It's very hard to keep a multi-million dollar production under wraps which it's being filmed in the downtown of a large city. Thanks to that fact, there are now several more youtube videos of the sets, the scenes and of course, the cars. In one scene Optimus Prime turns around a corner into an explosion; another has a parade of cars, where we can get a good look at several of the heavily-armed race cars (dubbed "stunticons" by several fans, though that is no way an official title), Bumblebee and Ratchet. Others show props being loaded and examined. Looks like there will be a great amount of destruction in the Windy City!

So Prime turns a corner and stuff explodes. Must be a typical day in the life of Optimus Prime.

I'm really looking forward to seeing those heavily-armed sportscars

wow the driver in prime must be really good i hear dirving with attached at that spped is hard to do while making truns like that turn to late jackknife or crash into something turn to early flip trailer

OMG!!!!!!! Prime finally gets his trailer!!!! Hey anyone know anything about who or what those first few heavily armored race cars are before bumble bee in the 2nd video? They look pretty sweet.

Whoa, I love the vehicle clips!

Okay, the three 'Death Race-esque' racers, the Ferrari, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Skids, Mudflap, Ratchet, Ironhide and Optimus Prime...

11 Autobots at once! *Head explodes* Not to sound out of touch, but this is BIG!

Actually, the three death racers are most likely Decepticons. It appears as though the Autobots are intervening so they don't cause massive amounts of damage and casualties at a public race.

Very G1ish, honestly. And really cool looking.

YES!!!! Explosions! NOOO!!! Is Optimus dead again!? No Optimus please come back to us!!! He just turns the corner then explodes. Hes just mindinghis own business when some one walks up to him and shoots him! Leave Optimus alone!!! Its not his fault!

I was thinking those armored cars where Stunticons, but they're obviously Autobots. OR was it just them getting the cars in position? We shall see.

Either Ratchet is a real stickler for traffic laws or they aren't chasing the gun-loaded racing cars in that video.

That's a lot of rubble, too.

I hope Mikaylas supposed to be under that rubble and thats how she dies. By having a stunticon blow up a building then shes crushed by rubble!

Alright so TF3 is offically sponsored by Tums, Gillette, Possibly Mountain Dew and Lowes, those were all the decals I could make from the NASCAR looking Stunticons

Those cars do look really good, I hope they at least get to transform for more then half a second, and don't look like mutant beetles or something. Still, I would like to see Menasor, that would be fun.

My fave part was the Foam asphalt props. Thats too funny, I can see the black top piece are made from white foam sheets with wooden backing to keep them from bending and breaking, the larger pieces I want to say are insulation foam molded pieces, or silcone or rubber molds with foam injected, it's hard to tell which.

LOL, that guy came so close to flipping that trailer when he took that turn. You look close enough the trailer wobbles big time right before the explosion. Kuddos to the driver.

Well, in that case my eyes lie.

I'll take the green one, thank you. Looking forward to seeing the toy line up after TF3

AWESOME! That's my boy Juan Montoya's #42 car! Don't know what those are, but i want the toys. NASCAR/Transformers crossovers FTW.

Prime trailer = win. Armor or base?

looks like prime under the rubble in the third video..

Meh, not too impressed really. It's great Prime got his trailer, but I'm not gonna be like "Z0MG!1!1!1! TF 3 is gonna R0XX0R!1!1!1! cuz Prime has his TRAILER!"

And, while I really, REALLY want the Death Race Nascar's to be Stunticon's, I'm not gonna hold my breath. Watch it turn out to be another lame human/Autobot alliance. I can see it now, Prime: "Siding with the human's military was not enough, now we also need to side with Nascar!"

My only hope is that Bay and Co. actually uses the trailer for something, whether it becomes a combat deck or armor ala Powermaster Prime/God Ginrai.

Stunt driver of OP is really good, pulling a turn like that.

Actually the stunt driver is not that good. He crashed after the turn.


Great clips. The trailer looks perfect (very long without any stupid stuff over it). And the race cars are just awesome.
