What bad ass GM car didn't make it into the movie?
The Corvette.
Guess what, looks like we'll get him. I'm looking forward to it as well. That is going to be so bad ass.

maybe the will give it to Hot shot, or modify it into a police car if prowl is in the sequel

It doesnt have to be a transformer though, all the cadillacs in the movie were just cars and trucks

What's the bet that they then take the Flames off him?

I can think of about 15 other cars that have "cooler sounding" names that would probably get the nod ahead of Tracks. Remember that according to Michael Bay:
"I pick the cool names, thus Devastator and not Brawl"

Ugh, there's so many more characters that deserve to be put in the movies over Tracks. And many of them could get away with having a Corvette alternate mode.

I wouldn't mind having Tracks in the next movie.. A flying car would be awesome...

I would not mind it either. It would be different to have a flying car if they can accomplish the design.

Yup Tracks MUST be in the movie.If I could write laws I would make it one.

Wait, he said that?

Anyway, I don't count on Tracks being in the sequel. It's like asking for Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. They may have been cool in G1, but the name and character aren't as recognizable to casual fans.

Especially when they can give the Corvette alt to Prowl as a counter to Barricade, or Hot Rod.

Given Bay's penchant for making a "realistic" sci-fi movies, I don't think we'll be seeing any flying cars.

Who said Tracks had to fly?Prime lost his trailer after all.

I didn't really care for tracks all that much, his voice was really irritating in the g1 series, very superior sounding and all and the flying car aspect well, eh!

Tracks was camp but thats why we loved him :grin:

Yet he makes a movie about giant morphing robots from a dead planet who influenced our entire civilization. Not ot mention are aliens who have a striking resemblence to humans. Realistic, alright.

I don't think they could fit so much pompous jerk on screen at one time.

Kind of what I was getting at.

I think Tracks would be cool,Since Jazz died,It would be cool to have another person who would coniradict Prime's orders and act like a smart ass.

and cars that transform into 20 foot tall robots IS realistic?
If they can do that, we can get a flying car
wonder if they'll keep him blue or if GM will make him yellow again.

Uh... Is there another way to imply sarcasm other than putting quotation marks around the word? My point is that in Sci-Fi movies nothing is beyond possibility. Hell I always bought into Prime's disappearing trailer. A flying car is easy to believe. I think Bay's idea of making Sci-Fi realistic is dumb.

Besides, I already boned that quote anyhow.
If you ask me, realism in Sci-Fi isn't just stupid, it's impossible. It's fiction for a reason.
