Transformers 2 Pictures Leaked

io9.com — Here are some new Transformers 2 set pics that were making the rounds online. They include the ice-cream truck Transformer (I know!), the Audi R8, and the silver Corvette concept car. They're from the docks at Long Beach but they most likely take part in China as part of the steel-mill sequence that was shot in Bethlehem recently

  • mdjohnson1, on 07/31/2008, -5/+31I'm glad the "greenies" didn't make them use a Hybrid Transformer.

    They could have used my crappy car and called it "Optimus-sub-Prime"
    • npsken, on 07/31/2008, -2/+4I thought that the Transformers were powered on fuel cells?

      At least that's what the cartoon said.
      • thePTS, on 07/31/2008, -1/+4the cartoon had absolutely nothing to do with this turkey, so that is unfortunately irrelevant.
      • tehknotte, on 07/31/2008, -1/+3you have awakened uncle phil
    • PhairOh, on 07/31/2008, -0/+17The energon cube is a zero emissions fuel source.
    • dvddesign, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2Oh jeez, for once I wish there was a line by line digg button to dig one part up and the other part down.
  • DarkSpoon, on 07/31/2008, -2/+69Hey, a bunch of blurry pictures DIGG IT!
    • inigomntoya, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4YES! So obviously there are vehicles of some sort (including a Semi Truck - Optimus Prime's illegitimate child?), some explosions (ala Michael Bay), and some human figures walking about.

      This is gonna be AWESOME!
  • Animental, on 07/31/2008, -1/+15Optimus has his trailer...I wonder what's inside...
    • sandersdamnit, on 07/31/2008, -1/+22It's a Michael Bay movie, so...... probably Mountain Dew or ***** Miller Lite or some *****
    • serif69, on 07/31/2008, -1/+22Explosions.
    • fcrow, on 07/31/2008, -0/+6Lot's of Kool Aid.
    • jdigg06, on 07/31/2008, -4/+3P-Diddy and his dancing ladies
    • sdcarter, on 07/31/2008, -2/+8Awesome. That's what's inside. Michael Bay demands everything be awesome so that's what you get... a whole trailer full of "AWESOME."
    • monkeeofevil, on 07/31/2008, -3/+3loads and loads of pot.
    • SydeffeX, on 07/31/2008, -0/+7"Bumblebee, Quick! I want you inside of me!"
    • MRintheKeys, on 08/01/2008, -1/+0Millions of dollars and boulders of crack.
  • cjacks9, on 07/31/2008, -3/+11I ended up reading about everything except TF2 on that page.
    • KuJo6784, on 07/31/2008, -1/+15Usually when you abbreviate something into 2 characters it requires 2 words, so a TF2 would be more applicable to Team Fortress 2 which is way better than this.
      • Nitesmoke, on 07/31/2008, -0/+10Hell, until I read your comment, I thought he was talking about Team Fortress 2.
  • seanmx, on 07/31/2008, -2/+5this time they are fighting the trustworthicons.
    • diggystardust, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3i can totally see this one having a sad transformer called an emo-ticon.
  • Luke1h7, on 07/31/2008, -11/+4I'm not even gonna bother watching this movie. The first one ***** sucked. Nothing but advertising and cliche after cliche. The first movie I ever walked out on.

    Note: I didn't follow the series when I was young so I didn't expect anything going in, it was just a terrible movie in my opinion.
    • btschul, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2It wouldn't have been as bad if shia laboof had stayed home.
      "WOAH WOAH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!"
      • Hypnotoad8, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Shia LaBeouf was far from the worst problem with that movie. The script was just awful. When Shia's mom asked him if he was masturbating i knew it was going downhill fast, and the first scene with the Sector 7 guy where he told Shia about his girlfriend's stint in juvie pretty much confirmed it.
    • nytejade, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2If I was going to pay money to watch a movie for its drama, acting, and dialogue, it certainly would NOT be Transformers. I mean, what the hell did you guys expect? If you were unsatisfied, blame yourself for watching it in the first place.

