Seibertron movie sleuth, Albershide, has found another rumor about the upcoming third piece of the Transformers live action films that comes from a supposedly pretty reliable source according to some.

This rumor is probably one of the most far-fetched that we have heard so far. It involves the identity of the Mad Max, Death Race styled semi-truck that has been photographed on set, and a major character.

What's the rumor you might ask? Who it is supposed to be might surprise even the most enthusiastic movie fans.

So who is this monstrous new character? Highlight the spoiler below to get your fill, and then share your thoughts in the discussion.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER MEGATRON SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Take this with your 'winter in Michigan' sized amount of salt...

i was thinking for some reason or another, Ultra Magnus, or more plausible Nemesis Prime since he is grungy looking. But NEVER would have thought megatron and i really don't think so. As far as my memory serves, he has never been an actual semi truck. Which would definately be a wild one to assume.

Read this twice already; both on tfw2005 and the TLAMB...And whilst it would be cool, I'm still not buying it...Just doesn't seem right! The truck fits better with the 'Autobots Go Home' angle, because it seems like a human machine (if that makes sense)! It looks like something that doesn't (have to) transform, anyway!

Anyway, we'll see.

No way! Not Megs....I could see it being Wreck-gar. MAYBE, Magnus....but no way Megatron.

Pfft yeah right, like that's gonna be Megatron. For those who don't wanna get spoiled upon, I'm putting his name in the spoiler-block-thing.

Time for a counterargument!

Come to think of it, it would make some sense. At the end of ROTF, Megatron had his half his face blown off and his gun arm taken out, so it kinda makes sense that he was so badly damaged he had to get a new body. And, to top it off, it's an Earth truck-looking-thing, which means Optimus has some competition for king of the road (no Motormaster pun intended)! Way to go, big guy! :lol:

Wreck-gar yeah I agree with that, when I saw the picture i for some reason instantly thought Magnus though

which is weird.

i mean i guess. as long as they make him look good. i mean starscream looks good, prime, bumby. i really didnt think, and im hoping its just bs, but i realy didnt think that guy was gonna be megatron. like wow. i had hoped they would keep him mostly cybertronian, with some constructicon parts but yeah... not sure about post apocalyptic megatron.

Oh yeah I forgot Megatron got completely owned by Optimus lol awesome i need to see it again

They should've made him into a Grey prius XD LOL

j/k Would be awesome if he came back as Galvatron XD lol

or like something to that effect. Like he could come back as a huge badass fast moving tank.

I think he is Motormaster (also I think the armored cars are the stunticons).

We've already seen the sunticons, so why is it so hard to believe this would be Motormaster? I wouldn't be disappointed if Menasor made an appearance.

I immediately thought Onslaught. Maybe Motormaster. Although that is probably just wishful thinking. That probably is Megatron, but I don't think that alt mode fits.

Already been somewhat revealed that those supposed Stunticons are actually called The Wreckers from Michael Bay's blog over a month back.

Do remember this is a RUMOR and not a fact by any means. NO one has come out and stated this that is willing to say how or who they know related to the movie.

HE could be the to be a ploy in why everyone is against the autobots at one point, being a long nosed semi to frame another long nosed semi. Yuh, differ colors and such.

Whoever it turns out to be, it could make a sweet leader class toy! Especially if the trailer was part of it.

I love the idea that it's Nemesis Prime. I always thought he'd make a great addition to the movies.

I totally agree with you. Megatron despises Earth vehicles. And wouldn't we have seen a new head in chicago? Megatron would have an Earth-styled head. He's still gonna bein his badass tank form; this news article is proof: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/megatron-now-confirmed-in-tf3/19385/
