VW won't let them. A lot of Japanese and German car companies don't want their vehicles holding guns. Can't imagine why. Oh wait, those car companies have a naughty WW2 rap sheet. Ah...

Anyways, they wont let Hasbro use their likeness for toys or the movie. (There's a line of toys made a few years back with licensed cars...I think Optimus is a GMC truck, Grimlock is a Mustang, etc. There aren't any Misubishis or BMWs because they refused to sell the rights.) The exception is if the character doesn't hold a gun. So...which would you rather have?

At least time, we really can 'blame the Germans'.
