Robots in Disguise indeed. Saw this on the way to uni this morning.

What do you think? Resemblance?

Nice find. I've regularly disappointed myself by not having my camera on me and seeing Ironhide IRL or some other character. I think this is a great thread idea and would love to see what we can collectively put together.

sorry, huffer isn't a Hino. He is in fact a Volvo FH12

Oh man Jay, I think that's a good idea.

I'm just lucky to have a good camera on my phone.

We don't always have to be a stickler to the rules, Do we? :p

That Huffer is beautiful. I'm going to embed it for all to see if no one minds:

Sure is. So credit to Mr. Dirge on that one.

Also, I re-uploaded the image so as to not steal your bandwidth.

Nice pic Turtle Boy. With the wind-thingy, it's like the Classics version.

My suggestion was more along the lines of pics we captured, but if we're just grabbing willy nilly, this is one of my favorites. I had no respect for this toy's alt mode until I saw this:

I was in the same boat.

But what I really want to know is how long it takes them to build the dirt highway across the roads, and then dismantle them again?

I still don't even know what it is or what it does?

This is a cool idea for a thread. I spend plenty of time driving and I see heaps of robots in disguise.

Here's one I got a shot of with my phone as I was driving onto the harbour bridge.

What type of car is Jolt? Is it an expensive make? And how fuel efficient is it? I love the toy and love the look.

Jolt is a Bugatti Veyron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_veyron). I believe it is the first street legal car to have 1,000 brake horsepower. It sells for millions and is sold at a loss. Bugatti is owned by Volkswagon.

Any of these Top Gear snippets featuring it are very enjoyable:

What's it called? What's it do? And most importantly... why was it not in the 2007 Movie? :confused:

Just watched the vids. Some awesome stuff. I say that as a person who absolutely has no interest in cars in general. I just love the visual appearance of this baby.

I'm in love with the Jolt/Crosswise/Autovolt/Smokescreen mold so much now. I need to scab a few on sale this week for custom purposes!

I would always believe G1 Prime is a flatfront Peterbilt. A Bloody big truck built for hard work.
