Some new images have surfaced of Transformers 3 being filmed in Milwaukee, courtesy of WITI-TV FOX6Now.com. Not only do we get to see Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Michael Bay and Patrick Dempsy but also a familiar yet new face: a 1972 Datsun 510 painted to look like the 1976 Classic Camaro version of Bumblebee from the first Transformers movie. The exact identity of this mystery car is as yet unknown.

So the Datsun's a bit of a step down, but it's still cool IMO.

I'm thinking, maybe BB goes back to fight with the autobots, then sam missing his friend, gets a "new" car which resembles BB in some way...but that's just me thinking.

Sorry, on this forum we're all looking at the car first.

That theory sounds pretty solid to me.

LOL, on a side note they look so miss-matched. I mean, Megan and Shia at least looked compatable age wise....this though. Rosie looks like she's attending a Gala whilst Shia looks to be attending Prom....its pretty funny.
As for the downgrade, the only thing I'm wondering about is mass shifting being everyone in the production were so against it in the begining....but there's a very notable difference in mass between either model Camaro and this Datsun. Or maybe it's just how it's shot....meh who knows.

Speaking of him, glad to see it looks like he's having fun filming with Shia and Rosie.
And speaking of Rosie, I think she's growing on me now...Haha
EDIT: Okay, I have a theory on the people, due to this scene...Respective-character-wise, maybe Rosie is Dempsey's daughter and Shia is picking her up from her Dad's work-place...And in a limp attempt to impress her Dad, he turns up in the old banger and it breaks down, humerously behind the Dad's slick Jaguar...Thoughts?

I have to agree Ms. newgirl looks fairly fine in this frame.

surprised no ones noticed its actually rosie not rache and my opinion is that the car is bumble bee before he became a camaro so maybe a flash back where you see him as this

No way, it's a Datsun, that means Prowl, Bluestreak, or Smokescreen...

My sentiments exactly
100,000$ in Energon says that's the reason why that Datsun is colored like that

This is one of two cars they had there painted just the same:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck12HrCEQbk[/youtube]
This one sows the Hotckiss Gould sign and pillars, then an Aston Martin Vanquish (I think). These cars may be actual transportation and not part of the movie, but who knows?

Here is the car that the actors were getting in and out of. They were in between takes and took down the panel that stopped the spectators from seeing it. Really, though, I walked down toward the lakefront and saw the duplicate car, so I'm not sure what they were hiding. I had a lense on my camera that made the circular viewing section at the end.

This is the doppelganger Datsun I saw as I walked around. I tried to get a closeup of the interior. It was all gutted.

On a side note, you can hear my kid throughout the videos. He was really excited about the ducks. While walking to the back of the museum (we call it the Calitrava), I was told not to film anything behind the Calitrava by some guy that looked official. I did, however, get to see inside the museum and saw some old cars with the cutaway doors that rich people drove in period movies. I have no idea what they are.

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.

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...

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.

That said, regardless if it's BB being a jerk to Sam, or a shell his spark was put in, where is the Autobrand?
Posted by sushilove on July 13th, 2010 @ 1:52pm CDT
Remember on ROTF that Sam didn't want BB at college with him and how embarrassed he was when he showed at campus?

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

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.

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...

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.

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.
Posted by Prime Riblet on July 14th, 2010 @ 5:46am CDT
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.
