We've had a lot of recent news surrounding the set. Some sly individual is snapping some great shots that are sure to get fans talking about who might be added as new characters and what the plot is...

So here's another rumor. We know the Decepticons may be adding another of their commanders to the lineup in some fashion, will the Autobots be doing the same?

View the pictures here and make your own guess as to who this might be, or is it just a simple background or human vehicle?
Let the debates begin!

Thanks to Wheeljack 35 for letting us know where to grab this, and his comment:

"I think its Prowl when my post was edited that was deleted"

ahhhhh sweet! It almost looks like Prowl's BinalTech self too.

Looks like Prowl to me.

A sensible non flashy alt mode for a logical autobot right?
AND it is a chevy, sooooo...I say Prowl!

Now where is that supercharged Corvette?

PROWL!!!

It'd be cruel of them to not make it Prowl.

Thanks Wheeljack35! I edited your post and made it into the news story.

I would be a very happy camper if it were indeed Prowl... :grin:

Somebody tell me what are the chances of THAT car just happening to turn up on or near a the TF2 set? Coincidence? I highly doubt it. It has to be Prowl. BUT on the other had...its far too similar to how Prowl looked in G1, not matching the theme of TF1.

I'd say its a easter egg cameo for BT prowl, but since its s Chevy car, its very possible it could be Prowl

barricade is back

THAT'S HENKEI PROWL!!! :grin:

It does look like Prowl. But it is too early to say whether it is him or not. It is very hard to determine what the symbol is by the front fender.

It looks too plain and toyish. I think it's just one of Bay's tricks. He did say that there would be fake scripts, robot designs, etc. leaked out. Sucker is sitting in plain sight

In my opinion, that car looks horrible. There's no way that could be a transformer....at least I hope not

Oh look, it's a Prowl Binaltech reference, much like the VW Bug in the original.

Seriously, it looks dead-on like the Binaltech toy. Does anyone really believe Michael "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! THIS IS MY MOVIE! I TELL OTHERS, EVEN HASBRO HOW ITS GUNNA GO DOWN! I PISS LUCKY DRAW TRANSFORMERS BETTER THAN ANY AND ALL OTHER TRANSFORMERS EVA!! ME! ME! ME!" Bay is going to take a pre-existing Transformers toy and use it in his TF sequel?

Not quite a dead-on look to the Binaltech toy. 4 door vs. 2 door car. Plus those are Chinese letterings instead of Japanese and too much white and not enough black for it be the BT toy.

I gave you credit to start, but the original source was anonymous from TFW. News crew is working on crediting the original sources for the information, although we really appreciate when you throw up stories that are news-- from you as the source or from another site.

I'll get your name in there.

Prowl anyone?

News Credits: 2 · Sat May 31, 2008 9:49 am

If it's not Prowl, than can you tell me the relevance of a Chinese Police Cruiser in Pennsylvania? Much appreciated. ;;)

News Credits: 2 · Sat May 31, 2008 9:51 am

Prowl's protoform lands in China, he needs to scan a car to not be noticed by Chinese fan bois, and flys/swims/hitches a ride on a car carrier to PA

Picky much? Fine, close enough.

Makes sense for a cop car, dunnit.

Most would never catch that, and depending on the location of the vehicle's use, could be Chinatown, no biggie.

Aaaaand? What did you expect? For them to build a life-size replica of a plastic two door police car? I mean come on, "too much white and not enough black"? #-o

Again, close enough.

Regardless, the whole point of the post was..

Man, now I remember why I quit posting on message boards. One single sentence taken far too literally focused on instead of the entire post, the message, the point.

Sheesh.

Because they are making part of a the movie in a chinatown type setting that is being created at this PA steelmill. Whether it is actually in China is anyone's guess, but I think the Chinese characters on the car lean more toward it being an actual Chinese city.

Its NOT Prowl...this is a base model 4cyl Malibu. Do you honestly think for a second GM/Chevrolet would have the base model become a Transformer? That's like making Ironhide a Sierra base worktruck. Come on now. If you saw a Bu' with special wheels and the LTZ trim then I'd be possibly excited at the thought. Deep breaths folks.

Sat May 31, 2008 10:35 am

it is prowl,but it is probably not.
it could just be some new character,like what they did with bonecrusher,frenzy,and barricade

I really want Prowl to be in TF2, but that is the ugliest car!

Prowl should be this:
