Sentinel Prime

Scourge

Wreck Gar

Let the speculation begin

Off topic a bit...that's a killer screenshot of Scourge and the Sweeps!

I said it elsewhere, but....

Alpha Trion.

Gonna have to share the same guess as GEEWUN, but adding another character; Vector Prime. :-B

So overall, we have Sentinel Prime, Alpha Trion, Scourge, Wreck-Gar, and Vector Prime. My vote's leaning more around either Sentinel or Alpha. It's hard to tell. :???:

We'll most likely learn more as the release date draws nearer. Guess that's why they call it a teaser.

About another 8 months of impatience left, boys! :grin:

It has to be Alpha Trion as ROTF stated all other primes were dead. Dead as in dead, not dead as in having a nap like this dude seems to be doing.

Just because one guy says they're all dead doesn't make it true. What if they where supposedly dead? Then what!?

Did we not see the 'last' of the primes fuse their bodies together to hide the matrix?!?!
And that even The fallen says that optimus is the last prime, I think he'd know after all the sitting about he did waiting for optimus to be killed off.
Or should I bay-verse this up and say that the canon changes in each movie haha

Its the robot form of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Yeah but ROTF happened wayy after the time frame set for this trailer.. so maybe he dies early on in a flashback or something.

I think he's either Sentinel Prime or The Last Autobot.
But to me, I shall probably always call him Autobot Mustache.

Also, on the Primes being dead, well at the clip the robot appears dead anyways, The Fallen could just think he was dead.

But the Prime's not really being dead contradicts Bay's statement about characters staying dead!! Are you saying we can't take him at his word?

/sarcasm

RAWR but this trailer took place before ROTF so he could just be alive; not dead or pretend dead or Michael Bay dead.

Welcome to the forums optimuswon by the way!

Mustache Bot looks oddly like Optimus, like he could be his "father." Strangely, he also vaguely reminds me of Starscream, specifically his body shape.

I was under the impression that the Fallen's betrayal/Primes fighting/sacrifice events took place long before the "current" events in ROTF, i.e. before the Pyramids were built. The moon landing was only 40 years before ROTF, after the Primes 'civil war'.

Thanks for the welcome!!

Could be a whole new character.

It wouldn't be the first time Bay has thrown a TF into a trailer and have us all wondering, only to find out it was a new creation, or a piss take of a current one.

I'm voting for Sentinel Prime based on the Marvel comic pic that has been posted.

Regarding Optimus supposedly being the last Prime the ship seen in the teaser was a derelict and it had to be devoid of any kind of energy since neither the Autobots where there ship was, Megatron on his journey or the Decepticons from the Nemesis on Mars detected the ship on their way to Earth. "Sentinel" was lost and presumed dead.

This is going to sound weird, but at first I thought it looked something like Soundwave. It wasn't the face though-it was the shoulder wing/pad things like the Bay-verse Soundwave had. Maybe it's Blaster?

News Credits: 2 · Wed Dec 08, 2010 10:27 pm

Also, I kinda hope he becomes the Ferrari bot Bay was talking about. Just so I can justify saying "Mustachio" with a bad Italian accent.

It's Bumblebee's father Yellowjacket.

The body does resemble Starscream somewhat, but going by the face, if the color was a bit different and the Fu Manchu wasn't there, he'd look like Prime. So my vote goes to Ultra Magnus.
