You can take the following information with a grain of salt or jump with joy. Either way, here are some Rumors and possible Spoilers surrounding the Detroit Transformers 3 Filming.
First of all, we’ll start things slowly… Remember the Wired Weird Object we saw few days back?
Now, thanks to TFLAM Blog we now know what it was used for. Click on the Title to see some images of that particular object being lowered to a car and in the process, crushing the vehicle. We can now narrow the guessing to it being either a piece of falling building debris or a robot’s foot stepping on the vehicle.
Next-up… Remember the Giant Jet Engine we saw few weeks back?
Thanks to TFW2005’s ARIQ, S4TE’s Albershide and Don Murphy Message Boards’ sigma1 we have a lot of information and rumors. According to ARIQ, “Shia was jumping from the ship to a building”. And 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 Duhamel are involved in another sub-plot that will be revealed later.”
Update: Thanks to J1000 of TFW2005 Movie Discussions, we have a close shot of the Jet Engines. And yes, it is a Giant Gun fitted to it.
Finally, Have you noticed a certain name on sigma1’s comment?

Unicron???
TO ROGZILLA: Good observation! It would be nice to see Shockwave battle Megatron for leadership as they've done in the comics, only to have Shockwave be a herald of some sorts for Unicron. The mass of Unicron would be interesting to see. However, although Bay has said he wants to dig deeper, I don't think he'd end it on such a HUGE, potential $300M scale unless the budget and story called for it… JUST A THOUGHT!!!

This scene is odd because of all of the blue screen stuff, which wasn't as prevalent in Chicago. I'm guessing you can do more with a 3d camera.

i was pretty sure of that. just throwing that idea out there. honestly, i am really hoping that shockwave isn't another chopper. yeah it was kinda cool in the game, but i would rather see him as something more original. we already had blackout. lets see something else.
RebelMan
for most of every film/movie out of Hollywood video games, books, comic books, & tv series based on certain properties are usually always 100% non-cannon.
Rogzilla
The games are not canon at all.

I've been a huge Iron Man fan just as long as I've been a TF fan and I loved both movies. Though I personally think IM1 was a little better than IM2.
Lurkertron
I thought Iron Man was great.
Wheeljack_Prime
The windows aren't dark enough to be a Transformer.

I doubt it. The new camaro has been out for awhile. I wouldn't be too surprised if a few of the crew members had one of there own.

Iron Man was such a dud.
Iron Man 2 was better, but the end fight was too quick, like Prime vs Fallen..too short.

Has anyone seen this pic of a red camaro on set?!
Could be Cliffjumper…

That actually sounds kind of interesting, if true. In fact it almost sounds like a homage to
Optimus117
Posted this on the thread with the videos:
It actually looks like that's just supposed to represent a piece of a much larger whole. Look at all the blue all over the place. Seems to me the only thing you'll be seeing in this scene that you see in the youtube videos is the sky (and the ship, of course).
To me, it has the feel of a much larger ship crashing, with the lovebirds clinging on for dear life. Just speculation, obviously. Then again, if it's true, then whoever said it could be the Ark may be on to something…

The bit about Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Einsteinbot, and Ferrari bot fighting Shockwave really reminds of the Iron Man/War Machine/Whiplash fight at the end of IM2. Which is cool. I can just those five trying to fight Shockwave, who has a clear advantage.
knightwing
don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, didn't see it anyways.
but if anyone would even consider the first TF game as somewhat canon, then Shockwave was in that. IIRC he was a triple-changer from an Apache attack chopper to some kind of artillery cannon. that could explain the jet engines and the massive gun. but who knows?
MTME
if she is in the cockpit trying to fly it then it wouldnt be a transformer, you cant override
