New vehicles for TF4

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

I hope they finally release Leadfoot in the toyline.

Bay's website has a poll voting for favorite new Transformer (originally they wrote "Autobot" but have since changed that) and are confirming that Hound is the military vehicle.

You think the nose looks like a Cavalier? That's actually the type of car I drive. But I'd say the new Camaro still looks like a Camaro, just more streamlined.
Yeah, the nose reminds me of the third gen, especially '03 redress, with the jutting rounded lower area and the slitty headlights. Cav is a funny thing, it's seen largely as a fleet vehicle but some folks also turn it into a tuner, it's got a wide footprint - reminds me of the Ford Escort's final years.

The rest is still a Camaro as it looks like they just bolted the nose onto an existing body, but that's not actually the case, when you put them side by side the current gen Camaro and its redress have some differences beyond the nose. Technically it's not actually a "6th gen" but that's just an easier way to express the change right now.

?

Leadfoot toys appeared in the DOTM toy line. Since he had the Target logo on his toy,Target carried a huge chunck of his toys in different size classes. I think other retail stores carried a few DOTM leadfoot toys minus the taget logo & in different color schemes minus the target logo.

They released the Human Alliance Leadfoot, and a Cyberverse one, but they never released the Deluxe one, Target exclusive or not. That always pissed me off.

I'm hoping that black truck cab seen on the TF4 filming set is not Nemesis Prime. I just don't want the main or secondary TF4 villian be Nemesis Prime. Due to the Nemesis Prime villians being over done in almost every TF toy line since Beastwars Seond started this.

I'd rather the black truck cab be Menasor. So the chances of getting the other Four Stunticons increases in. I'm in it for the toys & i'd love to be able to buy Five Stunticons that merge to form Menasor in the TF4 toy line.

At this point,since the character/toy have been over-used having a Nemesis Prime in the TF4 movie would be perhaps the most un-original/unwanted villiam in the movie-verse films/toy line.

As the main TF4 villian,I'd rather have the following to choose from: Galvatron,Jhiaxus,Straxus,Thunderwing,Overlord,Deathsauras.

If needed,As the TF4 secondary villian to choose from: Cyclonus if Galvatron is the main villian,Overlord,Straxus,

As the big low intelligence bully muscle villian in TF4,I like to choose from the following: Stunticons that merge to form Menasor,Trypticon,Tidalwave,G-1 Predacons that form Predaking.

I agree with all of this but... you just know that if they do have Menasor, Hasbro will screw it up and only have them go vehicle to merge like they did with Devastator.

Thought about starting a new topic for this but since this is pretty much talking about the Transformers characters anyway....

One of the "poll faces" used for the actors to have a point of reference for the CGI characters has been spotted on the set. Looks like a bearded Cybertronian with a cigar.

IDW Kup had that thing that resembled a Cigar. So that TF4 transformer with the Cigar might be Kup.

Lot of comments I've been seeing is that people think the beard and cigar/pipe will be a new take on Hound's character.