      Enjoy it for what it is. A popcorn flick. It's entertaining if you just relax a little.
  • darkchild82, on 07/31/2008, -9/+2Man the special effects were *awesome* in those shots!

    /sarcasm
  • AwwSchucks, on 07/31/2008, -1/+4I was just at that steel mill in Bethlehem. That place is massive and awesome to see.
    • sillymeganlee, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Isn't it? I live in Bethlehem. Unfortunately, they're tearing most of it down to make a casino. =[
      • ileftfark, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Welcome, Lehigh Valley.

        I can attest that those pics are from the old mill, probably from the Minsi Trail Bridge.
      • enotswhat, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Bethlehem Steel the BACKBOEN of AMERICA
  • fcrow, on 07/31/2008, -2/+4I just hope it will be more true to the classic cartoons and less stupid then the first one.
  • ericthegreat, on 07/31/2008, -5/+17Hollywood, please stop destroying my childhood memories.
  • gradivus, on 07/31/2008, -3/+7I will wait for the Rifftrax for it or the reboot in 10 years. Micheal Bay is to transformers as Joel Schumacher is to batman.
  • urbandistrict, on 07/31/2008, -1/+5Are they in the 1940s in the 3rd shot? Fashback or some type?
    • Probatus, on 07/31/2008, -0/+0I thought it looked like it was from the past too.
    • inigomntoya, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2Nah - those old cars look pretty beat up - plus the trucks with the blue headlights lead me to believe that it is a scene in the present, not the past.
  • JRHodes88, on 07/31/2008, -3/+11BURIED because i cant see a DAMN THING!

    http://digg.com/movies/New_Transformers_2_Set_Pics ...
    ^^^^MUCH BETTER PICS^^^^
  • HOTM, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Go Bethlehem!

    Transformers, Musikfest, and casinos, what more could you ask for!
  • alanr19, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4Cool more movie viral buzz. Digg really isnt turning out how you hoped huh Kev?

