Dark of the Moon The Official Transformers 3 News And Speculation Thread

[Ipodman]

So 3 different modes for Grimlock? The fire truck transforms into Grimlock in Dinosaur mode & then Grimlock in Dinosaur mode transforms into a regular looking transformer bot? It will be strange if things happen that way since Grimlock's alt mode has always been a dinosaur & then he changes into a regular looking transformer bot.

Something like that. Dinobots wasnt in the second movie because the writers didnt like the idea of a robot dinosaur. Now with those two writers gone, I would expect at least Grimlock to make an appearance

 

[SpiderByte]

Sorry, Ipodman, but the fire truck being Grimlock is a long, looooooooong stretch.

 

[Ipodman]

If Arcee can look like that... I doubt Grimlock in firetruck mode is a impossibility

 

[SpiderByte]

Arcee was actually said to be a motorbike in the first film, so we knew she would be in the second. But Grimlock hasn't even been rumored to be in the film, and there's no evidence suggesting he will be. Arcee was already slated as a motorbike.

 

[Avangarde]

That old truck has peeked my curiosity, there is a chance that "that" could be Grimlock. If only we could see a insignia on it, it could almost pass for Onslaught from the Combaticons.

 

[SpiderByte]

That is much more likely to be Grimlock, with the age on it.

Wait...age....

We should be thinking age-wise, but mostly we've been thinking color-wise. The thing is, we're guessing based on color and model, but, let's face it, with Bay, that's not easy.

 

[Ipodman]

I used to think the firetruck was Ultra magnus.

Now im guessing the OLD truck is ultra magnus... and the fire truck is Grimlock

 

[SpiderByte]

The thing is, there's no particular reason to think it would be Grimlock.

Technically, that's not true.

Grimlock has been a tank, steam shovel, raptor, mustang, etc.

Anyways, the reason the black/red firetruck remains a possibility is because Nelson says he hopes the name of that bot stays hidden until the release date, as it'll cause as much fan uproar as flames on Optimus did back in the day.

It's possible that there's some fervent Ultra Magnus fans that will react that way, but Grimlock does seem to be the only other character that fits that.

Keep in mind, the firetruck will be bigger than Optimus, which would fit Grimlock as well.

Dunno if you guys have seen this:

That 'new vehicle' on set might look, uh...a bit familiar to some of you...


Question is: Is this the return of Mixmaster, or just a cheap-out on Paramount's behalf?

 

[sabetoonth]

Being theyve basically rebuilt the truck, if it was the same one, it might have been cheaper to jsut buy a new truck

 

[Ipodman]

Most of the decepticons are just gonna be random things that die very easily...

 

[Octoberist]

I pray that Optimus Prime has more screentime with his faceshield on.

 

[Avengers-Report]

Exactly, random things that we will never hear speak or learn anything about.

 

[Chris B]

I'm hoping we get the Combaticons/Bruticus in this. I'm kinda optimistic about their chances since that armored fuel truck would fit Onslaught pretty good, as would that armored bank truck for Swindle. Just reuse Blackout/Grindor's CGI model for Vortex, Brawl's for the tank though they'd have to change his name for obvious reasons, and change Blast-Off into a jet fighter.

I found it hilarious how most of the Decepticons sounded dumb as dirt, except for the main ones.

 

[Ipodman]

The only decepticons that audiences remember are probably Megatron, Fallen, and the Devastator.

The third movie will introduce... Shockwave, Soundwave (to a certain extent, we see him standing beside Shockwave), and hopefully a easier to recognise Starscream!

Lol
I'm sure that somewhere inside the ILM offices , some animators are banging their heads on their desks pissed off they need to create a photoreal rusted decepticon model . As if their workload isn't heavy enough

 

[8atman]

Personally I always thought if they brought Ultra Magnus in it should be a firetruck but looking at the color scheme of the truck my vote is that its Grimlock.

Some make moves, we make movies. No Photoshop tweeks here. Our very own JB Marshall was on set of Michael Bay’s Transformers III with actor LESTER SPEIGHT (Norbit, Gears of War) filming in Chi-town.

So.. what are YOU going to do tomorrow?

Something tells me this will be right up there with the prema-white debates.

 

[Chris B]

I don't believe it. If that's the route they're going, I don't know why it would be some random soldier and not Lennox or Epps.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

An autobot needs to take care of that business.

 

[protocida]

Hardcore Eddie is already my favorite character.

 

[terry78]

The only way those instances should happen is if there is a team effort by Autobots and military.
