The Energon Pub

Well I've been into Transformers for a while now (Gen 1)and my son is getting into them too. This is why I decided to turn my car into a Decepticon project car. I've only worked on it for a year and so far it looks OK and its a head turner every where I go. So share pics of your ride and lets see what you got...

wicked!

OMG! Are those the 3D-ish metallic decals I've been seeing on ebay?

LOL Yes they are, and they look nicer in person ... I'm going to take a better picture today and post it after I wash and wax the car .

I would if I had a car worth doing it to. I had an '82 Camaro I was gonna turn into Hot Rod, but it blew up.

I don't personally own any Transformers cars but I have seen a couple around town unfortunatly I'm not the type of person who constantly has a camera on hand to get pictures of these types of things. I've allso seen Herbie the love bug like 3-5 years before fully loaded came out. Not the actual car I don't think just a bug painted to look like it.

BTW When you mentioned Camero I thought for sure you were going to say Bumblebee, I was not exspecting Hot Rod. I don't think Hot Rod should ever be anything other than a futuristic Cybertronian hot rod, Rodimus Prime however can be whatever the hell he wants sence there's allready been 3 versions of him all with different alt modes.

Even in that picture they don't look bad. I am contemplating that for my own vehicle. Those or movie styled decals. Haven't completely made up my mind. I already have the standard red ones which I may do to save money (no job).

I live in Cincinnati and I've seen several TF cars (my Neon among them) plus once saw the Mystery Machine from Scoobie Doo. Talking about dead on.

WTF!? how did it blow up?!

I like the idea of doing a TF car. I have seen some pretty cool ones out there (yours it right up there by the way). There was a OP flat nosed semi on here before that looked like it had a lot of potential.

However, I am the kind of person that likes to "fly under the radar". I drive a 2000 Trans Am. I added some "go faster" stuff to it, but I don't advertize it by adding funky paint or a bigger spoiler. I even shaved the badges off of it and opted for the non ram-air hood. Low key = less tickets.

Don't really have any pics. of my own vehicle but I do have a pic. of Air Commander Starscreams black Jeep Cherokee with the Decepticon logo on both side rear windows.(BIG logos, not store bought stickers) I'd have to ask him first before putting the pic up.
All I have for mine is the option of using either the Autobot or Decepticon steering wheel covers, I have a decepticon Air freshener which I have had several comments on and one attempted theft of by a mechanic/lube tech, and my custom made Optimus Prime antennae topper. I also have the means to do a G1 Megatron antennae topper. I have a full size assortment of Autobot and Decepticon sticker (both grey and purple for the 'Cons) but have to have some body work and windows replaced before I can apply any. Kind of bounced the car off a concrete wall during a massive rainstorm.
I've attempted to chase down several vehicles in my area sporting Transformer
markings but none of them seem to want to take the same exits or turn-offs as I do and it's usually when I'm in a hurry to be someplace else. Good luck is not one of my strong suits.

Wasn't that the Optimus Prime that appeared at BotCon when the 2007 TF movie was first announced (at the time I think the movie was announced to be out in '05 or '06 but it got delayed a bunch of times.) before we saw any of the flameing long nose version we have now? I thought that was originally ment to be Optimus Prime for the movie but they ended up changeing all the designs after they got Micheal Bay as the director.
