We first started calling them the Stunticons, and some designated them as the Omnibots. Nelson, who admins Michaelbay.com has put the Nascar trio's name to rest, as they are revealed to be the Wreckers. What their individual names are, and whether they are Autobots or Decepticons is still up in the air. If you haven't already, check them out in Seibertron.com's Transformers 3 Chicago Filming Coverage.

Autobots...even Bay isn't dumb enough to make em 'Cons. Besides, other pictures have shown them in formation with the other Autobots.

Aye, when they were originally created, they were Autobots to start with.

Plus there was the video showing them firing/fighting alongside the NEST team, so it's virtually clear they are Autobots! :-B

So. Why does that make a difference?? You should still have a spoiler warning on it regardless.

If they are Autobots, where are the Autobrands? Human weapon systems.

Wreckers, huh? Betcha the green one will be Springer, or something along the lines of that.

The green's Springer, the red's Sandstorm, and the blue's up in the air.

by **nikeprime** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 6:16 pm

It will probably be Springer, Road buster, and Sandstorm ( who was a dune buggy in one of his 3 modes)...maybe we will see broadside, which would be AWESOME (huge aircraft carrier)..but I doubt it. Anyway, these 3 better be BAD ASS MOFO's. :KREMZEEK:

It says, "TF3 - They Are The Wreckers"

Who are the 'they' referred to in the title? You wouldn't know without reading further. If you don't want TF3 spoilers, avoid news posts with TF3 in the title.

It does not say what Wreckers characters they are. You can refuse to believe it, as I am doing (

), you can think of this as the Bayverse TFs and they will probably be more unlike than like anything you know of the Wreckers previously.

Give me a title that works better, and I will edit it and put it in if I agree. But it has to work and still give the basic information to make someone desire to read the story.

Hopefully these "Wreckers" aren't Springer and the gang. I hope they are something completely new like Bay often does in the movies.

Me too.

Of course TF3's a lost cause. That's why we're here!

I kid, I kid. (Or do I?)

Whirl.

And, oh yeah. Another classic TF concept flushed down the toilet. Thanks, Bay.

I'm betting right now that "Wreckers" in the Bay-verse won't have proper bot modes.
They will just have those weaponed-up forms.

They may be drones, they may not, but yea, I'm betting they will be unlike the Wreckers as we know them.

i dont know much about the wreckers but i think going on the coour scheme on the dark blue on i think its scattershot

Sorry, I'm with AC on this.
I follow Seibertron on Facebook, so I can't avoid seeing major headlines, and spoilers like this can really ruin it for me.

Maybe something like:
TF3 - Identity of so-called "Stunticons" revealed.
TF3 Spoilers - "Stunticons" info.
TF3 - The Car/Weapons platform hybrids get a name!
TF3 - Are these Nascar's (?) some old faces?
TF3 - Wreck and Rule! (Okay, this ones still quite spoilery, but we still don't know /who/ you're talking about, where as there's only really one group we could refer to as "they" seen on set, every one else are singular, unrelated vehicles.)
TF3 Spoilers - Identities revealed!
TF3 - [whatsisface] officially names the Nascar Trio.
TF3 - Nascar trio get official name.
TF3 Spoilers - These certainly aren't Nick Roche's Wreckers.

And those were done early in the morning, on barely any sleep, in five minutes before having to go to work.
Given that this /is/ a news site, as you yourself pointed out, and not just that but possibly the top Transformers news site, I would expect better.

The more I look at these pictures the more I think these have been inspired by the idw comics. Anybody remember the "battle-modes" the TFs had in the comics? The ones where the alt-modes had weapons popping out.
I think this is what we see here the battle modes of these Wreakers.
