When the new official Transformers Movie video game site, www.transformersgame.com, was launched there was a poll asking fans to help name two of the drones that would be in the game. Our own Apeface has informed us that the results are in. The Cement Truck and Forklift drones have been named! Here are the results:

Cement Truck= Mixmaster
Forklift= Scrapper

Check the results out for yourself at the official game website, www.transformersgame.com.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Mixmaster's design was pretty nice. If they make a toy of it I might actually get it.

Bah. Mixmaster is more for a character like Jazz or Blaster who have a sort of DJ/Hip Hop edge to them, not some drone cement truck.

Oh well.

Well I voted Quickmix and Erector but I wanted to my choise to mix master because a robot called Quickmix in Transformers: Cybertron who was a main character so I didn't want to that name for a lesser character.

Well, these are both Constructicon names from G1, so the public voted overwhelmingly in favor of them.

Mixmaster? Hell yeah!
I voted for the other dude to be named 'Erector.' I know a lot of you did too!

Should have gone old school Gobots and called the forklift "Spoons"

Nice. Some constructicons live again!
I'm not so sure about Scrapper, but Mixmaster is dead on.

I never noticed the forklift guy before! He's pretty cool, a really unique idea for an alt mode. The names fit perfectly too.

There better eventually be toys of these two guys... I really need a cute little forklift TF in my collection.

Is it me or does it look like the drones have two different heads? In some angles it looks like the have eyes and a faceplate like Prime or Soundwave, but on the head-on pics they have that big-eye lens face that we've seen on Swindle...

Am I the only one who sees this?

Also, I like the way these look and hope they get toys too.

I got one of them! I wanted Grapple for the fork lift. I thought having one con and one bot would've been cool. Though, this is still good! :)

No I noticed it too. I have no explanation for that. Maybe they're weird like that.

As for the names: Mixmaster-- yes! Erector-- I see how they could call him that, thought I voted for Scoop :P
