New TF4 Photos Show New Autobots
Daily Mail has posted some new on-set photos of some of the Transformers 4 vehicles. The first is a photo of six vehicles which are all probably Autobots. Two of the six are vehicles we haven't seen before. One is some type of military truck and the other seems to be a white Chevy ambulance. This could possibly be a new alt mode for Ratchet. The last photo is a close-up of the military vehicle thanks to Sam of the S4TE boards.
TF4 Bumblebee Revealed
The speculation of the car seen on set was correct. Bumblebee is indeed the black and yellow 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS. It'll be interesting to see why Bumblebee decides to revert back to a vintage Camaro and if he will eventually scan a 2014 Camaro during the middle of the movie. Stay tuned for more reveals and on-set photos!
Michael Bay Dot Com: "Bumblebee as a highly modified, vintage 1967 Camaro SS."

Possible Names for New TF4 Autobots
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIYVBqvd45E0YTCqlL2QjgaJKXn2nPCBZHQOS_WDiAOffCATFXRCdmkJprZJmUZ2Xi1l9Y1D5nMRkjpQfb_UzQN-2HM0lp9tLj0U-v9iA1RMTa85jeFb5Mk5vOeorTUZbZHuRIbkYX0oQ/s320/drift-transformers4.jpg)
“This is the 4th movie, you would think these guys would've learned by now that production names DO NOT EQUAL final name.”
This does prove that the news is legit, but as for now, Drift and Slingshot are only production names and are not the official names for the new Autobots.

TF4 Chinese Reality Show Casting Begins
The Chinese reality show that will allow four actors to appear in Transformers 4 has started its casting process. According to The Hollywood Reporter, 50,000 to 80,000 Chinese citizens are expected to enter the competition. There will be six judges on the show, which is being compared to an acting version of American Idol, and Michael Bay will have some input on the winners. After online applications are sent, those who qualify will be given their own website with a photo, bio and an audition. All participants must speak at least some English. Voting and auditions will wind down the contestants down to 400 and then another unspecified number. The finals will be aired on Chinese television as five, one hour long shows on Sunday nights. If you can read Chinese or just want to check it out anyway, the show's official website can be seen by clicking here.
