i think i may get my wish, though. which is to see ultra magnus & kup.
this being magnus and the rusted cab being kup. but who knows, i just hope the movie strives for quality over quantity.

You're right it does look similar. You think they might cheap out on the toy and re-release the old classics Nemesis Prime in the new movie line? I really hope not. Can't stop buying Black Primes!!

Nemesis Prime appears in his self-titled episode of Transformers: Prime. Nemesis Prime is a clone of Optimus Prime created by M.E.C.H. as the prototype of "Project: Chimera" complete with Cybertronian technology, a supply of Energon, and Starscream's Transformation Cog. Nemesis Prime's color scheme is the same as Optimus', but with duller coloring. He also has yellow optics.
This kinda falls into the plot of movie about Cybertronian tech getting into the wrong hands.

For Primus' sake folks, why don't all of you just stand in line for your t-shirt that says "I'm Bay's Bitch" across both the front AND back of it because seriously, you all are nothing more than an exercise in psychological manipulation. Never mind the fact that probably half of these supposed characters y'all are being teased with will be nothing more than a passing memory on the cutting room floor anyways.
If all of you want to play the game however, I can't stop you but personally I am not a fan of letting some arrogant, egocentric, pompous ass yank my chain in any way, shape or form. Yeah, it's a cool truck... great design, has a lot of potential... for a hundred other things related to the film industry ASIDE from being a potential movie character!!

I could go for another good Classics Prime repaint, haha. It's just SUCH a good mold!
Shame it won't happen, it'll be a new movie-style mold, of course.

If this is Motormaster, then those other very pretty cars could definitely be the Stunticons.
Which would be awesome. And Hasbro's answer to FansProject's Intimidator. (I'm still buying Intimidator. I'll have room on my shelf for a Hasbro Menasor, too.)

If these are indeed Movie-styled Stunticons, I'd probably get them over Intimidator, only because they're way out of my budget. Just hope that he doesn't turn out to be an ape like Revenge of the Fallen Devastator...

Why bother even looking at the movie news?
A lot of people enjoy looking at the new vehicles and speculate on who they might be.
Nothing more than a passing memory on the cutting room floor? How do you figure that exactly?

Yeah, I would hope it doesn't end up like devastator, or that thing they tried to pass off as bruticus. I mean seriously, it was 2012.. And bruticus was the best they could do? It's pathetic.

I like the idea that Motormaster could be a Matrix Templar/ possess an affinity for the Matrix. It would add to his rivalry with Optimus. Just give him a G1-esque face like Movie Prime not some six eyed alien face with a robot beard.
If Nemesis Prime were the villain, it would follow the trend of the last two movies where the villain was a fallen Prime.

But what about War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron Breakdown and Dragstrip? Then we have that Bot Shots set of Stunticons, and TFSS Breakdown...
I get what you mean, actual fictional appearances of the Stunticons and Menasor.

Most people -do- like it, despite it's flaws (that's why they've repainted it SO MANY TIMES) . The ones that don't are just the vocal minority.

And to be fair, it's hard to engineer a group of poseable robots that convert into alien craft, while giving a majority of them the power to transform into two different limbs for a combined mode.

Their only real problem is the budget thing that happened with the FoC deluxes, being thin and light. If that hadn't been the case, I sincerely doubt anyone would have had any substantive complaints.

Given that we saw a rusted-out flat nose cab with a paintjob clearly inspired by G1 Optimus, and that this flat nose cab is Black-and-silver (with blue highlights no less), it's probably Scourge!

It's worth keeping that rusted-out flatnose cab we saw awhile back, with the G1 Optimus Prime silver stripe (and flames, because Bayverse). My money's on it being Scourge/Nemesis Prime.

BECAUSE it's Bayverse, as you stated by bringing up the flames on the silver rig, that would be a good reason to NOT lay any money down on it being Scourge/Nemesis Prime... or Motormaster for that fact. I'm betting it's none of the above and that neither of the flat-nosed rigs have anything to do with each other whatsoever. If it seems likely or plausible or remotely logical or having anything to do with previous iterations in the TF line over the last 29 years, go completely the opposite direction and that's how Bay is going to handle it.

You're probably right, but it'd be something to flat out call it as Motormaster, say MENASOR loudly, and then find out I'm right. I don't even mind how badly Bay would butcher the characters/combiner - I'd be happy to see Menasor get some love again (even if it's abusive Bay-love).
It's a crime that Menasor has not had a re-release in any way.

I said the very same thing the other day....SOOOOOOOoooo tired of Bruticus and Devestator repaints and redos... Hell, I am even weary of my beloved Airialbots... BRING ON THE STUNTICONS!!! Just makes sense with all the high end cars and now the truck. Everyone keeps complaining that high end cars make horrible disguises... Well 1) Cons don't really care about their disguises for the most part and 2) look at G1!! You had Lambo Countachs, One of a kind rally Porches, supped up Datsuns...Hardly great disguises.
In the end, who knows what Bay has in store...
