That actually is a GOOD idea. Smooth, sleek, fast looking. Absolutely a possibility.

Personally I like that aspect of the movies. Let's face it, it allows for MUCH more speed. How many inventions do humans have that put wheels on their feet, and what does it do for their speed? Rollerskates, blades, scooters, cars, Segways, skateboards, etc. We're more faster and maneuverable with wheels on our feet...why not robots?

Yeah, Sideswipe was a big help in the desert with sand dunes. It's only functional in certain environments. Also, it's ugly as all hell with the chicken legs.

Prime: "Let's all climb the pyramid and stop The Fallen!. Well, everyone except Sideswipe.

That's funny.
When I first heard this, and I know I'm late to the table here, my first thought was Wheeljack, based solely on the 'Italia' part of the name.
While that may be idiotic, I agree with who ever said that in the Bayverse, this will clearly be Trailbreaker or Skywarp.
But really, Wheeljack.

I read on TFwiki that there will be a new Autobot: Silverbolt. Wouldn't THAT be cool?
(look at the attachment)

That looks really good Side-swing. :APPLAUSE:

I could defenatly see that working for Silver bolt.
But if he does stay red, then htrod would be my guess. others have meantioned possibly wheel Jack, but you can't have wheel jack without flames. And flames on a ferrari just don't work.

With Micheal Bay talking about going to more development of the characters in the third movie, I think This will end up being Hot Rod, and possibly by the end of the movie, Rodimus Prime.

Wheeljack would work, as could Blurr. I think Hot Rod wound be a bad choice since we wouldn't be getting Hot Rod that most of us would like. I just hope we can have more time to see this guy and actually hear him speak.

I gave up half way through the hub hub over the first Transformers trying to guess who was what and why.

Firstly, that is a stunning machine. I'd say the consenus might be correct with Hot Rod, though Tracks might be a cool idea.

Or perhaps Smokescreen if they changed the paintjob, Bay has shown in the previous two films that he's not too bothered about the orginal alt. modes for these bots. Mind you, the environmentalists might pitch a fit if Smokescreen did what he does. Then again, what if Bay is branching out into comics, could this end up a Drift.

Of course, if Bay is smoking something or recieves a head injury, this could end up as Wheelie.

It is a modern version concept car of the Lancia Stratos by a company called "Fenomenon."

You made my day. :shock:

Anyhow, I think the financial problems GM has been having are the main reason why GM is no longer sole supplier of the Transformers car park. I also think GM no longer wants / is able to financially back its demands over the cars chosen for the movie. With the success of the first two movies, Michael Bay probably has car makers at his feet, begging (and paying) to have their latest car model shown in the new TF movie. I'd say Bay is now the one to call the shots, instead of depending on what GM is willing to present. For example, if GM is not willing to pay more than $50 million for brand exclusivity, but three other manufacturers are all willing to pay $20 million each for non-exclusive car exposure, I'd know which choice I'd choose...

So yes, I do agree that there is a chance GM is no longer the dominant brand associated with TF's.

Except so far each movie has had one model featured that wasn't a GM. Barricade was a Saleen S281 and Sideways was an Audi R8. This fits the previous movies direction.

I'm not going to lie. I'm really hoping for Hot Rod.

Was only considering actual cars.

I dug this up on purpose. The pilot post indicates that, in Bays own words, the Ferrari is an Autobot.
Was it misinformation then, or is it now?
Or has 'Con' become a new word for 'Autobot' as 'Devastator' is for 'Brawl'?

News Credits: 22 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:39 am

I think it's misdirection now. The Ferrari will be an Autobot. Though I was wrong about Sentinel Prime...

Acording to Transformers Blog spot, it was incorrect info and the Ferrari will in fact be an Auotbot. Aparrently the reporter took some photos without pieced them toeghter with rumors and speculation without any confirmation. So it seems this isn't Bay or the production company giving out any misinformation. But the reporter not doing propper follow ups.

Errh...

This is so confusing.

Under these circumstances and conditions I might have something of which you may refer to as "Simple brain", not "Grimlocks brain"
