"Production of the movie Transformers 3 recently began to ramp up, and our spy photographers were lucky enough to grab a sneak peak of two of the newest cast members on set. It looks as though two new Chevrolet Sparks will be joining the lineup for the third installment of the action flick, adding to a star studded cast that already includes Ferrari’s all-new 458 Italia.
Sporting “Autobot” center caps on the wheels, these two vehicles were captured doing some pre-production work before principal filming starts in a few weeks. We think you are looking at Skidz (green) and Mudflap (orange).
Skidz is looking much sportier than in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with new front and rear fascias, larger fenders, sportier wheels and a big wing. Mudflap was previously based on the Chevy Traxx concept, but for this installment, it appears both cars will be built off the Chevy Spark.
General Motors will once again be the main vehicle supplier for the latest Transformers movie, so expect to see several other GM-badged vehicles, including a black and yellow Chevy Camaro as Bumblebee."
Now onto the photos:
I'm not sure how I feel about The Twins returning for the 3rd installment,hopefully one can only hope that since they have new vehicle modes that they will be a bit more mature and hopefully have better looking robot modes as well.
Transfan Ben Brown comes to us with a video from the TF3 filming in LA.
The scene entails Skids and Mudflap beating up and throwing a smart car.
Ben had this to say:
"Perched on the windowsill of the NeighborGoods office, I recorded this awesome scene from the upcoming Transformers 3 movie. You can even hear Michael Bay yelling at people!
We also saw the Autobot “twins” zooming around. Apparently, one or both of them will transform and beat the crap out of this tiny little car. Totally awesome."
Here is said video:
It was also reported,that the alleyways bore "Autobots GO HOME!" Symbols.
Again,not sure how I feel about The Twins returning,but these new AUTOBOTS GO HOME symbols make for an interesting development.
Until next time,this is Overhaulimus.....signing off.
