What that picture is - that is not a complete Transformer. We use detailed puppets for effects for sizing and color - the real effects are later completed but the robots are much more complicated.I keep using "Frenzy" in quotes because it at least invokes a mental image and size that isn't confusing but I seriousily doubt its the same Transformer. A lot of people are theorizing Lazerbeak or Rumble.
I will post soon to tell you all about the shoot.

u mean he didn't mind people sneaking and shooting stuff they're not supposed to? hehehehehe :D
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see how this one turns out in full CGi...
ReplyDeleteThat definately has to be laserbeak..it looks like he's trying to peck his way into the windshield. soundwave must make an early appearance in this one. anyone got any info on what his vehicle mode will be?
ReplyDeleteWell its obvious that the puppet was used for closeups and the CGI enhancement would be that you will be able to see a full body of the character.
ReplyDeleteare they really still shooting at princeton the website needs to update the cheat sheet
ReplyDeleteShooting is done at Princeton. Filming for TF2 is now on temporary hiatus in preparation for a potential actors' strike starting this Monday...
ReplyDeleteI still say it's Ravage. His face evokes cat-like qualities, and he's scratching at the windshield.
ReplyDeleteWhen and where will the shooting be taking place in Wahington Dc????
ReplyDeleteIt took place in Washington DC, like, 3 weeks ago...
ReplyDeleteNitrogenb is right! its ravage look at the face, how it looks
ReplyDeleteNO, it's a BIRD. It has a LONG BEAK type of thing right underneath it's face, and it has a LONG NECK. Also, as Bay said, this is not a complete transformer, so, IF it is Laserbeak, the animators at ILM will have to flesh it out in post.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry "anonymous," but I'm going to have to disagree with you. I've looked at that pic and movie MULTIPLE signs, and I'm just not seeing any beak-like characteristics. Have you ever see a panther, couar in the wild? Their necks are huge, and this "thing"'s neck could go either way. He's clawing at the card in "cat-like" fashion, and his face looks like a cat, for real. I'm very persuadable though, so show me why you believe it's Laserbeak.
ReplyDeleteBased on the avian-like head, I'd say it's Lazerbeak. Just my thoughts...
