Braden has returned to get more shots of Opti­mus Prime and Bum­ble­bee in action, this time with a short video. The images clearly show that Bum­ble­bee has under­gone some mod­i­fi­ca­tions, with a wider front grill, new lights and rims — reported to be a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. There is also spec­u­la­tion that ceme­tery film­ing means some­body impor­tant that we know dies in the course of the film.

Saab His­tory are report­ing that the Saab Aero-X con­cept car will be used in the Trans­form­ers sequel as the alt ver­sion of Wheel­jack. Given that Gen­eral Motors are pro­vid­ing the cars for the movie it is highly prob­a­ble that this rumor shall unfold to be true.

Thanks The Missle!

John Von reports that a video shoot took place yes­ter­day at the Lau­rel Hill Ceme­tery near to Fair­mount Park, PA — he return with videos and pic­tures of the film­ing as well as the base camp. The green Chevy Beat con­cept car is vis­i­ble at the base camp, whilst the video shows the heli­copter used to cap­ture the scenes.

Trans­form­ers 2 pro­duc­tion cur­rently resides at The Dairy Fields in Fair­mount Park, which are reserved for film­ing. Braden has been on loca­tion, scout­ing for us fans, to find what­ever scoops he can. He has noted that the actor trail­ers and cam­era equip­ment can be found off North 33rd street, close to the UPENN cam­pus. The vehi­cles how­ever are being kept in a sec­ond loca­tion, close to Walt Whit­man Bridge.

On his stum­blings he came across Opti­mus Prime, Iron­hide, Bum­ble­bee, an uniden­ti­fied grey con­cept car — prob­a­bly a Chevro­let (ZR1, C7?). You can find pic­tures below.

KVIA are report­ing that the Trans­form­ers pro­duc­tion team will return to Alam­ogordo, New Mex­ico where pro­duc­tion has been prepar­ing since April, with plans to shoot in the fall.

Michael Bay will return to New Mex­ico to film major sequences for Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen, Gov­er­nor Richard­son announced Mon­day. The next install­ment of the box office hit Trans­form­ers is expected to hit the­aters next summer.

Power​.tv were on loca­tion to catch Michael Bay, Shia and Megan Fox strut­ting their stuff in a cou­ple of scenes, although there’s noth­ing too spec­tac­u­lar here.

Finally I got to where the action was, and of all places it was Cappucelli’s Meats (a butcher shop). As you can see the crew was tak­ing up a whole block on Kim­ball St. between 8th & 9th. I saw a few extras walk­ing the same path over and over and over and the same 4 or 5 cars kept dri­ving by. Took me a few min­utes to real­ize though that the scene they were shoot­ing was inside the shop, and the extras and cars were just back­ground to be seen through the windows.

Philly​.com have pointed out that the Trans­form­ers II pro­duc­tion team will very soon be start­ing their work in and around Philadelphia,

Keep an eye out for Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox and John Tur­turro over the next two weeks as Michael Bay puts Trans­form­ers 2: Revenge of the Fallen before the cam­eras in Philly, start­ing tomor­row. Among loca­tions: Peco [Philadel­phia Elec­tric Com­pany] plants along the Delaware, the Uni­ver­sity of Penn­syl­va­nia (because LaBeouf plays a col­lege stu­dent), and East­ern State Pen­i­ten­tiary. Last week’s shoot­ing in Beth­le­hem, Pa., was a blast, as the old U.S. Steel plant hosted explo­sions and whirring Black Hawk helicopters.
