Oh, I'm dreaming. This isn't real at all, thank god.

I'm guessing Wheeljack's new name will be Astro.

I honestly think Michael Bay goes out of his way to take a dump on fans whenever he gets a chance.

"You want to see Omega Supereme in the next movie? Sure, I'll add him. He'll be six inches tall and he'll transform into a jar of applesauce. Take THAT, nerds!" *TUUUURD*

this is dumb

Yes, his name is Dino, and no, his name won't be mentioned in the movie at all, you'll be lucky if you see a glimpse of him.

Baaahahahahahaha!!! Totally made me laugh hard. It sounds like something he'd do.

I'd love to see Bryan Singer or someone with more subtlety take over the franchise. At least with X-Men, he respected the material and treated it with class.

His name is "Dino."

It's pronounced Dee-No.

Why Dino?

It's a homage to the son of Ferrari's founder. It was also the codename of the 458 while they were designing it.

So there you have it, Mirage is now Dino.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

f@#k Michael Bay.

I don't care if it's true. He bears no resemblance to Mirage anyway. If anything, he's a lot more like G1 Sideswipe, being an exotic car

This news has brought a little light into my life. I have been humming the Flintstones theme song since reading it.

You guys are missing out on a little bit of Fridge Brilliance here...

"Dino" is also the birth name (and nickname) of Dean Martin, who provided inspiration for the portrayal of the G1 cartoon Mirage. And, oh, yeah, Martin (along with Sammy Davis, Jr.) drove a red Ferrari in The Cannonball Run.

News Credits: 4 · Fri Jun 03, 2011 6:59 pm

So, Mirage is the drunk Autobot?

Fri Jun 03, 2011 7:17 pm

Well, not the drinking part... the voice and the airs of "high class" for the G1 character. (Though, does that make Optimus the Chairman of the Board then?)

10 bucks says Michael Bay and his cronies didn't put that much thought into it.

OK...1) You just managed to get me to buy into the fact that Dino MIGHT be an acceptable substitution with your very well reasoned explanation (not saying I'll call it Dino, you just happen to have the best reason for doing so if I were to call it that)...and 2) You do realize that you, me and maybe 15-20% of the other folks on here are the only ones who actually got all of the references without having to resort to a Wiki or going to IMDB for info.

Regardless of whatever info is flying around, and believe me I damn sure don't trust a single word that comes off of ShootForTheEdit, that car/'bot is Mirage. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look a thing like G1 Mirage. If folks haven't gotten past that by now they have no reason dealing with anything movie related AT ALL!! This is not the 1980's. The only thing I'm having issue with is that the Novel and Comic adaptations state what the characters are, the core info for the TF3 story/characters is already out there so there is no good reason, none at all, for making any changes in character names at this late point in the game other than for the simple fact that someone is trying to dick with us. I'm calling BULLSH** on EVERYTHING Nelson tries to foist on us at this late point in the game.
