A "real" version of Tony Stark's car in the second Ironman movie. In my opinion an even better version.

I think this might be a Prowl, but with its futuristic, silver design... mmh, we have many, many options.
The best reasons for Prowl:

1) One of his earlier cars was a Honda Acura RSX (and Datsun280ZX, Nissan 350Z). This might be a "slight" upgrade, but why not?

2) The V at the front. It could be seen as his characteristic chevron. The same with those doors, aren't they made to be doorwings?

3) Further, the whole design is sharp and sleek, this car isn't really a brute, but still serious and should be taken as a formidable opponent. More likely it hids a certain intelligence...

4) And indeed it is. Prowl's inbuilt surprise is a battle computer, this car's that it's based on hybrid-power



The design-draw is a bit darker, then the actual car. But it shows and highlights this cars characteristic.

Oh yes, I can totally see that - though I have to admit that I would miss his typical police car design... On the other hand... the guys from 'Alarm für Cobra 11' drive the hot stuff all the time, don't they? XD

Oh yes :) I would miss his police car design as well, but after barricade had this in the baymovies I wanted to find something different for him.
:D Yep, all the "cool" police cops nowadays don't drive police cars. So why not Prowl? ^^

I know, but Barricades design let to an interesting movement in fandom where the writers speculated that he was, in fact, Prowl... I really liked some of those FFs.

[silberstreif.livejournal.com]

Oh I did as well. And the fics that speculated that they were twins or creator/creation were very enjoyable as well. ^^ Sometimes I love the movements of the fandom.
Still, I keep hoping that Prowl comes in one of the next TF movies. After all Bay wants to do 3 more <.< I needs more bots.

He wants to do another re-start of the franchise, right? I really hope this time Bay will give us likable human characters and more story, as well as less special effects!

[silberstreif.livejournal.com]

Less special effects and more story? You're a very optimistic person. It's Bay. ;)
But at least with the humans I share your hope. It seems that the main aspect will be more on family (military father and a daughter?) than love-story.

I know, I'm hopeless XD And I would really welcome a story without the 'mandatory' lovey-dovey stuff. I wonder why Hollywood can't tell stories without it anymore...

No idea. :/ Probably because it sells. But it gets boring... I have to admit that's one attraction of the Marvel movies. Oh sure, they often have a romance, but one CAN ignore it.
