I really hope it's Hod Rod and not an original character with a popular or obscure G1 character's name like most of the other movie Transformers.
It'd be PERFECT timing for Roddy to be in TF 3, with his MP release. =) Come on, Mike, make Transformers 3 go out with a bay-explosion.
Excluding the ******ed twins and Jolt, the rest of the Autobot roster are made up of Tier 1 G1 characters. The Decepticon on the otherhand have a lot of obscure and lesser known characters, but thats because most of them are cannon fodders. Hence why I assume the Ferrari will either be Roddy , CJ or Wheeljack. Sliverbolt and Sunstreaker kinda screwed themselves by having color specific names.
Overdrive, Overdrive, Overdrive, Overdrive, Overdrive! Gotta be Overdrive. I can't see it being any other bot.
Forgive me if i've jumped in past someone saying this already... But we know that Alan 'Wash' Tudyk is in the movie.... and the Italia COULD, maybe, potentially be Hot Rod.... If you've watched anything he's been in, would you say he'd be a good VA for Hot Rod?
im guessing its cliffjumper cause you know, hows hes gonna be part of the main team in 'transformers prime'. so this might be the big reveal of his kinda crazy awesome character.
I think it's wheeljack due to the Italian car tie in thing. my second place guess would be Cliffjumper because of the color and a little G1 likeness.
of those two options id say HotRod but im only choosing from those two. we'll see. i dont know that Bay will go with that, the name is kind of cheesy.
not enough information to make a guess but id LMAO if it was Chase of the throttle bots as he is red and a Ferrari.
I'm hoping it's Hot Rod (at least if he has enough screen time to have a personality- otherwise, who cares?). Knowing Bay, it'll be something stupid though. Maybe he'll name it Grapple, Sludge, Roller or even Teletran 1. Unfortunately Hot Rod just makes too much sense. Still hoping, though.
