seriously I would not be suprised if it was Windbreaker. That's the way Bay thinks.

My thoughts on who it is...I don't know!
Posted by Autobot Strider on July 26th, 2010 @ 8:51pm CDT
But yeah, add my voice to those who've already said "WTF is with all the red?" They avoid it in the first movie because it's hard to film, meaning Ironhide gets a colour swap (I never really disliked Optimus' new look) and then in the second one they did the same thing to Sideswipe... and now they are adding two red vehicles...
Well, my guess for this Jeep is still Hound, even if it's way off. Second guess would be Trailbreaker, so it's as though he and Ironhide swapped paintjobs. Just for the lulz, I think the Ferrari will be Tracks, because:
1) Red is the polar opposite of blue (or so says I.)
2) They made Sideswipe (originally an Italian car) into an American car, so it makes 'sense' that they would make Tracks (originally an American car) into an Italian one. BALANCE!

So, applying logic I'm gonna stick with him for my guess.
Though Cliffjumper is also very likely.

What happened to Bay saying it was hard to use red? Now we have two vehicles in this film that are mostly all red.
First, I agree 100% with the "we can't film red" and now magically they can. But this is Bay we're talking about, he doesn't care who the original character is, what alt mode they had or what color they were. The only character he was mostly true to was BB with his color. This could be his Unicron for all we know. All he cares about is the all ighty oller.
Listen to his commentary on the first film, he says Cullen was all his idea, yet every single quote, blog or interview before they cast him was him not wanting Cullen, that this wasn't a "toy movie".

Rampage wasn't originally red, he was yellow. They only changed him to red in post because the audience was too confused as which bot was kicking which's tailpipe. This is most noted on the horrible recolor in his alt mode prior to the fight.

Either way, I'm positive it's at least a TF. I know they claim to be "in disguise" and everything, but when it comes to Michael Bay's Transformers, you can spot them a mile away - they're either the shiny new never-before-seen concept cars, or the sinister death-machines with guns sticking out.

He will probarly be called Whirl with the way the Autobots are named I mean BB is not a muscle car

Superficially fitting Autobot names: Brawn,Gears,Trailbreaker/Blazer,Pathfinder,Wheeljack,Mudflap,Swerve,Tracks,Warpath,any number of G2 names,Rhinox,Rattrap.
In terms of Decepticon status, could it be somebody linked to Wheelie somehow?
Superficially fitting Decepticon names: Crumplezone,Swindle/Rollbar,Bonecrusher(again),Bruticus,Lugnut,Rumble,Breakdown...
In terms of third faction mecha it could be an innocently bystanding or parked vehicle hijacked (or hotwired) by someone like Simmons to run over a Decepticon for comic relief,simple cannon/explosion fodder,some kind of Autobot hating (and even Decepticon welcoming) human gang vehicle...
Remember, some Autobots are seen in Chicago photos but are missing from known chase footage so an Autobot group could be working on an objective somewhere in Chicago whilst the others defend the perimeter,run interference or race to provide backup.We have to study filming yet to be done to work out which vehicles appear as what groups since future filming will deal with pre ending scenes.I would be quite happy if this jeep turned out to be a newcomer (scientist with wheels counting as whacky earthling-tech gizmos?) helping the theorised mission group, but for now I suspect it will be a mid-battle powerup by Mudflap.

If he were a military Jeep, then that would be far more suitable. Hell, even if he were a Humvee, or a little Dune Buggy (think Dune Runner) I'd be happy.

In real life: Red cancels Green, Orange cancels Blue, and Yellow cancels purple. Go check out a color wheel.

It would be cool that more Autobots arrive on Earth for the final battle.

the comments fot this video
Sorry short clip. But here is the jeep I recorder earlier but with the Machine gun on the back of it. I was wondering what the hell the metal thing was on the back when I took the video earlier. Was able to get close and talk to the guy. Wouldn't tell me much but was practicing on the gun. Thing is really nuts.. Got one more video to load up soon.

Hmm... interesting. Thanks for that.
However, I was thinking more along these lines:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states
or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_vs._Blue
Also, depending on the "colour model", Red's opposite varies. Under a "blue-yellow-red colour wheel" what you say is true, but with the "red-green-blue" colour model, Red's opposite (and thus complimentary colour) is Cyan, which is a shade of blue.
Back on topic:
We all know that Michael Bay's "colour wheel" probably has an arrow that spins in the middle.
MB: "Hmmm, what colour should Cliffjumper be?"
*spins wheel*
MB: "Fuchsia! Perfect!"

Sorry.
I don't think it'd be right to be Hound, I mean, could you see that trying to get closer to nature?
Maybe Beachcomber? We can never guess right with Bay.

With that out of the way, I'm guessing hound, swindle, one of soundwaves minions (Since Bay has to screw up the size as well, OR maybe it's an incredibly obscure one such as ________

I'm in agreeance with those that are hoping that this isn't Hound. I too would preffer him to be a military jeep. But to be honest, if it does end up being hound, i wouldn't be to disapointed either. At least Mr. Bay kept him as a Jeep. (that's if he is hound). Time will tell.

what if it's the women's version, wasn't it the F series? with the lipstick in place of the cigarette lighter?
But Skowl makes a good point. I know it's a movie, but in real life I would be suspicious of always waxed, concept model cars.
