The very end of the last TV spot showed Grimlock snapping someone in half with his jaws. Not sure who, it was just a mess of parts and green fluid. (Made me think it was Crosshairs for a second, but that wouldn't make sense.)

I wish Bee would keep that '69 Camaro alt mode. Looks so much better than the new one.

I'm pretty sure that's just a Vehicon.

The Chevy Trax bots aren't Vehicons.

This is an AOE Vehicon:

So are the Traxes

Those Vehicons are not even in the movie.

I'm pretty sure this thread is supposed to be (relatively) spoiler-free.

I may be wrong, but wasn't it said that those guys weren't going to be in the movie?

Why do you think its spoiled up?

That's what I'm trying to say. The guys we know to be the AOE Vehicons aren't in the movie.

Unless the movie decides to call the Trax dudes Vehicons as well (which we won't know about either way until the 27th).

But they are Vehicons it does not even need to be confirmed.


They look like Vehicons too so why the hell would they not be Vehicons?

There is no one set design that automatically pegs down something as being a Vehicon. In the entire history of the brand, there have been six different things given the name of "Vehicon", and of those six, one of them had at least 12 completely different designs, another had at least 7 designs, and two of the others had no designs at all. And there's also been the differences in designs between toys and fiction. So, in the end, there have been at least 30 different designs for things that have been called a Vehicon. And of those 30 designs, not a one looks like an inspiration for the Chevy Trax bots.

Well, the fact that you're talking about a character's death when most of us haven't seen the movie yet, for one thing.

And also wasn't there a fraction called the vehicons in beast machines that like consists of thrust, strika , jet storm , obsidian, and some others

That's already accounted for above.

What else would they be called?


Until someone from the movie says what they are everyone is going with Vehicons.

mirageandjazz1197 wrote:What else would they be called?

Any number of other things? Something as simple as "Drones", "Droids", "Automatons", etc.? Who says they even have to be called anything?

mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Until someone from the movie says what they are everyone is going with Vehicons.

Spreading hearsay, then.

Wouldn't it be logical to wait until the movie comes? Just saying, beats continuous argument for something that very VERY select few have seen and won't be out for a few days.

Who is "everyone?" Besides you, I haven't read or heard anyone else refer to them as Vehicons.

Also, here's the Weekend Warrior prediction for AoE from ComingSoon:

Where the hell have you been?


Maybe not on Seibertron but that's what everyone on Tfw2005 and YouTube are calling them.


They were not called anything in the movie unless i missed it. (i saw an early screening so i do know what happens i just dont remember every line)

Hello!

Quick reminder to all users who HAVE seen the movie already: please keep ALL spoilers in the spoiler-friendly thread right here

Any other message containing material from the movie will be edited from this thread.

Thanks!

You do realize that both of those sites have less-than-admirable reputations, much less are either them considered to be official sources.

YouTube is especially vicious and notorious to the point that no one should every regard its comment sections as anything reliable.

Agreed with youtube


But Tfw2005?

They are generally a lot better then this site in fact when i discovered it i left this site for awhile but then i was banned for reasons i dont even know i pretty sure i pissed off a mod though before i was so that might be it.


In fact they say the same thing about you guys.

Still, unless the Vehicon term was given by someone official posting on either site (Bob Orci, for instance, has posted on TFW a few times), neither site is regarded as an official source.

It's like how back before DOTM premiered everyone was calling Sentinel Prime "Old Yellow" (due to his being colored yellow/gold in the very first teaser trailer). No one knew who he was, but a name was given to him in the meantime.

The difference this time, however, being that anyone could see the casual use of the term "Vehicon" being tossed around to refer to the Chevy Traxes and mistakenly believe that term to be the official name of the Chevy Traxes, when such isn't known to be the case. A name like "Old Yellow" is obvious to be a fanmade nickname at first glance, while the name "Vehicon" feel real enough to not be perceived as a simple nickname.

Gee, thanks. >:oP
