Okay, so I’m partly pissed off at the GM monopoly of the Transformers movie forced Bumblebee to become a Camaro (I like him as a VW Beetle). Not only that, the one-badge lineup for the Autobots meant that we’re just looking at cars that you often see almost everyday.
But lo and behold, a leaked production call sheet from Dreamworks revealed a lot of spoilers. While douchebag Shia LaBeouf will still be mackin’ hottie Megan Fox, for us geek gearheads, what’s more important is that there will be a lot more vehicles this time around. I mean having to watch a man-mancar-crush love-affair of some geek with a yellow Camaro was hell enough. At least this time, we get to see more hardware.
And yes, when we say vehicles, we mean that it won’t just be purely cars. Reports indicate that we’ll be seeing the Buell Firebolt motorcycle femmebot, perhaps even an Audi R8, an earth mover, and a Blackbird jet. Nice. Comic Book Movie has this list of tentative Transformers for the second installment.
- Arcee - a female motorcycle from the original movie.
- The Twins - An Ice Cream Truck
- Stinger - A Porsche
- R8 - Unknown, but possibly an Audi R8–the kind seen in Iron Man.
- Wheels - Probably a version of the annoying “Wheelie” from the original series.
- Jetfire - a Blackbird jet
- Devastator? - An unconfirmed Constructicon Earth Mover.
