The Transformers Movie Chronicles has posted photos from yesterday's shoot at the Queensway bridge in Long Beach, California. The photos show Optimus Prime and the new Corvette Centennial concept car as well as the chinese decor, suggesting that whatever is filmed here will tie-in with the scenes filmed in Bethlehem, PA and San Pedro.

Eye witness Ranger565 posted a brief report of what he saw:

OK Well I work in the area and they have the whole area set up to be China, as you guys know. Now I did see Prime, Bumblebee, the silver corvette, 2 blue cars (small) and Ironhide. All were parked on the back lot behind Catalina Landing!

The scene I witnessed was a traffic scene where they were driving down Shoreline Drive and then 2 flatbed Trucks merge into traffic. THEN BOOOM!!! One of the two trucks blew in half.

NOTE: The Autobots were not in the blow up scene. That’s it the stunt guys got out the cars and the Helicopter flew off. But man that truck blue the trailer hitch right off. Then I heard that it may not have gone according to plan. Both trucks were [supposed] to blow up.

Filming at the Queensway Bridge is expected to continue at the Queensway Bridge today and tonight (so far, all "Shanghai" action sequences have been filmed at night).
