Part of a Decepticon shot on blue screen - explanation. Spoilers!

[Albershide]

Thanks to chosenprime for posting videos of a ship parts shot on a blue screen:

Here is an interesting interpretation (if you don't like spoilers stop reading):
According to a guy who was passing by the set "Shia was jumping from the ship to a building" (thanks to ARIQ from TFW2005).
First it was believed to be a part from a ship. Now according to sigma1 (a member of Don Murphy's forum and a TF3 extra in Detroit):
"The shoot involving the train derailed is called "Mayor's Mile" and is a continuation of the Chicago sequence. The scene itself will take place in Chicago within the movie. It involves the intro of a main antagonist, (which is the large construct with 2 turbines in the rear photographed earlier when Detroit production arrived). I won't reveal just yet who it is, but he will then transform and reveal himself to be orchestrating much of the chaos on Earth, most Autobots arrive (Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and the Ferrari) to battle him. Prime, Ironhide, and Josh Dummal are involved in another sub-plot that will be revealed later."
This points that these turbines are actually part of a Decepticon which I believe is Shockwave. Another interesting info that we get from this spoiler is that Wheeljack is the blue Mercedes (the Einstein bot).
Here is a closer look at the turbines shot a few weeks earlier:

Of course everything is just a rumor so take it with a grain of salt but still great possibilities here.

sounds interesting

@Albershide: Thanks for the heads-up, sir!

[Michael Do]

interesting.

[sideswipeyoass]

first i need to get this out: ah hem WHELLJACKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
second think about it jet turbines-astro train derailment-train whats that spell astrotrain???!!!

[Albershide]

I think it's a regular train which wreck was caused by Shockwave. But the idea of Astrotrain especially with the Kennedy Space Center shoot sounds great.

[Shadow]

its not astrotrain guys and the train derailment has nothing to do with astrotrain. It is Shockwave who causes people on Earth to turn on the Autobots but the catch is... the other Decepticons have it just as bad. Humanity sees all Transformers as evil now and wants them ALL gone. Shockwave is the cause of all the MASS DESTRUCTION. Dont believe me? wait and see

[Shadow]

but there are also two different sets of those engines... the black set everyone has seen and another more modern looking set this is grey-ish and white.

Hey Shadow,

File can't be opened.

Hey Shadow,

File can't be opened.

sorry... look at my home page here.
My co-site partner mistook the second pic as one I took. It is not a pic i took myself but none the less it shows the second set of engines im talking about.

Always assumed it was the same but from another angle but you're right they are different.

Real close resemblance between this new rocket bot and Megatron from ROTF.

[jamjam101]

I'm sure that the final will come close to the rumors are spreading. it sounds very good so far...

[rocketrichard78]

Just seen some videos of the filming in Detroit with the large rocket ship with Sam riding on top of it and Carly jumping onto it. Why would they jump onto a known decepticon? Maybe we have it wrong.

Here is another video from the "engine" shoot. Looking at how they jump to it makes me think it's a friendly bot. So may be this is Silverbolt's alt mode?

On this video you can see both side of the engine. The pics you're referring are just taken from different sides:

I think you're right. I think it's just the angle of the lighting that makes it look different colors. The more I watch the videos the more I think they are on the back of a transformer in robot mode and they will fill the rest of it in with CGI. But unless someone leaks info, we won't know until the movie comes out.

good catch bro... that explaines a lot of the two different looks (all the same) From what I was told, its Shockwave but my contact may just be blowing smoke. this is funny and but has anyone played the game War For Cybertron? That jet thingy looks a lot like Omega Supreme's jet mode lol

but why would sam and carly jump on to shockwave i'm on the same page right but it's logicaly silverbolt

[megatron42]

i hear astro train might be in the movie.. so maybe shadows right or not

If you look at the second video it appears the left engine is under fire and smoking. Whoever it is, looks to be going down.

[Shadow]

Because Sam and Carly have to jump from a highrise penthouse and this bot is the only thing close enough to get on. If you watch the videos... Sam(his stunt dub) is or looks to be on his back while on this thing and fighting something smaller that isnt there(maybe another small Decepticon) Im sticking with Shockwave for now as this thing screams Decepticon to me. Besides... thats what I was already told it is lol (Could be wrong lol)

You are probably right. Judging by Sam's posture the person or bot he is fighting isn't that big. Is the angle poor or does Rosie's character seem to enter the flying object.

Hey guys, I have an interesting new interpretation of the engine thing shot on blue screen. We all know that Sam and Carly takes rescue on it by jumping from a building (which may be Patrick Dempsey's home or office - he was also on the balcony):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCRnB...layer_embedded
Now looking at the new photos that emerged on the web you can clearly see that it has a cockpit though no windows:
http://www.popsugar.com/Pictures-Shi...4?page=0,0,4#3
But why would you need windows when you have such a lovely camera in front of the cockpit which can project everything inside on a screen:
http://entertainment.webshots.com/ph...50009453XgqmvH
So my assumption is that this is just a small jet that they use to escape from Dempsey's hands. You can clearly see the two engine turbines in the back the two big guns in the front and the pilot's cabin in between. This thing may be a transformer (though a little one) but also may be some sort of a secret NEST jet.
And the blue screen that they use around the jet is just to add the surround buildings and matte paintings so that it will look like the action takes place on a high skyscraper or another building.
