I swear to crap that every semi I see makes me think of Optimus Prime. Especially the red ones. Or the blue ones. It doesn't even have to be in the cab-over-engine configuration. If it's a big honkin' semi truck, that's good enough for my demented mind.

I do it, too. And every night when I hear Blackhawks and other choppers over my house, I think of Blackout. I saw a red Solstice a few weeks ago, and of course I thought of Jazz.

I'm overseas and I don't get to see American trucks. Well, civilian anyway. But I do spend a lot of time staring at the tanks, helicopters and other fun things here and let my imagination take off. I've been searching for a Buffalo (Bonecrusher) for over 2 weeks now. They are rare but they do come through here from time to time or so I've been told. And once in a blue moon, we get a MH-53 in here. But that is super rare.

When I see a semi-truck, I think of Optimus Prime and where his trailer goes when he's not using it.

No, seriously, on my way to the X-Games last week we saw a same-model Peterbuilt as OP at a gas station, and I turn to my friend (also TFan) and say, "Dude, what model truck is that," he says, "I dunno," and I say, "The prime model." We commence to geek out. I then later say, "I wonder if it keeps its Matrix above or below the engine."

I look for stupid things like that. I haven't seen a Solstice yet, but I have seen goldenrod H2s, a GMC Topkick (not the Ironhide edition though, pretty standard), and my '90 Camaro looks like a red Bumblebee - so yes, the dead car in my driveway looks like a movie-style Cliffjumper.

I don't get on the road much, but when I do I see a lot of trucks, and my geeky fangirl self squeals with glee everytime I see one that looks like Optimus. :3

Also in the town that I live I see tons of Mustangs. On one SINGLE trip from my house to the mall I saw 34. Thirty-four. Kind of pathetic, no? I'm just waiting for a Mustang looking like Barricade to show up one of these days. xD

by **RatchetMD** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 1:13 pm

Yes. I also think of Bumblebee when I see yellow cars.

by **Predaprince** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 1:20 pm

I saw G1 BB on Friday.

I kid you not.

An old yellow bug exactly the same as the original VW that G1 BB turns into and, just to add to things, the driver was, of course, a big guy who didn't look like he should be in such a small car.

I do it too, its like an automatic response.

Though when I see semis, I see them as whatever character they are closest to, Prime, Magnus, Motormaster, Nemesis, Scourge etc

My imagination runs wild when I see construction equipment, those vehicles just look like they are ready to transform any moment.

When your driving on the highway and you see a semi truck....
Do you think about the grill coming apart like prime did the first time in the movie...

No but when ever I see a car on the side of the road or parked in an odd place I stare and think maybe, just maybe.... :-P

Oh man, if only!

I once saw a Red Flat nose, it was a total geek moment, but I also think of Prime when I see a Peterbilt

by **AUTOBOT STITH** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 5:54 pm

I saw a Mustang that was yellow and had the very same markings as BB.Optimus Prime is a Mac Truck.

by **Auto Bot** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 10:47 am

I would think of Prime everytime i saw one of those trucks.

by **Siren Prime** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:09 am

Every single stinking time I see a semi (or a camaro for that matter) I can't help thinking about the TF's...
I'm such a nerd.

Yeah, I think that too

and also when ever I see a green Ambulance, which we have in our area

by **AUTOBOT STITH** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:47 am

When I was going home one day.I saw a ambulance with a pulse mark on it but it was not green.I also saw a Pontiac Solstice that was silver and looked just like Jazz.I said mom mom look it looks like Jazz.Then just yesterday the 13th I saw a red Semi truck.I was totaly having a nerdish moment.I get all exited and do a squeal every time I see cars that looks like them.

by **Auto Bot** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 1:28 pm

Just stand back and enjoy, and don't get in front of them trucks on the move.

by **Cycrolus** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 1:57 pm

I constantly view every vehicle and how it could transform. :grin:

by **Darkphoenix69** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 3:55 pm

After my husband and I got out of the theater from seeing the movie we looked at every vehicle as it we were expecting it to transform into a robot and walk away! I swear I'll never look at anything the same way again. LOL :grin:

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 12:11 pm

Some don't transform, but walk away just the same.

Courtesy of car thieves!

I often look at cars and try to imagine a Transformer based on each particular model. Being reminded of the existence of the movie takes the fun out of it a little, though.

by **Tenkyoen [AKA: WheelBar!]** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 2:47 pm

Every. Single. Time. I'll be sitting on the bus and see any semi or Transformers like car and this is always the result:

kid #1: Hey, what are you gawking at?
kid #2: Don't worry kid, nobody understands her.

*sigh* I also flinch every time they have those commercials that will "tranform" your backyard or something using their landscaping product. It's just saddening, really.
