It feels like a game of Burnout – 100 points for a Tanker… crashbreaker! This is a SECOND explosion, a chain reaction of sorts.

This is a down the road shot of an oncoming Tanker (seen here) that encounters the wreckage of the previous car explosion (High Res video of that blast showing car flip), and inevitably collides directly with it, exploding all over the place with a giant plumage of black smoke – setting car alarms off in the surrounding vicinity. More cussing again…

“That was awesome.”

Thanks for the heads up Robert. TLAMB also have some close up shots of the Tanker after its big scene:

Here are some more videos from the night. The first shows a practice run before the big explosion. The second comes from Gettodeath and is more of the Autobot parade. The last one is a low quality phone video of the bots being overtaken by a honking Chevy Volt.

This HD video comes in thanks to Edward, warning there is strong language, if some of you are sensitive to that sort of thing. This is the best close up video of the explosion yet:

Robert from Modern Myth has sent us this video showing the Autobot parade from higher up and a new purple car that is being prepared for filming before driving away, as the camera zooms in you can clearly see the Chevy’s “Volt” name on the rear.

This vehicle was previously confirmed in July. Though this one does look a lot more slick than the concept image.

(Video included after the break… it auto starts)

We knew that better footage of the explosion would be coming, and here it is, coming from fmd805 are three videos, the first shows the explosion from side on, the second shows the filming of the aftermath and the third is more of the autobot fleet:

The next video is by the ever reliable Gettodeath, via TLAMB, it warms up with some shots of Optimus Prime and down the road shots showing cars pulling away. It then cuts to a side angle which precedes an almighty blast:

These next images come via Slash Film’s Ricky C and TLAMB’s Gettodeath again – showing the fleet of autobots and some closeups of the explosion aftermath.

fq9 and Flickr user djlakitu have posted new images from the Long Beach Transformers set, this time showing more Chinese symbols, oriental police cars, dirty automobiles with furniture atop the roof, a crunched up taxi, the previously mentioned flatbeds (set report), assorted autobots (albeit undercover) and a tanker with two wholes cut out of the front and rear.

EDIT: A much better video of the Autobots “rolling out” has been provided thanks to R. over at TLAMB, this video shows Bumblebee, Optimus, the silver Corvette, Ironhide, the Chevy Beat and Chevy Trax all driving in formation:

Here is our first video of the explosions down on the Queensway in Long Beach, sadly it was captured on a phone camera and you need to tilt your head or rotate your screen to enjoy this one… . However, it does get the money shot – showing the explosion right at the beginning.

Explosions were promised, and Ranger565 (via TLAMB) has come back with his report which you can find below. Now all we need are some pictures and video…

OK Well I work in the area and they have the whole area set up to be China, as you guys know. Now I did see Prime, Bumblebee, the silver corvette, 2 blue cars (small) and Ironhide. All were parked on the back lot behind Catalina Landing!

The scene I witnessed was a traffic scene where they were driving down Shoreline Drive and then 2 flatbed Trucks merge into traffic. THEN BOOOM!!! One of the two trucks blew in half.

NOTE: The Autobots were not in the blow up scene. That’s it the stunt guys got out the cars and the Helicopter flew off. But man that truck blue the trailer hitch right off. Then I heard that it may not have gone according to plan. Both trucks were [supposed] to blow up.

Got pictures? Send them in!

Flickr user mylordsinuhe was on hand at the Queensway bridge in Long Beach last night to capture a shot of Optimus Prime:

Whilst fq9 visited the parking lot to grab images of Optimus covered up, also note the vehicle in the lorry on the right, click the image for a larger version:

The area is covered with E7 boards, the codename for Revenge of the Fallen, whilst Chinese sign posts have been put up in preparation for the movie shoot:

Thanks again to Bruxhina
