Seibertron.com Exclusive: Video footage from the set of Transformers 3!

Thanks for the videos!

What's with the new NEST logo? A skull? I don't see them putting that on the toy packaging.

Cool videos, well done on getting the Exclusive! Is Optimus Black? Or is it just the night-time lighting? Trailer looks cool, dare I say... it's G1! *eep* sorry

Dunno, I reckon the skull is pretty tame, they've done worse, I mean look at the sunken eye sockets on Bludgeon/Banzai-tron, pretty scary! And Oil-slick from animated had a goats skull for a front on the alt mode.

Night time 8pm dusk lighting. I was able to play around with the light settings on my camera to take some decent still shots that look pretty decent despite it being dusk/dark.

LOL, I luv the little random clusters of destruction....it just amuses me. I also find it funny they were trying to do media control with the whole "No pics please" when, really there's no way you can get around it. Any passer by with a zoom can snap a few ones and be off. Kuddos for getting that close to the cars.

If I were the crowd control guys, I'd just let everyone be really. It's just a part time gig I would imagine, and it's kind of absurd to try to do media control when your driving the cars around in broad daylight and parking them out in the road all through the night, heavily public roads I might imagine. Still, it's good for us they didn't try too hard to hide things ths time around in Chicago, I can only imagine how worse it will be to put a media blanket around DC when that time comes.

Wow! It's so shiny!

The trailer looks kinda bland tho, it's just a box, in that way, it's TOO G1 if there ever was such a thing

What am I expecting tho? Power Master Optimus Prime with like, the Godmaster extended trailer? Well maybe I am! It's over the top, just what the Bay movies demand, maybe the trailer transforms into something elaborate? If so, it'll certainly transform ELABORATELY!

Great photos for night-time! Thanks!

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny.

Awesome!

When I saw that kid in Vid #6, why could I imagine Ironhide shouting "Stop touching me!!!"

Nice Ringtone!

I cannot wait till this movie is released.

Man I wish we could listen in on Bays conversations! I love the new NEST symbol! Autobots with skulls on them is always a good time!

i just realized Prime now has a trailer. i wonder what will that turn into? or don't tell bay can make a trailer that big disappear when Prime is in bot mode.

With Prime's trailer, I can already hear The Arrival Of Autobots.

My guess is this film will involve the Stunticons (Menasor) vs the Aerialbots (Superion). In my eyes the video's confirm it - and we have already been told that James Avery will voice Silverbolt.

Same here; it looks like it's going to be REALLY good.

Now that you mention it, that WOULD make sense. I just hope that the Aerialbots & Ferrari 458 Italia are the only new Autobots, so they can get everyone enough screen time and focus on character. I want more Ironhide, Ratchet, Sideswipe and especially Jolt!

The NEST symbol is AWESOME. It's like a Transformers version of the Brazilian B.O.P.E symbol ;total bad-asses in their own right. This movie is looking better and better every time new pictures/video are shown of it.

Damn Ryan you got some great pictures

Great shots! The one with Prime and his Trailer in front of the office building shall now be my background for the next few months at least. Thanks for that!

Just a quick note: did anyone else notice that in the pic of Optimus w/Trailer, there is a sign above him advertising "Prime Office Space"? Now that is a funny fluke.

*calculates how many time will it take to use the NEST logo on a t-shirt*

Sweet. I'm noticing that Prime's trailer has a cooler unit on it. lol

i wish the trailer had blue on the stripe oh well

I hope that the toy for the trailer is cool

Freshly uploaded for your viewing pleasure is the latest video footage of filming for the Transformers 3 live action movie, taking place in beautiful downtown Chicago, Illinois.

In this latest batch of videos, we get a close look at the Stunticons, who have taken the visage of NASCAR Race cars, with the Autobots, lead by Optimus Prime, in tow.

Is it me or are Prime's smoke stacks bigger than ever? I like his trailer, I cant wait to see the leader class figure with its trailer.

I love that the Mercedes has a Munich numberplate! Nice touch.

The Stunticons look awesome.

