Ironhide
Ratchet
Sideswipe
Topspin
Roadbuster
Leadfoot
Silverbolt
Sentinel Prime
Wheelie
Dreadbox

Shockwave
Megatron
Starscream
Soundwave
Crankcase
Crankcase's twin
Armored Banker Truck "Payload"
Desert Brawl
Long Haul
Sideways
Laserbeak
Worm/Snake Things

Dropped from the Cast:
The twins: recently dropped from final cut
Wheelie's older brother: the big mosnter truck won't be making an appearance
Ultra Magnus: the white semi we saw on set was never confirmed to be him
Wheeljack: The Mercedes-Benz is actually Carly's car

Unknown:
Barricade: will my favorite police 'con return to the fight?
Jolt?
Blitzwing?


Noticing a pattern that they dropped Autobots and not Decepticons?

I thought this was the face of the mercedes car....





I know some call him einstein bot, but I call him Dr. Brown-Bot

Where is the source that says the Mercedes-Benz (cought)Wheeljack(cough) was dropped from the cast? I haven't heard this. I think you may have misunderstood. There is a silver Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG that has been confirmed to be Carly's car and not a transformer. The blue E550 "EinsteinBot" sedan has been confirmed to be an Autobot.

For the tenth time the Ferrari's name is NOT DREADBOX. It is unknown at this time.

Where is the source that confirms the white-and-blue-truck is not a transformer or was dropped from the cast? Just because roles haven't been confirmed yet doesn't mean they're not in the movie.

I'm still not totally convinced on the twins, but we'll see when the movie is out.

Barricade will most likely not appear unless he has an all-CGI vehicle mode, which I find unlikely. His toy versions are just in demand.

Jolt will probably not appear either. I heard his vehicle was supposed to appear at a filming site, but he never showed up anywhere. I think it's safe to say he's not going to appear either. They're just making an action figure like Barricade.

I never said anything about Jolt. I would for him to appear but that's not going to happen. Like I said, I'm SPECULATING. And I KNOW the Ferrari's not called Dreadbox, I'm just using it as an identification for now! I'm not sure about Wheeljack; all I know is the Mercedes-Benz is Carly's car. Maybe she buys it and it turns out to be Wheeljack? I don't know.

Well, you just said "here's the cast as of February 2011" so it sounded like you were stating everything as a fact and not speculation (to me at least), and it seemed misleading in my opinion. I was just trying to clarify my friend.
Jolt: I was just reinforcing that it was more unlikely that Jolt would appear since you put him in "unknown".
As for the Mercedes: there are two Mercedes that were involved in filming. One was a silver SLS AMG that has been confirmed to be Carly's car, the other was a blue customised E550 sedan that has been confimred to be an Autobot, who Bay and his team refer to as "Q", which is most likely just a codename like "Dreadbox".

By the way, I heard a while back something about a black Dodge Charger SRT-8 with a Decepticon symbol instead of a Ram emblem that was spotted on a filming site (I forget where). Does anyone know anything else about this?
