As for the military vehicle, I've no idea, other than suggest Brawn or Bulkhead. Maybe even Hound.

Is it too easy for the emergency vehicle to be Ratchet?
The big one being Bulkhead? Hmmm...possible given he's a popular known character of the minute. Not sure I'd like that though. Bulk is easily one of my fave TF characters...so it's worrisome what could get done to him. Although Prime and Ratchet have always been good characters in these movies (what little we get, I know )

It might be Bulkhead, though I wouldn't bet on it. Brawn would work too. After all, autobots could use a weapons and/or military specialist. After Ironhide's rusty end...

Well, as much as I love the fifth gen. Camo, it's actually growing old as Bumblebee. Since this is a reboot-ish thing he could use a new(er) look. And if they pull it off right he might look badass.
There I go again, ever the optimist.

To be honest they did say the third movie was going to be darker than the last ones. That certainly did the trick. I was shocked, to say the least. Just not in the theatre. F*cking spoilers...

Bumblbee was made into a heartless camaro, instead of a friendly bubbly VW beetle becuase of the licensing issues. And old american cars ditch function for character, so they should of picked a car with character. Also if bumblbee can change into anything in a second, why is he changing into an old camaro. The thing is, classic cars are rare, so bumblbee beeing one isn't very subtle, neither is that horrible corvette, I can not beleive the word concept is next to it.
If they are now using european cars, they should use an English Range Rover Evoque, the victoria Beckham one at that [never thought I'd say that]. Alot of people love classic American cars, but even more prefer European & Japanese styling, it' s more dynamic and much more functional. Also classic cars are also hated, and that's why there are so many shelf warmers. I've never liked Bumblbee becuase I was never a fan of porsches, and a fat porsche isn't my idea of a dream car compared to a countach. But GM cars have alot of sub companies, so they need to use cars that people are familiar with, and a camaro isn't that world wide spread, but the styling isn't bad. But using an old camaro doesn't make sense.
The Yayron is a step in the right dircetion, but if you want a robot that looks good you need to pick a car that has parts that will enhance its looks. An old american car doesn't have parts that look like they belong on a robot, but an English 4x4 off Roader does. Classic cars are a dumb idea, not only are they rare and therefore not great disguises, they also don't look good as robots, and they are not familar with kids, as us collectors aren't important so I'm told. [even though kids don't care about transformers like we did back in the day]

Anybody else feel the frustration of the coming months of unwanted spoilers that everybody anywhere that has anything to do with action figures will post?
No probably not, I think I'm the only one
Damnit internet, 12 more $%^&!@#!!! months, TWELVE MOAR, and the spoiling already starts.

We'll just have to keep our eyes open for stereotypes with these characters.
movie 1: Jazz - afro-american
movie 2: Arcee(s) - female (okay, that's sexist, but still) and Jetfire - old fellow from the British isles (if I'm not mistaken)
movie 3: Que - yeah, I gots confused with that but it CLEARLY is something.
I'm not evil, just CRAZY!

OP, Bee, Bulkhead, and Ratchet. It's obvious. The supposed other two characters make a good addition to the cast. Hopefully they look awesome like we want them to!
I used to not like Bulkhead when he was introduced in animated. I felt like he replaced Ironhide.
But now I really like Bulkhead so I'm cool with that! I hope he has his trademark giant chin too!

How is it sexist when a female character dies? Characters, usually male, die more often. If anything it's more sexist toward men.
Also most Transformers characters going back to G1 are walking stereotypes by your logic. I guess Bumblebee is a stereotype for mute people?

Before Prime, that was the majority (later half) of the main Autobots in Animated.

Ironhide was dimwitted and clumsy?
Posted by Evil_the_Nub on May 30th, 2013 @ 7:03pm CDT
I'm guessing the big green truck is Hound, but it'll probably get changed to Bulkhead or something else. Overall it looks like they're taking a lot of inspiration from Prime. That desert even looks like the one where their base is located

I dunno. Optimus and Bumblebee are unquestionably confirmed, but as for the military vehicle and emergency vehicle, it's anyone's guess.
I'm with you on it being possibly Bulkhead, but I won't say definitely. I'd also like to suggest Overload as a possible name along with Hound and Brawn.
The emergency vehicle could be Ratchet, but it just doesn't seem like that to me. Prowl or First Aid seem plausible.

