Queensway Bridge Explosion Video, Pictures

Gettodeath, of the Autobots video, has struck again, this time with video and pictures of filming on the Queensway Bridge in Long Beach, CA yesterday.

The video shows filming in a highway portion as cars suddenly peal out of the way to probably avoid a CGI Transformer. After that it shows a massive looking explosion with debris flying everywhere. Pretty cool looking.

In addition he provided more pictures of vehicles including a blue Chevy Volt. In the third vehicle you can see what might be the same car (or just another prop car) as it crosses an intersection. The last picture is more of the aftermath of the explosion from the video.


Thanks to Gettodeath for the video and images.

Update: Removed reference to Volt being a prop car (as probably isn't) and also added below pictures which have been enhanced by Keith (thanks!) to better show off the vehicles details.

  4. I have to say when those chinese police cars blew clear over the highway,the crowd around me, started cheering! I have to say they are doing one hell of a bang up job with them! This whole scene is going to be a nice battle in the movie.

  6. Is that blue car the Chevy Volt? The front looks very similar to the teaser shots of the production model...http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/08/14/new-shots-of-the-production-volt/

  7. At the very end, everyone ran over to the other side of the bridge to see the if cars had went to the other side. So i ran back to the side that was empty and got that aftermath photo. Then some guy ran over to me and told me "no pictures, delete that one you have" i told him that the picture didnt even take because the flash didnt go off" So i ran back to my car and came home. oh yea, i almost got arrested last night to...haha..

  8. thx gettodeath.

    that blue car makes me curious. it looks to new to be just a prop and why should i prop ride alongside ironhide?

    but its the first time we see the blue car, so it might be a prop.

    speculations speculations, that makes it fun.

  10. You know my thoughts were Bluestreak. Just my first thoughts on the car.

  11. That Blue car is definitely not a Chevy Volt, none of the design looks anything like the Volt concept. Whatever car it is, looks sweet, any other suggestions?

  14. I stand corrected, after seeing the video on TFW2005, I retract my previous statement...It IS a Chevy Volt, and I think it looks better than the concept. Definately bluestreak!
