    We usually find it funny when seeing some Chinglish phrases or sentences...

    Now, it's even funnier seeing these, errr..... what's the word? Englinese? :lol 
    Come on. Is it really that hard to get someone translate those properly? Some street signs makes no sense at all.

    Nevermind, it'll still be awesome to have some freakin giant bots smashing each other in China XD

    HAHAH, yeh, I know what you mean. LOL I don't get that one either, even that was supposed to be some kinda "artistic touch" by some old interpreters.
    Well, that was just one of the 2 major versions for Screamer, the other one actually call him Star-scream or Screaming-star literally, which is what I prefer XD

    I mean, I'm fine with grammar errors, but really, why the heck is "quantity of production" on a yellow triangular road sign? That's just simply hilarious.

    I have my brother going down there to take photos. Told him about it this morning. He isnt a Transformers fan by any stretch but lets face it a movie with as little info coming out about it as possible just makes it almost fun to see if you can get something no one else has.

    It would be nice to be the one contributing photos for once instead of waiting all the time.

    Anyone notice how beaten up his "splint" is now? Sounds like they're trying hard to incorporate his hand injury "realistically" into the film. Hopefully it means not too much CGI'ing & thus mis-editing will occur.

    I do shudder to think what they've got Sam going through to get to that state - even pre-Shia accident, it looks like he was destined to get f* up.

    Well, after seeing the latest set video, either the Corvette Concept is an Autobot, or that was the most orderly chase scene in the history of movies.

    Shia's first picture would make a good anti-smoking ad.

    Yeah, I'm taking it as a good sign that all those cars were Autobots. Anyone ever notice that you never see Prime leading the convoy?(no pun intended) Didn't he almost always lead the other autobots down the road?

    Maybe the silver car (a good chance it's an Autobot) has found something and has to show Optimus (and a few others), but has to lead the way since none of the other Bots know where it is.

    Lookin' good so far. I cannot wait for a teaser trailer.

    That first video is awesome. I can't imagine standing there by the side of the road as Prime and the Autobots drove by. Priceless.

    On a side note, I wonder where Ratchet was.

    I hear ya, that's what I'm wondering. Where has Ratchet been?? I don't think I've seen him being filmed very much at all if any. I remember those weirdass Trikes being filmed earlier on but I don't even know if that is SUPPOSED to be Arcee or not.

    I'm going to be pretty disappointed disappointed if so....and what about Jazz?? I heard his voice actor had been spotted on set to read lines or something awhile back?? Was that just part of Bay's misinformation campaign?

    The only part in the first movie I can specifically remember him leading the pack is when they met back up with Bumblebee and the cube and he and Jazz "drifted" their back-ends around.

    And yes, I do remember him leading the Autobots the majority of the time in the original series...but they also used to travel together through different terrains side-by-side horizontally in a line too...does anyone else remember this??

    WHY ARE THESE LITTLE-ASS NOOB CARS LEADING THE PACK, BAY?? OPTIMUS IS THE LEADER!!! HE DOESN'T SEND HIS TROOPS INTO DANGER IN FRONT OF HIMSELF..lol
