VIDEO: Autobots on the roll
Click above to view video after the jump
Michael Bay's first attempt at bringing the Autobots into the real world, the 2007 live action Transformers film, has been all over HBO lately. When looking for HD programming to justify the expense of a flat screen and DirecTV to the Mrs., this movie really hits the spot. So in addition to once in the theater, I've seen it about 10 more times at home. Suffice it to say, I'm ready for T2: Revenge of the Fallen. While we've seen plenty of shots from filming and learned that the once mysterious addition to the Autobots is in fact the Corvette Centennial concept, we haven't had so much as a teaser trailer yet to wet our whistle. The video after the jump is a mere sip, but it will have to do for now. Thought to be shot in Long Beach, CA where filming has moved, it features a caravan of Autobots obeying the most famous of all Optimus Prime orders: Roll Out! The group includes Optimus, of course, and Bumblebee and Ironhide, as well as the Chevy Beat and Trax concepts and the Corvette Centennial concept. There's no sign of any Decepticons yet, but you just wait. Follow the jump to watch the video in high-res for yourself.

It sounds like the Corvette Centennial doesn't have much of an exhaust system!

concept cars usually aren't meant for driving

I live in Long Beach and was shocked when I went to the gym the other night (Tuesday) to see who else sitting next to the parking garage...yep, Optimus Prime! I watched the filming for about 30 mins. They had huge lights lighting downtown LB up like a Christmas Tree. I caught a quick look at Bumblebee and the car looks amazing in person. I think tonight is the last night for filming. If your local, park in the (free) parking lot at the 24 Hour Fitness! Tonight has rumors of huge explosions and differebt pyrotechnics.

At about the 24 second mark, one of those vehicles passed gas.
Either that or it was the guy doing the filming.

In reference to the Corvette:
Pipes after the headers? We don't need no stinkin' pipes after the headers!

Don't get me wrong, I love the first movie, but the 120 minute Chevy commercial is a bit ridiculous.
