It's a little lacking in finesse for a Hound template and I agree Hound should manifest as a military vehicle- Autobot landmine was a perfect chance for that (but Spielberg suggested a five-versus-six-or-seven ratio which I feel contributed to the heart of the Movies' 'missing population and redesigned existing population' problems). Bay would certainly have been exposed to talk about Cliffjumper all these years since his star is Bumblebee, so it could easily be him,tho the wheels would make it too heavy to jump much in the way of cliffs,the look still fits cliffjumpers g1 attitude.I do not have enough faith in the movie creators to believe this is another new Autobot arrival, but considering all suspected/known decepticons in the Chicago fight so far are either in bot mode or toting weapons in public, whereas the Jeep is not(Yet), it may just be an Autobot...
Superficially fitting Autobot names: Brawn,Gears,Trailbreaker/Blazer,Pathfinder,Wheeljack,Mudflap,Swerve,Tracks,Warpath,any number of G2 names,Rhinox,Rattrap.
In terms of Decepticon status, could it be somebody linked to Wheelie somehow?
Superficially fitting Decepticon names: Crumplezone,Swindle/Rollbar,Bonecrusher(again),Bruticus,Lugnut,Rumble,Breakdown...
In terms of third faction mecha it could be an innocently bystanding or parked vehicle hijacked (or hotwired) by someone like Simmons to run over a Decepticon for comic relief,simple cannon/explosion fodder,some kind of Autobot hating (and even Decepticon welcoming) human gang vehicle...
Remember, some Autobots are seen in Chicago photos but are missing from known chase footage so an Autobot group could be working on an objective somewhere in Chicago whilst the others defend the perimeter,run interference or race to provide backup.We have to study filming yet to be done to work out which vehicles appear as what groups since future filming will deal with pre ending scenes.I would be quite happy if this jeep turned out to be a newcomer (scientist with wheels counting as whacky earthling-tech gizmos?) helping the theorised mission group, but for now I suspect it will be a mid-battle powerup by Mudflap.
"Everyone has a hobby.Even people who say they don't still have one under another name.If we're sick,injured, we still go to it and get down to see how it is.If it needs something, we bring it,make sure the attention is perfect.It exercises our care and protection and gives us back philosophies.It's a living thing to us,and is the most perfect way to teach a young person how to be towards a living thing. It's something that should never be taken away."
