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

[Crockett]

The current rumor floating around is that Soundwave will be disguised as Carly's Mercedes SLS. And it appears that he'll be in the climax battle.

Yeah that's possible but I hope not, I want him to have a big and kind of bulky structure so his alt mode should be a bit bigger than a Mercedes, not like a sleek and thin look he has in Transformers: Prime to give a recent example. In the third videogame tie-in his alt mode is a SUV so I hope that his alt mode is a SUV as well but if they manage to pull it off with his alt mode a Mercedes SLS then I wouldn't mind.

Yeah, I agree. I like the idea of him being disguised as Carly's car, but I'd also prefer something bigger. Since Mercedes is already allowing Bay to use their cars, I think they should've just made him an M-Class SUV, if that's the direction they're going in.

I have a theory as to why we have not had another trailer. I think that they have had another trailer ready as far as video goes but were waiting to get voice actors to be dubbed. I also would bet money that if I am right about this, with the recent news about Nimoy voicing Sentinel Prime, that the next trailer will not only have Sentinel Prime in it but he will have a small speaking part. I just feel they were waiting for a voice actor for one of the bots in the next trailer, be it Sentinel or Shockwave.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

It's about time that they announce who will voice Shockwave.

It looks like the Ferrari is Mirage:

[Dr Lee]

Is that head looking similar to the red head on a pole to anyone else??

 

[Crockett]

So the Ferrari is Mirage? Cool I guess.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Is that head looking similar to the red head on a pole to anyone else??

You mean this? Yeah, it does similar.

Nice to finally know who the Ferrari is.

 

[Crockett]

I wonder if how the toy looks like could be a reference to Mirage's cloaking ability, now if he have that in the actual movie remains to see but it'd be cool.

 

[Chris B]

I'll be pretty happy if Einsteinbot turns out to be Wheeljack as suspected as well. Mirage, Wheeljack, and Prowl have been the three Autobots that I've been hoping would show up for awhile. So I'm glad it looks like I'll be getting two out of three.

Could be. He also still has the ability in the 'Rising Storm' prequel comics as well. So its looking pretty likely at this point.

As much as I want Wheeljack in the movie, if that Q turns out to be Wheeljack I'd be a tad dissapointed that he looks like a robot version of Einstein, but eh, beggars can't be choosers.

Ah cool, that's the comic-book mini-series that's set before DotM right?

 

[Chris B]

Yep. Assuming that he does have it in the movie, it'll be interesting to see how they pull it off.

 

[Dr Lee]

One thing i've noticed in the prequel comics (Decided to read them this time out for some reason) is that...

Spoiler

Wheeljack sounds terribly english.... the little bit in the comics with him so far make him sound like an old fighter pilot... saying things like 'Ruddy' and the like....

Also Mirage seems in the two lines he had, that he's a bit battle hungry....and may have a visor

 

[Golgo-13]

Can see any of the links, but what color is the ferrari? If it's not Blue and it is Mirage, i'm going to be extremely disappointed. Mirage is my ATF Transformer. He's synonymous with Blue an White....

 

[Dr Lee]

You're going to be disappointed.... it's the typical Ferrari Red....

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I'm still not really looking forward to the movie yet and I am disappointed about Prime's trailer being a missed opportunity (look at his movie toy trailer for reference).

He's red. But, that what customizers are for.

 

[def28]

Awesome. Im cool with Mirage. Thought it would have been Cliffjumper or Hot Rod cause of the color but whatever. Awesome to know who he finally is.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Mirage is cool.

 

[Golgo-13]

I seems that they just slap any old name of Bay's TF's with without much though...
