Audi R8 Robot Revealed?

Another robot design revealed, joining Stinger and the Trax. Same source, same small blurry style images. There is a definite Decepticon aesthetic going on with the robot design. Thanks to Dan and Thomas for the link.

  1. This new one looks like Barricade, well SIMILAR anyhow.

    Reformat maybe?

  2. I think this one could be a rip, i agree it looks too similar to barricade, but then again could be wrong lol

  4. We still don't know what happened to "Barricade". Maybe he went off and got a new form and became the Audi R8? anybody care to think of that? instead of saying "he looks too much like barricade" etc.. why not take a minute, let the grears in your head start up and think "HOLY HELL IT MIGHT BE BARRICADE IN A NEW FORM!!!"

    "I think this one could be a rip, i agree it looks too similar to barricade, but then again could be wrong lol"

    could be a rip? why? ever think it could be barricade?

    use your brains once in a while

  5. I'm so glad to read this post and find that other people are thinking the same as I am...

    I severely hope it's Barricade! *eg*

  6. I think you might be looking at shockwave, if this is, indeed, a real bot mode.

  7. It is possible that Barricade did recive a new form.Also if this is real he looks good as an audi r8.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Dunno if its a new form for Barricade..definitely looks a bit like him. But for sure it is the R8..the chrome fuel door can be identified on the right door..very characteristic.

  9. I don't think it's Barricade, or any Decepticon for that matter. I mean, think about it. It's an R8, Decepticons are usually Military or Authority vehicle's.

  10. That's just weird. An Audi R8 is not the same size as a Saleen, it's definitely smaller. Have you guys actually stood next to an Audi R8, because I have at last year's SDCC when Audi hosted the R8 for the world to see. It's smaller.

    The robot form is totally Barricade, or maybe lifted from the concepts from TF1 or revised concept for TF2.

    I kinda wish that if you're gonna do a leak, do a proper leak without these silly crappy half-assed pictures.

  11. looks a lot like barricade... the hands, with wheels that can possibly become spikes. the feet, definitely barricade's... perhaps he becomes an R8, which is a cool idea imho :)

  12. To me, it looks like barricade, but the pic is too small to tell and the car mode is silver and the bot mode is black. That doesn't make sense at all.

    ReplyDelete
  13. That robot mode is from a R8 for sure. If it is supposed to be Barricade or not i don't know but it does look like him.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I still think this is barricade,I mean think about would Bay really make clones of other transformers...Well maybe if the buget was low,But still you should not do that in this movie that is the only exception if the buget was low.

    ReplyDelete
  15. i dont think its barricade since i saw some pictures of barricade and prime in the filming lots.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Whoops! That last comment I made was in NO WAY an attack on this great TF Blogspot dude! haha I meant that towards whoever originally supplied the original crappy thumbnail pics. :) Apologies~!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think it is very possible it could be Barricade, because he would have to remformat, because the rest of the Autobots already would know what he looked like.

    But... Something's just not right about it. I don't know what it is, but I don't think the Audi will be Barricade in the end.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thats definitely a Decepticon but its not Barricade.

    If you check out the movie toys Bumblebee basically looks the same as Cliffjumper ( only diff color ) & Jazz looks like Smokescreen.

    Besides, whats wrong with having a Decep taking the form of a fast car?

  19. In Reign of Starscream #1 Barricade was shown to have been forced head on into a bridge support by Ironhide during the freeway chase. He was damaged but not dead and after recharging Starscream told him to continue to monitor the Autobots

  20. I'm excited to see the Audi R8 is in Transformers 2. I fell in love with that car when it appeared as Tony Stark's ride of choice in Iron Man. :)

  21. Ummm..First time i saw this pic I imediatly though it was Barricade without a dough! Seriusly look at him! And it makes a lot of sense him changing his form so that the autobots don't recognize him (his more than meets the eye ;))...but something isn't right here...it's not the color, the robot form pic isn't black its a grey....its not those wing thingys on his back, its not his strange legs....something here is truly wrong...this just sems to good to be true....maybe a false leak Bay did just so we wont have any idea of what the plot really is....we never going to be shore until we have actual confirmation that this is barricade or a new transformer...or maybe just some well made fan art.

    P.S. You guys wont believe me if i told you who the Twins are...no they aren't the ice cream truck....BAys probably laughing at this very moment...we'r so far away from the truth...

  22. I think its probably an early sketch of Baracade. The same probably holds true for the "Stinger"-transformer, who I believe is an early sketch of Jazz. The similarities are just too big, and even though it is possible that Baracade takes on a different alt-mode, I think it would probably be easier to keep him the same. I mean, why would he?

