Everyone is always talking about 'who is your favourite movie 'bot?' - but what about their vehicle modes? Vehicle choice is a huge decision when designing a character, especially in the movie universe where there are so few characters. So of all the Movie characters, who has the best alternate mode? Which one fits the character the most, or what is your personal favourite?

For me, it's a tie between Jazz (love that Solstice, it just screams 'Jazz'!) and Ratchet (ambulances are always fun, and the toy is great to play around with).

Ironhide. Now that is a truck.

BB's 09 Camaro. Im getting one in a few years But the Hartop Solstice looks nice too, But im not much for 2-seaters

Both the 09 AND the 77 Camaros.
I love those cars...

I have to admit Ironhide's truck mode is kick-pipe (yes, I changed a word for cybertronian lingo)! I love the toy too! If I ever get my hands on a real one of those...

On the Autobots' side, I liked the old Camaro. It's a little beat-up, but it's got a lot of character to it, just like Bumblebee himself.

On the Decepticon side, I love the modified police car, especially with all the sneaky tweaks ("To punish and enslave", indeed. :lol:

)

Barricade definately made out well in choosing his alt form.

BB is a close second with the 08 Camaro

Oh my what a question!!!

I don't know. I must say I really like the '09 Camaro....and Barricade.

I'll have to think more on this topic and get back to you. :-?

Then tell me what hauled Bumblebee through the final battle :BLACKEYE:

Not my fault his awesome robot mode didn't make the film!

BB's new Camaro does it for me. Its a pretty nice car and looks like a joy to drive.

and it would suck paying for gas. it only gets 13 miles per gallon!

Well if thats the cost of looking cool....

by **prowl24** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 6:25 pm

Though I like Bumblebee's Camaro concept car, but I prefer the black and white Barricade's Ford Mustang. ;;)

His body color is somewhat cool.

by **Jazzz** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 2:11 am

Man these robots came here to save us but with the vehicle modes they chose...
global warming sucks
Favorite is Primes peterbuilt.
and i don't like trucks like that at all.
but the flames, and the grill, and the colors, and how long the nose is, and the long ass pipes, and the headlights, and the chrome, and all the little red lights on his grill and bumper and the flat top(why I prefer leader class) and...

by **Saberwing** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 11:01 am

Brawl's Abrams variant

by **Sonray** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 1:40 pm

Primes Peterbuilt is the best of course.

by **K-Dude(101)** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 7:55 pm

the best is starscream, he fooled every one just by staying in vehicule mode!

by **Silverado Bot** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 8:00 pm

Bumblebee's '76 Camero, just cause I love old muscle cars, and Ironhide's truck, just cause I own a black truck that kinda looks like it, mines just older, and has a bowtie :grin:

by **ThunderZap** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 8:33 pm

Barricade for me :grin:

by **Condan1993** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:00 pm

My favourite Altmode is that chopper, Blackout. Big, Mean and Ace. Bumblebee 08's is also a very hot car.Frenzy's good too.

by **crashbarbarian** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 5:21 pm

im stunned no one said bonecrusher... id never seen that vehicle before and man is that thing big and tuff as nails with that long claw arm too... i think thats also one of the coolest in robot mode... im pretty bummed that we only got like one minute of him in the film!
