    How? You confirmed the Mercedes Identity, "Q", as you put it (thank you, by the way :) . There has been no confirmation on Jolt's presence. Unless you posted it somewhere else and it was overlooked, this is new.

    Nelson said the the reveal will be just like OP in the first movie, so, it's him. Which is fucking cool! Prime hasn't been seen for awhile in Chicago, this is him! Plus, how could Hasbro make that leader toy better? They can't! So, This will be the new Prime, RID style...

    Prime is seen in the second video going into the 'Nest HQ' that the firetruck also goes into in the other video. Presumably this was filmed on the same day.

    As for guessing the character, Rodimus Prime without flames would be a bit like Optimus Prime with flames.

    I'll guess Rodimus. Though I'd be kinda against it. Dunno how comfortable I am with the idea.

    undoubtedly.

    It'd still be that much more satisfying if the character fits.

    Nelson, can you say:

    - Whether or not Barricade will be back?
    - Will there be Decepticon drones in TF3?
    - If there are more Autobots and Decepticons than previous films?
    - Will the destruction of American civilization be, like, dramatic and scary like War of the Worlds?

    I'm kinda hoping that movie optimus Prime switches alt modes. having movie optimus prime as a fire truck alt mode. would be a great homage to his car robots fire truck alt mode.

    I suspose it would be kinda cool for their to be a ferrari hotrod in the live action movie. then optimus Prime dies. then hotrod powers up into Rodimus Prime fire truck alt mode.

    Not too many people know or remember. way back during the machine wars KB exclusive toy line. that huge Comic store previews book. had machine wars wave 2 listings. the machine wars wave 2 listings were: Rodimus Prime,Shockwave,Springer & arcee. many internet TF fans speculated that G-1 Pyro/spark was going to get repainted into rodimus prime colors. while other fan speculation was that G-2 collossus/clench was going to get repainted as shockwave. there was no fan speculation of arcee & springer.

    Since machine wars didn't sell that great in KB stores. wave 2 got cancelled.

    If that is Rodimus, I'm cool with that, as long as Prime dies. That just looks so much like what prime should be. Either way, this is looking up!

    For the love of god no. It is possible to have Rodimus and Optimus in the same movie without Optimus dying. If it wasn't so cliched and ALREADY DONE IN ROTF, I wouldn't care. In fact Prime is the only Autobot I hope survives, even though I know Bee is gonna survive too.

    Not disappointed in no Jolt being in TF3. not like he was a big character in ROTF, many people prob won't even notice that he does not show up in TF3.

    Yeah. It also has a big R on the side.

    Presumably for 'Rescue', but who knows.

    I was hoping we'd see it in the same video with Optimus so we could confirm that it wasn't Optimus. So far it's still ambiguous.
