Aren't there some concept Firebirds being shown also?

Firebird is not an option. GM said the Camaro frame is only for Chevy. Pontiac said officially the G5-9's are the only cars they will release that are sporty.

No Firebirds. None.

We are working with the city to close 3rd Street from Hayes to Polk and Polk Street from 3rd to 1st 7pm - 6am all three days. This will help us maintain a safety perimeter for our work. Local traffic and emergency lanes will be kept open at all times."

Anyone in the area wanna be an extra?

At the beginning of the year, director Michael Bay said that Jazz wouldn't be back for Transformers 2, but it looks like things have changed. TFW2005.com writes:

The Pontiac Solstice vehicle prop of Autobot Jazz arrived on the set of Transformers 2 earlier today. In addition we've received confirmation from a second tipster that Darius McCrary, the voice of Movie Jazz, is now on set as well.

Filming for the sequel is now taking place in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at the former Bethlehem Steel site.

Hmm. so maybe the back of the transformer toy packages are indeed....canon.

[Advocate]

Word. I wish I was near (aka walking distance) to the Bethlehem location.

[kingoffighters]

Why? It is not like there are any real transformers there.

[Advocate]

Barricade, Optimus, Bumblebee, and a new concept vehicle are reported there.

[kingoffighters]

Just cars.
