IIRC, the blue Mercedes and the Einstein-looking bot are the same.
If you can't remember the Einstein-looking bot, click here.

This does not mean however that Jolt isn't in the movie, he might still be part of it. All we know is that he does not appear to be the blue Mercedes.

Ironhide and the Twins are in Chicago, which is the final battle according to what Bay's been saying.

*Sigh*Jolt:Doomed to have a lame alt-mode forever...
I hope the Einstein-bot was a joke too, it's too dumb to exist in anything at all...

Just some useless thoughts.

Hell, I shaved my head once...(I lost a bet to the hockey team I was working for, but still). People get mohawks, dye their hair, get extentions and impants, wear wigs, all in the name of improving their appearance or trying soemthings different at unique. Maybe this bot just wanted to try it for the heck of it.

I agree with you, I really could see it being a Wheeljack doing it just to see what it is like. Kind of like "Hey, lets build some robots that are dinosaurs, just to see."

I'm telling you that's how it's gonna be.
Then comes Wheeljack creating the dinobots, because as we all know only the dinobots can defeat Shockwave.
Stunticons and Aerielbots add some flash and Megatron kills Optimus at the end.
a council of autobots on cybertron see this happen and look at Ultra Magnus. the film ends.

It's not the fact that it has hair it is because it looks like it has male pattern baldness which is just ridiculously stupid.
Anyway, I think it is Chromedome.

I can't watch the movies in peace because as soon as I see a scene, I automatically think "Oh, they're not gonna like that."
And it's really sad, I shouldn't have to.
When did it become the norm for people to just outright complain, around the clock, day in and day out?
I'm really sick of it.

THEN WHERE IS JOLT? I know he was only in TF2 cuz GM wanted to promote the Volt, but the little blue guy (not Wheelie) has grown on me! Damn you Bay! Don't kill him off in Nefarious or TF3! I wanna see him in a lot of TF3!:PRAY:
Sorry guys, but I'm kinda freaking out here. I posted something about this twice, and now I'll ask it again:
WHERE IS JOLT?

Another possibility:
Old + hair = Alpha Trion ???

My suggestion is that you be very careful with that type of suggestion. I've seen people arrested and convicted for posts like that.

Michael Bay's ShootfortheEdit.com admin has posted a picture of the Mercedes E550 on his Flickr account. As we all found out the other day from Nelson, this car apparently becomes the robot with the Einstein-styled head. What's interesting is that he calls the new character "Q". Whether this is the actual character name in a nod to James Bond, a clue this that name actually eludes to a name like Alpha Quintesson or Alpha Q, or simply a hint that this character is the gadget guy/inventor in TF3 (Wheeljack perhaps) is yet to be seen.

TF1 - 89 Keaton Batman that was/is great.
TF2 - Batman Forever. Flashy, likeable in places but goofy aspects definitely kicking in.
TF3 - Batman and Robin. Ruins the franchise resulting in a reboot years later ala Batman Begins.
I'm sorry but the goofiness of the Twins with their Buckteeth and the Harry Potter-esque Jetfire ruined my enjoyment of ROTF. Though even they failed in terms of blackboard scraping annoyance when compared to the HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE LEO!!! Wasn't big on Scalpel and that stupid accent either.
To see that Einstein bot being touted for TF3 shows the trend is going to continue. A shame because TF1 was fantastic so why ruin the franchise by going the ROTF route and continuing it in the third?
I did like the Decepticons in ROTF, including the Fallen, but the jokey stuff just poisoned the formula.

We are bound to get slapstick humor, and other silly things that should not belong in a TF movie. At least in my world. However, this is Bay's world, and we're all just living his dream.

No truer words were ever spoken. Too bad his dream sucks.

This is a public forum, and people have differing opinions. Not everyone is gonna agree with you. If you're sick of it, why keep coming back?

HAppy birthday!
I read your post...to give you an idea of what kind of a day I had at work, I saw the word "tentacles" and thought there was an "s" in there instead of the "n"...
...I need a drink...

Alpha Trion,
Perceptor,
Dr.Archiville-Kinda looks like him.
Wreckgar-I know its along shot,but if it could work for the twins why not him.
For all I know this could be bay's way of putting Wreckgar/Junkions in to the movie.this could be how he first appears,then something happens,and then the next thing you know he get's turned in to a Garbage Truck

Do we think "Vealjack?"
Still happy that there seems to be a load of cars in this one. Should be one ore two memorable robots in this.
Happy that the finale takes place in a big city rather than out in the desert.
Giant City trashing robots is what I'm looking for. Lets get some cities trashed!

This, so much, why not try to get Glen back? Leo is just annoying, I hated him from the start...which is kinda dumb but then...it turns out he was just as annoying as I thought!

Don't get caught up in the hype, Trust your own impressions. When you watch the film, remember what was happening around you.Remember your own reactions whilst others were filtering through the possibilities.
If we wait long enough, speculation filters down to a handful of reasonable theories which then get worked through to logical conclusions, albeit of varying possibility at times. All of us should try to chip in to do the riddle solving but in the end we pretty much always end up with pleasant explanations rather than unpleasant ones.Sometimes we even predict things correctly straight out!
I'm sorry that you feel sick of what you see. I hope something I said helps.
Have fun!

The damn Twins are in the entire movie.....huh. Cause if all this halabaloo about chicago being the finale and the Twins are in chicago.....damn.
On top of that the Stunticons might not be stunticons, therefore no giant combiner, drats.....
Alright well this at least saves me a trip waiting in line or spending more money then I should for usless bells and whistles. I'll be in the other line for Pirates 4, which I believe might also be in 3D ha ha ha

I really like the thought and effort that got put into this post. Reassuring, supportive, and well thought out. Thank you!
The 'wheel = vealjack' was fun though.
