I'll believe it about Payload when I see him in the movie. (that he is actually going to be in it) And if he's actually an armored car.

Bay just said that he CALLED the Ferarri Dreadbox. He said it isn't the official name, but thats what he calls it.

IMDB is very unreliable about upcoming movies, I remember they even used a fake story about Revenge of the Fallen as basis before the movie hit cinemas. It involved Scorponok and some mini-cons as I remember. So, take any info from there with a ton of salt.

Guys seriously, it's IMDB. Like Chaoslock said, it's not 100% reliable.
Take it with a grain of salt for now and only accept things as confirmed when you see the movie.

Rob a bank? I don't get it.

The Dreadbox rumor started from Michael Bay's interview with Colider. The writers all mixed it up. Michael was talking about the black SUVs. He said that they're D-cons and he calls them Dreadbox. But the writers come up with the story that the Ferrari is a D-con and is called Dreadbox. So don't worry guys the Ferrari is an Autobot which name still is unknown and the black SUVs are called "The Dreads" (at least for now).

Maybe they need to pay off some robo-loan sharks, or maybe there's a Macguffun un the vault... who can tell?

The Wreckers were made up just for DOTM, weren't they?

Well I thought I had, but then earlier I was looking at a list & didn't see them.
That wouldn't make sense if they were made up anyway.
Dumb question. (:

I refuse to accept the green one as RoadBuster, I know it's totally in the spirit of the movies for him to be so off but in an odd twist of fate I end up liking the G1 version more...
But of course, that doesn't change what's actually....real.

Personally I think the green Wrecker is Springer.

Hey guys, I'm brand new here.Just scoping the site out.
I'm a big Transformers fan growing up with the 80's cartoon.
Someone mentioned HotRod?
Come check out my Transformer animation on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG5Sg4DIKXUYeah, I hope he does make it in the next movie.
That'd be kick-ass!

It's a bunch of repair robots...I think. I only read the comic series, I never saw anything G1 with the Wreckers in it. Are they even in G1, because I hadn't heard of them before the comics.

You want to know about the Wreckers, go to the main source: the Teletraan I!

Also, for anyone interested in reading about them outside of a wiki entry, Last Stand of the Wreckers is a great place to start. First TF comic I ever read, and it still is an amazing read. Not an origin story by any means, but it shows them in all of their gritty, war-bound glory.

That's the series I was talking about. I only read like 2 issues, but I wanted to read the rest. It was awesome.

That Ferrari has to be Hot Rod or Cliffjumper (even though he's technically dead in the comics series).
I really hope it's Hot Rod.

I don't really like HotRod, he's not very smart. Though I don't think it could be anyone else, really. And I don't see him fitting into the Baymovie as Prime's prodigy-thing, either.

Thank you guys for The Wreckers lesson!
I've seen their names in a list, but I just didn't know which characters actually made up The Wreckers.

There's a rumor going around deviantArt that the Ferrari's name is Enzo.
