Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Sabrblade wrote:Who may or may not be a massive character in the movie. You're assuming things based on the name alone, yet previous films have shown that a big name doesn't always make the character a big deal in their movie. For instance, Shockwave is a huge name, yet he was barely in DOTM. Grimlock, too, is a big name, yet he played no big role in AOE until its final 20 minutes out of what was almost a 3 hour movie, and said role was little more than being Optimus's fire-breathing horse.SlyTF1 wrote:Burn wrote:SlyTF1 wrote:This is huge.
No, it's just another character reveal.
Of a massive character in Transformers lore.
We needn't have to get too excited about this reveal just yet until we find out more about what kind of role he'll play in the movie. For all we know, he could be a double agent who tries to assassinate Optimus for the Decepticons, or he could be a mere comic relief foil for the more main characters to play off of, or he could even only have a cameo appearance at the film's ending meant to build up hype for the sixth movie. Or he could even just be killed off shortly after his introduction just the shock the audience.
We simply don't know anything about him at this point, so there's not much to go on for now besides his name since he could have had any name with that design and still be the same character anyway. And with the films' history of using familiar names for different characters, it's anyone's guess as to whether or not he'll have any real importance to the film's story or if he'll be anything like the typical Hot Rod character type (beyond the rudimentary details we are given by this image).

I could ask yourself the same question, frankly.Deadput wrote:Why does no one think logically about stuff like this like Jesus Christ.

Yes there is it's the inside of the car like engines and wires and such.

Because that worked so well for Sideswipe, Arcee, Jolt, Skids...

That... was a different time. If they're trying to do this whole cinematic universe thing now, it doesn't make sense that they would announce a major character like this to just to do nothing with him.

For someone who claims to be open-minded about the possibilities for the movies, you're not really being very open-minded about these possibilities, regardless or whether they will or won't happen.

How do you already know that he's a major character? By his name? Again, you're assuming things without knowing anything about what role he'll play in the movie.SlyTF1 wrote:JazZeke wrote:SlyTF1 wrote:I don't care what his role is.

Ah, so you admit that it is possible that he could be killed off. Good.Deadput wrote:You said kill them off as they are introduced not at the end of the movie long after they were introduced as in what happened to cliffjumper in prime.
They won't do that to hot rod they will probably wait until at least the end of the film.
Stupid to you or not, speculation is all we have to go on at this point. Otherwise, what's the point in even discussing this TLK Hot Rod news if we can't speculate about anything?Deadput wrote:I am open minded for giving things a chance not for stupid unlikely speculation and if I'm not so what I'm human we tend to be short sighted and hypocritical welcome to earth.

That was concept art that came after the movie using a code name like how megatron was called cyclonus so people would be misinformed if it got leaked.
The official news calls him hot rod this is the same thing with Hound last time.
I can see that.Deadput wrote:I'm not speculating