    ReplyDelete
  23. it sucks!!!...

    ReplyDelete
  24. "I think it would probably be easier to keep him the same. I mean, why would he?"

    Maybe because, everybody now knows how his atl mode looks like, and they could spot him form miles away? ;P

  25. I feel that the mystery of Barricade's whereabouts (one of the flaws of the TF1 script)just might be answered with this particular bot. Maybe just maybe, Barricade scanned this as a new alt mode, as the bot mode looks WAY TOO MUCH like Barricade not to be him. Then again, this picture is blurry, and we can't blow it up to see the exact head and face, so we don't know for sure yet.

    As far as Dan Orris's comments are concerned: Yes, it is true that the Decepticons are mostly military vehicles due to their warmongering nature; HOWEVER, have we forgotten about the Stunticons, and other vehicle modes that the Decepticons used? I mean, if an alien war-mongering robot is trying to take over the world's energy and use it for that world's destruction, why would the Decepticons stop at only scanning military vehicles? Wouldn't they also scan other types of vehicles, as well as appliances to further infiltrate the society of the world they wish to conquer and subdue? To me, it would seem to be a logical progression, and I hope that we see the Stunticons in a future TF film. That would be cool!

  26. i realy do like the R8 great car.
    but i do not trust the robot alt mode to be the R8 just posible that it is an eurly scetch of baricade.

    its a nice and great idea that baricade turns into the R8 to spy on the autobots.
    i believe that baricade will return in this next movie and hope he kicks ass too. lol

    i trust that micheal bay that this wil be a great movie.

    and what about scorpanock ???
    where did he go to he didn't die just by loosing his tail.

    P.S.
    just hope that bay keeps using more great cars like the R8

  27. After careful consideration... I am tempted to call BS on this picture. It just doesn't feel as authentic as the other ones posted. Source the same or not... It looks like it could have been made by a very clever fan.

  28. Holy s*** Devastator in RotF!

  29. To the third comment, i do use my brains, but you can't believe everything you see just yet..maybe it is barricade, maybe it's not. Like i DID say i could be wrong

    ReplyDelete
  30. Don't think it is barricade his police alt mode was spotted in march for filming unless he changes but I doubt it

    ReplyDelete
  31. just read over on TFW2005.com that devastator (the combiner!!) has been confirmed for TF2: RotF

    HOLY HELL!!

    and also that the previously leaked long-haul design is also legit.

    my question here is that... if all true, how the hell can the Autobots compete?? I mean it sounds like the only chance they might have is if Metroplex is brought in (imagine that!!!!)

    with devastator the scale of this movie is gonna be one of the bigest ever... possibly bigger that king kong.

    i can't see how any autobot would be able to overcome devastator (who will have to be renamed due to the balls-up in TF1... he should have kept the name Brawl)

    Here's hoping Bob Orci & Alex Kurtzman might do another Q&A on Yahoo somewhere like they did for TF1.. confirming some, if not all, characters (not even desperate to know alt modes yet). though if characters are confirmed/revealed then that might go some way to confirming somne story/plot points

  32. does anyone want to even consider the possibility that this could infact be prowl, and barracaid was just a cover?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I don't think it makes a LICK of sense to think that Prowl would have been Barricade AT ALL. Unless he isn't partial to the Autobots himself, and was looking for the cube for himself undercover. Why would he fight Bumblebee and endanger the humans by releasing Frenzy on them like that? Or chasing them down for what looked like hours in a high speed chase.

    This whole Prowl = Barricade totally blows me away! How can it make ANY sense from a logical standpoint!? I know the movie wasn't rife with intellect but this is a real low level of stupid plot holes if it's the case.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Cool....!!

    Could this be Shockwave?!
    Only one red eye....
    Would be cool!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. some wild thoughts. Maybe this is Barricades twin. It was said the icecream truck wasnt the twins en i dont see de chevys be the twins.

    so maybe barricade and this car are twins as bots?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh S*IT!!! The devastator news is the best news evahh!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wonder if Bay will put "Dare to be stupid" in this movie. It's not a transformers movie without weird al in it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. i dont believe the concept art to be of the Audi R8...it looks likes the SR71 Blackbird (Jetfire) to me...the two sails that he has on his back...look like a split nosecone of a plane...just a thought...

    ReplyDelete
  39. I have no idea, who that Audi R8 Decepticon is. And everyone about Scorponok I'm sure that in Revenge Of The Fallen movie he will sacrifice himself to awake Megatron. The hint of it is that Megatron's new tank mode and Scorponok's scorpion mode are very similar. I don't believe that in this movie will be Allspark fragments like somebody think that.

  40. In fact at first sight I have fallen in love with priston tale Money.
