That is not totally out of the question, sadly.

And why do we need 4 shots of the same vehicle from the same distance and angle? 1 is enough.

We news what images we get. Sometimes the images are repeated, and the person newsing is tired and didn't catch that they were effectively the same.

It's a Fiat, not an MG. Italian, not British.

A few more pictures I was able to snap. Didn't have my camera on me unfortunately (went right from work) and they were not letting people get much closer because these trucks were all parked at a local business that they were utilizing.

In one of the previous shots, you can see them loading up a second Crosshairs into a car carrier. I had just pulled up as they were loading Bumblebee in (bee on the lower deck and Crosshairs on the top deck).

Second crosshairs hiding behind the trucking company's garage:

Thought about it and I feel like my only grievance with the Hot Rod design is the minimal use of red and lack of use of yellow. Kinda the trademark of the character I feel. My issue is just with the coloration though. I just hope the characterization isn't like how he became in the original cartoon with the whole "lol, I destroyed a planet. Oh well! I'm still unsure of myself!" mindset he had. Simultaneously I hope he isn't shoe-horned in as a replacement for Optimus either, but I doubt that will happen again myself.

Drift is a new Mercedes.

Hot Rod appears to be a Lamborghini or something else (the tiny badge on the chest). Same colors though...

Oh, I thought there was only 1 vehicle of that color. If there are 2 different ones now, it'll be fun to keep up with

And I now see why the movies stick with realistic colors and not use the G1 colors.


Just looks cheesy and dumb it's good work but it would not work in a movie.

Like I said it does look great not saying it's bad.


Just saying it might not look great onscreen in those colors in the same vein as how red used to be an awful color for filming things which was actually why they gave Prime flames back in 2007.

I do like the new colors on him
