Seibertron.com member Albershide has let us know about several new YouTube videos from the Transformers 3 filming at the Kennedy Space Center, located near Cape Canaveral, Florida. The videos show several car-related action sequences being shot in and around the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). The Autobot vehicles in the videos include Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Optimus Prime, the "Wreckers", the Ferrari Italia 458, and the Mercedes E-class, all previously seen in other filming locations. There are also a number of images from the filming at the Space Center on the Orlando Sentinel website. The gallery includes some detailed photos of the NASCAR "Wreckers" on set as well as some military helicopters doing some fly-bys. A few of the images can been seen below, the rest on the gallery can be viewed by clicking here.

Wow, this could be the most comprehensive group of links ever assembled on the web.

Seriously, they need to hire you to do the extras on dvd sets, man. No more missing material and things left out!

Sideswipe operates on something called an eight-cylinder "V8" internal combustion engine to the least of my knowledge. Possibly a General Motors LS3, LSA, LS7, or LS9 engine.
That was sarcasm in the first sentence FYI. If you can't see the driver, you must look really close. The top of the driver's head is visible at some points.

Wait a minute...where's Ironhide??? I hope he doesn't die in the movie. Also, I've seen nothing of Skids and Mudflap recently. I wonder if they die too.

WTF? He's not down as low as you think. There is plenty of room.

Yeah I want the toys too, but Hasbro will definitely simplify them beyond belief, taking note of all the guns, guns, and more guns that add a lot of detail and complexity. And they will most definitely be simplified condidering their size which would translate into deluxe figures. The probably also won't be able to change into the standard stock car mode either, just the "armed" mode.

The idea of this thread is to contain only links to videos from the TF3 set. Please don't post comments here about completely different things. It will make finding links here harder.

Thanks.

Here is a video of Michael Bay joking. I'm happy that he looks at the funny side of things. Here is the clip with Bay joking:

Here is a video in which according to the guy who took it Prime gets blown (maybe his trailer) and Shia screams: "They are everywhere":

A nice video summary about Bumblebee's accident. You can see also Sideswipe spinning on the take before the accident (1:22 min.):

:lol:

I saw that somewhere else, and I totally agree. He still does look like a dork when he's writing in that notebook, though. But yeah, the paparazzi guy deserved that.
