DISQUS

Umbrax · 1 year ago

Since they never killed him in the first movie I guess they decided to blow him up this time around.

josh · 7 months ago

lol just because they have multipul cars of the same one dosnt mean hes gonna get blown up cuz they always have a few just in case one gets recked i the filming proccess.

Good catch Neil. I've been starving for some good Transformers news.

FFN · 1 year ago

Hi Neil. They always have multiple cars in movies, simply so they have backup vehicles in case of mechanical breakdown. All of the main character cars and trucks in Transformers 1 had at least 2 spares if they were modified stock vehicles. Heavily customised or custom-built guys such as Prime and Camaro Concept Bumblebee had 1 spare vehicle.

What's funny is Bumblebee will still be a concept vehicle when the film is released in 2009 even though it's likely that the production Camaro will have been released by then.

This is awesome-and to me, with my huge imagination, like we're in the Tranformers universe..spying on Transformer sightings. Ha I just KNEW Michael couldn't hide everything from us.

He never died-it'll be cool to see one of my faves back in action.

Junaid Ahmed · 1 year ago

Wow this is pretty cool! This looks like a Saleen Mustang S281 RF probably the SuperCharged version or the S281 simply from the looks of the front-end and the classic rear-end bumper/spoiler combo. Ford is definitely putting out their cars and suvs in all the new movies to gain traction. So far this will be 4th movie to show-off the Might Mustang.

1st. Transformers
2nd. I Am Legend (intro scene, and trailer)
3rd. Knight Rider (pilot movie/plus more to come!)
4th. Transformers 2

It might also show up in other movies, but these are the ones I noticed so far.

Awesome pictures btw! Definitely loved the movie.

Whatever did happen to Barricade in the movie? I think he last appeared in the freeway chase scene but he never shows up for the fight in the city.

nobody · 1 year ago

has anyone considered that maybe these are the ones used in the original movie and theyre just being moved somewhere?

plus, just because theres more than 1 prop doesnt mean the movie calls for clones of the character in the movie. one of those props might be only a mockup and has no engine, the other might be setup for inside shots looking out through the car, the other might be setup for chase scenes, the other for still shots. or they might all be identical and the copies are just insurance if any of them get damaged.

in any case, nothing is known and anything anyone writes about these pics that isnt official from the Bay camp is just wild speculation.

Neil Miller · 1 year ago

@nobody

You are absolutely right. These could very well be cars from the first movie, just being moved around. There is nothing wrong with a little speculation though, especially considering the fact that Michael Bay has been so engaged in getting production started. Things were scheduled to get rolling in June, but it wouldn't surprise anyone (at least I hope it wouldn't) if Bay moves it up.

At this point, we don't know for sure -- but that won't stop us from getting a little giddy about these cars being out of storage for an afternoon.

@tedrick

We are left to assume that Barricade gets away from Optimus Prime, as he drives off during the highway scene. But I have been told that in the novelization of the film, Barricade is killed by Optimus Prime right after that scene takes place. The gap between the novelization and the actual film could have been intentional, with Bay leaving more Decepticons for the sequel. But that is just a theory at this point.

If you make your background image bigger than 10px, you won't have that annoying flicker
when scrolling. just double it a couple times. file size will be negligible.

Neil Miller · 1 year ago

@concerned visitor

Thanks for the tip. We will do that.

john · 1 year ago

I would say there is a Transformers #2 Just wait it the end of the credits you'll see the setup for #2. Hate to be a spoiler but the movie is on DVD. Plus there have been other reports that it's being created.

kieran · 1 year ago

this is friggin awesome. mr. bay should ask me to join the cast of transformers 2 even as
an extra i would be glad. even the smallest part is a big part for me. heeh mr. bay cast me
as an extra please!!!!!!

Brandon Harshe · 1 year ago

You know... Barricade never showed up to the city battle and Starscream definitely didn't give his all to get the cube back... could these two be co-conspirators? Could be a cool concept.

Kevin B · 1 year ago

Im guessing these are just from the first movie. I remember a couple years ago, before the movie came out, I was in downtown LA, and I saw a couple saleen cop cars on a trailer. I snagged a picture with my phone, then a couple months after the movie came out i was looking through my pictures on my comp, and sure enough it was barricade, complete with matching car numbers and everything.

Telkom · 1 year ago

Another Transfomers! /me starts salivating
Another good reason to get a bigger HDTV and an extra sub for the home theatre system :)

Cataclysm · 1 year ago

They had 3 Barricade cars for the first movie, so this isn't anything new, besides that they are obviously doing something with them.

