Earlier this week, we reported that a cutout that appeared to be the head of Shockwave was spotted floating amongst the chaos that was TF3 shooting in Chicago. Now, flickr user jeeefer has posted some great new images of the filming in the city, mostly centering around the Wrigley Building. And mixed within the set: a picture of what is clearly a cutout of Soundwave's head. This apparently confirms that everyone's favorite Decepticon communications officer will make his way to Earth in TF3.

These images also highlight some great aerial stunts in the city along with some now familiar destruction on the streets.

At least he finally joins the fight!

How can you tell?...Bays characters have the same type of look

News Credits: 4 · Fri Jul 23, 2010 6:10 pm

Awesome! Good thing he doesn't just sit up there in orbit all forgotten!

Maybe the blue-screen foot belongs to him! :shock:

Cue new debate; will his Alternate Mode remain the same, or will he choose an Earth vehicle? :-B

(I haven't seen any evidence in the Chicago shooting to suggest he'll take on the latter, so I'll be saying the former for now!)

Agreed-they all look similar. But if you zoom in, it's pretty clear that it's Soundwave. If not, it's his twin.

And given that he was left in space at the end of the last movie, it make sense that he joins the fight this time around.

I just hope he's in the movie-not just get to Earth only to get killed immediately.

Finally coming to earth I see. Hopefully the toy of him will be better than the ROTF one. Mold and color wise.

I still say the big blue-screen foot belongs to an Aerialbot. Big tires like on a plane...

Big tires like on an airplane? That's not the first feature I think of when I think airplane.

Well, I guess this is a spoiler somewhat for the NEFARIOUS comic series than. Soundwave makes it through alive anyway.

I still say either military, construction, monster truck, or that the part is just some random shrapnel that looks like a leg.

Well I say that because they're too big for a semi. And I know a lot of people are hoping for the nascar's to combine, but I think they're are Autobots. Look at this video, they're are fighting along with the humans.

Well, you might be right. I was thinking those too but I guess we'll have to wait until there's a leak of the bot.

C'mon Michael Bay, give us a Soundwave that has an earth mode reminiscent to his G1 counterpart........ :PRAY:

Considering that Bay has consistently said that they're not going to do size changing, I doubt Soundwave will gain an enormous micro cassette recorder Earth mode...

I'm just hoping for some cool minions; Laserbeak and Rumble anyone?

Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:01 pm

Prime-Check

Bee- Check

Shockwave- Check

Soundwave - Check

Well with him confirmed, I only can hope we get laserbeak and or any more of soundwaves minions. Or soundwave Ends up landing and getting blown to bits, or has his face torn off....

Lets hope that doesn't Happen.

I am curious as to weather megatron and Starscream will be in this

Either way cant wait for the movie.

Groovey, they brought him back! Still, I was hoping for this NASA space battle between them and Soundwave. I would like if Laser Beak and Rumble joined, I just hope they don't eny up like Cyclops bots either.

Also, being Bay and some other guy said they had interest in Minicons early on, if a fuller more fleshed out version of the Insecticons will make an appearence.

Animated Soundwave was a Scion xB hatchback, not a van/minivan.

Spoiler. He did kill Prime, Megatron, Jetfire, Blackout, Brawl, Barricade, and Jazz. Anyone is fair game.

I doubt we will see any cassetticons except maybe Lazerbeak.
