This may have been covered already and I missed it but did anyone notice the autobot logo on the side of the plane that Sam and the goverment women were in ? When I saw that Initially thougth that might have been what there were going to use as silverbold since he was rumored to be in the movie....Just a thought.

Yes, its been discused before. people have speculated that the plane in the hanger might have been silverbolt at some point, but i guess only Bay and Co. will know for sure.

On a side note, i believe the number on the side of the plane read..
"4500X". The same numbers that Blackout had in his Helicopter mode in the first movie.

I noticed and made a fan-character

It also had the NEST logos on it, along with the aforementioned Blackout numbers (I think they may have added a letter or number, though). IIRC, that's Bay's own private jet.

Like the Decepticon bank truck, I can't help but wonder if the humans declared their allegiance to a particular side and put the insignia on their own, non-transforming vehicles to show it, as opposed to the machines being robots in disguise.
Regardless, I hope Hasbro gives us a bank truck Con and private jet Bot down the road.

Yea I was wondering that also now that you mention it (about the bank truck) was there any rumor to who that was ?

I recall talk of Swindle, Payload (the 2007 bank truck Con), and even Soundwave, though I think those were mere speculation.

Speaking of Payload, I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro simply redecos him as the DotM bank truck. That mold never got reused.
