GM Facilities Appear in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction

GM Facilities Appear in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction

COCOA, Flor. – While Chevy's Corvette, Camaro and Trax steal the spotlight in the new Transformers 4: Age of Extinction movie, you will also notice some General Motors facilities if you pay attention to the background of certain scenes.

GM's Design Center at the Warren Technical Center, Milford Proving Grounds, and Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn's office all make appearances in the movie. Director Michael Bay utilized the GM Design Center as the movie's headquarters for the United States Central Intelligence Agency, shooting scenes in the lobby, staircase, design dome, design executive garage, and VR room. The office of one of the CIA executives was even staged in Welburn's impressive office. In fact, Welburn himself played the executive, though all of his classic auto memorabilia had to be removed from his office and replaced with CIA props for the scene.

Other GM facilities that appear in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction include the Wind Tunnel Facility at the Warren Technical Center and roads at GM's Milford Proving Grounds which were used to shoot many of the highway scenes rather than clogging up actual roads. The movie's film crew even had to pay special attention to make sure they didn't interrupt the work of the engineers and designers too much while they were filming.
