One of Seibertron.com's members spotted the Sector Seven “Mobile Command Unit” at Cinema De Lux in Los Angeles today. The public was allowed to enter the command unit, where they received a surprise look at several Transformers scenes.

Description from Seibertron.com member, Erin:

Basically you go in and three Sector Seven guys that look like secret service agents start briefing the group about "NBE"s. (Non-Biological Entities or Transformers). All the walls have screens and cameras showing profiles of Bumblebee and Barricade. Sort of like a spy van.

We were assured we were in no danger but that we had been contained for further evaluation. As they were 'questioning' us, we suddenly received a satellite feed from Qatar. A nerdy looking commander says there has been a confirmed disruption in the desert. The satellite feed was actually about a ten minute clip from the movie showing the scene where Scorponok kicks ass in the desert. Then afterwards they kicked us out of the truck and told us the information we had seen was classified and we would be prosecuted if we told anyone what we saw in Qatar.

Kind of wacky, but totally fun. The truck is supposed to make a few more surprise stops in LA this weekend.
