[Highbeam]

So my dad called me on my way to work this morning to tell me that he heard NPR talking about Transformers 3 filming down on the Howard St/Cobo Roof exit off M-10/The Lodge in downtown Detroit, MI this week. Since it wasn't far from my job, I decided to go there after work and check it out. This is what I found

SPOILER PHOTOS AHEAD!!! You have been warned!

Perfectly timed random Camaro. This is NOT Cliffjumper, just a convenient, unexpected Camaro sighting.














Michael Bay, is that you in the red hat?













Then after a hint from the nearby security guy, I went over to the Packard Plant with promises to at least see Optimus Prime there!





















Finally found the Prime himself

Seibertron's own Highbeam was able to take some fantastic pictures of the Transformers 3 Filming in downtown Detroit. The pictures feature stunt doubles forShia Labeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Michael Bay and Optimus Prime. Highbeam reported that they announced the location of the filming on NPR. See all of Highbeam's photos here.

Okay... those look like rocket engine bell nozzles. Could it be the big guy himself?

And then there's the trailer... I want /that/ for my movie Prime!

[Swiftknife24]

Looks exciting!

Red Camaro? Fan or film? Hmmm...

It's been said that the engine mock-up belongs to one of the main Decepticons who orchestrates the chaos on Earth...So it could either be Soundwave or Shockwave.

I heard that the Red Camaro might be Cliff Jumper from people's other postings.... I could be wrong

Actually this engine may be part of an Autobot because Carly jumps on it as being rescued. Maybe it's Silverbolt's alt form or some kind of human ship. Here is the video with the jump:

Good reasoning, but not what I read!

This was before the videos of Rosie jumping on it. First it was believed it is Shockwave but Rosie and Shia won't jump so willingly on him, right?

I'm not certain, but is that a small Autobot symbol on the bottom of the red Camero, right behind the wheel? This could infact be Cliffjumper.

I don't know about that. We have yet to see a red Camaro on the set. The guy in the red shirt is security. I'm thinking it's just someone driving by or an extra who happens to be driving a Camaro.

[UM Prime]

i saw ultra magnus theres a white truck behind optimus same type as optimus and it has a trailer

[Sky-Quake]

I wonder is that a starship prop the one with the very large thrusters and high calibur machine gun what if that's shockwave's alt mode hmmm

That's the GM logo dearie.



Now that those prop engines are getting some screen and stunt time, I'd agree with folks in saying it's either Shockwave or an Aerialbot.

Speaking of stunts, I don't recall there being any stunt people for Sam or Mikaela in the past films? That excites me.

Uh, people...in my original post I specifically said "Perfectly timed random Camaro" in the caption above the pic It was some random guy who happened to drive down Lafayette and stopped briefly to watch the filming then he left. Red Camaro - not a movie car, sorry. I just thought it was cool that it drove by the set during a take.

[autobot-jolt]

Hey highbeam, could you explain Barricade?

Ah of course; I didn't realise they were your words!

(Not willingly...Unless they intend to destroy him in some insane Bay-plot sequence! Haha)

Sorry, but I have to type this:

Any of you guys ever heard of spoilers?

I know every photo or bit of info is news but this photopost was a bit much.

I know I'm the only one who doesn't want to know anything about TF3

I do like the picture with the sky

And that's why I put the word "spoilers" in the heading and also in the first bit before the photos. Anyone who clicks on a thread with the word spoilers can expect it to be just about anything. If I wanted to be kept in the dark, personally I wouldn't click on a thread with this sort of title. Just saying.

Hey highbeam, could you explain Barricade?

What about 'Cade?

[autobot-jolt]

Hey highbeam, could you explain Barricade?

What about 'Cade?

Is he in the movie or what? I know we saw to or three fake Barricades back in '08. Is this on set? or another fake? 'cause I'd like his dissaperance explained considering he might just be my favorite movie Con...

[Mechas8n]

Hmmm, Its something that you cant quite tell what it is, that then explodes for some unexplained reason.


Yep, that will be Transformers 3 then!

According to official comic movie adaptation he got boom-boomed by Prime on the expressway, Bonecrusher style.
