More TF Vehicle Pics

Thanks to "Slimebucket" for sending me this link that had a second series of pics that I don't recall seeing on the AICN site. The yellow car is Bumblebee, the police car is Brawl and the plane is an Osprey used in the opening sequence against Skorponok. I think the oversized Hummer thing is Bonecrusher and the Abrams is Devastastor. The last two pics are for giggles as one looks like the original Optimus Prime but was just the truck used to deliver the cars and the last could be Vortex, but that round ball on the front is probably a camera so its more likely being used for filming. Keep scrolling down to see pics, for some reason blogger adds about 6 lines of space before starting a table of data.

AICN TF Pics

Ain't It Cool News has posted a bunch of pics of the real world vehicles modes that will be used by the TFs in the movie. This includes the yellow Camaro Bumblebee, the Mustang police car Brawn complete with Decepticon logo and "to punish and enslave..." tag. Also shown was the Abrams tank that will be the alt mode of Devastator who I am starting to suspect will be Megatron in the movie. Also the Osprey pic saw in a few posts below, that is the alt mode of Vortex. The post also basically confirms that the described opening sequences of the leaked draft are pretty much accurate, further confirming previous reports.

3 Decepticons Named?

A rumor over at the TF producer Don Murphy's message board is that the names of three Decepticons that will be in the movie.

As many have speculated, the Decepticons do in fact outnumber the Autobots in the script.

It had me scratching my head when I learned who they are, and what their alt modes are.

Brawl--a police car (for a chase scene)
Devastator--M1 Abrams tank (and a single bot)
Bonecrusher--Mine clearing vehicle

It just seems like a bunch of random names slapped on random alt modes.
If they want to use a Decepticon car, I think the names Runamuck or Runabout would be more suitable.
The tank should be Brawl, since he was a tank in G1.
Not sure how I feel about Bonecrusher. He was a bulldozer in G1 and there are mine clearing vehicles that look like bulldozers, but I think they should just stick with Combaticon names and go with Swindle or Onslaught.

Hmm, got to admit, little concerned. Getting the names "right" should be easy and basic. It would take all of three seconds to come up with a Decepticon name that is valid. More likely this information is either flat out wrong or a bit off intentionlly.

Brawl is probably really an Autobot. I am betting for at least the first movie they are going to stick with the Autobots = automobiles, Decepticons = other war equipment. The M1 Abrams is more likely Megatron as they cannot use the gun form from the cartoons do to legalities with making gun toys. Megatron was a tank in the G2 iteration and several after that. Also, really Megs is a supposed to be a big evil SOB that carries a big stick. That sounds like a tank to me. I think they should hold Devastator in reserve for a possible sequel. He is a known Transformer and having a gestalt Transformation would THE teaser trailer moment of a sequel.
