I disagree. Remember, technically the Alternator Deadend should have been Breakdown, but no car company in their right mind will allow their cars to be used for a character with that name. I expect Alpha Trion or a completely new character.


Or he could just be a generic, unlicensed car... like a beat-up junkyard car, patched-together from old vehicle parts. Fits the name and the character, but no licensing needed!

Skowl wrote:Transformers Movie director Michael was present, alongside other creators who worked on the film, during a VFX Technology presentation on the Sony Movie lot. Michael Bay spoke about the upcoming Transformers Movie sequel, and how the film was prepared in case of a prolonged writers strike (which will now no longer be a cause of delay for the film, as the strike ended last night).

Of note is Bay making mention of the writers returning, and a story that will see deeper robot characters as well as a "geriatric robot"

Read about the event on Variety editor Anne Thompson's detailed blog post by clicking here.


I heard this news about 2 weeks ago but I didnt believe it because the person that told me could not give me a source.

Guess he was right.

Weapon: Photon Eliminator Rifle
This kinda reminds me of Spotlight: Kup. Though I suppsoe he technically had slipped into psychosis and dementia as opposed to being geriatric.

it sounds like Kup, true...but my money is it still being an all new TF, made for the movie.

I'm still getting used to the fact that the 1986 movie takes place 3 years in the past now.

Vector Prime is way too complicated to put in TF2. Besides, this ain't Transformers Cybertron, so Vector would be ruled out.

I'm betting on Kup or Alpha Trion. However, Alpha is not too major as a character, so probably Kup.

Anyhow, isn't Ironhide old enough?

Not to sound argumentative but this isint G1 Transformers ether so I dont see how Vector Prime being a TF Cybertron character rules him out.

And being a complicated character wouldnt be much of an obstacle for Bay and his writters since they didnt write any "character" into the bots and cons of the first film.

That being said I would hate it if they chose Vector.I was not a fan of Cybertron and I think theres loads of other characters that are more deserving.

Again I'm not trying to be rude but why in hells name would they bring "animated Ratchet" into the movie universe when they already have a Ratchet in the story????

What would be the sense of including a 2nd Ratchet into the same story????

As for a "similar, re-imagined character"?????Any number of characters could be re-written as an older one, Prowl,Wheeljack ext....but would the fans except it???

Oops, my bad. No need to be angry mind. But since when has Bay cared about what the fans think?
