You can now find Transformers themed Go Karts at your local Walmart. These are for children of course (sorry) and the art is refreshingly very G1 based rather than in line with any current live action or tv show style. There is both an Optimus Prime and a Bumblebee themed Go Kart. These were found in Kingstowne, Virginia by TFW member JdotMtron.

I agree with you. If I had a kid though wouldn't mind getting one for them...though the Turtle Van or a Mario Go-Kart might be better.

I still want to see an adult get stuck in one of them.

That might actually happen at Wal-Mart. I work there and I have seen a lot of weird stuff, including weird stuff involving shopping carts, such as adults climbing in and being pushed by other adults and adults getting on the two seat kid carts and kids riding under the cart, also adults hanging onto the front of the cart while standing on the ledge of the under carriage...*facepalms* you want to see all that and more? Come to Wally World.
