The Energon Pub

The anonymous source that previously gave us a set report and a few photos from Alamogordo, New Mexico here has once again brought us some information regarding the filming of the Transformers Movie sequel at the White Sands missile range.

The anonymous source also sent in some photos which, according to the latest story, were actually allowed - as long as the photos were taken from a distance of at least 20 feet, to make sure the vehicles looked good.

No new vehicles were on set, but the photos taken do give us a good luck at Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee (vehicle and robot prop) and Ratchet (who seems to have been absent during much of the film's production).

Read the report and see the photos on the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog by clicking here.

- The core cast is at the location, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson
- Today they shot a fight scene at a desert set similar to one from the first movie.
- Extras on set comprised of various needs including a "Strike Force" and Jordanian soldiers.
- Heard rumor that Julie White and Kevin Dunn (Sam's parents) where also on the White Sands set.
- Additionally heard that TF2 may film in Ruidoso which is about 30 minutes from Alamogordo. Ruidoso is in the mountains surrounded by a dense forest.

Hm...Bumblebee's front bumper has changed since the first movie, which leads me to believe that the Camaro used in this film is a production version >:3

Odd, however, that they did not change the front bumper on the robot-prop (note the fog lights)

hhmm i like how bumble bee went to west customs and got some rims.
and for all time sakes! GO RATCHET welcome back!

if you cant get veiw from this picture you can get a better veiw of his hood & his bumper from pervious picures from previous posts when they where at the castle and other places to get a good look at bumblebee bumper.

ironhide lokos to have some minor modifiycations to his hood a little bit.

glad to see ratchet is there weather he will be in the film or not is questionalbe from the pictures looks definate hell be int but only time will tell

The front bumber on the Camero has changed but the robot prop's chest did not.

RATCHET LIVES!

I can tell you with 100% certinaty that is NOT the production front bumper. Not on the SS or the RS. And just to clarify, there is NO Z/28.
And that bumbper looks like $hit.

Nahh I heard it's the z28 model coming out in 2010.

I noticed 2 things.

First, Prime's smoke stack became gold. Or i just didn't notice this in the old movie.

Second, Bumblebee's car mode got a new hood scoop, with slightly different paint scheme, and different fog lamps. And yet, the changes didn't appear in the robot mode? Why?

Question. So BB notice this new upgrade in other cars, so he scans them and did himself too? Or he's just gonna come out brand new in the movie, without any explanation at all?

not to break anyone's heart, but michael bay movies do not always have the best film continuity, meaning, covered in blood one scene, and barely has a scratch the next.

Yeah i notice that in the movie. BB robot mode all bloody with grease. Transform into car mode, it automatically gets a magical carwash complete with tire black.

I will never see any movie ever again.

I'm liking BB's new fascia, but it seems rather overdone, because the body isn't made to match.
Most likely a z/28 promo, or just an aftermarket body kit....
Could be an SS, but I know otherwise.

People--There is NO Z-28 model comming out! You get a base, RS, SS or RS/SS.
Camaroz28.com is your answer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because GM totally told the truth when they said they weren't making the Camaro.
And Ford was totally honest with the original Mustang.
The point?
Car companies will lie to us, no matter what car when.
I mean, in this instance, I'm sure the new BB isn't any kinda new model, but you arent to say that there won't be a Z/28.
Besides, you shouldn't be so negative, you should be hoping for one, begging, if you will.

Well, when you get your information from Scott Settelmeyer, you tend to listen carefully. Besides all the information is up on what models are available anyway. So yes, I'm 100% correct!
