So this firetruck guy. . . .

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

So this firetruck guy. . . .

Am I the only one that sees that his shield is a giant Maximal symbol? See for yourself. Compare the shape of the shield he's holding to the old Maxi logo.

I can sort of see it, but I'm thinking it's more coincidence than design.

Not the random lines on the shield. The whole shield itself.

That's a reeaaaaaally big stretch. I don't think that's any sort of an homage. But that's a little bit like saying the letter A looks like a Starfleet logo.

Why is he blue?

Anyway, I can kinda see a similarity with the shield to the Maximal logo... But I doubt that was intentional.

Uh... Crossed wires? I'm asking what the lines are supposed to be. Sure, the shield kinda looks like the BM Maximal insignia. *shrug*

I can sorta see it, if you entirely ignore the bottom parts, but I doubt it's intentional. Especially since it's the BM Maximal logo, and Hasbro likes to pretend BM never happened.

Anyway, yeah, random blue Sentinel shoop, go! He does look okay there, kind of hope we get a repaint like that.
