Update: As site readers pointed out, it turns out that picture is two years old. Between the date (July 27th), the mention of San Pedro (where Bay is reported to be shooting on the same date) and the way the background "fit" Bethlehem and related sets, it seemed like the real deal. Just to be sure, the TF story had an id of 814. Story ID 815 is about Happy Feet and 812 is an interview on Snakes on a Plane so pretty clearly the egg is on me. If only I had noticed the year.
My apologies for the mistake. Thanks to those for pointing out the error. Despite this blog mostly being about speculation and best guesses I do strive for accuracy where possible. Should I delete the entire post or leave it up for posterity's sake?
Latino Review provided a set report from San Pedro and provided a picture of what could be a Constructicon crane. As reported before it appears that San Pedro is being used as a continuation of the footage shot in Bethlehem and includes many of the Transformer cars seen there and mentioned on the call sheets, one of which was identified as a "Constructicon Earth Mover."
The SUV's are probably NEST vehicles. Could the image be a shot of the Constructicon? A place holder for the CGI element that will be inserted later? Just a crane on the set where things happen? Beats me. One source told me that the Constructicon is not one of the group that forms Devastator from G1 cartoon. He is actually a single Transformer whose alt mode is one of the world's largest earth movers. As usual, its all speculation and guesses, but then that is part of the fun.
