Wow, that car is stupid. It opens like a broken batmobile. That's really dumb engineering. Cool, yes; economical and practical, no.

[megatron42]

Practical? probably not. But don't tell me you wouldn't roll up to someplace and then eject from this car in style like that...

[Devastator]

Shit man, I'd even add bling. lol

[devonnewberry]

That thing is wicked

I don't really care about the car, but I love the idea of Wheeljack in the sequel. He is one of my favorite characters from G1.

yeah knowing him he probably would, especially concidering thats the state he lives in. I could see him pulling up in 'cade

[BrotherHalo]

I'm pretty stoked that TF2 is filming here in NM again. My folks live in Alamogordo and I was visiting while they were filming.

From what I know, they filmed at White Sands for Qatar, at Holloman for the SOCENT base, they also filmed in town at the old saw mill. I've watched, rewatched, and rewatched to try and figure out where in the film it was used. They also filmed up here in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, but again, I'm not sure where in the film those locations might have appeared.

Can't wait for it.

That SAAB / Wheeljack article was posted on April 1, 2008

The article could mean alot or *poof* absolutely nothing

Wishful thinking for it to be in the movie but I'm thinking it is the latter.

And if it is the latter, that is a very cruel joke

[darthrage]

This SILVER EXOTIC was offloaded at the Walt Whitman bridge along with Ironhide, Optimus and Bumblebee. Look closely behind the white trailer.

Its a blurry photo, but I wonder what it could be?????

Finally!! There is a photograph that confirms there is an exotic in the movie. We've been getting nothing but reports but this one solidifies that the production just got kick-started into badass territory!

[xana]

I'm kinda surprised someone hasn't tried to pull a Grand Theft Auto during the shoots...I mean really! Someone has to have considered it at one point.

[nightshade]

ok i see the front end of Bumblebee, but i'm curious as to who the car is behind the trailer.

[degenerateone]

Looks like a new Corvette,
But the picture is so blurry it really hard to tell.

[megatron42]

the silver car that's jazz... it looks like the solstist

[nightshade]

yeah i agree with you it does look like a vette.

[MrRoy]

Aren't the rear quarters too high for it to be a vette?

[Bumblebee1983]

Nope, it's a corvette dude. Totally different design and wider front wheel base.

I know a 'vette when I see a 'vette. And that's a 'vette, my friend.

[Bumblebee1983]

Aren't the rear quarters too high for it to be a vette?

The new '09 'vettes have a higher rear quarter.

My boyfriend's uncle has a new black one. It is NICE.

[nightshade]

here is a picture of the new corvette.

Look at the lines on this one:

I am not sure that is a 'Vette.

[MrRoy]

OK, I see it. Compare this photo:

It's not the same. It looks like something else. I actually like that I can't figure out what it is. Makes me hope they got something up their sleeve that we won't know till we see the film (or clearer pics)

The lines to that car are too sharp (more edge) compared to the 'vette. The roof line is shorter and raked further back. Lastly, the rear wheel well is taller (translating to less rear quarter panel space)

Okay, so we know it's not a Solstice and not a 'Vette.

Hmm....yeah, it may be a new car!

I was thinking it WAS the new ZR1 based on the photo comparison.
