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:

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.

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).

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
