is in Cusco, as evidenced by them filming Optimus reversing down that street before seeing Scourge and then immediately going after him.

    The line of cars is just a random one that Scourge happens to end up in; you can see that they're driving on their own when Scourge joins them from a separate side street in my edit of the footage. I think part of the reason people think these are Transformers is because all of the other streets are empty when they're filming them, making it look like a big convoy, but that's just because they're not going to pay people to drive cars that aren't going to be seen on camera.

    But hey, I was wrong about the Volkswagen van, maybe I'm wrong about this too.

    I wish they made one revolving around a decepticon. That would be awesome.

    The Volkswagen van was filming too, with the new Peru license plate 1633-0Z (source):

    Wish we could get some video of what the van is doing.

    I wonder if there's going to be some coordination between Optimus and Mirage in vehicle mode, via coms, during this chase scene in the movie, we never really got that in the previous films, aside from Hot Rod telling Bumblebee that he's going to divert the cops during the London Chase Scene in The Last Knight?

    From the way Mirage quickly joined the pursuit after Optimus saw Scourge, I'd say yes.

    He's going to stop zee cops, with a diversion. Then, he's going to stop zee time. :confused2  :lol 

    In all seriousness though, I really do hope we hear them talking while in pursuit. I'm curious as to what Mirage is going to sound like.

    Nah I change my mind. These have to be transformers.

    i mean this first thing i notice is the red colored ae86 trueno , blue colored hatchback ( skids colorscheme ? , first few seconds of the first tiktok), the red hatchback (60s fiat 500 looking car), then the light blue beetle, the green car (kinda looks like a 70s skyline) and that modified taxi with rally lights.

    Those vehicles really have distinct characteristics and I just dont believe that these are civillian vehicles . It's possible they could be autobots,terrorcons hell even decepticons but after that tiktok im sure as hell they arent civillian vehicles.

    the disappointing but more realistic option is that they're the personal cars of human characters in the movie that we just have no context for yet. I really want to believe we're getting more bots, but also I'm ready to be disappointed.

    Exactly, it would be weird if there weren't any civilian vehicles on the road just dozens on Transformers.

    Well, since you guys still think those are Transformers, I've gone ahead and roughly identified some of them:

    Yamaha FZ400R:

    Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 5.32.43 AM.png
    1984_FZ400R.jpeg

    Ford Ranger second generation:

    Toyota Corona ST141:

    Daewoo Tico, a common choice for taxis:

    Nissan Pulsar N14:

    1991_Nissan_Pulsar_(N14_ES)_Q_1.6i_5-door_hatchback_(2015-07-03).jpg

    This looks quite similar to the Toyota Corolla AE86, sorta like the car from Initial D:

    Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 5.14.47 AM.png

    Toyopet Corona RT81:

    1973_Toyota_Corona_(RT81)_SE_sedan_(2015-08-09)_01.jpeg

    Toyota Corona (again) T100-Series SE:

    1998001_1974_Corona_Sedan_color-1000x600.jpg toyota-corona-v-t100-t110-t120-1973-1979-sedan-interior.jpeg

    Fiat 600R:

    Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 5.09.18 AM.png
    1978_Fiat_600R.jpeg 23775432-1979-fiat-600-std.jpeg 1456473764.jpeg

    Toyota Corona (again!) T140:

    Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 5.36.41 AM.png
    7010ddf32b2749266ae5c464ee5417ba.jpeg toyota_corona_van.jpeg

    And the Volkswagen Beetles, of course:

    Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 5.37.31 AM.png Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 5.38.07 AM.png Screen Shot 2021-10-16 at 7.08.36 PM.png

    Toyota Coronas seem to be popular in Peru; there's even a Facebook Group for them.

    Edit: it seems that the red and black car is an AE86 Trueno coupe, very much like the one seen here:

    2011-06-11_10-24-34_552.jpeg 2011-06-11_10-25-14_517.jpeg

    I think the one on set even says "TRUENO" on the grill, even though I can't seem to find pictures of another example that has that. Also, if you look inside of the car, you can see that it appears to have harnesses installed:

    Screen Shot 2021-10-18 at 6.23.41 AM.png

    I wouldn't say this confirms anything, as background vehicles in Peru are probably rented from locals who could have already done whatever modifications they wanted (as was the case in Montreal; some of those had weird interiors), but if I had to pick one of the cars to be a Transformer, this would be it.

    Some more nice pictures from @frank_villalba_carrasco, featuring bullbar-less Optimus, Mirage with a New York plate, and two of the Volkswagen vans (source):

    246192873_853457372025248_4864010388521873256_n.jpeg 246169670_684857055807496_3585922900204818834_n.jpeg 246053963_618568072857019_6059526588473433388_n.jpeg 246026384_2779167945708077_4977031428645447904_n.jpeg

    At first, I thought this was Mirage with a warped door from when Optimus hit him or something, but it looks like there's actually something wrong with the picture itself:

    They're not Transformers. Those other cars are in the shot because they're civilian traffic.
