The Energon Pub

well today I saw a G1 Ultra Magnus. The real white flat face truck from G1! NOT THE TOY! Well did any of you guys see a vehicle that reminded you of a TF character? Post it now!!!

Yeah now that you mention it , the Toyota Echo Hatchback kinda reminds of the Classics Bumblebee or Cliffjumper!

I saw a nissan looking excactly like classics bumblebee-otch. (reference to seibertron.com)

I did see Meister at the mall a couple of weeks ago, as well as Windcharger. Guess it's easier to see the Alternators, it's just neat when it's the same color scheme.
Oh, and I drive by an F-14 5 days out of the week. I think I'm going to paint a Starscream to resemble it.

Pyroclasm, I think you should paint your F-14 to look like Starscream! Now that would be AWESOME!!

I sat in Prowl at Transforce 2004...

Agreed! I've now seen a mustard yellow Jeep Wrangler twice! And both times I've just stopped and thought: Swindle?....

At the transformations convention here in hellhole-holland,there was a yellow VW Beetle with the text: transformers on the side,and the autobot symbol that appears in the corner of TF movie toy packaging was located on it's roof.

Pyroclasm, Starscream was an F-15 Eagle, not an F-14 Tomcat. F-14s have variable sweep wings and the thrusters are spread wider apart. They are also much larger than the F-15.
Here is the F-14—

Notice the differences? Starscream was the F-15, not the now retired F-14.

jetfire was based on an f14 correct, so he is a candidate no?

Close. Jetfire was based upon the Veritech from Macross (aka Robotech series 1, which is loosely based off of the Tomcat. There are two major differences though: the lack of tail wings on the Veritech, and the differences in the thrusters. Veritechs had vectored thrusters which became the feet, while the thrusters on Tomcats aren't vectored.

Guess I may have misnamed the jet. I can't really tell the difference. I'll get pictures sometime.
