A set of 11 videos from the Bethlehem Steel works set have been posted by YouTube user RodrigoNJ, in an obscure vertical format they show helicopters flying in to the location, filming, Michael Bay and most importantly, the two halves of the ice Cream truck split up, driving and spinning around independently!
This was previously reported on via the leaked Call Sheet, but never confirmed:
The scene breakdowns also reveal that the Icecream truck is a new robot — splitting in two (”twins”) around children whilst leaving them treats (comedy is back, excellent!).
PhillyFilmGirl is back with her next video; this time the discussion revolves around whether or not a pole is a placeholder for a robot during preparation for a nighttime ally shoot in what will be Paris:
A reliable source that has proved correct in the past has provided some information concerning the G1 combiner Devastator robot to TFW2005:
Devastator details
- Seven construction vehicles merge to form Devastator
– Devastator has lots of upper body strength, like a gorilla
– Not just green, some of the vehicles are red and yellow
– The previously Long Haul concept art by Josh Nizzi is legit
Quite frankly, something of this size and complexity would be both awesome and epic.
TLAMB raise some very valid points which put this news into doubt, and why I cannot report this as a confirmation. Specifically — we have not seen any construction vehicles during filming, a toy that is created from more than 5 parts presents a difficult engineering task for Hasbro — something that will be more expensive “than the $25 sweet point”. They also stipulate that given Prime’s height of 35 feet, the size of an average construction vehicle, this robot could reach up to 80 feet in height.
… then removed at the request of paramount pictures.
Members on TFW2005 were treated to several blurry and small images which revealed the designs of both altmode and robot mode of the Chevy Trax, Corvette Centennial and Audi R8.
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.”
PhillyFilmGirl is back again with her next video of a Transformers 2 scene. Spoilers below!. This comes via TLAMB:
This scene shows Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBoeuf) on the phone to Mikaela explaining about his grandfather’s quest to the arctic, how he saw Megatron and how weird things happened to him (“seeing crazy symbols”) — things that have since begun happening to Sam — reading a 930 page book in 30 seconds.
The video very helpfully has subtitles:
Since posting this video, PhillyFilmGirl has also filled in some of the plot details that she has discovered concerning Sam’s lightning fast book reading skills:
–he gets some sort of a box, he touches it, it zaps him
–all of a sudden in class (which is a large lecture hall) he goes crazy saying whats wrong in the book and drawing symbols all over his notes and on the board
–i myself have held and seen the astronomy book, its pretty big
–he calls mikaela freaked out, thats where the video comes in
–from there, he tells her on the phone in another location, ‘dont touch the box’ so i guess thats what did it to him
–then he draws a lot of symbols and i guess it leads him to the final battle and drawing symbols
he also meets another girl, alice who turns out to be evil and is trying to get all up on him at a party, bumblebee crashes the party and here is the conversation sam has with a frat brother
“hey freshmen!” frat bro
“yea?” sam
“is that ur car parked there?“
“what car?“
“the yellow one on the bushes“
“oh my friend just went to get u a tighter shirt“
“there is no tighter shirt i checked and you dont have any friends…say how about if i park my foot up ur ass!“
“what size shoe are you?“
“10”
sam then stumbles on some bushes outside the party, gets in the car with alice (that girl i mentioned)
bumblebee doesnt like her (hence that video with the spinning stop we saw), she gets out with goo on her because of bumblebee
then later alice is seen in a courtyard all meniacle looking after some sort of explosion and the trio are running from her
oh yea, he gets a new roomate at college and his name is leo — leo knows or figures out about transformers and they basically kill that new saturn…i think it gets split in two and placed up high on a ledge in a warehouse/factory place, and theres explosions
thats some of what i know happens, hope that helps, this is all the truth
the parents are in france…something bad happens there they all observe a tv in a open air market and people are crying (an old woman is even wearing a biret), a building collapses, and people are fleeing from it and then we see a transformer in france hunting down the parents or protecting them, i dont know
shia gets strangled by megatron too…we will see megatron’s hand strangle him
