Welcome fellow Seibertronians to the newly relaunched PhotoContest!

This month's theme:


Transformers Traffic School


We cannot expect a being of mechanical alien origin to understand our ways...or our laws for that matter. Which leads us to wonder...if all the Autobots and Decepticons disguised themselves as Earth based vehicles...what pademonium resulted when they broke the laws that apply to said vehicles? That's where you come in!

This month's challenge is to depict our favorite Bots and Cons getting into trouble with the law! Parking tickets, running red lights, impounding, and the like!

Show us what we didn't see in the shows or comics! What happens when a master of disguise doesn't do their research?


There will be 10 place holders with the first three recieving a custom made sig by our own Sunstar with their winning entry!


Also there will be an honorable mention.

Im brand new here, just got back into Transformers because of the movie. I have a backround in model making. Here is a photo of my battle damage BumbleBee. People that loved the movie and not really into toys got a kick out of this so I thought I would share. This is my entry, Im sorry if this is the wrong place.Thanks.

[Omega-1]

I guess I can be the first.

[Dead Metal]

Ok here's mine.


The kid(played by the talented chromium Sparckplug) crossed the street via the zebra crossing, Prime did not know that he should stop, so...

Well I did want to make a little human to let him get runnover, but was to lazy to make one.

[Starscream's Girl]

My entry:

[Duke of Luns]

Click-it or ticket



Streetwise: HOUND! WHY WASN'T HIGHWIRE WEARING A SEATBELT! AND WHY DIDN'T YOUR AIRBAG DEPLOY!!!!

Hound: Because I don't have a seatbelt, or an airbag.....

[Pierrimus]

I know it's not what you were after, but this was inspired by the title. If you could just read all of what I put into the notepads. Maybe later I'll post it with little thought balloons instead.

[UFO]

Bumblebee had an idea.

Step 1: Get smashed.
Step 2: Get smashed.

[Sky Shark]

Here's my entry.

The news paper is supposed to be concrete dividers, yay for Improv!

Apparently Optimus Prime never learned that it is never legal to go down the highway on the wrong side of the road while your teammate rides piggy back shooting at the chasing Dragon bot and tank.

[Condan1993]

Heres mine:

[Xeltecon]

BB: hey mirage don't you think you should hide that head of yours better? I think theres a cop behind us!

[Klusterprime]

The Merge

[Fananga]

Starscream - Leader of the Autobots huh, yeah thats what the guy behind you said but you still have to blow into the bag!

[Blitz Magnus]

Collision Course

Hot Shot and Bumblebee learn to never race on lanes undergoing construction, especially when the police are present.

[Justicity]

Driving while tired greatly increases your accident risk.

Bumblebee spoils Grindor's day when he knocks him of his bike.

[1337W422102]

All of this movie-related fame has gotten to Bumblebee...

EDIT: Removed sig; sorry, I always forget that...
