And the Mercedes E550 is...

[evergamer]

Epic fail.

"Misinforming" for the sake of promotion/publicity would be me saying "Hey, Barricade is back."

You heard it here first, people.


(i'm sorry but all of this is just too funny/sad)

Barricade is back.. come on finally some good news (Sarcasm button initiated)

[jamjam101]

You're right but you have to agree that when you're misinformed (I continue to refuse to say lie) you begin to doubt other things. That's in people's nature. I aways trusted your comments, if you just say that you're honest about these names and that they'll end up in the movie I'll immediately stop doubting it and the topic will be closed for everybody. Call me naive but I still believe that people can be honest to each other only with bare words.

Yep, that would be great. :borat

I don't know what you see but I see a picture with a name. A few months ago Nelson posted the same picture with the blue Mercedes which was again named "Q". Back then he said that this is not the name of the character but the name of the picture. So I don't know what to believe. If you know please share it with me.

[Faceh]

maybe some people need to read nelsons posts properly. I will type this slowly so people can understand i hope.


Never...........were..........they...........calle d...........mirage...........or...........wheeljac k......
in..........the........film........it.........was. .........all.........in..........the.........book. ......or.........
comics.........so.....they.......never........were ........those.......names......


sarcasam mode off

book & comics = not allways the same as the final movie

Why would anyone actually missinform or lie about 2 secondary char like nelson says its totaly pointless and would spoil nothing.

ok some people dont like the names, your entitled to you opinion but for crying out loud give it a flaming rest and wait for the film.

If the car had absolutely no branding, no way for anyone to officially know it's a Benz, and Nelson posted a picture of it titling it 'Benz' and saying it was the name of the picture...Then later, he say's 'Meet Mercedes Benz', wouldn't it also make it the name of the car?

It's not like he changed the name of the car from 'Q' to 'S'. It's the same name. It's simply the name of the character AS WELL as the name of the picture.

Don't be so technical. Your wasting to much time on these threads dwelling the legitimacy.

Come on Nelson, you know everything I said was true. You cant deny that the reasons I gave are legitimate and for all we know Barricade could make a cameo too. You yourself said there were other TFs in the movie that were not in the book and Being you sarcastically brought him up, no one has said he (Barricade) wasn't in either. LOL, im just fucking around Nelson. But seriously weather intentional or not the name changes has indeed created more hype for the movie and your site. Face it, im sure by you giving out this info, true or not, its going to get more people to want to see for themselves by going to the movie and it get more people popping in on your site to see whats being talked about NOW. So yes its working

[Honeykitt]

tMaybe it's just me, but sometimes Plagues posts remind me of how Shadow typed his posts.........

Probably just my imagination.t

OT: Thank you for the information nelson.

Lets not get into that again, please? Yes Shadow is my older brother, we were born by the same parents we went to school together, we write fan fiction together all the time, and we do write/type very similarly to one another. What's the problem?

You're right actually I've tried to prove another thing but hell there is no point.
By the way I was referring about this from 10 months ago:

Maybe you forgot it. But as I said to hell with it. There's an awesome movie coming right this way. Let's not waste our energy. :borat
Just 20 days lefy!!!

No problem. Just making a comment. No offense intended.

lol thought everyone here knew that.

[THUNDERWING]

Nelson.... think about it... ITs a movie made with american actors' Save Rosie... And good for him i am just saying that its a bit stupid to say "hes a famous Italian" and everyone thinks about all these people then outta no where comes "dino" which sounds like someone just dropped the ball on everything....

now that i agree with, i told my kids what the ferraris name was they just rolled their eyes and said the dinosaur on the flintstones? they did like Q tho

[DK Prime]

I really REALLY don't get those names. To me they will be Mirage and Wheeljack. I have problems understanding why Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari would not like TF names for their cars. A good reason is requested. And as another poster asked...why then have them in a Transformers movie?

Sorry I usually don't question nelson or Bay, but I am really having a hard time getting this into my thick skull.

[mattimus prime]

you know what though the more i here que it kinda grows on me i just cant stop thinking about james bond when i here it. but i agree with everyone i would rather have the name be wheeljack

[bjoneill74]

The name Que doesn't bother me at all.
I do like all of those original sorts of characters (Prime, Bluestreak, Prowl, Wheeljack, Hound, Ironhide, Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Jazz etc..), but Que isn't bad.
I think I'd rather the einsteiny looking character not be wheeljack.

Dino over Mirage baffles me a bit.. I do think people put too much stock in it though.
They're all side characters aside from Prime and Bee.

[King of Kings]

If Que was named that as a homage to James Bond then the car used should have been an Aston Martin IMO that would have been a better homage.

I would agree, if they were referencing 007 himself. But, A) who knows (besides those involved) what kind of brand strategies are at play for each car mfr. (read: is AM exclusive again to JB franchise?) and B) seeing that his name is Que, being the gadget guru would be more directly synonymous, I would feel, and where this indirect shout out is coming from. (if indeed that's what this 'bot shares in personality/characteristics)

tl;dnr: Less to do with the car, more to do with the character.

I mean, would you associate an Aston with a MoneyPenny-type character as well?

Fair points.

[Albershide]

The funny thing is that Mercedes wouldn't give their name for an evil D-Con but they would love to do that for a British spy. :lmao

[Gruff]

Dino = Swoop?

Q = Quickswitch/Quickstrike?


just thought I'd put that out there....................

[KiloBravo]

I have to say...after reading so many different theories and thoughts I must say this. I'm not doubting the names are Q and Wheeljack..but I definitely think, or should I say feel there is some kind of "twist" or something regarding these names. If it wasn't...why not just put their names out earlier....market toys, etc. I remember ROTF had a list of every transformer that was going to be in the movie months before the movie was released. I'm just crazy anxious to see the movie in IMAX 3D and find out what's what. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of surprises. I still want to know what the hell Brains looks like..or what his alt mode will be. I thought I heard he gets some type of upgrade. Gonna be a long 19 days guys!

[MrX]

Kinda unimaginative. It's like the writers thought "I need a name for this character <looks at Keyboard>"Q"! That works!

But whatever, no point in bitch'n and moaning. Like The Rock said so many times:"It Doesn't Matter What Your Name Is!" So long as the character is doing someing awesome I'm happy with that.
