I'm guessing that we first see Crosshairs and Hound on Lockdown's ship as prisoners, and we first see Drift there too, but he's one of Lockdown's allies. I'm guessing this because it's unlikely that any new Autobots would arrive on Earth after DOTM, so maybe Lockdown found Crosshairs and Hound on some other planets and captured them, with Drift being on his side.

But hey, this is just a theory, so who knows what'll happen?

That might be it.Sounds reasonable.

It makes sense, sadly I belive that new guys would just appeared from nowhere. It is Bayformers after all, who cares about plot...

I'm wondering that too. The thing that throws me off on that though is that Lockdown's reveal is presumably when he shoots Optimus with his gun-face, and a scene in the trailer shows Optimus talking to Cade with Hound & Crosshairs in the shot, and I'm pretty sure that that scene takes place before that. I do like the theory though, maybe we don't see Lockdown when Drift breaks the 'bots out of Lockdowns ship, then we see a full shot of him later in Texas where he captures Optimus and such. Who knows,we have less that a month till the movie releases!

(my only complaint is the lack of size difference between prime and Lockdown....they look about the same in the trailer )
