Transformers Set Visit Reports

Apparently at some point this weekend, the Transformers producers allowed various fans from various websites to do on-set visit for Transformers in downtown Los Angeles. Of course the usual media folks where allowed on site to. The numbers and whatnot are unknown but here are the ones I have come across so far and will add more here as find them. Mostly I will just add the bits that are at least new information to me.

Information revealed
- Robot heights:
Jazz : 13 feet tall
Bumblebee: 17 feet tall
Ratchet: 24 feet tall
Iron Hide: 26 feet tall
Optimus Prime: 28 feet tall
Megatron: 34 feet tall
- Full trailer expected for the holiday season with the plan having at least some Optimus Prime voice work, robot action, traditional transforming noise and "More Then Meets The Eye" theme.
- Jazz vehicle form is a silver Pontiac Solstice
- Ironhide's alt form is a black GMC 4x4
- Ratchet is a Humvee
- Film will have a little background in the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. From what I read it just explains why they came to Earth when explaining the situation to Sam Witwicky.
- An attempt is being made to do on location shooting at the Pentagon, first time allowed since 9/11
- A military unit called Sector 7 is the task force assigned to track down and investigate the alien invaders.
- Voice casting is still wide open, nothing definite but Frank Welker as Megatron is still an option.
- If you are a fan of the Furby, you will experience sadness during one scene where a truck of them catches on fire as the "Energon Cube" grants them life, and if you don't like them, much joy.
- Hasbro has final say on all character designs (thus explaining why the COO keeps commenting on leaked designs).
- Apparently Don Murphy was going to do GI Joe but the Iraqi invasion scrapped the idea so Hasbro suggested the Transformers.
- The hope is to have Soundwave show up in a sequel.
