The Scorecard Review was on site in Chicago keeping everyone up to date on the latests goings on at the various Transformers 3 filming locations around the city. At one site, they had posted faces on posts, to indicate general locations of the robots during the scene. One of those faces is one that we haven't seen before. Judging only on the appearance, it is most likely an older robot, and from the expression possibly a thinker rather than a fighter. What do you think? Please share your theories here and see all of the Scorecard's images here.

What pretty hair ...

News Credits: 9 · by **Editor** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:34 pm

Percepter or Highbrow would be my guess.

Please do not let that be Wheeljack. Knowing Bay it well could be.

Primus? LoL the hair is kind of bay if you ask me

Please tell me this is Bay BS and not an actual bot head. That hair is beyond stupid looking.

What in Christ's name is that!? Usually, I've been supporting M Bay's TF movies, but I just cant do it this time! He has finally done it. Michael Bay has finally ruined Transformers. :shock:

Its the end! The end of man kind! Every one panic!!!!!!

Yeah i could kind of see that having a sort of german/russian accent, sorta like scalpel/the doctor from rotf, just reminds me of einstein, as for who it is, i don't know, but i hope it's a bot made for the movie such as skids and blackout rather then being wheeljack or perceptor. :-?

Edit: my god it even has a moustache!

Clearly this is a picture of Shockwave- can't you tell? It looks just like how Bay thinks he should look.

Kidding aside, I put my money on Silverbolt- because he's being voiced by an old guy, (James Avery).

So in a way I'm not kidding at all- because we all know how Silverbolt is an old man robot with spectacles and hair. Maybe he'll rip himself apart so Optimus can wear him as a dress, since there's precedent for that and all.

If he's an entirely new character, great waste of space, since there are plenty of real characters left to jam into this movie.

If it is a new bot, please be another made up one. Please do not demoralize a G1 character we love with that pathetic looking face.

Looks like Kabal from Mortal Kombat..

by **Runamok** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:02 pm

Look at the eyes....to me it looks like one of the twins with a mask on.

LOL!! It's Scrooge Mcduck!!! :roll:

Damn! I was hoping there would be no more old bots. I really wasn't a big fan of Jetfire, and that hair... :roll:

Oh well, maybe I'll like him, we'll see. But ugh...

by **magneticlehrak** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:13 pm

Probably the mercedes thats been sighted. We all know mercedes are old people cars...

Fiber Optic hair, eh? It could work if it's done well. I have no idea who or what he is, but it could work. Might even be an endearing character.

by **st4rscr34m** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:18 pm

Being as this is the Bayverse....I'm gonna go out on a limb and say either Wreck-Gar or SIlverbolt... the face reminds me of Ludwig Von Drake from Ducktales and other old Disney cartoons.

by **gantzrunner** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:20 pm

Given the previous statement about exploring the transformers mythos...I'm a little worried that it might be alpha trion...I mean if Jetfire aged badly imagine how messed up alpha trion must be. Or it could be silverbolt, since he could've be I dunno like jetfire's partner back in the day as seekers lol...and he would have silver hair! oh WOW! :BOOM:

I'm just trying to figure out why they've got that giant cardboard- uh, thing, on a stick in the first place. :???:

For the cast and crew. It's a point of reference to allow the actors to interact with the not yet rendered models for the scene.

In the first movie, they had to interact with things like a neon ping pong ball on the end of a stick. Some movies still use this method. At least these movies actually give the actor something to work with.

Still, that's gotta be a seriously difficult task. It's hard enough acting in front of the camera, but having an imaginary friend again after a decade of growing up? And doing it in front of a crowd and cameras? Yeah. Not a pleasant task, methinks.

by **Novawave** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:31 pm

I`m going to throw this out there and
suggest this might be Alphatrion.

Infact i`m surprised that only gantzrunner has suggest it so far.

why?

--> old bot.
--> Has some form of hair.

i can`t immediately think of anything else that qualifies off hand.
unless bay has done something different with another character again.

UNGH! Again with the gimpy faces!

News Credits: 104 · by **Cyber Bishop** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:46 pm

After reading some of the script I am thinking Perceptor or Wheeljack.

News Credits: 7 · by **Noideaforaname** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:47 pm

I kinda like him, if just because he's not overly complex. Perhaps he's a Seeker like Jetfire, though less crotchy.
He could very well be Wheeljack, though I'm not found of that idea. The fiber optic hair could light up like his G1 conterpart's "ears."

Whoever he is, I'm waiting to see the movie to say if I like him or not.

EDIT: He doesn't look that tall, around BB's size, though it may just be odd perspective.