Ahmed: Barricade was/is a S281E, although it uses the stock Mustang GT engine. It also has nothing to do with Ford, as GM sponsored Transformers, and Saleen supplied the S281E (Saleen is listed as a manufacturer).

subcorpus · 1 year ago

i dont think they are filiming it just yet ...
but this does get us anxious ... and makes the wait harder ...
hehe ...

http://www.allsparkcube.com/ · 1 year ago

I just loved the special effects in the 1st movie. I really am looking forward to #2.

Optimus117 · 1 year ago

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, and I doubt it matters, but I found the fact that the "third" Barricade on the trailer is missing a top strobe bar... Perhaps a stage in his transformation towards the "Recon Barricade" toy we've seen? Or just something they didn't add to that car yet?

Kirk MIller · 1 year ago

^^^LOL, so you noticed it too?

ANd I though I was the ONLY one!

Säbelrassler · 1 year ago

What I find strange is why these cars aren't covered during transport. Unless they wanted to do a little on-the-road marketing or something (which happens to be the case at least now, given this article), one would think that not only would they want to keep the vehicles from the public eye, but also to protect them from getting damaged on the way.

Optimus117 · 1 year ago

What I REALLY want to know is how they're going to explain Barricade's mysterious disappearance. Especially given the novelized Prime/Barricade fight...

Optimus117 · 1 year ago

Oh, and Kirk, I guess that just makes us the observant ones...

Templeton Peck · 1 year ago

I happen to work in downtown LA (where they filmed the final battle scene in T1) and the other morning when I was coming to work I saw the tell-tale Porsche Cayenne with cameras mounted on it driving down Flower Street with police escorts behind it. Didn't really see anything interesting that they were filming but the Cayenne was swerving a bit. Perhaps getting some footage to help mock up another LA fight scene? I was groggy so of course I didn't bother taking any pictures. Useless.

Neil Miller · 1 year ago

@Templeton

Keep an eye out... If you see anything that might be more than meets the eye, snap some pics and send them over!

Optimus117 · 1 year ago

HECK YEAH! You know our man Bay loves his camera cars....
BTW...... I'm not sure how much "leaked" stuff you guys have seen yet, but I've read the early, "unofficial" treatment for TF2 (basically a pre-script storyline and scene breakdown, kind of like a screenplay), and let me tell you, WHOA. Here's a list:

Soundwave finds and nurses Megatron back to health. (sound=energy, energy=revived Megatron)

The REAL Devastator

Ultra Magnus - Car carrier (thank goodness), and apparently getting a scene vs. Devastator in which he power slides sideways down the freeway, dropping several tumbling, transforming Autobots as he goes, all outside Vegas. OH. YEAH.

Hot Rod - Red Ferrari (SWEET!)

Shall I go on? Very well.....

Aerial dogfight between Megatron and Starscream (yes you read that right)

"Final Battle" in Las Vegas

Oh, and apparently Sam and BB spend their spare time owning street racers...

So, needless to say, we're in for one AWESOME ride. Even if this only happens in part, or we just get a "version" of this treatment, it'll still be awesome.

So....thoughts....?

Frank Williams · 1 year ago

COOL! Can't get enough. I've loved the transformers since the early cartoons.

Princeton U. Student · 1 year ago

Filming in Princeton New Jersey today. Bay is directing a scene on Washington roan near the
University ..

Michael · 1 year ago

Come-on are any of you true Transformers fans? :) My theory is that Barricade is a double spy. And he is hopefully in reality my favorite transformer, Prowl! Even in the prequel book to the movie Barricade doesn't fight much. And it doesn't really show him die in the movie book. Prime throws him and he hits part of a wall. This would explain perfectly why in the movie he doesn't take part in the final battle. Because he is the Autobot Prowl!

tafg · 1 year ago

i didnt check when this was posted but yeah good eye is it filming as we speak

JJvigil · 1 year ago

I love that car,has anyone confrimed his presence in 2?we started building a replicar feb 2007 and almost have it finished.we want to go see TF2 in the car by 2009.If any new news is posted,let us know.It would be a bummer to show up and Barricade isnt in the movie.But we would show up wnyways.

WhyNotV2 · 1 year ago

@Michael ...or is Barricade really Mirage? Mirage was a spy as well.

@cataclysm ...not only is Barricade a Saleen Mustang, it was said somewhere that
essentially the studio went to Ford to ask permission to use the Mustang and Ford was
pretty much all good with it until they asked how and Bay/studio said the mustang will get
it's butt kicked by the Camaro. Ford said nope, not going to happen. Steve Saleen
approached the studio/Bay after hearing this and said that he owns the rights to the
Saleeen Mustang and they could use that for the movie. The rest is history.

Stev · 1 year ago

Am I the only one who noticed this? The two cars are different, aside from the front ends
looking a little different, the front car does not have the strobes on top... not sure what that
means...
