The Autobot Twins return for Transformers 3!

The Twins on set in LA while Bay films Transformers 3; and the first spy footage of a stunt scene!

"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.

@Pockets- Oh well that's nice, supporting racism...good for you :)

It doesn't matter whether or not these pointless characters will come back because the movie will be SHIT. Both of the last films were SHIT and so wil this one.

There seems to be a campaign of disinformation afoot. Pics in this new article lend credence to it only to reinforce its authenticity, while the other one doesn't have pics and is left wanting.

If they are int it, I won't see it. My kid still wants to see Transformers 2 but I won't let him because of those characters. #2 was a fail and #3 will too.

I think they'll end up like Jar Jar or Jazz, either they'll end up in obscurity or get killed off.

C'mon man. Just kill this franchise. I'm sorry but the last movie was just an over the top CGI fest with more holes in it's plot than Swiss cheese.

@ JohnnySmoke Bro, I couldn't sgree more. Love these racist guys that get on forums and say shit that they would never say to someones face.

topgooner187 - 5/11/2010, 6:23 PM
did you like fresh prince of bel air? similar shit their just robots everyone loves that type of comedy. thats why there are thousands of black people who are willing to play "sterotypical" parts. i think the whole world is a little to PC heavy. dude if its funny and people like it, whats wrong with that?

@topgooner187

u just compare Fresh Prince of Bel Air to the Twins i just cant believe it LOL. the Twins who cant read and act really dumb to Will Smith character who can read and he was smart. Fresh Prince of Bel Air was comedy i agree but it showed a young black man who lived in a bad area end and did bad things can change his life around. but the Twins well what can we say about them no much actually.

If they are coming back, I'm hoping that it's to be killed off pretty quickly! :P

Why are we so quick to claim racism. First of all the nature of the twins is not racism, they are stereotypes. Stereotpes can lead to racism, but stereotypes themselves are not racist. Racism involves hate and/or superiority, whereas stereotypes involve assumptions based on common images, i.e. all americans are cowboys. And by the way stereotypes do have elements of truth in them, but doesn't mean they apply to everyone.

With that being said I think these characters are fun. Their robot forms sucked cuz they looked like mice with buck teeth, but their personalities were entertaining. Besides these cars may not even be them, so we could all be jumping to conclusions.

jazzman@ dj jazzy jeff?
topgooner187
topgooner187 - 5/11/2010, 6:48 PM

@topgooner187

so you compare dj jazzy jeff to the Twins he was much smart then the Twins put together.

THEMRTERRIFIC - 5/11/2010, 6:55 PM
I hated the twins! They had no purpose. They weren't funny so you can't say comic relief. And I just read they would not be back. Oh well.
topgooner187
topgooner187 - 5/11/2010, 6:55 PM
jshark@ well said. people need to stop claiming everything as racism its starting to get really tedious, all the time you hear people complaining. you need to start complaining about real things not trash like this thats thrown at you from the bowels of hollywood. there are REAL issues in the world that need dealing with and political correctness is not one of them.
topgooner187
topgooner187 - 5/11/2010, 6:56 PM
jazzman@ dj jazzy jeff is probably the most "stereotypical" you can get.

jazzman@ where has your video gone? i didn't get a chance to see it.
topgooner187
topgooner187 - 5/11/2010, 7:01 PM
mcirish@ bay also said he wasn't bringing megatron back. i think the pictures pretty much speak for themselves.
jazzman
jazzman - 5/11/2010, 7:02 PM
@topgooner187

people are saying its a bad stereotype plus Michael Bay and all the actor said its for the kids. so its alright to paint a bad stereotype to children. did dj jazzy jeff called anyone a b!tchass on the show or said bust a cap in your ass cause the Twins did in transformers.

fanboiii
fanboiii - 5/11/2010, 7:03 PM
I would trust the pictures more than Bay. I remember reading how he likes to spread misinformation.

Anyway if those pictures are true, Bay is an idiot. There's already people claiming the Twins are racist so now he decides to make the cars actually...black? WOW

"i think the whole world is a little to PC heavy. dude if its funny and people like it, whats wrong with that?"

Well how about the fact that kids will, inevatbley, go to see that piece of shit movie and start associating those crappy characters with black people. I mean I get it that there's certainly a placefor more controversial ADULT comedy, which is fine, as I've always said, everything is fair game in comedy...however....if you're sticking that in a kids film then there's a problem.
