We saw the first pic­tures of the Chevy Trax dur­ing the film­ing on Front Street a cou­ple of days ago, but now we have some great video of them all in action, rac­ing down the street at high speed thanks to shiganamichick44:

These videos from EfraineQuinones firstly show the trio of auto­bots, Bum­ble­bee, Beat and Trax briefly in action — prov­ing they can cor­ner at slow speeds in new syn­chro­nized for­ma­tion. Ramon, Shia and Megan exit and head into the shop, before com­ing back out and glee­fully skip­ping down the road.

Looks like Shia LaBoeuf, Megan Fox, Bum­ble­bee, the Chevy Beat and the Chevy Trax turned up for film­ing at the East­ern State Penitentiary.

VDG was on hand to get images of the crew and auto­mo­biles turn­ing up, even get­ting close enough to cap­ture a shot of the rims on the Chevy Trax — show­ing a very nice Auto­bot logo in the cen­ter of the hub cap!

Faded Sil­ver Screen were also on loca­tion to cap­ture the vehi­cles com­ing and going on Fair­mount Avenue:

I couldn’t get inside the prison, or get any decent pic­tures but I watched them unload trucks for a while. They were tak­ing in lexan blast shields they put cam­eras behind when there is an explo­sion or sparks nearby. It seemed like an awful lot of sup­port trucks. Tons of light­ing and rig­ging. I would bet there will be some effect/pyrotechnics tak­ing place, con­sid­er­ing they’ve been prep­ping this for three days and the scope of the stuff they are tak­ing in.

Loren­z­tom has also got a cou­ple more shots of the Paris set at City Hall:

City Hall in Philadel­phia is mocked up to look like Ecole Mil­i­taire in Paris for film­ing which took place yes­ter­day. The set­ting for the scene is a hol­i­day for Sam Witwicky’s par­ents — Kevin Dunn and Julie White.

Video and pic­tures from Mia show Bum­ble­bee, the green Chevy Beat and red Chevy Trax in the area as well as a small explo­sion and panic in the square. If you scroll down you can see what seems to be an exten­sion of this, although tak­ing place at night, of con­tin­ued may­hem and run­ning — this time by Sam’s par­ents, who may or may not have been in the square at the time of the explosion:

Philly­Film­Girl also man­aged to get some can­did footage of Sam’s par­ents in an alley­way run­ning away from an explo­sion, surely with a robot CG’d in later amidst the flash­ing blue lights. The other video shows them run­ning down the alley with a teeny “Smart Car” hastily fly­ing past them — most likely flee­ing from the same thing, rather than being a robot.

On Wednes­day the vehi­cles of Trans­form­ers 2 were out and about in a chase scene on Front Street. Jalop­nik were on hand to snap a cou­ple of shots, show­ing Bum­ble­bee either chas­ing, being chased by or lead­ing the green Chevy Beat car we’d seen at Beth­le­hem, PA and under wraps in other locations.

They also got the first pic­ture of a new Auto­bot, a red Chevy Trax — (pos­si­bly the twin of the Chevy Beat?):

It is also rumored that the thrid of the new Chevy trio may turn up — the Chevy Groove:

Viva La France. As reported, the area sur­round­ing City Hall has been donned up to look like a sub­urb of Paris, com­plete with signs point­ing towards “La Tour Eif­fel” and French flags bil­low­ing (not that the French actu­ally put up flags all over the place, unlike the patri­otic Amer­i­cans). The Philly­ChitChat blog has cap­tured pic­tures of the set up and the newly added French flavour. Other signs state “Ecole Mil­i­taire”, which means Mil­i­tary Acad­emy and is a Paris Metro sta­tion. There is also a sec­ond report about the French café set.

Whilst at East­ern State Pen­i­ten­tiary, Cheese­burger, via TLAMB, reports that Cell Block 7 is being pre­pared for film­ing on Friday.

Fol­low­ing the reports of Bum­ble­bee being spot­ted at Rich­mond Power Sta­tion yes­ter­day, Ener­gonkid has pro­vided a shot of two Bum­ble­bees (Hero and Stunt), sit­ting side by site:

Mia has sent in via TLAMB some shots of Megan Fox and Ramon Rodriguez film­ing inside and with Bum­ble­bee. Until now Rodriguez has only been men­tioned in the call sheet — this is thought to be the first visual proof to con­firm the rumors. This was thought to be filmed on Sat­ur­day near to the Rich­mond Power Station.

EDIT: Now with video:

Zack­lur is back with more Trans­form­ers 2 pic­tures from the night of Bumblebee’s 180 degree skid; with fur­ther close up shots of Isabel Lucas (Alice in the movie), Michael Bay direct­ing and Shia LaBoeuf. This time we can clearly see the green goo on Lucas’ shoul­der — spurted from some unknown source.

Kendall White­house has also updated his Trans­form­ers 2 image set (View in slideshow)