I know about animated. I just said Prime because that's the ongoing show at the moment.
I felt like Bulkhead replaced Ironhide because I always associated him being tough. Hence his name.
Wasn't he also one of his close comrades in G1? I usually compare with that because I just love the original cast. I finished all of G1 a couple of months ago.
When I have time I'll get more into the continued Japanese version. Still have no idea why those series never made it to the states.
I remember in one episode Ironhide shot up inside the Ark because someone was flying around (Laserbeak or Swoop?) and I remember thinking "Damn Ironhide you just f***ed up."
So I guess you could say he was dimwitted and clumsy.

I read some yammer earlier and Grimlock was mentioned. Although that truck wold be better as a Bulkhead by all means but the colouring suggests it could be Grimlock. It would be faaaaar more interesting as a character to be Grimmy than Bulkhead (not like character development is Bays strong point) but with that being said.....an Autobot tough guy needs to be introduced into this film either way.
By tough guy i mean a real shit kicker.

First, I am sure we all remember Brawl=Devestator, Wheeljack=Que, Mirage=Dino ... I remember there were a few more, but you get the point. Very few things beyond OP and BB have been confirmed by Bay and co. anyways.
Second, who and when did anyone mention the rusty truck being Grimlock?? If the Dinobots aren't Dinos then scrap them...IF they are in the movie.
Lastly, back to the Rusty Truck...lest my eyes deceive me, it has a faction symbol on the front of it, BUT the resolution isn't there to zoom in effectively... IF I am not imagining things lol.
In the end, I REFUSE to get caught up in all the hub-bub...I will sit back and enjoy the pics, have fun guessing and speculating but NOT having a heart attack and getting bent out of shape quite yet.

I just want a tough guy. That truck looks like it could and should be a tough guy. Could be anybody....a complete unknown...."hub-bub" aside. bub

Nah, Ironhide just didn't realize Laserbeak was one of Hound's holograms.
In other words, Ironhide's just an old coot.

So currently on the Autobot roster we have:
Optimus Prime - Flamed up Custom Western Star Semi
Bumblebee - Black & Yellow '67 Camaro
(Unknown, Drift) - Black & Blue Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse
(Unknown, Slingshot) - Green & Black Corvette C7 Stingray Concept
(Unknown, Ratchet, Prowl) - Unspecified Emergency vehicle
(Unknown, Grimlock, Hound, Bulkhead) - Military Truck
(Unknown, Slug, Kup) - Flat-nose rusty truck cab
So that's 7 rumoured autobot vehicles, im hoping for a few more, as there was a bigger cast in DOTM. If those two big trucks are dinobots, I hope we see Swoop as well.
Now for the cons!

I meant Ironhide sorry about that.

I just remember thinking "damn Ironhide. Who's going to fix all of that now?"

The paintjob on the Bugatti just screams Blurr, but u know they will eff it up somehow.
Awesome. Let's see/hear some Decepticon news now.
I'm willing to bet in the initial meetings (05',06') or whenever Bay went to Hasbro to look at source material before the first movie, he saw the flames on Hot Rod, liked it, and just haaaaad to have them on Optimus. Good job Hasbro!! The flames in the old movie design for Prime were ok, but don't seem to work well in the new design. Ugly.

I have a feeling that Grimlock might in fact be a dinobot or.....
Maybe the rusty flat nosed truck will be Prime in a later alt mode. There's no law that you have to film everything in sequence. Maybe there filming a middle or end scene. Maybe Bee is the 67' at a later time and Optimus goes deep undercover as a rusty flat nosed Peterbuilt. Man i love speculating!

I agree. Plus, it could be the same reason that Prime Bumblebee changed his deco: to throw off Decepticons that are searching for him.
I have a feeling that Grimlock might in fact be a dinobot or.....
Seriously though, were are people getting the assumption that Grimlock is one of these vehicles?
Though to be fair, it wouldn't be the first Grimlock in-fiction to not be a Tyrannosaurus rex...
Maybe the rusty flat nosed truck will be Prime in a later alt mode.
Now that would be a downgrade.
