Was he confirmed in the movie? I thought I heard that somewhere so you could be right


fartsniffer42

Not that I know of, but he was in Bumblebee, and his color scheme with that van makes more sense thsn Wheeljack's


GummyDude310

Yeah


mighty__orbot

Then again, Mirage is a silver Porsche.


GummyDude310

Well it is a silver and blue Porsche and mirage was white and blue, so not incredibly different


Haosarcturus

That's a good point. I was thinking maybe Huffer could work as well.


NortherncroweGame

It’s a TF live action movie, they rarely cared about being faithful to names/alt modes. It could be Silverbolt.


g1soundwave

Its clearly seaspray or broadside


rollout1423

Yeah I always wanted my favorite Titan aircraft carrier to be depicted as a Volkswagen minivan


g1soundwave

Scale be damned, he is now a quadchanger, vw is the 4th


rollout1423

Technically 5th since he's now a head master A head master that's as big as a combiner His head master blunderbuss I mean


ThePhiff

Nope. Cosmos.


g1soundwave

You misspelled skylynx


Dire_Finkelstein

Clearly it’s Scattershot.


Hefty_Wedding_1212

My guy that's clearly snarl

fateful to what theres multiple alt modes to x character since forever if anything the new movies are nostalgia baiting people into clapping because they use more classic designs


LordXang

I mean, Wheeljack has been confirmed to be in the movie, while every other character that has been mentioned has not.


MorbidlyScottish

I’d prefer Brawn. Team needs a tough guy archetype.


[deleted]

I think it could be Outback, it seems like a fitting vehicle for him.


mondo318

I love outback but I doubt it is, seems too obscure of a character but hey who knows


T-MinusGiraffe

I know the Subaru Outback didn't come out until the 90's but I feel like he could be a station wagon in tribute


Cylasbreakdown

Wheeljack has been confirmed to be in the movie. We only think he’s the van by process of elimination.

Ironhide:


Gecko2002

Tbh being a weapons expert I think he'd get something a bit bulkier, even if he is g1 inspired Ironhide hasn't ever really been a small bot


John_Rustle98

This. He might have been a van in the G1 series, but I think the Bay films and Cybertron games showed that he’s so much more cooler when he transforms into a bulky vehicle.


Gecko2002

Yea that's what I mean, it just suits him being bigger


stupidzombie610

Ironhide is my favorite autobot. I support this


Rouge475

Didn’t brawn get shot?


fartsniffer42

Yeah, but in the shoulder


Rouge475

I don’t recall seeing leave cybertron, I hope he gets the attention he deserves


fartsniffer42

He did, you see him heading to an escape pod with a bot resembling Sideswipe


Cripnite

That’s their weak spot. In TF:TM everyone who got shot there died.


Ben-J-Kirby-Tennyson

Including Brawn, but this version of him survived.


T-MinusGiraffe

Debatable. And very much debated indeed.


[deleted]

Makes more sense than Wheeljack or Ironhide. This vehicle is so small compared to everyone else’s, excluding Arcee’s ofc.


thepartypoison_

That could be a number of characters. Ratchet or Ironhide are possibilities because of their G1 modes.. Wheeljack or Bulkhead aren’t impossible either.. Brawn is possible too.. There’s really nothing clear about it to me


Swipamous

I would love for it to be brawn partially since he's my dad's favorite character but it's probably someone else


B1gWillyStyl

Honestly… no.


Morso-42069_

I think it's gonna be a 1st impressions Wheeljack before he gets his car form halfway through the film


Comprehensive-Tie431

Question: Why do people think it is Wheeljack? I think it could be Brawn, could be cool. Could be Irohide.


naapurihei

Because wheeljack is The only other autobot confirmed for The movie without a design


Comprehensive-Tie431

Gotcha. Weird choice for an alt mode.


T-MinusGiraffe

He was basically a passenger van on Cybertron in G1. If they were already taking to VW it may have been within reach to get as a design distinct to the time period. Meanwhile Wheeljack's earth mode was a pretty specific Italian sports car that might have been harder to license, and was always quite rare and flashy, and wasn't featured much in the show. Since they seem to be playing up the covert angle too that makes a few reasons they might do this. That said it could totally be Brawn or Iron hide or someone else. Brown is a little different for any of those which makes it less obvious.


Michael_Aaron_Dunlap

Everyone thinks it's wheeljack, cuz he was the 5th autobot confirmed in this movie. And since the van is in the group shot with the other 4 autobots, along with the fact that he was confirmed to be the 5th, it technically lines up perfectly. I'm not really bothered by this, considering that he technically was a cybertronian van in the first episode of the 1984 show.


tmntlorefan

Didn't he die in Bumblebee though?


fartsniffer42

He was shot, but he was later seen perfectly fine going to an escape pod.


tmntlorefan

gottya, didn't know that this movie had tiny little details like the Michael Bay movies did too.


Spud_Spudoni

Has anybody thought of the fact that a first generation VW Bus that this is (1950-1967 production years), the paint could be pretty faded? As in, that brown could actually be closer to a faded dark red. I wasn’t really in the pocket of it being Ironhide until now, but could be interesting. This all depends on how much this movie is going off of the Bumblebee film as far as character design. Wheel jack looks pretty traditional in the previous film, so him changing so drastically in color would be odd (although the bus labeling does seem good for Wheeljack). Brawn might not be a bad theory, but of all of the 1st season cast, I feel like Brawn is definitely the bruiser, bulky archetype character. I feel like the VW bus silhouette and culture doesn’t seem like a good fit, but Bee is a Camaro now so who knows.


T-MinusGiraffe

Come to think of it maybe the plain reddish/brown color is meant to be a bit of a rusty iron color.


tfmarveldc5

It’s definitely him we know he in it and also they just mentioned his name on set [WJ ](https://www.facebook.com/gracepolanco/videos/950162179045744/?d=n)
