Chad Sterling Frey has joined the Art Department of The Transformers movie, according to his website

I have joined the Art Department of DreamWorks latest project directed by Michael Bay and Production Designed by Jeff Mann. A live action adventure based on the Hasbro toys of our youth, “Transformers” is the story of the war between the good-guy Autobots and the evil Decepticons; each are a race of machines who change form from known Earth objects (a car for example) into a more humanoid battle robot form.  Heavy on visual effects and high on set and location count “Transformers” starts principle photography this summer.

Dark Horizons have revealed one of the locations for the movie:

Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico (right near ‘White Sands’) looks to be a major location for the upcoming film.
