Yeah, I'm not sure where TFW was getting Dirge from, unless they know something I don't. I just assumed that they were Acid Storm, Starscream, and Thundercracker. You could make the case for "Starscream" being Blitzwing and "Thundercracker" being Slipstream, but I'm going to go with what I think until proven incorrect

So just throwing this out there, wouldn't these designs already negate the first movie? That's obviously a G1 inspired Optimus Prime but when he hits earth in the 2007 movie, he certainly looked nothing like that at all. I guess it could be argued his form changed when he took on his interplanetary "protoform" mode but it was just thought I had earlier while at work. That "Acid Storm" there is reminding me of the US release of DOTM Air Raid. The green and white radar plane. I know he was an Autobot but he was marketed as one of the "ancient seekers" anyway. DOTM AIR RAID

Interestingly, if Green Boy there is Acid Storm, he's a conehead now If you look closely, you can kinda see how the "cone" is actually behind his head and not part of it. Also, until I see it in the movie, I refuse to believe that's actually Blitzwing. Knight's GOT to be bullshitting us.

Maybe they can work it in that is Starscream in disguise and what we see in the Bayverse movies is just Starscream's ghost spark possessing some crazy looking bulky triangle shaped bot with backward legs and a jet mode.

There are plenty of instances in canon where a Transformer takes a new name after some major event. I'm starting to wonder if this is the case here, that Blitzwing, after the events of the 'Bee movie, ends up getting renamed Starscream.

Here's a crazy theory...
They just showed off a Bumblebee movie Blitzwing toy at NYCC that was tan and olive green.
What if Blitzwing as he appears in the trailers is just a ruse, and he'll be digitally "repainted" in the actual movie leaving that one seeker on Cybertron with Shockwave as being Starscream? It's not like trailers and commercials showing us movie scenes that are vastly different from the actual on-screen final digital graphics is anything out of the ordinary these days.

Possible, but equally possible the toys and movie just contradict each other, as almost every film dating back to Galvatron in the original do. I'd prefer you being right though.

Early viewing reviews are coming in, with heavily positive trends. "Best Transformers movie ever" is getting thrown around a lot, so I'm kinda hyped for when open release hits in a couple weeks.
