And with all the rumors that Magnus is in TF3, I think there is a big chance that the fire truck is him.

What? That's Takara's version of Ultra Magnus..

Uh-oh! My mistake. You are right. I edited my post.

it has to be prime but then again it could be two battles taking place at once with Prime and the stunticons battling and the autobots vs Shockwave

tfw2005 has a good pic of the fire truck. It has an Autobot symbol on the door.

As you can see, the Rosenbauer has the Autobot symbol beneath the cab window!

I have to agree. When I saw the fire truck, that was my first thought too...TFA version is very, very similar. Now, could we possibly see a RiD homage and have a Prime/Magnus combination?

Nelson says this isn't Inferno, Hot Spot or Pyro.
He says fans will faint when they see who this is.

Aaaalrighty, then....Fine! Here we go again...

Superficially Plausible Autobot names:
Red Alert, Slipstream, Hot Shot, Smokescreen, Bluestreak (the water is blue), Seaspray, Huffer, Pipes, Searchlight, Siren, Superion, Defensor, Wideload, Side Burn, Iceburg, Jetstorm, Ultra Magnus, Magnaboss, Omega Supreme, Sentinel Prime. (yes, I AM aware of how this sounds, thank you for your concern)

If Michael Bay was a little kid in the neighbourhood who came around to play he'd be the one who busted everyone elses' toys.

its not inferno,hot spot,or pyro 100% sure on that

If it's a fire engine it needs to be Inferno.

If Bay wanted Ultra Magnus he should've picked a trailer truck IMO.

Not necessarily. That may be his most famous mode, but I think the fire truck is fine if it is him. But I tend to be more open about these things than others.

Forum newbie here...so I've been around the transformers set these past 3 days here in Chicago. Tonight (8/4) they've been filming a scene with the new fire truck making a sharp left turn (with flashing emergency lights on) out onto van buren street with some of the troops following (seemingly retreating) and also pulling along some injured troops. Also it seems like optimus prime has been sitting in the same exact spot in the parking lot for the past 2 days. But yeah, word on the street around here is that the fire truck IS NOT ultra magnus, but someone else. That's all I'll say...

Great name BTW. I worked for the Blackhawks AHL affiliate in Rockford the last 7 seasons. Go Hawks!

My money then is on Hot Shot. They lost the trademark to Hot Spot and Pyro doesn't seem "Autobot" enough as it usually has a pretty negative connotation. Though...would be very interesting if it turned out to be Rodimus Prime...a Prime that had been tracking Shockwave for Millenia and finally caught up to him on Earth. COuld lead to conflicts between Optimus and Rodimus for leadership, etc. JUst a random idea in my drunken haze.

My bet is on Ultra Magnus

A member from the TFW2005 forum (jetcols) posted a new picture from the autobot parking lot in which you can clearly see a big missile carrier military truck.



Could this be a new autobot or may be this is the alt mode of the fire truck that they will use in Russia?

HELL YA!!!!! Maybe Bay and co. are listening!!!!

viewtopic.php?f=44&t=65816&p=1077519&hilit=Ultra+Magnus#p1077519

I know we don't have confermation on who this is, (or its role in the movie), but the alt modes are just getting better and better!

Again, great find Albershide! Keep'em com'in!

Just had a thought,..

Could this be the big rig that might be part of the Stunticons??? Could we have Menasor???

You worked with the IceHogs? Awesome! What did you do with them?

Btw...since it looks like the rumors are starting to spread around the web about who that fire truck is, I'll just state what I heard yesterday around the set: it isn't ultra magnus, nor hot rod, nor inferno. Its Rodimus Prime...and apparently he's Optimus Prime's father. I can't remember the story behind Rodimus but I don't remember him being Optimus' father in the cartoons. I heard this from 2 guys working in the parking lot and 2 guys who've been watching the filming all day.

Was an assistant trainer with the Hogs kaner...got to work with a lot of the players. I have many blackmail pictures..

I called it! Wooohoo! Rodimus Prime huh?

So is the missile truck just a prop or does he have the autobrand or Con brand?

I'm pretty sure the Military Truck is just a Military Truck...

I did see the missile truck in the parking lot yesterday but most of it was covered up with a tarp like in the picture above. Couldn't tell if there was an autobot symbol on it or not. I will say that I haven't seen the wreckers nor that decepticon armored bank car that was spotted in chicago back in july. I think the film crew is moving onto film in Gary, Indiana.

So Rodimus, Huh? As the Father of Optimus,no less.
I'm satisfied with that. Honestly wanted Red Alert for variety's sake, since Inferno got ruled out.Thought for a while it would be a further deconstruction of G1 Smokescreen. Glad it's a fitting character and glad to see the story IS sounding good. I could ELECT not to get used to it...but it's a great honor for the Rodimus character.After our complaints that characters have been defaced, dishonored, abandoned and whatever (except for a RARE few such as Bumblebee and Soundwave),this is perhaps a turning point.
Wonder which direction Hasbro will take with future Rodimuses..*LOL*...Hot Rod as Primes' son and Rodimus as Primes' father...i think it could turn out neat. Sentinel as the Grand-dad...
Poor old Jetfire will miss out on a "back in my day" campfire talk with Rodimus (who'd propably transform and put the fire out anyways)...but he's up in the big prop room in the sky with jolt, the Arcees and Jazz, looking down on us and talking about what alt. modes were like in the old days.

...wonder if they'll combine.Father and son.A new Prime tradition, maybe? Could get overused to death, of course, but if anyone manifests the 'till all are one' cosmic view it's the Primes...so combining would show they're on that path.

Priceless...

The military truck if I may play evil is the leader of Combaticons Onslaught and if the armored truck is Swindle we just might get to see Bruticus.

Which video's the Military Truck in? Forgive my laziness....
WOAH, SCROLLING UP! I NEVER KNEW OF THAT!

Here is a better view of the military truck.



Picture Jimmy88 (TFW2005).

And here are some more pics from sunday:
