This may have been covered already and I missed it but did anyone notice the autobot logo on the side of the plane that Sam and the goverment women were in ? When I saw that Initially thougth that might have been what there were going to use as silverbold since he was rumored to be in the movie....Just a thought.

Yes, its been discused before. people have speculated that the plane in the hanger might have been silverbolt at some point, but i guess only Bay and Co. will know for sure.
On a side note, i believe the number on the side of the plane read..
"4500X". The same numbers that Blackout had in his Helicopter mode in the first movie.

Ohhh ok ....Thank you for the clarification I wasnt sure. thats pretty cool about the 4500x refrence

I noticed and made a fan-character


It also had the NEST logos on it, along with the aforementioned Blackout numbers (I think they may have added a letter or number, though). IIRC, that's Bay's own private jet.

Like the Decepticon bank truck, I can't help but wonder if the humans declared their allegiance to a particular side and put the insignia on their own, non-transforming vehicles to show it, as opposed to the machines being robots in disguise.
Regardless, I hope Hasbro gives us a bank truck Con and private jet Bot down the road.

Yea I was wondering that also now that you mention it (about the bank truck) was there any rumor to who that was ?

I recall talk of Swindle, Payload (the 2007 bank truck Con), and even Soundwave, though I think those were mere speculation.

Speaking of Payload, I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro simply redecos him as the DotM bank truck. That mold never got reused.
