In that first photo, Prime has a trailer. If that was an actual shoot from the movie (and not just them using Prime to haul around equipment) then is the first time we've seen Prime with a trailer in this movie?

Anyone know any details about this?

Also, you can tell from the picture it's not the long nose truck that Prime is nor does it have a cabin in the back.

Prime with a trailer? O_O Oh, when i saw the pic i thought it was. Still those are good photos, thanks for sharing.
Dropshot
Yeah, that's not Prime is the NEST semi that was previously reported in the Bethlem shooting.

First time we see the R8!!!

The second pic is uber-cool, clearly the soldiers are looking for a decepticon

if that's not prime.. why is ratchet next to the semi

Spiderus Prime

That's neither Prime nor Ratchet, it's a NEST semi as someone mentioned and a NEST Hummer next to it.

Right, specifically the H3T NEST vehicle.

so vw did change their mind....interesting
WWMEGATRON
I so hope the Audi R8 is Wheeljack !!!
DrLee
The R8 has been described as a 'Con for a while.... and i'm thinking that the Vette could be a 'Con as well......nothing to prove that the Vette is though, just my opinion.

Strange that, despite this being a sequence that ArCee is said to be in, we've not seen hide nor hair of her yet....

Hope 'Anon' gets more images, and pass on our thanks to them

I was just thinking the same thing.

I dunno, that Prime (with Trailer) is certainly debatable. I can see some color variations on it that look like the mixtures of red and blue from his flames.

Not to mention the one pixel's worth of a potential autobot symbol right on the front.

Just looking at the shape of the semi, it's clearly not Prime, nor is either one of the Humvee's next to him Ratchet. They're NEST vehicles that have been described from previous shoots.
ViperDragon
Interesting from the 2nd pict, you see the NEST soldiers (I assume) running past the Ice Cream truck. Perhaps they don't know it's a Transformer, yet? Robots in Disguise indeed!

Is that Optimus.....with a trailer!?

Clearly not Optimus that truck is black. Ok its not clear lol but still not a red and blue truck.
That is the NEST Semi we saw on the call sheet. It is also all black
Tell_Story
So what if the truck with the trailer is "The Fallen?" How cool would that be?

I'm very curious as to how and why the R8 and Vetter are on top of a building like that.

Great pics by the way!

Black Truck? Grey/Silver trailer? Motormaster? J/K
I think it would be nice to see Prime carry a trailer just once. No disappearing crap, but would it hurt to just once have him haul something important in a trailer that strongly resembles the cartoon? Just one small homage to the trailer?

I don't think they care or they have someone in design who really sucks ass.

Trailers are impractical in a live-action shoot, particularly if they want Prime to be driving around at speed with the other Autobots.

For example, there would be no way in hell that Prime could have done that u-turn in the first film or arrive in Mission City with a trailer behind him - the truck would have rolled.
optimusprime42
what the heck is NEST? something like sector 7
Optimus-JD
Prime not hauling a trailer has always made sense in the movieverse, but I don't want to live in a world where Bay doesn't see a potential explosion. Hell, he could have Prime pulling a trailer and have a con shred through rolling both it and Prime.

Wrong, the vehicle beside the truck is the H3T NEST vehicle, you can tell by the headlights and truck bed.

The HX is in the other pictures.

Actully maybe its nemesis prime?
Also in the second to last pick wtf was that black vechial?
DrLee
Prime isn't in these pics... thats just a Generic truck..... Think aobut it... what colour lights does Prime have dotted about on his alt mode?

Blue NOT orange.

That is a simple way of seeing that the truck there IS NOT PRIME!
Spyshot2007
I've been there twice and have seen no action, this sucks. I wanna see the Ice Cream Truck in action
Sportimus
I am a bit confused here. See, in the first movie, Volkswagen refused to allow the New Beetle to be used as Bumblebee because the 2007 movie had violence or whatever nonsense excuse they had. So no VW's were used other than an old, beat-up one for a punching bag.

Bear with me here...

VW owns, designs, and builds Audi's. And yet, they allow for the A8 to be used? Why the change of tune? Did they suddenly realize that Transformers is a huge blockbuster and they missed out on it the first time, and now they want in?

Anyhow, the R8 looks sweet, as do ALL the Transformers vehicles that we have seen. Nice find.

I'm guessing you're right and they're looking to get a piece of the tasty Transformers Pie. but i wouldn't be surprised if the car came with specific contractual obligations, like.... it can't be a decepticon, and if it is, then it has to switch sides by the end.

My Money's on the Audi being Wheeljack, his previous alt mode was a European car, and maybe the scientist thing fits in with the anti war VW stance?
....well, maybe...

There was mention of the new concept electric vehicle the Chevy Volt in the movie. THAT'S what I want Wheeljack to be!
Spoiler
I admit when I first saw the pic I thought Ops got a trailer, but it occured to me, just looking at it, it wasn't Prime.
optimusprime42
i sen a pic of the audi R8 at my drs looks sweet in car and track mag... who was the forumla 1 race car what autobot was that it's an audi R8
Fort Max
I saw an Audi R8 this morning cruising down a country lane near a West Kent train station. Didn't get a good look as it was going in the opposite direction...

i think this is a decepticon. in the wal mart video it showed it chasing after Sma and Mikaela on motorcycles and trying to intercept them.

Not before the end of July, though, which is when this therad was started.

tfarecool just bumped it today for some reason.

We all know that the Vette is Sideswipe, but I've been thinking... the black truck - Motormaster?
The Audi R8 - Wildrider?
Ice cream truck... wheelie?
