Pictures of the Transformer robots whilst in alternative mode, aka vehicular form. Pictures include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jetfire, Ironhide and the unknown Chevy Trax, Chevy Beat, mysterious silver car thought to be a Chevy Stingray and the Ice Cream truck.
An Anonymous source has sent Seibertron a set report from the Boneyard along with a few images of the vehicles in storage showing the Chevy Volt and Chevy Centennial.
Dear Seibertron.com,
Me again - I have some follow-up information concerning the “Bumblebee Sighted” article that you previously posted. I visited the 309th AMARG again today for their last day of filming; and let me tell you, it was busy. Lots of new photos, including a bumper shot of ‘Sideswipe’ and a little snippet of a picture of what I believe to be the blue Chevy Volt (however, during the time I was present this vehicle was never actually taken off the trailer; neither was Sideswipe to my knowledge). No pictures of Shia or Megan; but, as I was informed by plenty of soldiers (concerning Fox, anyways); the two were definitely on set. I apologize for some of the pictures that came out somewhat small and rounded; I actually had to snap those certain shots through a pair of binoculars. Ironically enough, the pictures I took of Bumblebee (yellow 2009 concept Camaro) and the red and green Chevy Trax & Beat (the ‘Twins’, I think?) were actually on my way off the set. Lucky me!
Something else I don’t know if you would be interested in or not - but I’ll add it on here anyways, just in case. The scene that I witnessed them filming consisted of a long, large sheet of metal (maybe a cover up for something of some sort?) being stood up by the side of one of the planes in The Boneyard, and lots of loud gibberish shouting coming from what I believe to be one of the transformers. Keep in mind this scene was watched from about 200 meters away - but why I think its important is because of the loud, booming voice we heard from over 200 meters away. We couldn’t make out what he was saying; but what we could identify was that it was male, and very Decepticon sounding - meaning a very deep, baritone sort of sound to it but with a sharp, manifestly evil edge. In my own opinion (and those of all of the soldiers that accompanied me on the “tour”) this was the voice of Megatron - definitely evil, definitely loud. Then again, it could have been that ‘Jetfire’ character that I’ve heard a little bit about - the plane where the sound originated from wasn’t the exact aircraft he’s been described as, but then again I wasn’t up close and personal with it so it’s a tough one to call. Alas, I wouldn’t be surprised if this mysterious voice did belong to Megatron - had a sort of, feel to it, you know?
Something like, “Damn, that guy is pissed.”
Megatron or not, whoever’s voice that belonged to definitely wanted some sort of Revenge
Well, that’s all the news I have so far. If I hear or (hopefully) see anything else concerning Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen; I’ll be sure to update you guys!
At long last the name of the Transformer with an alt mode in the shape of a Chevy Beat has been revealed, “Skids”. Te discovery was made via Jalopnik and the pictures they received showing Bumblebee the Beat and the Trax at the Boneyard, the name is on the registration plate.
Filming is currently based at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, Tucson, Arizona. It is basically a storage facility for out of service military aircraft and is being used as the set for - the boneyard.
There are reports of the bumblebee being spotted, check out the pictures posted on Seibertron and Superherohype.
Dee has sent TLAMB this shot of the Chevy Corvette and Volt in White Sands, taken on a cell phone. After the scenes on Queensway bridge and subsequent official statements, it was thought that the Volt was not an autobot - however, if this was the case, why paint it in such a brilliant purple/blue and transport it to White Sands, which is the movie equivalent of Egypt!?
TLAMB’s Anonymous source that provided a set report has returned with the promised pictures of Bumblebee, Ratchet, Optimus Prime and Ironhide. None of the new autobots were on show however.
The set report:
- The core cast is at the location, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson
- Today they shot a fight scene at a desert set similar to one from the first movie.
- Extras on set comprised of various needs including a “Strike Force” and Jordanian soldiers.
- Heard rumor that Julie White and Kevin Dunn (Sam’s parents) where also on the White Sands set.
- Additionally heard that TF2 may film in Ruidoso which is about 30 minutes from Alamogordo. Ruidoso is in the mountains surrounded by a dense forest.
TFormers have posted four images showing off what looks like Megatron’s rumored Tank Alt Mode. It’s a rather obscure looking tank with large yellow thrusters at the rear, large central cannon, possibly some firearms on the side of the vehicle as well, and Megatron’s big ugly head peaking out from the Tank’s crotch.
The next rumored stop for the Transformers 2 filming crew is the Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range in Alamogordo, New Mexico. These rumors have been reinforced atfter Optimus Prime and a hummer were spotted near to White Sands.
One report states:
” I did see Optimus Prime and that Hummer this afternoon around 12:15 pm going past White Sands Missile Range, NM heading towards Holloman AFB. I didnt get any pics I was driving in the opposite direction.”
As part of the promotion for the new Transformers DVD releases, Walmart has a new flash section on their site that is promising to release new, official, behind the scenes footage from Transformers 2. A new video will be added each week.”Have fun, keep it safe”. The first video is set at the Bethlehem Steel works and is titled “On the set: Day 1″. This is our first look at the motorbikes and their crazy color schemes - bright pink, purple and blue - we see them speeding past us as an Audi R8 skids out of the way. We also see a large group of soldiers with an assortment of weapons, some carrying Mini guns and of course, there is another big explosion!
Mini gun…
More explosions:
To access the videos on Walmart you need to insert the code AllSpark62609 in the box.
Here’s a reference image of some Arcee concept art:
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.