    "Leaked" is the new "Press release" it would seem
    • mk3k, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Maybe it's what he wants just broad acceptance.
      Not turning out how I hoped. Funny how things tend to go to lowest common denominator.
  • Kenzan, on 07/31/2008, -0/+17AWWWRIGHT! 4 pictures of absolutely NOTHIN! WHOOOOOOO!
  • Mr.Gone, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Meh, no robots no point
  • Zipko, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1A guy I work with had his car towed from one of the sets in Philly. He took his girlfriend to dinner and when they came back the car was gone with a sign on the meter saying that the street had to be cleared for the film shoot the next day. The sign wasn't there when he went into dinner a couple hours before. Luckily he saw a tow truck removing other cars on the street and the guy said they were just moving them a few blocks down.
  • thePTS, on 07/31/2008, -3/+5buried for "transformers"-movie.
  • lukemorris, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1I went to open casting call in Philly for the movie. I didn't get picked sadly, but my friend did. So I guess I can be famous by association.
  • das7282, on 07/31/2008, -5/+2Wasn't the first movie bad enough? And now they have to go a make another!
    • lukemorris, on 07/31/2008, -1/+2Duh they have to. It's movie law. For God's sake they're making a Starship Troopers 3!!!
  • Trifold, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4Meh, call me when they show Soundwave.
    • SpectralSounds, on 07/31/2008, -2/+1Soundwave was in the first one. He was that stupid ***** cd boombox. Needless to say I was very dissapointed.
      • Trifold, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2Pretty sure that was Frenzy, one of Soundwave's little tape minions in the cartoon.
  • btschul, on 07/31/2008, -2/+4Ahh, man. I was hoping they had given Shia Leboof life in prison for drunk driving, effectively halting production indefinitely. Damn it.
  • freezerburn666, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1those some old ass cars
  • rosekevin, on 07/31/2008, -1/+4dugg for megan fox
  • pathouston22, on 07/31/2008, -2/+0Where are the Transformers? They arn't CG, they are REAL! They are real to me!
  • gogog0, on 07/31/2008, -4/+4the first transformers was one of the worst movies i have ever seen. the whole side story was absolute garbage.
    • gradivus, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2*shakes camera* *does that start at the ground and circle up to the heroes face camera angle* *explosion* *slowmotion action sequence that circles the action in a clear ripoff The Matrix* and the line "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, stop."
    • gogog0, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1I'm talking about the whole cliched feel-good, geeky teen wins over the popular girl story. absolute garbage. made me want to vomit. the movie could have been 100x better if they treated it a bit more seriously, had some substance in the side story, and didn't have the main character be a 16 year old nerd.
  • brainlessdumb, on 07/31/2008, -1/+0kweep it comign guys
  • ilistenisee, on 07/31/2008, -0/+0these pictures are terrible...we need koreans to cover the leak with videos and hot female news cast.
  • waydee, on 07/31/2008, -2/+7Buried, first one was ***** awful.
  • drmangrum, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Until they prove they are trying to follow the story lines of the original cartoons, my care-o-meter will stay off.
  • doublefelix, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Almost Dugg for the Craig Ferguson nod (I know!).
  • imightbewrong, on 07/31/2008, -2/+5The transformers movie sucks
  • zephyrnug, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3i see no transformer, just some blurry cars.
  • AdamFitz, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Am I the only one that expected a page full of Megan Fox and got that crap instead?
  • gplpark92, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1audi r8?
    • ShinyDemon, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3The R8 doesn't even have to transform into a robot to kick ass, it just sits there in car form and emits dangerous levels of awesome to take down Decepticons.
      • Rockmaninoff, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1Probably one of the best comments I've read on Digg.
  • brainlessdumb, on 07/31/2008, -0/+0*****
    • gplpark92, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1yeah, i didnt expect that either, but i think theres some deleted scene which tells us a little more.
  • convergent, on 07/31/2008, -0/+7I actually liked Transformers, but never watched the cartoons.
  • shiftless, on 07/31/2008, -1/+1Too bad Shia LeBouf is in it. He made the first Transformers suck more than anything I've ever seen.
  • gradivus, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1*shakes camera* *does that start at the ground and circle up to the heroes face camera angle* *explosion* *slowmotion action sequence that circles the action in a clear ripoff The Matrix* and the line "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, stop."
  • skellener, on 07/31/2008, -1/+4Transformers or Michael Bay in the title - auto bury
  • Josh396, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3I'd rather see some pictures of Megan Fox
  • nattfodd, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1What's more interesting in the article is Heroes' plot teasers down the page. Screw those blurry Transformers shots.
  • 1KrazyKorean, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1cant see *****
  • DigitalHippie73, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Wow, I don't even need to see the movie now!
  • jmpeagle, on 07/31/2008, -1/+1this may be a dumb question, but who else were the villains in the TV show? Were there more villains than the autobots or whatever?
  • Beatmiser, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1I was far more interested in the article about a rebooted Farscape than more Transformers crap.
    http://io9.com/5030662/how-wed-give-farscape-a-bat ...
  • ciano, on 07/31/2008, -1/+2I watched the cartoon. I saw the movie. I loved them both. That's right. I'm not going to bash the live action movie or Michael Bay. In fact, I'd go so far as to say he is my favorite director. Yeah! That's right! I LIKED THE LIVE ACTION TRANSFORMERS MOVIE, I LKE MICHAEL BAY, AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL! GO AHEAD AND DIGG ME DOWN!
    • JackSchittt, on 07/31/2008, -0/+0Dugg.

      Believe it or not, it's actually OK to like something that the mainstream public likes.
  • britblogger, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1wow, four grainy pics of absolutely nothing!
