    Default New Concept Car On Bethlehem, PA Set?

    http://seibertron.com/transformers/n...formati/13135/

    http://transformerslive.blogspot.com...tion-prep.html

    Someone has posted some photos of early set preparation in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania along with some interesting info:

    - The east side of the site is being re-developed so most of the shooting will take place on the west side.
    - A new concept car (possible Transformer?) not used in the first movie will be used there
    - Two Blackhawk helicopters will be used
    - The area will be patrolled by the site security and Bethlehem City Police who will also and close streets for the shoot.
    New concept car, eh? Could this be a new character, or one of the surviving TFs getting an upgrade (which I hope they don't do for continuity sake) ? Maybe one of those Blackhawks are more than meets the eye?

    We'll have to wait and see!

    Well with bay's relationship with GM the new concept could very well be the new CTS coupe. It's a serious dose of badass and if thats the case it would be pretty damn sweet. But if he broke the GM trend in the movie there are a ton of cars he could use. I doubt it would be anything but a domestic but hey who knows. It's the same situation as Bumblebee as the Camaro in the first film, the car had the green light to be built but wasn't in production yet. It's a great way to get your new product out there.

    How about an non-GM product Autobot, I'm a Ford fan (yes, Barricade looked awesome), so how about a Race-car form (I don't care if its Auobot or Deceptacon), maybe like a Rally Car (Subaru WRX) or Sportscar (Aston Martin/Ferrari).

    I will not look, I will not look....
    I'm a dog chasing cars. I don't know what I'd do if I caught one. I don't have plans. I just do things. I'm not a schemer.

    I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments.

    I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger.

    Ironhide and a couple of matte finish trikes (Can-Am Spyders) en route to somewhere. Link to original post (with more pics)



    *edit* If anyone is wondering what kind of bike that is:

    Can-Am Spyder

    It's funny, my first thought: Oh snap! The Black Wasps from The Island.

    Who knows what they are at this point. They could be mini Bay-busters that will be outfitted with cameras for all we know. Better handling than a go-kart, like the retrofitted Cayenne handles better than a van.

    If it was for Cameras it would already be fitted for it.
    Bay doesnt just duct tape cameras on.
    so i would say this is definetly a TF

    You ever seen the Porsche Cayenne being transported? They don't have the cameras on it until it's go-time for filming. I know I wouldn't want $$$ camera equipment flailing on a trailer.

    I'm just saying, it's just spitballing, not everyone's mind automatically thinks it's gotta be a TF.

    Agree.But the Cayenne had all the extra frame and supports welded to it before shooting.
    One crash in that thing and the driver is done.
    Doesnt look like it could handle a "Bay assult"

    No, you are right in that regard, (rigs would be at least on them) And I'll probably be wrong about them, but really it's just to point out that we really have no clue what they are and any speculation at this point is as good as the next guy's. (TF or not)

    *edit* As far as the driver being toast, well, let's just call it an occupational hazard, because Pursuit Systems also offers a Camera Bike Setup

    Hey knowing Bay these are just for him to cruise Pa in.
    Or to throw us off as well.
    Never asume youll see anything in TF until release date!

    and if you look there appears to be multiple vehicles there. I may be wrong about this but if you click the link that was provided and look at the pictures there appears to be one in the back of Ironhide's bed and another Spyder sitting side by side.
    Everywhere I look you're all I see. Just a fading f@cking reminder of who I used to be.

    I think hollowed's right. If the spyder is a tf form, Michaels going to need more then one for the filming (and stunts, explosions).
