Transformers 4 - ongoing news thread

[griffin]

The three vehicles have been added to the TFMovie facebook page, with this...

Check-out the re-envisioned and remodeled Autobots on Highway 163 in Monument Valley near the border of Arizona and Utah. New vehicles include a completely upgraded, custom-built Optimus Prime from Western Star (a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America) plus two completely new characters: a special race-inspired C7 Corvette Stingray, based on Chevrolet's upcoming 2014 production car and a classy 1,200-horsepower Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse worth more than $2.4 million!

He certainly knows how to go for the most expensive vehicles he can find.

Two more vehicles have been spotted at the Arizona filming....

One that looks to be a black 60s Camaro (Bay seems to be a big fan of that car type).

AND... one that looks to be a nod to Gen1 Optimus (like there was a nod to Bumblebee in the first movie), being a square cab truck, which is too "old" looking to be just a crew vehicle. (and it kinda looks like an Autobot symbol on the front) Maybe it's Ultra Magnus... which would pair up with Galvatron (if he is actually in this movie), and gives Bay another chance at doing a super-powerful-awesome-explosive powerup scene as Ultra Magnus merges with his armour.

I like the look of that Camaro, interested to see how much the robot mode has changed (if at all)

Is anyone else thinking Stunticons??

The 1967 Camaro has been confirmed as Bumblebee apparently.

Don't mind the black. I wonder what the storyline reasoning was behind the choice of the '67?

[GoktimusPrime]

Michael Bay =/= storyline reasoning

If you had the cash those Veyrons are worth every penny. Especially in blue.

Fun Fact:

I dont know if its still the case but VW (who owns Bugatti) used to take a loss on every Veyron made. Back in 2007 they cost close to $10 million each to make and were being sold for $2 million. They were prepared to take the hit purely so they could say that they produce the worlds fastest street legal production car (which it still is). I assume now that they have managed to get the cost down but I can't find any recent info on what they cost to make.


Hey I just realized, if we're getting an Autobot Bugatti (which is owned by VW), it stands a good chance that we may see MP Jazz and Bumblebee (whose alt modes also reside under the VW umbrella)

Fun Fact 2: (my fact)
The Bugatti Veyron is the ugliest super car to ever be made.
I wish they could do a Lamborghini Aventador Transformer, that would be sexy.

It was never made to be 'sexy' (But I think it looks awesome). Every inch of that car is designed for practicality. It's shape is basically determined by the laws of aerodynamics. All the air that touches it serves a purpose. Whether it is used for aerodynamics or cooling.

I wish they could do a Lamborghini Aventador Transformer, that would be sexy.

FansProject Car-Crash is an Aventador.
