Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Transformers 3)

[ToneKnee]

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

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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.

[Southern Patriot]

By the way, has anyone else noticed the irony of the new girl's character name? Well, we already had Sam, and now we have Carly. iCarly FTW LOL!!

Some people have suggested that fire truck could be Sentinel Prime as well.

[TonyLock]

Isn't Utlra Magnus soposed to look like a white version of Optimus?

That seems to have become tradition, but it isn't definitely isn't law. And I don't think Michael Bay is a person to care about tradition anyway.

[Southern Patriot]

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.

[TonyLock]

This is cool:

[Razorwing]

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.

[Razorwing]

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

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.

Reading around, apparently the ship could be the

Ark

which would be interesting!

[TonyLock]

Ship?

[Southern Patriot]

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!).

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

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:

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Ah, that one.. It shows Shockwave and Soundwave .

[TonyLock]

Ok, is that Bay just messing with us?

[Southern Patriot]

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).

[TonyLock]

He's just slightly larger than an 80's audio cassette.

[TonyLock]

Does anyone wonder how hey will enplane away the missing lovely Miss Fox?

I hope it won't be a lame line like:
