It's been sorta creepy and fun walking by prowl everyday when I get home from work. What other real life G1 transformers do you guys see from time to time?

by **Kanyon** » Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:31 pm

I've seen G1 Bumblebee in the parking lot at the Target I shop at times. First saw it on my birthday and I kinda geeked out. Sadly I have no pics.

I'll bet that guy/gal is proud of it too...since the movie that is.

What else is creepy about prowl it that is has been abandoned there for years. Talk about the movie coming to life....

Wouldn't be be crazy if I came home one day to all the windows blown out of all the other cars in the parking lot?

I drove Goldbug for most of last year!

Goldbug was based off the '74 Volkswagen Sun Bug, I think. That's the only year they made a line of golden Beetles. Alas, I had to give up my car when I moved--the Chicago climate would've rusted her.

Wow! Nice Idea!

I think this will be a good thread specialy with pictures.

Can anyone post more pictures of real life cars/trucks/plane based on cartoon or movie Transformers.

I see yellow Jeeps all the time. And every time I say/think: "hm, there goes another Swindle". For some reason, people in Kansas like yellow jeeps.

Then ask around, and if no one calls it, take it, and turn it into prowl. That is a rare car.

Anyhow, I saw alt Sunstreaker on the highway yesterday.
And my Mom's friend had a Camaro like Bumblebee (the '74/'78)
But that was in the 70's/80's.

Wow I guess you guys have never seen the real cars in person until now

The only cars I ever got excited about seeing was

a Delorean

a custom VW beetle made to look exactly like Herbie the love bug

a Subaru painted exactly like the Smokescreen Alternator and

a Mustang painted the same as the Wheeljack alternator

I seen a picture once I think it was Wizard where a guy took his Nissan and repainted it as G1 Prowl and had an autobot logo and police lights

I think the smokescreen alternator colours was based on that subaru you're talking about. Its a rally car if I'mnot mistaken

There's a large black pick up with a white autobot logo on the back of it that is always parked by my place on my way home from work, and to many to count vehicles i've seen wtih autobot paint jobs, or decals all over. haha

by **Ramrider** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 9:43 am

There's a white car round the corner from me with a big Autobot logo on the bonnet, but I'm not sure what model it is; it certainly doesn't look like an existing TF.

I've sat in Prowl; back at Transforce 2004 there was a car outside the venue done up as the lad, which was cool.

As for this abandoned car, Skyblast, if you do take up Sherade's suggestion of redoing it, you could always avoid replicating a police car (I'm not sure how many issues that might involve) and repaint it into one version of Bluestreak or another...

There's a G1 Bumblebee in my town that my daughter and I see parked all the time. Of course we have to go over and say 'Hi'! :grin:

There is also a G1 Cliffjumper that we say 'Hi' to as well!

by **Raven Guard** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 10:06 am

I see G1 seekers every day!

I saw G1 Prime in the nearby Meijer parking lot not long ago

Flat nosed red cab over truck just sitting at one end of the parking lot when I arrived. When I left, it was at the opposite end O_o It was wierd but awesome!

At various car shows I've also seen the twins (not at the same time though, sadly), and this car that I like to think of as Hot Rod even though its not :b Close enough for me!

And then there was his Alternators form (sadly, without the hood design):

And a possible Sunstreaker? I can't find my pic of Sideswipe...

Saw movie Ironhide the other day when I was talking to my friend, and I saw G1 Bumblebee the other day.

Guy around the corner from my place has an old mid 1970's Green Jeep with a 5 inch Autobot Sticker on the bonnet. It's a Hard Cover Jeep, so It's not quite Hound, but near enough.

Ive seen a G1 Ironhide, G1 BB around town and other G1 vehicles too. My sister works at one of the Safeway Petrol joints in town so she gets to see alot more cool cars than I do.

I see seekers sometimes, as well as Blackouts (live near an army airfield). There is also a car that resembles what Barricade's and BB's love child might look like, a yellow saleen with BB's paint job that drives around quite a bit here on post. I do see tanks and other military vehicles, and of course I imagine them as TFs.
