The partly covered truck beside the Firetruck and to the left of Optimus. It looks like an old missile truck or something. Like Cold War old.

Thoughts?

Sorry dude, there was like 47 pages in that thread, I didn't see it.

 

Ultra Magnus was a seeker and now reformatted? I don't know but I believe whatever it is and the firetruck are one in the same as RebelMan pointed out in another thread.

 

You've lost me.

 

no worries, i know how tuff it is to see if something was already posted or not before posting. TFW mods definitely have their work cut out for them.

 

I know. I wish there was one thread that just contained images.

 

I thought you guys were talking about the one covered by the sheet next to the firetruck.

 

We are!

 

seems Highly Possible, check out where one of Wheelie's Seeker Markers is located; Illinois:

Ah I understand now. I thought he meant seeker as in a jet like Starscream, I forgot the movie version is different. I guess that does seem possible.

 

The license plates on the cars in the scene filmed with the Firetruck are from Washington DC. Look at my pics from the other thread.

 

Very interesting..from what I can make out, the outline of the cab that is obscured by the covering looks a lot like some of the trucks used as Russian missile carriers. I think they're called 'Maz' trucks:

I think I can make out the asymmetric cab shape anyway. We heard there was some filming in Russia, this thing seems to have a military camo look to it, and it's a large alt. mode (big enough for a hulking leader type robot). Then we have that giant blue foot and leg prop witnessed on-set..I wouldn't bet against this mystery truck being Onslaught and that we 'll see his team and Bruticus in the movie, especially since the Combaticons are pretty much the second most popular combiner outfit.

 

The thing is rusty, and if it was camo, it was not recognizable when I took the pics today.

 

YES.

 

seems more likely it's this:

Well it looks kind of yellow-ish, haven't really scrutinised the paintwork properly yet. Actually your mention of the rusting reminded me that in 'Starscream's Brigade' the Combaticons were all old rusty beat-up vehicles. Interesting eh?

 

Possibly it could, we'll have to wait and see.
