New Transformers 3 Set Photo- CGI Model Place Holder

I would personally love a combiner with the stunticons (one of my favs) but I dont think that "leg" is one. If those are wheels you can see their scale to the wrecked taxis, it's way to big in comparison. If it is indeed a wheel-driven combiner part those wheels suggest maybe something like another devastator(long haul). Bay did reuse several "dead" deceptibots from 1-2 (blackout, bonecursher(he's in rotf), and maybe others). However if that is a part of Long Haul then most of it is missing as that piece seems way to small.

Or we could be looking at a new combiner bayverse style-whatever it is I absolutely love the movie figures so I am looking forward to it!

That almost looks like Prime's leg. Could that be a rough shape of a combined form with his trailer?

Giant leg is interesting, but I really want to know what's on the other side of that 'wall' attached to it.

Now this is me hoping with my fingers crossed, seeing that they showed the stunticons...that this is part of motormaster and the combined form with the other nascar vehicles...It would be cool to see a much awaited duel between ol' prime and motormaster...a fan boy can only wish

The tires on this TransFormer are way too big to be Primes.

Also, they said that they want Prime to have a more "heroic look". I know what that heroic look is. When Prime combines with his trailer, the trailer becomes Prime's cape.

Just kidding

But really, I think we're looking at a new TransFormer.

What do y0u get when you add 2+2?
No silly, it's not 4. It's Menasor.

Ha! I made a rhyme!

Seriously, if you add up 3 Stunticons you should also get combiner mode Menasor. Yea, I know, where's Motormaster and the other Stunticon? This is Bayformers after all. You'll never know what is different til the movie comes out.

I'm guessing the big blue thing is the cybertronian alt mode of whoever the main badbadguy is. Characters like The Fallen and Megatron always had cybertronian alt modes in the movies, and since this scene takes place near the end, the "big bad" is probably around somewhere. We saw what looked like Shockwave's head earlier, so maybe this is his alt mode.

And thanks to Dead Metal for hosting the pic properly.

A CGI placeholder would only be necessary if an actor were directly in contact with the object/character the placeholder represents, right? I remember seeing the scene from the ROTF Special Features disc where Sam climbs up on top of Prime's chest and hits him w/ the Matrix, it it was a similar blue placeholder he was climbing on IIRC. Hmmm.

I was thinking Menasor too once I saw the Stunticons. This confirms it.

the combination of the stunticons could be here they could combine like in g1 so that mean 3 nascar car with guns(dead end breakdown and wildrider(racer))and the truck and trailer that carries all stunticons (motormaster) and there will be a yellow racer also suped up with weapons who will be drag strip and i can assure u that

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. Everyone saying that there are only three Stunticons, go check the first set of Chicago pictures- there is a black flatnose truck in two of them that looks exactly like G1 Motormaster (although I can't see a trailer). The tyres here are the same size as an 18wheeler. I call that this is Motormaster making up the leg of Menasor.

oooo let it be combiner it sucked devastator didnt have any botmodes but he did combine let this one be combiner to.

thats alot fo styrofoam wander how much it waeighs & how heavy it is doesnt llok like primes foot looks nothing remotly close to primes foot im look at the back foot, will be intersting to see if prime does combine with his trailer in thi one

i wont trust anything bay says

Look at it that the nearest part to the camera is the back end of a truck. Can anyone else see the trailer hitch and the tailgate etc. To me it looks like a truck going right to left and the Cab seems to be twisting into mush.

But as has been said they usually use these place holders when the cast are interacting. Dont know if they would do that mid-transform.

Admittedly on first glance i went '*gasp* Roller!!!'

Looks like a right leg to me.

I'd have to agree.

But what I want to know is if that orange forklift is spoons.

Also, wasn't it confirmed that the NASCAR's were NOT Stunticons and even appear to be part of the Autobots based on their driving in filming.

I reckon misinformation. It's a bit hard to tell just from the filming, considering editing that has to take place as well as doctoring of footage (it's not uncommon to shoot car chases/high speed shots at a different frame rate and alter it).

Those round things on this place holder are about 5X bigger than wheels/tires. If this were for a Stunticon combiner, I doubt one alone would make up its foot.

Maybe its a piece of Bruticus! Military vehicles have wheels that big

You're quite right, but maybe those aren't even wheels to begin with!

But so do monster trucks...........Dirtboss!?!?

For those worrying about the wheel size I wouldn't be too attentive to the details.

Devastator had..well....balls yet none of vech's used to combine into him were equipped with Wrecking Balls. Or even one Wrecking ball.

Also, these wheels may be a post transformed addition kind of like how the Giant Uni-wheel was on the one Constructicon (I've just blocked them all from my mind honestly) in Shanghai.

Part of me, the morbidly curious part, wants to see Menasor really. Just to see what comes out of that Frankenstein lab of an art department Bay has going on there.

OH DUH!! I bet I know what this is or who this is. People, it's an aerialbot! Sure, the wheels are big like on an airplane. But too big for a semi.

Except, y'know, that Hightower guy.

Nice Try, sadly this is unused Concept art for said character. In fact if I remember correctly there was a chart floating around, and the bot in question was a Kobelco CK 2500, out fitted with a hook. Even so, there was no robot mode developed and realized. There was a minature toy developed which had a robot mode, I don't think this was it though, and even then that thing was absent of said balls.

Still, nice art. Wish this had made the film cut, instead of being scrapped. *Sigh*
