Transformers 4 - ongoing news thread

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

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)

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).

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

More photos have emerged (sorry, no link) of a large military style truck with the Autobots - rusty/beaten up looking Megatron in DOTM, but much beefier - speculation is that this might be Grimlock. Maybe no robot mode for him if so? Truck/Dino modes only? Why on Earth am I speculating? No idea.

+1. There were good things about the movies IMO but storyline coherence and a strong sense of internal logic was not among them.

The military truck seems to have the perfect stance/shape to be Bulkhead, but rumour has it that Hound will be making an appearance? It would definitely make sense for them to be using Bulkhead what with Transformers Prime and all, but I suppose time will tell.

As for the other vehicles, I'm kind of on the fence;

Love the modded Camaro, hate the fact that Bumblebee is returning. Though I guess there was never a chance of him not being in it.

I'm really glad they've got the Veyron in to break up the General Motors flavour, but I don't agree that it should be Drift. The Bugatti is the furthest away one could possibly get from a drift car, being that the all-wheel-drive, straight-line monster is built almost exclusively to GRIP. The green Corvette would actually make much more sense as Drift; rear wheel drive, lightweight, and smokes up tyres easily right off the showroom floor. It wouldn't surprise me if JoBlo.com who confirmed these names has gotten them wrong, and I do hope that is the case.

Surely that military truck is Bulkhead, if so it is actually quite a good choice
