Images continue to pour in from the Transformers 4 filming in Chicago thanks to Instagram, which include several new vehicles. Below we have the Chinese Concept E-Jet, Aston Martin Vanquish, and a white 2013 production Camaro hanging out with the vintage 67 Camaro and Concept Camaro Bumblebees.

The Aston Martin Vanquish has become my new dream car.

I realy hope the astin martin is Sideswipe or even Sunstreaker

Sexy Aston, as usual, and god do they sound like beasts.

My only guess on the white camaro is it being a car bee scans?

the new sleek sexy import, with turbo handling!

I love how the "Robots in Disguise" are all these top of the line cars. Good way to blend in.

Some thoughts....

Though it initially has some sleek lines, viewed as a whole, the Chinese concept car is kind of stubby.

If the Aston is a car, hopefully it is Sideswipe. He'd still be a silver car, so that'd help with continuity.

And since he's a white recolor of Bumblebee, wouldn't it make sense that Bugbite would be a white version of Bumblebee? Although I know that's just wishful thinking, because Bugbite is a Decepticon, he's a somewhat obscure character, and except for Optimus and Bumblebee, no Transformer in the live action series looks even vaguely like their G1 counterpart. Plus Bay is directing, so although I'll probably enjoy the movie, I doubt ANY of the plot or characterization is going to be taken from the Transformer mythos that closely.

I have no idea who these could be. They could just be regular cars, so I won't get my hopes up. I would really like the other Camaro to be Cliffjumper even though it's white.

Now there's a thought, especially since their normal colors don't mean much in the movieverse.

Could be anything or anyone but honestly, I think it's just a regular Camaro.

This is the one thing that bugs me the most about these films. Sometimes a car is just that: A simple car. Unfortunately, playful conjecture or wishful thinking leads to some idiot turning things into rumor, that rumor gains momentum and before you know it you have a bunch of idiot fans getting butt-hurt and pissed off at Bay because something they took as "Fact" is anything but.

My money is on the car belonging to some higher level production personnel.

Yeah, I know... I'm an ***hole and a buzz-kill.

As perhaps one of the few Seibertronians who has seen every single James Bond movie (there are between 23-26 depending on how you like to count) I am totally marking out about the Aston Martin.

That trend started way back in G1, man...

Technically, that white Camaro is a 2014 model year production Camaro. And judging by the taillights, it looks like it is NOT equipped with the RS appearance package...
