wasn't Ironhide old? And maybe Ratchet to a lesser extent?

[Wheeljack35]

Taking all bets:

Vector Prime or Kup.

Vector Prime?

This ain't freakin Cybertron

Try Alpha Trion on for size

[Fender Bender]

I say Brakedown/Breakdown, since Hasbro owns the trademark on that name and the younger audience will remember his character from TF: Cybertron.

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!

Think Roadkill from Twisted Metal...

Sorry Burn, I had trouble following what you meant?

Sure you did.

[ultra tron]

Well, I think eveybody might conclude this as a hint to the first new AUTOBOT character?

Kup or Alpha Trion

I might lean toward Alpha Trion on this one, he has a very good history and mystique to several good points that center around the transformers, and they did say "deeper" characters.

[i_amtrunks]

Sure you did.

No, seriously it confused me, I know you were having a dig at me, but I'm not sure for which reason.

[Brakethrough]

Hmm. This is interesting enough to be excited about, but just odd enough to be a red herring from Mr. Bay. Either way, the fire's lit again and I can't wait to see how the film develops.

All I can think of is Bay saying:

"Wouldn't it be cool if his muffler was like a colostomy bag?"

I don't care who the character is- because it will suck some how regardless.

But I digress. Remember that time when there was no movie- and the worst thing in TF-land either spoke in rhyme, or had the play value of a brick?

Look how high the TINO movie has set the bar. Ugly Toys. Terrible Movie. Moist Towelettes.

I hope it's Kup! He should land in a junkyard, and scan something like a '38 International pickup. And talk like Harvey Keitel. Then say " Kid, back in my day, we made Transformer movies where the humans only had three lines!"

[SoooTrypticon]

Almost forgot, quote from the article:

...

After The Rock, Armageddon, and Pearl Harbor, Bay is tight with the Pentagon and thinks nothing of picking up the phone to get them to reroute a C130 gunship with Seals in it for a few hours. "We pay for the fuel," he says. "The military looks at this as a recruiting effort. The jargon is real. I told them what was happening, and that's what they said. I shot it like a documentary."

...

Get 'em while they're young and dumb.

Maybe he thinks he's making the GI Joe movie?

Anyhow, just another notch in the "reasons to dislike the man and his work" stick.

I wonder how Parents, Hasbro, and artists woking on his film feel about that comment?

Do you want your kid's toys acting as commercials for the army?

Me, I never played with GI Joes. And Megatron was an EVIL gun/tank.
