Well, according to a report linked to the Wikipedia article on the movie, it is the blue Mercedes, and it is an Autobot (but no name yet).

You are confusing Shockwave with Soundwave (and he was in the second film, not the first).

I mean't the second movie :p haha and yeah, I've made a mistake with Shockwave/Soundwave, silly me, half asleep haha!

After digging through some more sites just now, I have come across some images of what appears to be an airport-style fire truck, and there is some speculation that it could either be Rodimus Prime (since the color seems to match) or Ultra Magnus (since it is a similar style truck to his Transformers:Animated form). Let the speculation begin!!

^Either of those would be cool to have in this movie. Though I rather see Ultra Magnus in it then Rodimus Prime. Some people could see the R on the side door as a hint though. I'm sure Michael Bay wouldn't make such obvious hints :p

And about the blue Mercedes; I don't believe it until I see it :p

The design of that fire rescue truck reminds me of Utlra Magnus but the colours and R-like letter remind me of Rodimus Prime. My bet is on Ultra Magnus though.

I really don't think the Firetruck is Rodimus. I think Rodimus/Hot Rod would be the Red Ferrari 458 Italia. But if the Firetruck is Ultra Magnus, I'd also be happy. Cause it looks just badass in those colours.

The problem that I have with the firetruck being Sentinel Prime or Rodimus Prime is that ROTF pretty much established that Optimus Prime was the only surviving Prime.

I totally agree. I hope it's not true, and it absolutely could be since it's just at the rumor level right now. Michael Bay going against his own continuity just wouldn't surprise me.

This is cool:

TAK10927.jpg

I just checked the site that the image comes from, and can't find that item. Damn, I really wanted one (if it was a decent size flash drive). edit: found the item with a Google search, but it is sold out (and was $45 for a 2GB drive, no thanks!).

I was browsing through the TF forums.. found this..

Soundwave-Shockwave-Heads_1280089839.jpg

Yeah, I've seen that image before (here, I though, but I might be wrong).

Reading around, apparently the ship could be the

Ark

which would be interesting!

That's what I've been saying ever since I saw the trailer (and was talking about here the other day).

Ship?

The one that crash landed on the moon in the teaser trailer.

Also, another rumour is that the Transformer in the trailer has the symbol which the original primes had which is confusing people since apparently The Fallen had killed off all the original Primes except for Optimus? And if Optimus is the only surviving Prime then that means there is no Sentential Prime...?

Yes, as of 2009 all of the original Primes were dead, but remember that in ROTF Jetfire said that Optimus was the last living DESCENDENT of the Primes (in other words, he wasn't one of the original Primes, as all of them sacrificed themselves to create the tomb of the Primes to protect the Matrix of Leadership). What we don't know is how many of their descendents were still alive in 1969 (which is when the trailer, and presumably some of the movie is set). I'm thinking that this movie is going to be a partial sequel/partial prequel with extensive flashbacks telling the story of what happened when the Autobots were on their way to Earth in pursuit of Megatron (they already established that he had been on Earth for many thousands of years entombed in the ice, and was discovered in 1897).

I'm so hoping this.

@Razorwing: Found what? I don't see it :p

Yeah, for some reason, the picture doesn't show up in his original post, but then link is there if you reply to him and it shows up in my reply to him above!!! Weird forum bug, I'm guessing.

edit: now it isn't showing up in my reply either, but if you reply to the message, you can get the link to the picture. It is a picture of the cardboard cutouts of Shockwave and Soundwave's heads on the set of the movie.

Here's the picture Razorwing posted earlier. Maybe it didn't show because it was hotlinked from another forum:

Ok, is that Bay just messing with us?

I don't think so. Two things we can tell from that image though: 1. Soundwave and Shockwave will be on Earth at some point in the movie, interacting with the human characters 2. Shockwave is a good bit taller than Soundwave (but of course, we never really know how big Soundwave is because the only thing we see him with in ROTF is a satellite of unknown size).

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Phillip0web · Posted

      They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By Steven P. · Posted

      24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though

Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback.

When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell.

With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter.

They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations.

      I'll move to it when it hits beta, I suspect.
