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 topic is now closed to further replies.

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).

      It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
