Just spoke to my brother, who told me.....

- Megatron will be an alien spaceship
- Soundwave will be 4ft high transforming into a boom box
- Bumblebee can't talk and only communicates using voices and songs off his radio
- Filming has taken place at the Hoover Dam
- The budget is $200 million
- Several transformers get killed in the script, so they can bring in new ones for the SEQUEL!
- At the start of the movie, Bumblebee is a 1970s Camero, but at some point in the film gets upgraded to the 2006/7 version. He's not a VW because they wouldn't licence it for the film..

Just told my colleagues all this and they're looking at me like some kind of weirdo...

Excellent! I just hope there's not too much CGI. It could be the ruining of the film.

I think, given the subject matter, CGI will have to play a pretty big part!

That's what I'm worried about!

Jurassic Park's CGI was fantastic and made the film. Compare that to something like The Incredible Hulk where it just ruins it (not that there was a film there to begin with!). With Spielberg in the team, I hope it's really like the former!

Dunno - he's quite plugged into movie related stuff and it's normally very accurate!

The detailed info is on most sites at the moment (aintitcool etc) but whats above is slightly different to what i've read in several different places.....

- Megatron is a jet fighter of unknown design, not really a full on spaceship so I've heard but not far off I suppose. But "Jt fighter" is definately the phrase I have heard continuously.
- Soundwave I've heard is maybe 7ft and he works in conjunction with "Brawl" (the new Mustang Police car, pictures all over the net).
- filming is taking place all over, including a scratch built iraq village in the nevada desert where special forces will fight "Skorpinok" a decepticon who's robot form is a scorpion like thing that can borrow through sand (think tremors like scene maybe?
- Skorpinok actually attaches to another decepticon and helps make up a modern day combat helicopter (Apache Longbow maybe?)
- The reason bumblebee converts from old Camaro to new Camaro in the film is explained by the fact that the Transformers disguise themselves by scanning objects they wish to use as a disguise. Bumblebee is damaged early on and apparently has to mimic the first thing he see's (the old camaro) later when fixed he chooses a new more up to date disguise.

But the best bit

- Optimus prime is a white & blue Mac truck !!!!! (YAY)

There are loads of pictures from the set all over the web including some superb pictures of Brawl and Bumblebee mid chase at night. There is also so fantastic pictures of a Decepticon tank called "Devestator" parked on the back of a transporter and its bleeding massive!!!

This robot might be released at the same time as the film; maybe an expensive line of toys?
(providing this one didn't break as it fell off the table)

Thats nothing to do with the film but is part of a competition.

Saw the thread and dived right in, sod the others I'd opened up in other windows!

Sooo looking forward to this - I was kiddie-age (10,12?) when the first movie came out, this has the potential to be very cool...

...but also a big turd if handled wrong.

So Stephen, if you're reading, please don't foul up our childhood memories!!!
