Pics of props for movie, possibly Transformers 2?

ParanoiaDragon · 10/10/2008, 11:17 PM

While heading home to California on monday, I kept my eyes out for "interesting" things that I might see on the freeway, since I knew they were filming in Arizona. The first one, is a helicopter, obviously a prop, could be for GI Joe for all I know. There is a dummy inside it as well, but, I coudn't get a picture of it. We actually passed by the truck carrying it once, but because I didn't get a picture in time, my dad got a guilty conscience & got off the freeway & waited for it to pass again :thumbsup

The next thing we saw, was some wierd, construction type.......thing. Couldn't figure out what it was, but, took pictures of it anyway, just incase, for some wild reason, it ended up being part of a Constructicon or something.

One thing we also saw, was what looked like wings, but, it was going the opposite direction, so, couldn't get a picture of it. Anyways, enjoy what may or may not be for the new movie!

Well the Constructicons are for sure in TF 2 (as is Jetfire...supposedly as a SR-71

). VERY cool pics, and you may be right, as filming is going on all over the place for it.

You images are non-clickable. Can't see bigger views.

Anyway, one of those can't be a Constructicon since Bonecrusher was a jet in the first movie. I guess they will probably make Cliffjumper a Constructicon or something. He'll merge with his fellow Constructicons to form LaserBeak. Michael Bay LOVES to anal rape Transformer fans with his shitty movie(s).

ParanoiaDragon · 10/11/2008, 04:45 AM

Don't know why they weren't clickable, wierd. Anyways, there are 7(that's right, in this movie 7) Constructicons, along with Soundwave & Ravage, not to mention The Fallen, which, I would assume is indeed The Fallen from TF mythology, one of the 13 original TF's to betray Primus, & side with Unicron.

Joe Redifer · 10/11/2008, 06:19 AM

I would leave out the word "original" if you are talking about "Primus" and siding with Unicron. In the original TFs, Unicron is dead, just a head floating around. Not much to side with. No "fallen", either... whatever that is.

I hope the TFs would look less shitty and more distinguished in the new movie. I barely could tell them apart in their robot modes in the first movie. Their design is/was horrible! Transformers needs a proper movie.

Keranu · 10/11/2008, 07:33 AM

Bernie Mac telling off that hoe in the beginning of the movie made up for it.

PCEngineHell · 10/11/2008, 09:05 AM

Nothing made up for it. The fucking things look like demon mechs, not Transformers. The only way they could have possibly done a worse injustice was to re-release and pass off the Go-Bots Battle of the Rocklords movie as a TF film, renaming and re dubbing it.

termis · 10/11/2008, 09:43 AM

I actually just saw the movie for the first time, and my intuitions weren't wrong. Man, they really fucked the whole thing up for the old fans. I just couldn't stand all the busy-wiry looking designs of the autobots/decepticons.

Trey Parker/Matt Stone are so right. Why the hell does Michael Bay get to continue making shitty movies?

As a matter of fact, I had to shut it off after about an hour into it cause it was making me sick.

In the original cartoon & comics, Unicron isn't really "dead", infact, Starscream even made a deal with him in one of the ep's to give him a new body. And Primus is the god of the TF's in the original comics(not the cartoon though), The Fallen, is in the newer comics, adding to the original's mythology. But that's all G1, the movie ain't G1, that's for sure, but I still find them interesting. I'm not thrilled with the designs, but, I've learned to accept them. I'm hoping the designs for new characters in the 2nd film, will lean more towards a more traditional TF look. This is the best we'll ever get, I don't see anyway we'll get TF's the way we want them, so I just put up with certain things I don't like, but, this new movie will be focusing more on TF's mythology, not to mention, supposedly having more focus on the TF's themselves, & less on their interaction with humans(which is one of the things that bugged me about the 1st movie, TOO MANY HUMANS!).

If the leaked Megatron penis-tank images are legit, it's only going to get worse.

Those are some really cool photos, even if it turns out they're not for TF2.

nectarsis · 10/11/2008, 05:31 PM

Newest rumor is that Prime, and Jetfire have some form of combination.

Joe Redifer · 10/11/2008, 09:11 PM

Maybe Devastator will combine with the Constructicons since Devastator was already in part one as a single entity. I wonder if they have some guys in a room that they pay whose mission is "To fuck shit up real good" and then they swap all the names around and the like. I'm surprised that Megatron isn't actually Bumblebee and that Unicron isn't one of the insecticons (which would be Autobots). Unicron wasn't in the comic, that asshole.

QuotePrimus is the god of the TF's

So if the TFs don't pray and/or believe in Him, will they go to Transformer Hell? I'd like to see Jesus battle Primus. Or maybe Primus could transform into a supersonic jet and Jesus could be the pilot.

nectarsis · 10/11/2008, 09:15 PM

Devastator was misnamed, and eupposed to be fixed (as the toy ver was correct).

Joe you seem to know Biblical scripture more than you let on! I'm impressed!

NecroPhile · 10/12/2008, 12:41 AM

Neat pics, but I think the 'constructicon' is just a shipping container handler.

Don't count Starscream out yet! He has big, big plans for that floating head as seen on the show.

Joe Redifer · 10/12/2008, 09:17 PM

I'm still pissed because that pussy Galvatron killed Starscream! Hell I'm still pissed that Megatron became Galvatron. That's like R-Type becoming... Ordyne! And don't get me started on the whole Optimus Prime/Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime thing!

ParanoiaDragon · 10/13/2008, 03:02 AM

TF's do go to hell, or rather The Pit or The Inferno is where sparks/life force go if they were "bad", which is more recent established continuity(recent, as in 10 years ago), if they're good, they join the All Spark, which, is basically inside of Vector Sigma. Unicron was deffinitly in the comics. In that, he & Primus were gods that fought eachother for eons, & then Primus trapped them both in asteroids to stop the fighting, Primus from there created Cybertron, & the TF's(in the cartoon the Quintessons made them) & Unicron built a body for himself(in the cartoon, Unicron was made by a creature called Primacron IIRC). And, believe it or not, Rodimus is supposed to basically be the Messiah. There's a bit of religion in TF's when you think about it.

Joe Redifer · 10/13/2008, 03:23 AM

Maybe you are thinking of different comics. I am thinking the original Marvel comics. I stopped reading them right after Headmasters because they just got too silly. The writing and the art were very poor. Anyway I still have them all up to that point. Give me an issue number with Unicron in it and I will check.

Rodimus is an awful character. All he does is whine (at least in the cartoon). He looks stupid. Anything with flames painted on it is an automatic fail. Everyone hates him, including you. He has no friends. I hope he gets AIDS.

ParanoiaDragon · 10/14/2008, 03:58 AM

I stopped collecting the comics too, I forget where I stopped, somewhere around the Headmasters & I seem to recall the Seacons in one. The art was horrible, & I just didn't like the stories as much compared to the cartoon.

As for Unicron, you can learn all here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Unicron

I didn't see an exact comic number though, but he's in both US & UK Marvel comics continuity, though, it looks like there's been a few retcons on Unicron's exact origin.

Edit-Looks like this is the first issue with Unicron, which, is the issue after the last one I bought
