TFW2005 Member Autobot_Jacer and my fellow staffer Lumpy is bringing us come very cool photos of Transformers 4: Age Of Extinction vehicles heading back to California after completing filming in Chicago.
They’ve managed to grab some close-up photos showing an Autobot rubsign-like insignia on the rusty Cab-Over and a skull logo on the Rallyfighters. Lumpy stated that they did not notice any Decepticon insignia on the two Rallyfighters. Leadfoot was also spotted being transported as well.
Member Tonyformer is also bringing us an image of DOTM Ratchet heading back to Cali. Although they were not much seen on the set, there was definitely some presence of Leadfoot and Ratchet being involved with the 4th movie.
Autobot Hound was recently seen in China where some other vehicles may join him for the continuation of Principal Photography.
Thanks for the pics guys.

I agree.
At least Optimus said something about Jazz towards the end of movie 1. But when Ironhide died, he had no care for his death. Well, that's how the movie portrayed it.
Also, I didn't feel like the "Goodbye my old friend" was good enough. Bumblebee should of tried running towards Que after he died to add more emotion to it.
tonyformer
yeah I agree with you. It's a shame how they off characters just for the sake of making room. But their deaths don't really feel meaningful. No emotion what so ever. Don't get me wrong, a few deaths are needed to stress the point that this is still a war, but make those deaths have some real weight and meaning behind them. Oh well Jazz just died, that's to bad. Ironhide died, really? Oh ill just put my head down and not say a word about it. But wait! Que's dead!? Oh I better wish my old friend a fair well. Lmao!!

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I am most definitely a movie supporter but there is never anything to look forward to it seems when you like a character that isn't prime or bumblebee. They just kill off everyone else just to have deaths. I mean what's the harm in letting them live a little or go on vacation. I would have been thrilled if Ironhide got attacked by sentinel and was put out of commision and ratchet was shown working on him. That still takes him out of the final battle but seems more meaningful than "oh yah the third most recognized bot died with zero recognition". The same will probably happen with ratchet but why do that to a character they could easily leave out and bring back later on. I'm glad I'm not a huge Decepticon fan because those guys never live past a single film. But why get attached to these new autobots like hound, where even if they do Give them personality in this film, and they survive, they will just be on the hopping board for the next?
tonyformer
And I didn't want Ironhide to die but I didn't get what I wanted lol. I think its Ratchets time anyway. They just didn't do his character justice through 3 movies. At least let him go out in a dramatic way and with some meaning and ill be happy.
Ruthie
But…but…but…I don't want Ratchet to die.
transformervic1
IMO it's because he's only seen so much and then he's never with the other bots when there's filming going on. I would even go so far to say that ratchet has gone rogue, as well with a couple other autobots to survive on their own. I have to say, if ratchet
, it's gonna be because of
Namekjohn
lol ty, you know what. That sounds badass make him super huge like in the ps2 armarda game rising from the water and than cut to a human with an autobots gohome sign looking at him and than putting the sign down

It's cool to see the actual cars getting the shit kicked out of them now, Usually, they remained pristine, while the CGI bots got damaged.
tonyformer
It's looking more and more like Ratchet does die. In DOTM, they had 2 Ratchet trucks on set. One was a backup in case the first was damaged. Well, it looks like they indeed used them both this time lol. One they damaged a bit with some broken lights and a dent here and there in the push bar on the front of the truck. But that can be repaired easy after the movie so that vehicle can be auctioned off or donated to the TFs ride. But the second Ratchet truck (bullet holes) was really messed up and it probably a safe bet that this truck will not be so lucky to be fixed. May still be sold or auctioned off as is but the bullet hole truck looks to be a sacrificial truck for his death scene lol
tonyformer
Yeah but the humans making TFs sub plot is actually just theory by many of the members here. We don't even know for sure the humans will make any of their own TFs. Maybe they re-build Megs or build a new weapon based on Cybertrian tech but I'm really starting to believe they will not just build a new TF.
figsdad
How do you all know Ratchet
they are just scratch wounds..
BeeOtch217
I have a theory about the rusty truck and here me out guys: I think it might be Wreck-Gar! Flames aside, This is because of the, well, rust and the weird ambiguous looking symbol on his altmode side. This would make perfect sense considering the "Humans-making-Transformers" sub-plot. He could be an experiment the scientists (Stanley Tucci and What's-her-face) could have created using rouge Cybertronian technology. Tying him to his Animated version (somewhat) of being created on Earth.
…or it could be just Optimus Prime's 1st mode.
Starscreamer95
I think they will be. Just my two cents.
electronic456
Now I'm starting to visualise Ratchet as a poor old man getting gunned down. *sniffle*
If he does return and is set to die. I do wish they can put a lot of emotion into this.
Starscreamer95
If they do it right, I might even cry. Obviously Ratchet is shot at multiple times, has no back up, transforms, tries to run away, gets hunted down, most likely killed. Would most likely be the most meaningful death in the series.
tonyformer
Yeah I hope lockdown is the rally fighter with the skull on it and I hope as well that he is the one to kill Ratchet.
Starscreamer95
Pfft. If Lockdown is the Dread SUV I will be disappointed, greatly. Absolute waste.
However, I will love if Lockdown is the one to kill Ratchet.
tonyformer
Seeing as it looks like that bullet hole Ratchet is on the truck trailer with what looks to be the Dread SUV, there is a chance Ratchet was in a scene or 2 around the time we seen the Dread SUV with the Pagani and grey cab over. There was rumors that one of the two rally fighters may be lockdown. An that could still happen. But what if the Dread SUV is lockdown? And just maybe the 2 rally fighters are runamuck and runabout like in the early draft leak?
Starscreamer95
I'm assuming he will have a hero's death of sorts.
