Transformers 3 has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from “Hangover” and the Doctor from “Knocked Up.”
We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month.
I also was at a Ferrari charity event this week raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.
Who will be this Autobot? Let's the speculation begins!

but yeah why bother to get a cool and/or rare car if it'll have 2mins (or less) of screentime.

I tend to agree with you. I don't think he'll be yellow as BB already is yellow and kids could potentially confuse the two. At this point there is no red Autobot currently, so red is possible.
I also agree that Rodimus is also a possibility. It seems flashy enough for his personality.
Let's also not forget the possibility of someone completely new, but if they are REALLY sticking to the so-called core mythos, I tend to doubt this.

well i personally think this should have been sideswipe
well hes taken sooo we will wait and see lol
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BUNNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow, I'm still puzzled about why everyone thinks the Ferrari in the movie is going to be red?
Posted by Megatronsdemise666 on March 22nd, 2010 @ 10:57am CDT

He says it will be.

Would be cool if Sideswipe is actually red in TF3.
Now go and find us a Wheeljack mr. Bay.

I'd love to see Sunstreaker but I feel it's definitely Hot Rod

The red version of him

As far as my luck goes, this will be the new form of Herp or Derp... or Tracks.

Please let it be the Metroplex or Houston area. Pleeeeeeeeeeease let it be one of those places
That Ferrari looks pretty cool. My money's on it being either Sunstreaker (to counteract Sideswipe), Hot Rod, or Tracks

plot wise we may even get some TF tech on display, prehaps even forcing prime to share some with the humans to defend them from a pumped up decep threat and wheeljack is your man on that front.
bar that hot rod.
though i hope not, i hate that guy !

That actually is a GOOD idea. Smooth, sleek, fast looking. Absolutely a possibility.

Personally I like that aspect of the movies. Let's face it, it allows for MUCH more speed. How many inventions do humans have that put wheels on their feet, and what does it do for their speed? Rollerskates, blades, scooters, cars, Segways, skateboards, etc. We're more faster and maneuverable with wheels on our feet...why not robots?

That is exactly what I am thinking. If this character has a production toy, which it should, I am buying 20 of them. I have to have it.

It is a modern version concept car of the Lancia Stratos by a company called "Fenomenon."

THERE IS A BIGGER NEWS ITEM NESTED WITHIN THIS ARTICLE!
Notice - the car ia a FERRARI!
Haven't the past 2 movies shown us ONLY GM FAMILY/BRAND PRODUCED CARS?!?!??!!?!
Does this mean GM no longer will dominate as the brand associated with the Autobots?!?!?!
If this is the case, and we take into consideration the comments made by Josh Duhamel that the 3rd movie will be more 'based on the core mythology' - this MAY elude to autobots (and cons?) taking on forms more closely related to their original models!
So, this COULD be a new version of Sideswipe!
Again though - the bigger news I think is the limit (monopoly) of GM models being tossed out the window.

Posted by Bumblevivisector on March 22nd, 2010 @ 9:47pm CDT
But I'll go out on a limb and guess the car will stay red, and Michael's idea of "core mythology" will lead him to make it Overdrive and expect casual fans to have any idea who that is.

Just me rambling but if it's a flashy sports car then Hot Rod's the only Bot I think who would fit the bill

Since when did Audi become part of General Motors?
Anyhow, I think the financial problems GM has been having are the main reason why GM is no longer sole supplier of the Transformers car park. I also think GM no longer wants / is able to financially back its demands over the cars chosen for the movie. With the success of the first two movies, Michael Bay probably has car makers at his feet, begging (and paying) to have their latest car model shown in the new TF movie. I'd say Bay is now the one to call the shots, instead of depending on what GM is willing to present. For example, if GM is not willing to pay more than $50 million for brand exclusivity, but three other manufacturers are all willing to pay $20 million each for non-exclusive car exposure, I'd know which choice I'd choose...
So yes, I do agree that there is a chance GM is no longer the dominant brand associated with TF's.

the only other color is yellow
and im just talking about there super cars that most likely go over two hundred miles per hour
red and yellow are the two main colors for ferrari lol
but i have seen silver ferraris also lol sooo it may be silver
dont get your hopes up to be hotrod or tracks
TRACKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CORVETTE
this movie better at least have the decepticon kill some autobots
