Which one shows a death? The clip or one of the TV spots?

The very end of the last TV spot showed Grimlock snapping someone in half with his jaws. Not sure who, it was just a mess of parts and green fluid. (Made me think it was Crosshairs for a second, but that wouldn't make sense.)
I wish Bee would keep that '69 Camaro alt mode. Looks so much better than the new one.

I'm pretty sure that's just a Vehicon.

Unless the movie decides to call the Trax dudes Vehicons as well (which we won't know about either way until the 27th).

But they are Vehicons it does not even need to be confirmed.
They look like Vehicons too so why the hell would they not be Vehicons?

There is no one set design that automatically pegs down something as being a Vehicon. In the entire history of the brand, there have been six different things given the name of "Vehicon", and of those six, one of them had at least 12 completely different designs, another had at least 7 designs, and two of the others had no designs at all. And there's also been the differences in designs between toys and fiction. So, in the end, there have been at least 30 different designs for things that have been called a Vehicon. And of those 30 designs, not a one looks like an inspiration for the Chevy Trax bots.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:They look like Vehicons too so why the hell would they not be Vehicons?

Well, the fact that you're talking about a character's death when most of us haven't seen the movie yet, for one thing.

What else would they be called?
Until someone from the movie says what they are everyone is going with Vehicons.

Who is "everyone?" Besides you, I haven't read or heard anyone else refer to them as Vehicons.

Where the hell have you been?
Maybe not on Seibertron but that's what everyone on Tfw2005 and YouTube are calling them.
They were not called anything in the movie unless i missed it. (i saw an early screening so i do know what happens i just dont remember every line)
Posted by Va'al on June 24th, 2014 @ 5:14pm CDT
Quick reminder to all users who HAVE seen the movie already: please keep ALL spoilers in the spoiler-friendly thread right here
Any other message containing material from the movie will be edited from this thread.
Thanks!

You do realize that both of those sites have less-than-admirable reputations, much less are either them considered to be official sources.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Maybe not on Seibertron but that's what everyone on Tfw2005 and YouTube are calling them.
YouTube is especially vicious and notorious to the point that no one should every regard its comment sections as anything reliable.

Agreed with youtube
But Tfw2005?
They are generally a lot better then this site in fact when i discovered it i left this site for awhile but then i was banned for reasons i dont even know i pretty sure i pissed off a mod though before i was so that might be it.
In fact they say the same thing about you guys.
Posted by Sabrblade on June 24th, 2014 @ 5:30pm CDT
It's like how back before DOTM premiered everyone was calling Sentinel Prime "Old Yellow" (due to his being colored yellow/gold in the very first teaser trailer). No one knew who he was, but a name was given to him in the meantime.
The difference this time, however, being that anyone could see the casual use of the term "Vehicon" being tossed around to refer to the Chevy Traxes and mistakenly believe that term to be the official name of the Chevy Traxes, when such isn't known to be the case. A name like "Old Yellow" is obvious to be a fanmade nickname at first glance, while the name "Vehicon" feel real enough to not be perceived as a simple nickname.

Sorry i notice how rude that was.
What i really meant to say is that i see more users complaining about everything then i do on Tfw2005.
the veterans here are exceptions.
Its a preference ok i have friends on that site so i'm more used to that site then here.
Its not bad here though its just i see a lot of complaining.

I've been here. I have no need to go anywhere else. (Got your back, Mindmaster!) And if they weren't called that officially as you yourself say:
They were not called anything in the movie...
then they're NOT VEHICONS.

Vehicons is what i'm calling them until official sources say otherwise.
Vehicon sounds cooler then drones or ksiformers anyways.

We don't know. Simple as that. If the information isn't available to us, then we just don't know, and don't pretend to know.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Then what are they?
But wasn't the name "Trax" given for these things in a previous news post?
It's not a matter of what sounds better or cooler, but a matter of journalistic integrity. If people go around intentionally using terms they know full well aren't provided by official sources, other people unaware of the terms' unofficial nature could see the terms being used and mistaken them as something factual instead of a fan's preference of convenience and/or simplicity.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Vehicons is what i'm calling them until official sources say otherwise.
Vehicon sounds cooler then drones or ksiformers anyways.
If I wanted to call the nameless Insecticon who appeared in ROTF by the name of "Buzzkill" because I liked the sound of that name, those not as familiar with the character or not knowing that I'd be using an unofficial name could think I was serious about that being his name and might take me seriously enough to think that that is his name, when there's nothing official to support it as it'd be just my own fanmade nickname for the guy.
I wouldn't want to impose any sort of confusion such as that upon anyone, and I'd hope others such as yourself would feel the same.

hehe. I left tfw2005 for the reasons that there is a large chunk of people over there who do nothing but whine, complain, throw insults and troll for the sake of trolling. Siebertron.com is far superior in terms of its user base and the quality of the people who are here.
I'm not saying all of TFW2005 is all bad, there are quite a few people over there whom I have the utmost respect for. But, jumping into a convo in a tfw2005 thread is like jumping into a convo on youtube. You're lucky to get 3 posts in before you've got someone throwing insults or trolling.
The only sad moment I've had with Siebertron.com was the meetup at botcon. I couldn't find anyone at the meeting place where everyone was meeting, but I'm much shorter in a wheelchair so it's hard to look over people who are sitting. ROFL! And even with that, I hope to be able to meet some people from here in person, whether it be before next botcon or next botcon.
Posted by Sabrblade on June 24th, 2014 @ 9:10pm CDT
I didn't even make it to this year's meet up place. I was on my way but ran into some folks outside the convention center and got talking with them for a while (one of them was Spongedude who posts on this site), and before we knew it it was time to go to the BotCon Retrospective panel. So I missed out on both the meet up and dinner (had a vending machine junk food dinner instead when I got back to my hotel).Thalack wrote:The only sad moment I've had with Siebertron.com was the meetup at botcon.

Oh well. At least I got to say hi to Ryan at Universal and got to hang with Diem for a panel or two.

I see what you mean
its just it was the opposite back in 2012-2013 for me
the guys i know are still the same (my friends are decent guys)
its just the new tfw2005 members that are whiny.
I am sorry for saying that and i will erase that from my post just was in a cranky mood i hope this does not ruin my future days here.
And the Vehicon argument lets just drop it and believe what we want too its not worth the fight.
