An anonymous source leaked a call sheet for the third day of filmshooting in Bethlehem, and for the June 5-6 shoot at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. A call sheet is used to direct the cast and other crews to where they need to be, when and what for. It usually includes a breakdown of cast members participating in a scene, brief description of the scene and many other details. All the facts have been spoiler-tagged just in case you change your mind about reading this

The role of the Bethlehem Steel factory:

The factory was remodeled to pass off as a Chinese steel factory in Shanghai. The scenes describe action and vehicle chases occurring along a "Shanghai Steel Yard" and "Shanghai Side Street". The scene is the Autobots, SAS and Lennox's team chasing after Decepticon Audi R8. No mention of the air attacks we've seen in photos and previous clips.

Bethlehem Steel Human Cast:

]The actors involved at Bethlehem Steel were Tyrese Gibson, Josh DUhamel, Matthew Marsden and Andrew Howard. A new addition is Ramon Rodriguez, (from "The Wire") who was cast as "Leo". Rumors circulate that since he is listed at number five on the call sheet, he could be Sam's roommate.

Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox did not film at the site. The call sheet has multiple gaps in the cast numbering which simply suggests that are more principle cast members, its just they didn't work on the scenes on the sheet. It appears the first 12 numbers in the count represents the "core" cast for the movie. One is Shia LaBeouf, 2 is Megan Fox, 3 is Josh Duhamel, 8 is Tyrese Gibson, and 12 is Matthew Marsden. Of note is the gap for 4 (John Turturro), 6 and 7 (one of them is Jon Voight) and 9 - 11. Could some of those be the rumored casting of Nina Dobrev or Aaron Hill?

Vehicles Used:

Three wheeled motorcycles, an Ice Cream Truck, Bumblebee (not in Shanghai), Ironhide, 3 NEST Hummers, 2 Trikes, a Go-Kart, 10 Chinese police cars, an Audi R8 and a NEST semi. Also a Chinese Police helicopter and 2 Blackhawks all equipped with spotlights were used.


Smithsonian Air and Space Museum:

Production's location is the Smithsonian Air and Space Muesum. The schedule is June 5 to June 6. The cast will include Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, John Turturro and Ramon Rodriguez. Based on the scenes it appears they are hunting for something Decepticon-related at the museum, involving the SR-71 Blackbird (with a Decepticon insignia) that is there.

There is also a mention of "Splinter". Not sure if that's a TF or an Autobot artifact for the film. Maybe it's the piece of the All Spark that Prime removed from Megatron at the end of the first movie?

Transformers

Known Transformers at the sites are Ironhide and Bumblebee (at the Smithsonian). Additional NEW Transformers from seem to be Arcee (the motorcycles), The Twins (the Ice Cream Truck), Stinger (a Porsche I think), unknown Decepticon (Audi R8), Wheels or Wheelbot (the Go-Kart?), Jetfire (the Blackbird) and a "Constructicon Earth Mover".

The rumors have been around for a while that the Constructicons and therefore Devastator could appear in this movie. We'll just have to wait and see.

A final note is that for the first movie Bay did use placeholder names for some of the TF cast until a final determination was made. However in pretty much all of them the names became final. The only exception was Devastator instead of Brawl.

Summary

Locations: Shanghai, China and the Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC
New Transformers: Arcee, The Twins, Stinger, unknown Decepticon Audi R8, Wheels, Jetfire, and Constructicons
Alt Modes: Motorcycles, Ice Cream truck, Blackbird, Audi R8, Go-Kart, and earth mover
New Human Cast: Ramon Rodriguez (Leo)

It seems that Bay listened to the fans and included a LOT more 'bots for the sequel
