    You don't seem to understand what motion capture is. When an actor is wearing a motion capture suit with tracking markers, it is to capture the human movement of the actor. You can see the parts of articulation on the suit that are marked with tracking markers. Those are human points of articulation. Sqweeks is not human, and so motion tracking him would not be beneficial, because in post production they wouldn't be able to match the marks on the suit to the robot articulation parts on CGI Sqweeks. It isn't Sqweeks. It is most likely an alien that has a humanoid shape. Plus, they have a Sqweeks prop, and surely would have just used that instead of spending additional money on a mocap suit and actor that won't even translate well for a robot. Sqweeks has a wheel and bar for a foot. He isn't gonna move like a human, and based on the submarine scene this mocap character moves and walks like a human.

    I don't see how the mo-cap actress is Sqweeks. Because A) Sqweeks is supposed to be like 3ft.6(?), and she there is clearly not. And B) I think she's likely mo-capping an alien like the rumoured 'Creator'.

    I really don't know why people think she's mo-capping Sqweeks when she is clearly not. I'm not being mean here, but come on. Really?

    Uggh I agree!! Not trying to be mean, but I'm tired of people saying it's Sqweeks when it obviously isn't.

    That mo-cap is most likely for "the Creator" character if you ask me.

    The person in charged of the 2 Optimus Prime trucks commented on this IG post that the 'beauty' truck was damaged while filming in a corn field. Not sure if the 'stunt' truck is in the UK or not.

    It could also be that the truck is too big to film there.
