    A Maryland License Plate makes sense for Washington DC area.

    I thought Rollbar is a cargo van according to the ROTF toy.

    Like claws that emerge from the tires to help Rollbar climb over obstacles?

    I'm not terribly enthused about the design, but it does make more sense when viewed in the context of a choice by a director who insists on including Linkin Park on the soundtrack.

    Hmmm. I thought someone said it wasn't going to be the Throttlebots? This makes that seem false, we got Rollbar now, Ferarri could be Chase, BB has been said to be more 'mature' and upgraded (Goldbug) ... tho I'm holding hope that Nascars won't be Autobots. Other than Shockwave, we've seen no new Cons, which is disappointing. I don't want them to overload on Autobots, then have a ton of Decepticon drones, which is what I'm starting to fear is coming. Especially with the hatchlings and redshirt cons last movie.

    Oh well. They had better have a ton of interaction and convo between Soundwave, Shockwave, Megs and Starscream.

    HA! Dude, I had one! All in all, I think I had around 15 Alternators. Sold them as a lot a few years ago. I've been regretting it since. Don't think I'll ever rebuy them, though, given how expensive it would be...

    I think this is the first Movie Transformer to actually resemble an existing toy of the character. I hope we see more like this.

    Wow, I must admit, being someone who isn't bothered by the movie bots basically being new characters, that's some heavy homage for a movie bot.

    He's a JeEp like the G1 figure.
    He has "TB" on the back logo that could be taken as standing for "Throttlebot".
    And he's red like the Alternator Rollbar.

    That is pretty cool.

    I have to also say, I am surprised in seeing so many non GM Autobot vehicles in this one. I honestly thought they couldn't do that due to some kind of contract limitation. The GM alt-modes never bothered me either, but I must say it is nice to have variety.

    But yeah, now lets see the robot-mode.

    OK, we have two completely red characters in this movie, yet the reason Optimus couldn't be red was because it didn't film well? WTF?
