New Transformer motorcycle film character spied

One of the Transformers film's robots morphs into a motorcycle, but can you guess which one?

Transformers motorcycle ... does your Buell do this?

THE first Transformers film was a riot of metal and mayhem (apparently) but while there were cars, planes and trucks all morphing into warring robots, there were no motorbikes in there.

Well, until now, shooting for the second film in the series is underway and animation designs and plans have leaked out showing the new character Acree – a fighting robot that morphs from, what else, a 2006 Buell Firebolt.

Also snapped on site is a three-wheeled Spyder with a couple of stuntmen onboard.

Hmmmm, many would say that the Firebolt already looks like something out of a Transformers movie anyway. Not sure about the pink scheme though.

Lies... Arcee is rumoured to be a 'combiner', constructed from three Can Am Spider's ridden by holographic females...

The original cartoon Arcee was female (if robots can be female).  Looking at the body shape and pose, this is still evidently the case, and explains the pink colour!
