Chevy Beat TF Name Revealed
The name of the Chevy Beat has finally been revealed as Skids! The G1 Transformers was a blue van back in the day and was mostly used in the Marvel Comics line. I don't think the character even recieved a line in the cartoon series. The name was revealed via Jalopnik when Matthew provided them with pictures of the Skids, Bumblebee and the Chevy Trax from the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. Sadly it appears the Trax doesn't have its license plate installed so its name remains a mystery. Transformers 2 production (not sure if 1st or 2nd unit) is at Coronado, CA today to film scenes for the movie involving pyrotechnics, according to the city's website. Since gunfire and the like is involved it wouldn't suprise me if Bay and company is at Coronado and 2nd unit is at the Boneyard. Thanks to Ann for the information. The San Diego Film Commission and Naval Base Coronado are working with DreamWorks Productions for a day of filming on Naval Base Coronado. They will be filming an action sequence near the bunker at the south end of Naval Base Coronado approximately a mile north of the Imperial Beach city limits. The work will take place from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursday, October 9 and will include gunfire and small explosive visual effects. It is planned that the gunfire and pyrotechnics will take place between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. There will be production trucks and trailers, generators and lighting equipment used on site. The Film Commission, the Navy and the production company acknowledge that the filming may create a disruption and have indicated they will do their best to keep the disturbance to a minimum. The location manager Marc Meeks and San Diego Film Commission representative Kathy McCurdy will be onsite during the entire project. |

The TFW TF2 Insider brings us more news about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This time we can exclusively reveal both alternate modes for Soundwave. He will appear in a Cybertron mode, which will turn into a satellite, and he will also appear in an Earth mode - this will be a pickup truck.

Shia and Megan at Tucson, Boneyard Sets
On Location News has posted a few pictures of Megan Fox, John Turturro, and Shia LaBeouf as they where on Transformer 2 sets at the Tucson International Airport and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base's Boneyard around October 8th. The images just show them standing around and talking, considering the lack of lightening, crew and cameras I doubt a scene was being filmed. Below are a few sample pictures from the 16 picture gallery that you can find here. Thanks to Rich for the find. Transformer Inspirations Sadly it seems not much info is coming out about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen front. So below are some stuff I stumbled across over the last week or so that seem to be examples of how Transformers have inspired many. The first from China is various Autobot like robots built from junk yard parts. They remind me of the Alternator line. The full gallery is here. Next up apparently de-classified video of the F-35 Lightning II that shows lots of Transformer like inspirations. Sadly it doesn't turn into an actual war robot. The military should probably consider that for version three. More info here. |
