Like the title says, what are some of your favorite vehicles that you think would make awesome alt modes for the characters (whoever they may be) in the next Transformers movie?
Maybe you want to see new characters with some unique alt modes?
Maybe you have a favorite car or a dream car you'd like to see on the big screen?
Or perhaps characters already in the new "trilogy" with new modes?

Me too.
I remember Bay saying in a commentary that he wanted to do it for RoTF, but the studio wouldn't let him.

I'd love to see more jets. We just didn't get enough fighter planes in these movies. And sports cars. Like Ferraris.
(Yeah yeah, I have a thing for sleek and fast)

We did, they just weren't Transformers.
If more fighter planes were brought in, maybe as Skywarp and Thundercracker, then the involvement of the military might become prominent yet again.

And sports cars. Like Ferraris.(Yeah yeah, I have a thing for sleek and fast)

So does Michael Bay, you'll most likely get your wish.

It would be nice to se Thundercracker and Skywarp.... it really would. Skywarp alone would bring so much into it with his abilities.

yeah, well, I think it might be the only thing he and I agree on

I want to see a cybertronion alt mode. And more aircraft and more of a variety than just sport cars.

Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:55 am

I agree with previous post, we need a more Cybertronian alt-modes. I think that Cybertroniam Three-wheeler (Crumpelzone) or Six-wheeler (Strika) would be sweet. Also Galvatron should regain Cybertronian alt-mode, maybe two (Cybertroniam Jet & Tank), making him really similiar to Blitzwing and making reference to Transformers: Cybertron.

I don't agree with having more Cybertronian alt modes. If the next movie takes place somewhere other than Earth, then maybe I would change my opinion. Having Cybertronian alt modes while hanging around on Earth defeats the whole idea of "Robots In Disguise".

I think just as long as there's a valid reason for them to be stuck in Cybertronian mode either it be a defect in their T-cog or that they think they're above non Cybertron alt modes like how Movie Megatron was said to have that mindset in the first two movies before DOTM and in Transformers Prime I think it can work.

I want a Ferrari LaFerrari and a McLaren F1.

How about ANYTHING except more GM concept cars or trucks?
I am so sick of GM cars in these films. GMs suck and they cost way more to repair than the cost to buy a new one. Maybe we could get a movie in another 30 years with multiple brands of the cars. NOT every damned Autobot needs to be a GM. We get GMs or exotic 'no one could afford this' type of cars. Soundwave in Dark of the Moon comes to mind. Bad guy drives around in a $700,000 car so it MUST be a Decepticon, of course. Since they do most as GMs anyway, why couldn't Hot Rod / Rodimus be a real GM concept like the Stingray mark III from the 1990s? GM is backing these films so why not pull out the catalog of classic concepts that are stored away in the vaults? A Stingray Mk III would have been far better than the Italian supercar for Rodimus. :michaelbay:

Military Autobots. How we STILL haven't gotten the likes of Warpath or Powerglide I'll never know.

News Credits: 12 · Wed Oct 12, 2016 11:43 am

Some Russian jets like the MiG-21 would make fantastic Decepticons IMO. I say the MiG-21 as it's the quintessential "bad guy" jet and it looks awesome.

As with Noideaforaname I'd like to see some proper military Autobots. Warpath is an obvious one, but how about Rook as an armoured car?

Warpath already was a part of Movieverse, he used to stop Megatron in DOTM prequel, yet he failed and was killed.

However, I agree that we need Transformers with alt modes based on Military vehicles. This cars7trucks theme is overused already.

Nissan Zs or GTRs as ninjas.

Sun Jan 01, 2017 4:36 pm

If we can have Russian jets, why don't use T-92 as alt-mode for one of Decepticons

?

Mon Jan 23, 2017 9:39 am

If Soundwave comes back because movie, I'd like to see him as something a bit more Soundwave-y, something like a surveillance van or a drone. Something that vaguely has something to do with his position as communications officer.
