More videos from fellow Seibertronian "physucks":

I was down at the Calitrava again today, but they were doing mainly inside shots. I think I saw Shia changing his shirt, but got no video of that. There was a helicopter that landed on the grass by the museum after I left yesterday so I didn't get it. Today, however, I did. When I got there they were keeping everyone off the bridge that crosses to the war memorial museum, where I got the car shots from. Then someone got a call that said they were cancelling the helicopter. I again went down to the lakefront and saw the chopper take off from the marina. What I saw is posted below. Sorry for the shakey cam, but it IS a Michael Bay movie, it fits right in.

Oh, and yesterday, while I was carrying my son on my shoulders and walking back to out car from the lake, Michael Bay rode by in a golf cart. I said, "Hi Michael!" and waved. He waved back. Just something fun for my son.

If that Datsun is indeed BB, then they better make a toy, because it will be the first Movie BB toy (beyond robot heroes) that I'll buy.

That said, regardless if it's BB being a jerk to Sam, or a shell his spark was put in, where is the Autobrand?

It could be that Sam asked Bumblebee to scan a new alt-mode so he can drive a less flashy car. The Datsun fits more for a guy on his first job after graduating. People would see it weird that a guy like Sam drives around in a brand new camaro...

Remember on ROTF that Sam didn't want BB at college with him and how embarrassed he was when he showed at campus?

Between the Ferrari in Chicago and the Aston Martin and Jaguar shown here, I am really looking forward to finding out which characters they are planning to add to the mix. With Shockwave, the Stunticons(?) and the trailer on Prime, I'm getting a nice G1 vibe here.

I don't think that's BB... If they put his spark into a new shell, he'd be able to rescan whatever car he wanted, or recreate the camaro...

I don't think it's an autobot, no autobrands are evident...

Could be some joke story. Maybe its Simmons car? He's decided he likes Sam and the NBE's and wanted his own 'B' but ended up with a Sihtbox Datsun instead.

As far as story goes, I don't think Simmons has anything to do with it. It was Sam and his new girl by the car. Rosie kept getting in and out of the car from what I could see. Also, they were in front of an investment center. The inside of the Calitrava had a desk set up where these people are standing:

and 2 cars at angles in front of the desk.

I'm wondering why these two are all spiffied up going to this business. Of course the front of the museum and the inside could be two different locations in the movie.

My guess is that the Ferrari is Hot Rod and the Aston Martin Bluestreak.

We know a plot point of the movie is the "Go Home" stuff. So Bee and the bots would be hiding out more or less if this scene takes place in the beginning of the film. My thought is that it is a "sentiment" car. Sam made it to look like Bee cause he misses him or something like that. Look closey and the disco ball is hanging there too.

Don't know what's up with the datsun, but I hope it is Wreck-Gar. It would be perfect in my opinion. And as far as Datsuns still running, I have one parked in my backyard that looks almost identical to this one, just different colors(same condition) that belongs to my little brother who recently moved in. :SICK:

The photo of Bay in front of the Datsun is mine, not Fox 6!

Nice shot! Were you above that parking structure that killed that boy?

Yay, someone somewhat agrees with me!

Again, for the umpteenth time, my list of Transformers that might be these "Stunticons":

Autobots:
*Smokescreen
*Hot Shot
*Mirage

Decepticons:
*Reflector (Speaking toy-wise, not the G1 character(s) model(s).) Reflector always did screw me up...

Hmm, I don't think this is just some random car considering there are more than one on set. I imagine if it is BB, it will be for a short period of time and have to do with the whole "Autobots, go home!" things we have seen.

Based on Bay's typical Autobot so far and the fact we have seen picture of what appears to be the Autobots chasing the "Stunticons,
I highly doubt these Nascars our good guys.

Sam is trying to impress Rosie's character with his pimp ride hot Camero. He is going to pick her up and take her somewhere.

But...

Sam and Bumblebee have been arguing over something lately. In order to piss Sam off, BB shows up as this piece of crap Datsun. Sam has already told Rosie how pimp'n his ride is and now has to, on the spot, make up some explanation why the Datsun is their ride.

Sam acts all awkward...fumbling for an explanation. His impromptu explanation does not make sense and sounds dorky. He acts like a dork while trying to act cool. He, at some point, whispers to BB something to the effect of "What are you trying to do to me?".

This is a perfect Michael Bay storyline attempting to, yet again, exploit Shia playing someone in an awkward situation.

There...that is my prediction. I am sticking to it.

Sad thing is, you guys know I am right. Uggghhhh.

yeah the movie will no doubt suck like the others. we can only hope for a decent toy line. cant wait for the franchise reboot.

Well, I think my prediction is a little more sense. My prediction was that Bumblebee gets destroyed somehow, but his spark is still functioning, so they place his spark in the Datsun. I'm sticking to this one. Make of that what you will, fellow Seibertronians. Make of that what you will...

Yes, your prediction makes more sense. But this is a Michael Bay film. Hence, I know you are wrong. Your version lacks "the Michael Bay factor", whereas my version has Michael Bay written all over it.

Well, I am happily surprised. The new girl is going to make it extremely easy to forget the last main actress.....

Instead of a Datsun, I wonder why a VW Bug wasn't used.....if it is BB.

Either way, a white dress spices up those pics nicely.

Sam's probably fresh out of college in TF3, new town, new job--wouldn't a new Camaro stand out? Doesn't anybody remember Leos's response when he saw BB the 1st time? Most college aged folks can't afford a new Camaro.

New girl A+

I'm just glad there is something other than GM products. What a load of crap that the first two movies were so terribly full of ad placement. I highly doubt all transformers would choose GM if they really knew what they were made like! Just kidding. I know there were a few cars that weren't GM products, but you have to admit it was a little overkill.

Is that an autobot symbol on the front rims of Datsun?

Nope. It's just the hub. I took the original video and put it on my TV so I could see it larger. There's something to be said for HD cameras!

I understand your point, but it is possibly true that other manufacturers were asked to allow their vehicles to be used and no happened to be the answer. I don't know that for sure, but we got what we got either way. If the deal was exclusive, then it at least made it possible for me to buy the Deluxe Class Sideswipe mold.
