Enjoy the two videos in which you can see Red Ferrari, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Ironhide and a completely new autobot in a chase.

So the rumor that Ironhide dies turns to be false (at least he makes it to the final battle).

The credit for the great find goes to TFW2005.

Our own Albershide shared some YouTube links with us. They show the Red Ferrari, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Ironhide and another new Autobot vehicle in a chase scene.

The new Autobot is a form of fire truck. Whether the emergency vehicle is Hot Spot, Inferno, Red Alert, Grapple or someone else, we will have to wait for more information before we can share that. Discuss your thoughts after viewing the links below.

The first video was posted on YouTube by user Theowise. The second by cswartz73.

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

NOW it's a RANGE!!
Sorry- I've been wishing for a HUGE inferno and Grapple setup since the Alternators first appeared.
I don't care if this is Inferno,Red Alert,Hot Spot or frikkin' Goldbug, I'm DANCING! :grin:

The footage looks like an assembly situation happening before the convoy to the final battle, and perhaps immediately after some type of side"quests" which stirred up a Hornets' nest.. I wonder what the premises represent? I see the Autobots arrive from different destinations, and Prime isn't with them, nor are "Q' (or "Cue", Maybe?),The twins,Jolt,the Bikes,Rollbar and the Nascars.Not Picking Knits off a dead horse,folks, just trying to pertain to everyone's interests.Keeping things relevant.
Yeah. looks like Ironhide makes it intact at least up to the final slugfest...

Lends credence to the possibility that the Autobots deploy in the final fight in at least two groups.Thank you for this awesome news!

*Sigh* Fire Truck....thank you, whoever was listening to my wishes all these years...black is a great touch up for the usual red...very war forged...lovin' it to bits!!

woah.. who is the big guy? knowing bay its magnus

by **Red 50** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:24 pm

Well, whoever it is, i believe that we shall find that out before the film's release.

by **CybertronHotShot** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:36 pm

My bets are Inferno or Pyro. :-B

gogo prime+fire tuck combiner a la RID prime+magnus

It's certainly big enough-maybe toss in primes trailer as combiner armor like the renderings we saw for rotf.

I'm loving the sheer size of the Rosenbauer! :shock:

Glad to see Ironhide in action. But now Ratchet's gone! (Amongst others) I don't know; if it isn't one it's the other! :lol:

You know, the fire truck character may be the owner of the blue-screen foot we've seen recently... :-?

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

My money is on Ultra Magnus...just a hunch. It would allow his robot mode to have red and blue highlights.

Ouch! That would make for a considerably large Optimus amalgamation toy for the kiddies to close the trilogy with. I like the combiners because of how they are explained in G1 and the Powerlinx saga but...in moderation...if they do combine this truck with Prime, I hope the standalone bot Mould doesn't suffer for it...

I'm betting Red Alert 'cuz Bay said he'll study various bits of TF lore for T3, and Red Alert stands out in Armada as a 2IC type who can polarize with both Ironhide and Jazz, personalitywise. Second bet: Inferno with a Hot Spot redeco down the line, maybe even a Grapple remould, especially if Bay and Hasbro talked about room for a big ground based bot between the Ratchet & Prime+Trailer categories!

I noticed in the footage that "Red" (Ferrari) and Sideswipe arrive from different directions but exit together.Assuming they're both warriors..I wonder what's up? Also noticed Bumblebee skids right out into the opposite lanes in order to cut the traffic flow.He really IS "Tough,like a Bulldog" as Bay once said.I like!

The Blue foot..It crossed my mind,too, but I thought it's still too big even for a jacked up Prime,so I said nothing.. I mean,maybe if Silverbolt links up with the Prime,Trailer and firetruck the size would start getting close, but the story goes overboard all over again...and a massive Decep still rocks Sams' office building at some point... and any rate...Jolt was needed to 'energise' Prime and Jetfires' remains.I alwas told myself he might have jacked a Format-Transforming virus into them, something akin to the Virus used by Frenzy in part one, which was implied to behave (or even to be!) a regular Cybertronian with a digitized form as an alt.mode.

the good money at this point leans more toward Magnus. I say its God Genrai just to mess peoples heads!

Hosehead anyone? :???:

Artfire?

That blue thing doesn´t have to be a foot, I would say if it was they´d make 2 to make it easier to represent walking, or a foot product from a combination (Would´ve be awesome :APPLAUSE:

) doesn´t have to be from prime, neither superion´s, silverbolt has to be an aerialbot? no...maybe this guy is silverbolt... :roll:

we´ll wait... I-)

SWEET

hehehe

i hope the decepticons get better personalities in this movie

by **zenosaurus_x** » Tue Aug 03, 2010 1:08 am

Fire Truck? Inferno maybe? I hope so...

News Credits: 24 · by **Albershide** » Tue Aug 03, 2010 1:11 am

As Seibertron.com posted earlier, this is Takara's version of Ultra Magnus:

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

by **zenosaurus_x** » Tue Aug 03, 2010 1:14 am

I'm kinda hoping Magnus isn't there, we kinda have IronHide already as the second bruiser type...
I do hope something with the vehicle of Animated UM appears, but as someone else so...I could make it into Magnus...

Huh, that's some weird logic there...
