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.

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).

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
