Arcee - pink, purple, blue custom bike from RetroSBK

Archee's holographic driver ?



Arcee?


"The photo above gives you an idea of what Arcee might look like in alt mode. Will Kenefick tells the Ventura County Star the he created six custom motorcycles (three hero bikes and three stunt bikes) for Transformers. This pretty much confirms that three motorcycles will combine to form Arcee." source: SlashFilm

The Twins - green Ice Cream Truck unknown type (alt mode unconfirmed)
Mentioned on call sheet for Bethlehem Steel :
"Ice Cream Truck splits around Chinese Kids. Leaves treats"
and "Ice Cream truck chase R8 thru alleys. Crashes. Splits in two. Twins fight"

So it looks like the twins fight at Bethlehem Steel and remain seperate as the red and green 2009 Chevy possibly ?.

Jazz - Yes it seems he may be returning in this film as a hardtop Pontiac Solstice GXP
Darius McCrary (the voice of Jazz) has been spotted on set.
Bay has said :
“No Jazz is dead,” and “We have way more cool robots to come.”
Bay later stated admitted that he has and plans to intentionally leak false information about the sequel. With this latest development, I think we just found the first official lie.
