We have a couple of "Transformers 4" Michigan filming updates to share. First, The Lansing State Journal is reporting possible filming on the decommissioned Coast Guard ship Bramble, which currently calls the Seaway Terminal home. Bob Klingler, the ships current owner, has been contacted by Paramount's production team about filming scenes on the ship. Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but we'll update when/if this materializes.

“We’ve been approached, and we sat down and talked, and we’re waiting for a decision,” he said.

“... If this Paramount Pictures thing comes and we get a call today, it’ll be a red-letter day. It’s such a historic and beautiful vessel. It’s just incredible.

Next, the Lenawee County's Daily Telegram reports that scenes will be filmed new the Fairfield Township on a section of M-52 between Weston and Mulberry Roads later this month.

Initially they were searching for a four-lane highway,” he said. They settled for the wide two-lane stretch of M-52 after no four-lane roads were available that could be closed for four days. The M-52 site also has the wheatfields they wanted for background

Many thanks to RE515TANT, who dropped by with some great images and a short video clip of the Rally Fighter vehicle from the "Transformes 4" filming in Texas. These images give us our best look to date at the vehicle, which has yet to revealed as a Transformer or human vehicle. Enjoy the embedded video and images below.

Special thanks to MacDogg for driving while I filmed.

Remember the rescue vehicle that was barely visible in this early group shot of the "Transformers 4" Autobots? A new image has surfaced on the image sharing site Gyazo that gives us a better look at the vehicle, which appears to be an ambulance. The obvious first thought is Ratchet sporting a alt mode and deco, but the vehicle's identity remains unconfirmed for the moment. Check out the image mirrored below:

Michael Bay Statement Regarding Transformers 4 Pflugerville, TX Fire

Those of you who have been keeping up with the "Transformers 4" filming news will recall there was a small fire on a filming location in Pflugerville, TX. The fire broke out in the attic of a 100 year old farm house, and there were some reports that it might have been the result of pyrotechnics that were being used during filming. The fire was quickly controlled and only one injury was reported. Apparently some of the various entertainment websites have really been blowing this fire out of proportion, enough so that director Michael Bay has issued the following statement regarding the fire:

Shooting of Transformers 4 is going great with Wahlberg and the new cast. We are having a great time in Texas.

I’m reading how the news makes everything more dramatic than real life. I guess the truth was just too unexciting. Yes there was a small smoldering fire at a house and no, no one was injured during the fire. And no, no one “just narrowly escaped” as the news dramatically states. A crew member though twisted his ankle after falling in a gopher hole on the ranch.

The fire was put out in a brief 15 minutes by a great fire crew on set. It was an attic fire and cause is unknown. No we were not shooting in the attic, we were shooting outside on the ranch.

A brief (seriously, like 10 seconds) video has been uploaded by YouTube user dawndee93 from the "Transformers 4" filming in Tyler, TX. The video features the two previously seen Rally Fighter cars being escorted by black SUV's, but the interesting part is the narration. The person taking the video, or someone nearby says, "That's Tyrese". Tyrese, who appeared in the previous movie trilogy, has been very clear that he would love to be involved in this film as well. Keep in mind we have no way of knowing if this was actually Tyrese, this is based on what was said in the video embedded below. If nothing else we get a quick look at the Rally Fighters!

The Taylor Daily Press have updated their facebook page with a gallery of images form the "Transformers 4" filming in Taylor, TX. We see Mark Wahlberg and director Michael Bay on set, and get our best look yet of the older model rusty cab over style truck, which features flames just like another truck in the movie franchise...........



















In other "Transformers 4" Texas filming news, a fire broke out at a location in Pflugerville. TMZ reports a fire broke out in the attic of a 100 year old farm house, possible started by pyrotechnics. Luckily local fire departments were able to save the structure, but there was significant damage to the attic. One civilian injury was reported.



Lastly, despite the suspicious #MeganFox hash tag that was attached to the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Coupe image posted on Paramount's official Instagram account, and the even more suspicious responses from Shoot for the Edit's admin nelson, he insists she will not be in "Transformers 4".

nelson wrote:He already said "No". But then people respond with "but that was in April!"

He could said No again today and tomorrow they'll be saying "well, that was yesterday".

BTW, I know he's to busy to address what I call a non-issue.

MicahaelBay.com has updated their homepage with an image of a Sonic RS Rally Car with the caption:

The Ultimate Sonic RS, just pure fun.

Another new Autobot? We know that Jack Reynor's character will be a race car driver, so maybe it just a human vehicle? Image mirrored below:

Speculation has run rampant regarding the identity of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700–4 since it's reveal late last week. Many have suspected that it could be a Stunticon based on vehicle mode and it's recent on set appearance with the older model cab over style truck, however Bay's camp seems to indicate the character is an Autobot. Sorry Stunticon fans.

Bay's official twitter account queried:

Why is everyone assuming the #aventador is a #decepticon ? #transformers #transformers4 #tf4
