Vamphite of the Don Murphy Boards and Seibertron.com member SDL bring us some new spy photos from the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at Edwards Air Force Base, where shooting has resumed this past weekend.

The photos show the Transformers vehicles being transported, and we can clearly see Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide (behind Ratchet) the Chevrolet Beat and Trax, 2 Can-Am Spyders and a clear shot of the mysterious silver concept car (rumoured to be a new Corvette) seen in earlier spy photos.

Look behind Ratchet in the last 2 pics.... the second one you can see a smokestack... the last one you can see a bit of chrome form him under the truck lift....

I've just seen these on the allspark forums.

I've got to say I'm pretty pleased that we have finally seen Ratchet, and I can now rest in the knowledge that the writers haven't forgotten about him.

The small red car might be Cliff Jumper and the ugly green car might go for Skids or perhaps a Decepticon.

It's a crying shame the cmeraman couldn't have turned right after taking that first picture.....

There's more vehicles at this shoot......Wonder who or what they are?

If you remember the call sheet... it said that the Twins were at the Smithsonian shoot..... the green car was definately there... along with possibly the Traxx.

Ooh Cliffjumper, Wheeljack. And the green guy, well he is a little to bright, but could it be Brawn?

Please don't tell me the black 4 wheeler ATV is going to be Trailbreaker. Its so not him.

Anyway the new cars are looking pretty good.


Re: Set Photos from Transformers 2 at Edwards Air Force Base - New Vehicle Revealed! (749577)
Posted by Skowl on July 16th, 2008 @ 11:41am CDT

I wonder if these are all the cars used during this shoot? It's shaping up to be a big battle if Prime, Ironihde, Ratchet and three other Autobots are there.

And where the hell is Arcee? No spy pics of her yet at all! I find it hard to believe they would commission a guy to build a whole bunch of expensive, one-of-a-kind bikes if they were only going to use Arcee for the opening scenes they shot with her in Bethlehem...

Posted by Inevitable Betrayal on July 16th, 2008 @ 12:20pm CDT

What's so ugly about the green car? I kinda like it. Also, I think the apparent size difference between the two green cars is just because one's closer to the camera than the other. I can't really see why they'd want one to be bigger than the other.

I still don't like the Spyders, but it does look like they'll be popping up a good bit in the movie. Oh well.

I love the look of the shiny car!

When I first saw the transport trucks I thought for just a moment the Ultra Magnus rumors might be true, but they're apparently just mundane. Ahh, well...

I say the silver car is Jazz. Yes i still think he's coming back. The color looks identical to Jazz's in the first movie. And that kind of car fits his style.

The smokestackes aren't circumsized. It has been established before in a few other topics that pictures of prime being transported that the smokestack extensions are removed so they don't hit bridges or other underpasses as the truck is being transported. During filming, he'll have his full smokestacks.

Both the silver cars are the same car design... possibly a Vette concept...

[quote="7827737326":k3gbs6et]No one can tell me which vehicle we haven't seen before??[/quote:k3gbs6et]

This is the first clear shot we've seen of the silver concept car.

We've seen the Chevrolet Trax (red van/mini-SUV thing) and green Beat before. Both are confirmed Autobots, but we don't know who.

We've seen, of course, Ironhide and Optimus Prime before, but this is the first time we have confirmation of Ratchet's return.

We've seen the Can-Am Spyders (3-wheeled bikes) before but, as is probably the case with the Sector Seven buggies, they are probably only used as vehicles by the human soldiers, as was the case during the Pennsylvania shoots.

While it is clearer than the other shot we saw, these new ones are a much better view, especially since the one you linked to is in a paint booth and taped off.

i personally think the first view we saw is better, i think you get a better idea of the car when you can see the front of it rather than the profile. but either way, it's a kick ass car.

Wasn't it announced by SAAB that Wheeljack was going to be their SAAB Aero X concept car?


Re: Set Photos from Transformers 2 at Edwards Air Force Base - New Vehicle Revealed! (749825)
Posted by Skowl on July 16th, 2008 @ 5:03pm CDT

This concept car was also spotted, according to eye witness reports (no photos), during the Bethlehem shoot - the call sheet for which listed "Ironhide" "Arcee" "The Twins" "Audi R8" and "Stinger"

He's obviously not Ironhide.

Obviously not Arcee.

Obviously not The Twins.

Obviously not an Audi R8.

So he must [i:2jarvb3l]OBVIOUSLY[/i:2jarvb3l] be this character "Stinger" - which I hope is a placeholder name, because the Autobots don't need so many new characters. I rather they just slap an old, classic name on him that make him some creation by Bay and the writers... Silverstreak maybe?


Re: Set Photos from Transformers 2 at Edwards Air Force Base - New Vehicle Revealed! (749835)
Posted by primeoptimus on July 16th, 2008 @ 5:17pm CDT

if they are placeholder names, i bet jetfire is actually soundwave and stinger is blurr.
as for un-named characters,the trax could be trax(spelled differently for trademark reasons).
the beat would make a good brawn,the saab could be wheeljack,the twins could be, in my opinion twincast or twintwist and the audi r8 could be a stunticon.

Anybody notice how Ratchet's vehicle mode seemingly got shorter? He used to be almost as tall as Ironhide now he isn't.

They also talk about NEST vehicles. My guess is that at least one Autobot is one of them--the H4 maybe?

it seems the autobots might be split up in the sequel. BB with the trax, beat, corvette. Prime with ratchet and Ironhide, and the rest.


Re: Set Photos from Transformers 2 at Edwards Air Force Base - New Vehicle Revealed! (750269)
Posted by Kortex on July 17th, 2008 @ 9:46am CDT

Hod Rod??? Hum interesting... Perhaps it could be him... Only in a different color (like they ve changed IronHide s colors, Ratchet s... Even Prime s...) Point is, that car looks awesome and would definately fit Hot Rod s character as a young courageous flashy young Autobot Leader (if Prime dies and gives him the Matrix...like in the cartoons...) Anyway, I d rather it be Hot rod than Wheeljack cuz wheejack s character fits more the AudiR8 car... Yep, but I ve eard rumors about a Stinger new character... Could be him too.. Damn I cant wait to see this movie!!!! Hope the twins are Cliffjumper and his ''new reveiled'' twin brother...


Re: Set Photos from Transformers 2 at Edwards Air Force Base - New Vehicle Revealed! (750298)
Posted by Skowl on July 17th, 2008 @ 10:31am CDT

I hope they don't waste this nice car on some new character. I didn't mind them bringing Barricade as a new character in TF1 since he was cool, but they have to at least leave room for some classic characters - especially for the Autobots who have, arguably, a larger amount of classic characters to chose from.

I don't like the way the Autobot cast for the sequel is shaping up. The Beat and Trax may be new characters, the Corvette thing may be a new character, "Wheels" (unless they make him Wheelie, which would kind of make sense) - already that's four out of the five (or six if you count Jetfire) confirmed Autobots that are new characters!

So is Arcee going to be the [i:2mwh3lox]ONLY[/i:2mwh3lox] TF2 Autobot with previous incarnations?

Ratchet is exactly the same, and so is Ironhide. Ironhide's vehicle mode is a mammoth of a truck (GMC Topkick). This is truly one of the few vehicles that you can sit in and look down on an H2 (which is what Ratchet is).

W00t Cliffjumper and Wheeljack, yes! Also Landmine that is a really nice figure, good to see Michael Bay is putting him in there. I am wondering though if he will actually be called Landmine. He might call him Hound or Beachcomber as those are genuine G1 names.
