Transformers vehicles sightings in the US!

December 19, 2009 | By Juliana Heng In Holiday talk and greetings, Toy observations, Transformers |

Chevrolet Camaro 2008 - black color.

Look, it’s “Stealth Bumblebee” without the yellow racing stripes!  I was kinda worried that the driver would mind me taking a photo of his car without asking for his permission first.  The 2008 Chevy Camaro is very hard to spot in LA and Las Vegas where I visited.  This one was seen at Hollywood!

 GMC truck - black color.

This black GMC truck was parked outside the LA hotel I stayed at.  Guess which Autobot from the 2007 live action Transformers The Movie (TFTM) does this vehicle remind you of?

It took me many days to find a GMC truck that resembles Movie Ironhide’s robot mode.  It had to be in black color too, but most of the GMC trucks I came across were not black in color!

Here’s another “Ironhide truck” I spotted in LA.  The road sweeper nearby was a bit puzzled on why would anyone want to take a photo of a truck, LOL!

I also saw many variations of ”Optimus Prime trucks” along the highways, at the truck stops etc., but I was always in a moving bus or tram when I saw them, hence no photos taken.  Nevertheless, none I saw were painted like Optimus Prime in the movie. .

Bridge in LA.

On the last day of my trip, I took a tram in LA and passed by this bridge which I found to be familiar.  Could it be the bridge filmed in the 2007 TFTM, in the scene where Bumblebee got captured by Sector 7?  I haven’t checked my DVD copy of the movie to confirm it.  When I took this photo, I couldn’t help thinking it was. 

I also passed by the tunnel in LA where Michael Bay filmed the scene of Bumblebee transcanning and transforming into a 2008 Camaro, according to the guide of the LA city tour that I took a day earlier.  

Overall, I had an enjoyable time visiting the US.  Someday, I’ll like to go back again to visit the other states and places of attraction.  If you haven’t been to the US yet, you’ve got to visit it at least once in your lifetime, while you’re still young and fit for long distance flights and travel!
