Optimus Prime in Twisted Metal?

I just went to the official TM site:

The image that appears right after the Sweet Tooth picture, is that truck not Movie Prime?!

............ It does look like him.
If ever this happens best idea for cross-promotion ever.

Twisted Metal is pretty decent, but to have murderous Prime in there... straight to awesome-town

Darkside is a similar semi truck that been in Twisted metal for a few years. If you watch one of the beefier trailer you see that it may even transform in the new game...... But With some major differences to prime

Darkside doesn't transform. Sweet tooth does, as he did in twisted metal black. A new addition to this game is the ability to change the skins for each vehicle, that happens to be one that Darkside has which is similar to prime.

I never believed it was Prime -it's Darkside for sure - but that paint job on their official site is no coincidence. It screams Prime and there is no precedent for that in TM. Why would they do that I wonder? Darkside never looked like that. Will he transform though? I know Sweet Tooth was the one who did it in past games - but I get the impression that more cars transform in this new game - I could be wrong though. While seeing a robot Prime is unlikely, its still cool so see a vehicle skin like this.
