Transformers 3 Mercedes Benz E550 Named?

[Peter_Van]

Could Nelson have revealed another name of new robot in Transformers 3? Nelson posted an image of the Mercedes Benz E550 on Michael Bay's official website Shoot For the Edit. On the Flickr stream hosting the image, the caption reads, "Mercedes E550 'Q' on the set Transformers 3 in Chicago, Il." Could the Einstein-looking robot be a tribute to the dearly-departed gadget guru from the 007 series? Read the Full News Story Here

I'm sticking with Wheeljack no way they would call that one Alpha Q or just Q

I'll agree on the Alpha Q bit. Everyone'd end up doing a double take and going "Did they just say what I think they said...?" but I think it'd be fine if they used 'Q', if it's meant to be a (not so subtle?) nod to the James Bond character.

Thats a pretty bad name.

Quintesson?

Im just throwing it out there, but, could the Mercedes be Silverbolt? I don't recall ever seeing any pics for Silverbolt. Especially his alt mode. Who says that it has to be a plane? Just a thought.

Shows my age. Everyone guesses Alpha Q and I'm thinking Hi-Q..

But Hi-Q was a Nebulon, so everyone's gonna jump to Quint reference.

 

I still think its a bad name.

what makes you think wheeljack?

 

probably the fact that his face looks nothing like wheeljack..

or his alt mode is nothing like wheeljack..

his colors are nothing like wheeljacks..

his personality looks like it'll be nothing like wheeljacks..

 

well.. seeing the MO of G1 characters into movie characters.. i'd agree with you lol.

A lot of that could be said about Ratchet as well.
