Possibly, but I would think a hustler like him would want a slightly slicker vehicle mode

It's entirely plausible and even likely that's what it is, still, it's nice to be able to just speculate about it - I would love for it to be Wreck-gar voiced by Weird Al

That seems incredibly unlikely. A multi-million dollar movie isn't going to use an old flatbed truck to haul around a load of junk that's so haphazardly piled on that it looks like it could all come tumbling off at any moment. That vehicle would be a moving violation on any North American road if it were really a pile of junk and not one giant prop itself with everything properly stuck together. A real production crew would use enclosed trailers, not something like that.

True, but, a person could still expect nothing less from one such as Bay to be so absurdly bold as to want to transport that much haphazard junk in the most insane way possible.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Props and/or equipment to be transported from site to site?SillySpringer wrote:Kurona wrote:Or just a background vehicle that's not a transformer at all.

I can totally imagine him strapping a bunch of dynamite on top of a Pinto or something. He's just that bat s*** crazy.

Thanks I just took a look after seeing your comment. Looks like they are trying to make it harder to guess who the vehicles are, if they are anyone at all

Luckily, we instead have popular character recognition and nostalgia (considering the movies will have been going 10 years when last knight comes out)

Wasn't it assumed that Barricade was killed at the end of TF3 along with Soundwave?
My memory serves me correct, and tfwiki also confirms what I remembered
Barricade had managed to escape the carnage and meet up with Shockwave, ripping the protoforms a new one (figuratively, but knowing Barricade it was about to get literal), apparently blaming them for the death of Soundwave and the Autobots' escape. Barricade finally met his end during the NEST attack on Shockwave's group. While yelling at a protoform he was blinded by sniper shots to his eyes. He stumbled around in pain for a moment before being crippled by a Boomstick placed on his leg. Barricade collapsed to the ground, dropping his gun as he did. He then tried to crawl to safety before finally being killed by several shots to his head by gunfire from the human troops. Dark of the Moon

Duhamel/Lennox agrees with you too.
I thought we’d already put this bad cop away. #transformers

Also a thought on galvatron being megs again, this isn't the first time in fiction that it's happened, as the Japanese first did in the story line where Star Convoy appeared and Dark Nova resurrected galvatron as super megatron. A long shot could be that it's being referenced some how by the writing room.

The one I'm currently thinking thinking is that it involves him being a test subject at ksi when they started work with the drones and at the start of the film he's laying dormant allowing the humans to have control till galvatron/megs appears and barricade is back to being evil.

My theory is that he'll show up with little or no explanation, do a few things and then get brutalized by the Autobots.

The acto wrote a tweet earlier today when the new picture of Barricade was released saying "I thought we’d already put this bad cop away".

Most notably, the military vehicles with the Stargate-esque triangle/arrow/A symbol, the VW rusty van, and some South Dakota State Trooper SUVs - along with more Camaro Bumblebee, of course - though not all are necessarily Cybertronian in origin. Check them out below!
What if this is a shattered glass universe? Primes face with purple eyes and if you look at bumblebees headlights they seem to be glowing red

looks like him with giant canons in bakc but it means nothing there human vehicales see no alien logos on it same with same with pick up truacks with upside traingle some peopel thought galavtron was motor master before his name was dropped to be galavtron in trnansfromers 4 by looking at silver semi truck like to know if rusted van is alien maybe they will do another 180 with us by naming it something we never expect it to be bonecrusher in first movie for example, ironhide pickup truck

Just saying, based on this, I think the movie versions of Bonecrusher and Ironhide were better for the characters. It made Ironhide look like the badass in vehicle mode he should be and it made Bonecrusher actually look like a bonecrusher

Yeah other Transformers die easily, while those two can never die permanently. Bee's an exception though I guess. I mean he's friggin Bee.
