SO AWESOME! I saw a truck like Movie Ironhide at a gas station near my work this morning! (I’m going to try to use punctuation other than exclamation points for this, honest.) Damn near identical, with the big tires, black wheels, Road Armor package, big 4x4 callouts, PIAA lights, he- it- was only missing the Autobot symbol on the tailgate and the winch out front, it had the different side mirrors, and I think the stacks are shorter, otherwise identical as far as I could tell. Observe:









Yep, the big guy has gone into construction, rather than Destruction.

If I ever win a ridiculously huge amount of money in a lottery, I will buy one of these trucks, I have decided.

He's alive!

That's one big truck

Next challenge:

Find a G1 Ironhide (I only seen three vehicle that even resembles a vanette in my entire life)

My childhood friends boss (now keep in mind this is what my friend told me) bought the actual truck they used in the movies for $250 grand... He has to rub it in my face that he get's to drive Iron Hide while I'm still mourning his loss.....

That is awesome!

It seems quite rare to see a particular vehicle which reminds me of a familiar Transformer over here in the U.K. but it cheered me up when I spotted a white van with Optimus Primes head all over it!

It belongs to a vehicle hire and transport firm actually called OPTIMUS LOGISTICS LTD based in Bedford near where I work, so just had to take a snap!


The next photo I intend on asking a photo of when it turns up at my work place again is a massive black Dodge Ram... Nemesis Prime!
I spoke with the owner, mentioning Transformers Alternators, also asked how he could afford to run such a beast here in the U.K.? Said it was an LPG (gas powered) which is very economical to run considering its size!

I will try and grab a photo next time he arrives!
