Transformers: The Ride Soft Opens at Universal Orlando
by Unknown
Universal Studios Orlando has opened Transformers: The Ride starting this weekend. The "soft opening" is not the official grand opening of the new attraction but something that is done a few weeks before to work out any kinks and problems that may come up. As a result The Ride may be open and closed at random times of the day depending on whatever needs they have to address. The grand opening of The Ride is scheduled for June 20th. Below are several videos that show off the new attraction from outside, in the queue and portions of The Ride itself.

Bumblebee's Alt Mode Confirmed for Transformers 4
by Unknown

What kind of customizations have been added? Pro-Touring forums might have some ideas as they have noticed that the custom design of Bumblebee seems to match what "Mr Vengeance" built two years ago for his '67 Camaro. The details on his mods are here. Thanks to J1000, Tony and others for the links.

First Look at Bumblebee's New Alt Mode? (Updated)
by Unknown

Update: Added to more images from mar10stm and killersquirrell that showcase the potential Bumblebee vehicle. With all the black and what appears to be a much older design, starting to think this is Jack Reynor character's race car and not a TF alt mode.

Names of Two New Autobots Revealed? (Updated)
by Unknown

Bay's Shoot for the Edit admin commented, "This is the 4th movie, you would think these guys would've learned by now that production names DO NOT EQUAL final name". If take his statement literally, it seems the names are correct but the final decision has not been made on keeping them. Despite his claim, most of the pre-production names for the characters went on to be used in the movies and toys. All this remains in the rumor category as Optimus Prime is currently the only officially confirmed Transformer character returning to the franchise. The site tweeted the below video to show off the speed of the Bugatti.

New Vehicle Mode of Optimus Prime Revealed (Updated)
by Unknown

Update: Below is the same image but modified by Jeffrey Marshall of Pixel Rally so that it is less "sepia-toned." The result is the colors of Prime really pops out. While still not a big fan of the flames, I do like his Transformers Prime-like shape.

Images From A Transformers 4 Farm Set (Updated)
by Unknown
New photos from a potential set for Transformers 4 has popped up on Instagram. Taken by blackdaggerbrotherhood from Austin, Texas the images (below) show a farm set. Its exact purpose is not known but the user applied a lot of hashtags to go with the pics, the key ones being #transformers4, #fbi and #chase. I don't think filming has started there, just that the site is being prepped for it. Thanks to Mauri D. for the link.
Update: Mauri spoke with blackdaggerbrotherhood and he said he was part of the crew that built the roads around the barn, house and pond for a chase scene while "did not do any of the cosmetics on the building ...will be assisting the stunt crew with ramps and stuff." Sounds like a lot of fun.
