Seibertron.com's own Skowl has reported more information on the filming of Transformers. This time, he gives us information on filming taking place at the National Air and Space Museum in Dulles, Virginia. Here's what he had to report:

Bumblebee 08 Camaro was spotted by a passer-by outside the Air & Space museum, where filming for Transformers 2 is taking place this weekend.

See the report along with a blurry photo of the car in a parking lot by clicking here.

A user on Howdesign.com has also posted some pics from inside the museum, including a good look at the SR-71 Blackbird.

He will most likely pull a G1 where he was originally a Decepticon after The cons found him, but then converted to Autobot when he liked them better.

Who s the green car???? And I saw a pics on Transformers blog page that shows a white plane with a Autobots symbol on his tail.. probably Bay s private jet I guess.. hope cuz a N5400X plane would make an awfull Autobolt.. even for a Arialbots....

More pics:

http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/20 ... n-set.html

And I wouldn't get too excited, [b:86o4okke]the white plane with the Autobot symbol is Michael Bay's private jet.[/b:86o4okke] At least it looks like Bumblebee won't be changing alt modes after all!

its really amazing that fans from all over the country sneak around the movie sets snagging pics for all of us to see.....i think this kind of fandom and internet stuff is more fun then the actual movies...i really love logging on and seeing this shit...thanks to all those cool dudes who detectify this flick.....PS bay must actually be a pretty big fan of the transformers to put that logo on his own personal jet...thats pretty rad

Whats with the light green mini SUV? Is it "springer"?

Anyway, Yesss to bumblebee camaro--I like the new rims actually.

Posted by Kortex on June 7th, 2008 @ 11:13pm CDT

That green modified suv-van could make a good alt mode for Cliffjumper.. since it s a small vehicule and it kinda fits its G1 character... but I hope its not cuz I rather see Wheeljack, Mirage, Trailbreaker, Bluestreak, Smokescreen or even HotRod in TF2 before Cliffjumper... and since they have 10 autobots and we now know that Arcee is in and Jazz is back plus this ice cream truck (wack)... it doesn t leave alot of spots available...

The Blackbird looks ace. The lighting set up looks stellar. That will come out so well on film.

Just left of the 'A' key on your keyboard is the capslock button. Hit it and it'll solve that little problem you've got going there. Or perhaps the one below it, the shift key is stuck?

I'm wondering if Jetfire is just a code name for that SR jet. I'm wondering if they are going to it something else, like Skywarp or something.

I agree. Personally i think most of the info we've heard so far has been a bluff or codename.

The green car behind Bumblebee is a 2009 Chevy Beat - don't know if it's actually a TF or not...

Actually he was spotted on set somewhere but I forget where. Thus people have been speculating he may return.

The green car is most likely a transformer. If it was not why would they bother trying to cover it up?

at first i thought wow how stupid never never...but then it would tie up a loose end being that we never saw what became of those alspark created bots.

Awesome pics! What I wanna know is what is this guy? I zoomed in close on it:


[img:1j2whf2c]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b333/Duchess_Lucrezia/notbee.jpg[/img:1j2whf2c]

Since when did Bee have that black piece on his front bumper? I mean, he has Bee's stripes, but the light shape is different too. Did Bee get a modification? I'm curious what's goin' on there :D Compare it to this:

[url=http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2649304630050009453MWImRP:1j2whf2c][img:1j2whf2c]http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/62/62/3/4/63/2649304630050009453MWImRP_th.jpg[/img:1j2whf2c][/url:1j2whf2c]

I'm glad at least to see that Bee is still a Concept Camaro from the other pics :grin: I love that car.

that blurry pic looks like the green SUV is right next to BB and looks to flashy just to be a back ground vehicle!

Going off the steel mill cast list the most logical guess for the green car is that it is springer! wether its a cover name who knows???

so as it stands there cant be too many autobots left to reveal:

prime, BB, ironhide, ratchet (provided he's in it coz no reports yet but dont see y he wont be) arcee, springer, vanilla twins (icecream truck)

so 7 almost guarenteed autobots and if its 10 on each side only 3 spaces to fill asuming they class the twins as 1 and not 2 characters!

who will be the lucky robots eh?????????

(FYI i didnt include that wheel bot as it maybe like a remote controlled vehicle and not an actual tf)
