You want to ride with Transformers Movie Ironhide? Well, you may not be able to ride with Ironhide but thanks to GM you will be able to ride in a car designed to look just like him. Edmunds.com
has reported Monroe Truck Equipment, in association with toymaker Hasbro, has rolled out a production version of the GMC TopKick 6500 designed to look like the one in the movie. Get more information by reading the article by clicking here. Don't forget, you can get all the latest Transformers Movie news in the Seibertron.com Transformers Movie Section.

Even with the Autobot symbol on the back??? Cause that'd be sweet.

Looks for the price tag...

*EDIT*

Of the model GMC Topkick 6500 MSRP: $43840-$57940.. That is regular models, not this new one that resembles Ironhide.

I just saw a red one yesterday on the way to work. It was probably a custom, though. Damn shame I didn't have my camera.

Too expensive, considering I already own Ironhide for $20.00

It's a nice vehicle, don't get me wrong, but when it costs more than some houses, it's purely for status.

I saw the paper work in one of my dealers offices for this, he told me it didn't make sense to sell this type of truck in our area, then I walked him through the movie and he understood!

(for those who don't know I work in auto advertising)

More than a house? WHere do you live?

Posted: **Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:49 pm**

**** that thing is like a tank! If it has the Autobot emblem, i might start saving! Unless GM rolls out with the Bumblebee Camaro

Seconded, I want a house for that cheap.

I would love to own that "tank", I mean truck. I saw a pic of a Topkick next to a Hummer and it dwarfed it! The only problem would be the price tag. I checked truck selling websites and the price for a Topkick like Ironhide costs anywhere between $45k and $85k. If I had one I would have to sell my cars, move out of my house and have my family and I live in it. I can still dream though.

That is awesome! I would love to own one of those, but it has to have the Autobot symbol. At the very least I think the car companies should make special Transformers vehicles available. You know with Autobot/Con symbols and what not.

for the price of one of those it better transform into a robot

Posted: **Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:49 pm**

Hmm....I smell my next investment. Oh yes indeed.

I think Ryan may have just found the official Seibertron.com vehicle!

Greenville Pennsylvania.

And the GMC Topkick in the movie was once estimated at $90,000.00

The unmodified, general release is around $50-60,000.00

That's why I said the house is cheaper than the truck. House values around here are pathetic.

Technically, Ford didn't make Barricade.

Saleen did. Barricade's body styling and changes are just enough to actually consider him a non Ford product.

I'm not sure they were able to secure a license from Ford anyway. Saleen has the rights to that body style and make that they used for Barricade.

Saleen also created Bumblebee apparently. (I read it somewhere, they had pictures of him and Barricade together and both had the Saleen plate on the back.)

So? I have somewhere around 600 TF toys....some people have a lot more. So you could say that anybody that is into TF toy collecting is doing it for nothing more than Penis Extension.

......Kinda makes you wonder about Getter Dragun, though..... :-?
