We received the following press release regarding a "behind the scenes" feature of the Indianapolis Children's Museum.

The Optimus Prime truck from TRANSFORMERS: Age of Extinction is at the museum through April 5, and since visitors can’t go inside the cab, we decided to show it off in this video: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153245274993701&comment_id=10153245332528701

We also have a blog post with some additional interesting facts from Western Star/Daimler: https://www.childrensmuseum.org/blog/inside-optimus-prime-big-rig

In other news, we also recently posted a blog post by our Creative Director, who details the process behind making the TRANSFORMERS exhibit commercial: https://www.childrensmuseum.org/blog/transformers-commercial

We’ll have more blogs rolling out in the coming weeks, potentially from Karl and Pete, and likely from Hasbro designers. So continue to keep an eye on our social channels for new TRANSFORMERS content.

Those were some fun little videos. I hope they attract lots of kids to come have a blast at this exhibit.

This is really cool (I mean where was this when I was a kid?)

I just wish they'd stop using Optimus's crappy Michael Bay colours every time I see a "real life" Optimus.

Still super snazzy paint job. That's cool.

Like it or not, that IS Optimus Prime for this generation. From what I've read around this site, a lot of kids are barely aware that there is a TV show NOW, much less a history of TV shows that Transformers pulls from. The live action films are the definitive Transformers to them.
