Transformers 3 Characters - Meet The Dreads

 

Leaked photos of Hasbros Transformers: Dark of the Moon on toy line bring out the robot mode of new characters known as the Dreads. Are they presenting similar racial pigeonhole issues as the Twins?

Many fans and moviegoers have a love-hate - mayhap more than of a like-hate relationship - with Michael Bays live-action adaptation of Transformers. With its sequel, Avenge of the Fallen, it got a lot worse and many of the problems were due to the abuse of the film's Cybertronian characters.


I'm not referring to the issue of characters following canyon, as they don't need to for a good Transformers movie to be made. It's because there were so many characters that never spoke, didn't have a name, and a pair (actually, twins) there were non only very controversial, but met the level of annoying that only characters such as Jar Jar Binks could attain. From the amount of new toys being added with Transformers: Dark of the Moon, fear is rising that Transformers 3 may be offering more of the same in that department.

While the infamously stereotypical Twins were expected to return for Dark of The Moon, Michael Bay quickly shot down rumors that the vehicles were patched on set, explaining that The Twins are not back for the third Transformers movie. We later were able-bodied to actually see them ourselves through some revealing set photos, so they will be back, likely (and hopefully) to bedestroyed off. They will of class have a different paint job for toy merchandising purposes.

Perhaps stepping in to take the space of the Twins,uming they do bite the bullet laser?, there is another set of triplets! We already know about the three well-armed Nascar vehicles known as the Wreckers, and now we're getting another set. The second triple-threat to be introduced in Transformers: Black of the Moon are called the "Dreads" and in keeping the tradition, these 3 similar vehicles will also seemingly follow a stamp in their design. Some images of the Decepticon SUV drones were leaked a while ago, but here are some new images of their toys picked up on by TFormers (hat tip to MovieWeb) which show their robot modes, so see for yourself:
