The Transformers 3 production filmed in Chicago's famous Loop last weekend, then at Milwaukee's Art Institute earlier this week, and is now back on Chicago's magnificent mile in front of the beautiful Wrigley building and on the Michigan Ave bridge across the Chicago river. I wasn't able to get as close to the action as I was last weekend so the video quality looks even more amateurish than normal. Pictures will be posted soon! In the meantime, here are some new videos which I uploaded to our Facebook page at http://facebook.seibertron.com.

I wasn't able to get as close to the action as I was last weekend so the picture quality isn't quite up to my normal standards.

Wut? Modern box trailer = G1?

I'm pretty sure most trailers look like that (to state the obvious) aside it's shininess. And Michael Bay seems to be convinced that his movies are still "realistic" so I doubt he'd be doing anything outrageous, as much as it would suit the rest of the movie.

And it's just a trailer. Heck we just saw prime rolling out without it just now. So chances are, it's been tipped over and Prime left it behind, or it got blown up. Either way, it's not going to have any greater role than carrying stuff around.

I'll second this idea for the next film! If they could bring back Scorponok for a few seconds in movie 2, why not bring back Barricade in movie 3 and give him an awesome fight scene? He deserves one!

I've wondered the same thing unless Ford doesn't want it to be featured in a movie with a bunch of GM products? There has to be some reason why he wasn't in the last movie and that no one has seen night or day of him here in Chicago with the other cars.

I remember when some images of that beat up old ice cream truck showed up last year and they got disregarded..This time around, seeing that nest logo on that trailer..Goose bumps did ensue..hey we can wish can't we

This would make a pretty sweet Ultra Magnus

.

Hmm, could be ultra magnus, could be just a truck they use to carry characters, like in ROTF they used a truck that carried the three bikes didn't they? or maybe it was troops on quad bikes? i don't think we should get our hopes up until we get solid evidence or confirmation! :-?

On a sidenote, has anyone seen jolt on location? i hope they dont exclude him from the film, with all these characters that they won't be bringing back i hope they have explanations for it rather then just not mention them (chromia, jolt?, wheelie, skids/mudflap) i know we saw pictures of what's believed to be new alt modes for the twins and nothing else since so they might be in a scene or two and thats it, but i can see them not even being mentioned, would be simple, could say that NEST sent all them on a mission elsewhere, or that the main autobots in this one have been specially selected for the missions in hand, or just simply say they all went back to help on cybertron! That's the main problem i have with these michael bay films, the plot holes and when characters simply dissapear never to be seen again (i'm looking at you barricade and wheelie) but i'm happy as long as there's big robot fights

maybe jolt has a new alt mode, maybe it is the blue mercedes... :???:

ultra magnus kinda doubt it but it would be nice to see another truck fromer size of prime in this version he can realte to but ultramagnus in that color is ugly

Sun Jul 18, 2010 10:59 am

yeah i would ave to agree with the prime toy coming with the trailer, but he shouln't be a leader class.

because if hes a leader toy with his trailer it would be expensive as hell.

i hope OP and megatron both just get voyager releases..........just make prime an ultra class to have his trailer in the box with him

Well, in the comic adaptation from the 1° movie, Prime killed Barricade.

FYI, that truck people are hoping is Ultra Magnus has Carroll Shelby's autograph on the cab at the top/back of the sleeper.

Maybe the old chicken farmer is supplying some cars for the movie.
