TFW2005 member Prowl was on hand in Taylor, Texas today while Michael Bay and crew worked on filming of Transformers 4. Doing his level best to not show that he was taking pictures and filming, Prowl has been nice enough to share with us what he got to witness first hand today! You can check out the video below:
Additionally, Prowl and Comicbookmovie.com have both posted still photos for us to enjoy as well. You can discuss the Comicbookmovie.com photos in this thread, or click the title bar to discuss Prowl’s video and photos.

But it's not mass shifting. Mass shifting to me is going from a hand gun to a 30 foot robot lol. Besides, the twins both together were an ice cream truck that was the same size as one of their single car forms. Isn't that mass shifting? The AllSpark mass shifted in movie 1 did it not? Soundwave in ROTF was the size of a satellite that is the size of a bus, yet in DOTM he's a small sports car. Megatron went from being much much larger than Optimus in the first few movies to a truck that had a smaller cab than OP but the cab and trailer together transformers into Megatron and even than, Megs was the same size as OP. look at Starscream in jet mode. He is 62 feet in length but when he transforms he's only 31 foot tall.

It is!

If anybody was curious the brand of truck is a Marmon Cab over. according to the Marmon website that is the exact name of it. they quit manufacturing trucks in 1997

Yeah, I can see some blue, white, brown rust and flames, but no red bottom.
evac167
Im still scanning over this truck and The top and bottom look very similar in color. I see a very very light whitish blue color underneath some of that rust. I think its two shades with some rust mixed in

But since Bay is against Mass Shifting, this would leave no room for Optimus's arms.
Lazerwave
But does that shout out Optimus?

I do see the cut out. Looks like an autobot logo to me. I'm not sure the top is blue though. the stripe in the middle is for sure white and the bottom is a rusty reddish brown color. I see blue dents and dings in the truck. Im not sure about the top part of the truck
Lazerwave
I can see it. It looks to be Autobot.
tonyformer
Do you see the cut out logo next to the door handle too?
evac167
Thank you for the much clearer picture. I have been searching instagram all day to find that same picture. I found the blurry version very early this morning. I do see the different shades of color now that its clear. Love the blue Led lights. They do though stick out like a sore thumb on that truck
tonyformer
And now seeing the bot logo on the door of the old truck confirms that it is at least a bot and closer to it being OP.
tonyformer
Because a TF can rescan and take on the look of another vehicle lol. The same way bumblebee has scanned or taken on 5 different Camaro types. The same way the twins were both 1 ice cream truck but split and scanned their own new forms. The same way Megatron went from a flyer to a tank to a truck. If they kept the same parts, Megs would have had wings and tank treads on his truck mode lol
neevnav
Definitely blue cab lights up top.
Bumblebee765
I see that white stripe, but that's it… Sorry.
Lazerwave
Just one question, if the rusty truck is Optimus, why is the nose of the truck missing? Because say if that nose transformed into his arms, with no nose then wouldn't he be missing some parts of his body?
tonyformer
you found it Sam!!! There is your bot logo guys. I told you he was my CIA guy. He can find anything!!! Simmons has Dutch, I have Sam lol