Man we need all the Stunticons and all the Aerialbota and also the Combaticons

True I would also like to see Prowl , Hound , Sunstreaker , Cliffjumper trying to battle a resurected Devastator and Omega Supreme saving them and I still reckon Jazz should be resurected by sector 7

Really looking forward to the film now and can't wait for the crew to hit DC. If I can't make it as an extra, I will certainly have my 4-year-old son with me to catch glimpses of the action. Chase on the National Mall should be killer.

wow prime is darker shade of blue looks navy color blue to me cant get enough of that trailer race car bots i laugh if there autobots not decepticons cant wait to see how the trailer is involved

what is prime doing driving behind the camera car when the chase is going on

is the blue car jolt?

Shockwave...

Stunticons....

Prime's Trailer....

Send-Autobots-Home storyline....

New Ferrari....

Man this jusst keeps getting better!

One more Transformer to add to my list of Possible Transformers that might be the "Stunticons":
Here is the current holders;

*Mirage
*Hot Shot
*Smokescreen

Now, the final guesser is....

*REFLECTOR

"WHAT???" You might ask? Well, think of it; the NASCARs are of similar colors of the three components of Reflector, toy-wise speaking, so it's very possible that these cars are Reflector. Who knows, their robot modes might even look G1-esque.

Im no fan of NASCAR but I love the original Stunticons ill have to pick up the figures for these guys when they come out. I hope they dont pull any monkey business like they did with the motorcycle triplets in the last film. (a secret combiner form that is mysteriously scrapped or a repaint that comes out a year too late and in the wrong color)

Prowl fighting Barricade, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Jazz Hound and Cliffjumper make a stand against Devastator. Awesome.

I wouldn't be surprised if that Red Ferrari turns out to be a reformatted Sideswipe.

As for the Stunticons - I hope they name 'em either Drag Strip, Dead End, Breakdown, or Wildrider (sorry, Motormaster is still a truck in my mind).

It's funny I was more excited to see the camera equipment then the cars...LOL Must be a filming thing. I was drooling over that Dolly Rig they have set up on that car, I dont know if it's automated or manual control with a cockpit retrofitted on the roof. That lighting truck is knarly too, I'd be so nervous setting that thing up that high in "The Windy City" XD I wonder if they had the "Bay Buster" on set, or if they plan on filming a majority of the explosions and crashes on a closed set whilst capturing the gist of the after math and car chases here in Chicago.

The Nascar Death Race cars are fun. My faves are #42 and 88, I wonder if their respective drivers will make cameos via their holographic selves. I'm glad they gave them these half way battle ready transformation modes and that Bay has got over his phobia of "Doing more Car chase scenes."

What I would luv to see is a Formula 1 car Decepticon, that would just be so much fun. Especially if these are the "Stunticons".

-Josh

P.S. My favorite picture is the random arm at the end, I'm assuming thats Bay's arm? LOL

I just love how over the top and cartoony yet badass the Stunticons look.

I cannot wait for the new movie.

Thanks Ryan for all the hardwork in getting this stuff!

Gotta wonder the toys are gonna be like for the Stunticons. If the car modes are already armed to the teeth, how are the robots gonna be weapon-wise? And is Hasbro gonna cheap out again and make them all repaints?

Fingers crossed that the 'Stunticons' get more than a minute of screen time.

Is Barricade not dead ?

Barricade never died, only in comics and books.

Glad these aren't true to the Stunticons, so we can have these, rename them, and them custom make movie style combining actual Stunticons!
I really like where the movie's going, machine gun cars are pretty awesome.

I love Prime's trailer. I just hope it has some function in the story and it's not just a prop. Roller maybe? I really hope... or it could serve to transport the NEST people...

The Ferrari is just amazing. Can't wait to see him in robot mode... who could it be?

The Nascar cars... amazing. I really like them. I don't know why people say they are autobots... they have the evil look of a decepticon LOL

I'm very intrigued about the mercedes... it's a transformer too or what? maybe it's just a human vehicle. What bothers me the most is the Germany plate... Maybe it is an autobot who landed in germany and scanned a car there and then, somehow, reunited with the rest of the autobots

The Stunticons look awesome, I wonder if the inclusion of Prime's trailer means he'll just use it to transport troops or if it combined ala the concept art for ROTF?

i hope optimus primes tf3 toy comes with the trailer this is going to be by far the best transformers movie i think alot of sequels dont do justice i see transformers being the best movie series of all time

Maybe a little bit of PowerMaster Optimus??

P.S. Michael Bay... Please for the love of God kill off bumblebee... hes so freakin annoying!
