Dear God, please tell me I'm not looking at Optimus Prime...um...I mean...nevermind...

 

I'm not wearing any glasses - is that matte black or what??

 

Not a bad lookin Pontiac.. needs to be lowered

 

optumis was all red when i was a youngster, now hes got flames, oooooh boooooy

 

That's kinda where I was going...apparently they have the original voice actor (Peter Cullen) doing the voice work. How hard would it have been to make the truck look the same? It'll be interesting to see how this movie turns out.

On a thread-related note, I guess it does make sense that they needed a CTT to keep up with the "high speed" filming...

 

Josh, im not the kinda guy who goes to the movies, but from what the trailers look like and growing up with the toys and cartoons i may go see it, actually i most likely will

cheers

Too bad the Optimus pictured above is the wrong truck. Optimus was a flat-nosed Semi truck (don't know the name of it)...with no flames. Still looks bad *** and yes, I'll be there at 12:01AM on July 4 to see it.

 

Original Optimus Prime

 

Ah...the good old days...

 

Yea baby, that's what I'm talking about! ! !

 

yes it is matte to stop reflections on the filmed objects. It's a camera truck.

 

I miss the 1980's nintendo... transformers... my old rubix cube

 

I heard the movie is going to be SWEEEEEET.. Trailers look cool, I will have to see it in the theaters.
