I think we've put these in other threads periodically. Maybe it's worth having a dedicated thread.

Saw Animated Soundwave today... but snapped the shot while driving, so it's a bit blurry :(

On my way to the Sydney Transfan meet in April 2007, I came across this on George St.:

A 1980s Nissan Fairlady, à la G1 Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen. The fact that this happened while I was literally walking to attend a TF fan meet is a Kodak moment. :)

For the first time ever, I saw a new Chevy Camaro in Australia. It was dark blue. Are these things finally shipping? And will they shipping under the Chevy moniker here in Australia or was this most likely imported?

Couldn't snap it as it drove past me last night, I saw G1 jazz, even with the stripes and numbers. :) Well sort of, it was a 911 with the same stripes.

In fact, saw two, another followed on a trailer, and quite a few more 911's too on trailers. :)

Now if anyone wants a free datsun vanette (ratchet/ironhide), you'd do me a favor by removing it from its current abandoned place in the valley metro car park. I'll arrange a free let out.

Whilst driving my girlfriend blindfolded to a secret location to propose to her on tuesday night, I spotted a Hyundai Elantra with a license plate that had "bec" in it. On the brake light at the centre there was an autobot insignia.

I realise its not really a transformer, but I was wondering if that car belongs to anyone on this board?

BTW she said yes!

On my way home, after watching ROTF with the Perth group the day it came out, I pulled up beside Sideways at a stoplight. Dam sweet ride that 'Con is, I dont think the Yuppie driving knew what he got himself into though.

First Audi R8 I've seen in person so it was a pleasant coincidence after having just saw the movie (too bad he's only in it for about 15 milli-seconds).

I wish I'd had a camera - a G1 blue Skids Honda City Turbo stopped right in front of me while I was waiting to cross at the traffic lights. From the age of the woman driving it, she'd probably had it since the eighties. I guess the years haven't been good to Charlene.

I once saw a SUV Police vehicle on my way back from Parramatta to the city on Victoria Road. There was a small autobot signal underneath the car logo. I really tried to get a camera pic but couldn't get close enough.

I thought it was a nice sighting, just wonder if there is a police car out there with a "Punish and Enslave" decal :D

About 9 months ago i saw a replica of Barricade (saleen) out the front of my work which had the 'Punish and Enslave" on it, and full movie decals. funnily enough it was pulled over by a police car!
The car had police lights on the top, which i think is illegal to have as he can be fined for impersonation. But im not 100% sure because it was still registered.
The good thing was that it was right in front of my shop so i could have a nice good look at it!

Sadly i never took a photo as i was making a pizza (i work in a pizza shop lol)and i had not yet joined the forum:(

Some alternate versions of Ultra Magnus and Scavenger showed up in my street today. Ultra Magnus failed to make a simple U-turn and got bogged. All efforts to get free from the mud were useless. Scavenger must have been feeling some Christmas spirit, as I was up on the roof putting up my Christmas lights, and pulled/pushed Ultra Magnus out of the mud. How charitable. (Lots of pics, sorry, I went a bit overboard)

Yesterday morning I saw a modern Freightliner that looked similar to this model (http://www.advancedbars.com.au/freight_files/fre_cl112_09%2Bfupd_bump.jpg), and immediately I thought of Reveal The Shield Optimus Prime! I don't know if RtS OP is meant to be based on a Freightliner, or maybe is a Not-Freightliner (much like how say Universe/Henkei Sideswipe/Sunstreaker/Red Alert are Not-Lamborghinis) - but it's suddenly made RtS Optimus Prime a little bit cooler to me, considering that the original G1 Optimus Prime was a Freightliner FL86 (http://www.roadtrains.com.au/siteimages/FL021.jpg)(<--left)!
However the truck was white, not red... so at best it'd be a real life "Reveal the Shield" Ultra Magnus... (theoretically) :p

Then this morning a white Western Star (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/4350100289_4123c20b9a.jpg) passed me by, and of course, the original G2 Laser Optimus Prime (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/e/e7/G2toy_laser_optimus_prime.jpg) is a Western Star! But again, it was white... could have been Ultra Magnus (as G2 Laser Ultra Magnus (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/1/17/G2toy-LaserUltraMagnus.jpg) is a Western Star) - but it was towing a dumpster trailer (similar to the one that the white Kenworth is towing in jena's post above), and not an oil tanker. Ah well. :p Still got me excited but.

There's another one!" It was on the other side of the road in blue and white - Overkill.

I have seen him several times on the same drive way in the last six months or so, so I'm pretty confident the owner is based here in Brisbane. Last weekend was the first time I had the opportunity to take a snap. I wouldnt be surprised if he transports stuff down your way though (stay over night or whatever). Either way very cool :):cool:

The back of the jacket had embroidered wings, a laurel with an energon cube at the apex and a big Decepticon insignia in the middle. Across the top was 'SEEKERS' motorcycle club. On the front of the jacket he had an embroidered tag 'Dirge'.

If this is somebody on this board, I really want to know if A) your bike is blue B) whether there are other 'SEEKERS' in your club and C) if you can post photos of all your jackets. :D

ROTF Breakaway/Thrust/DOTM Air Raid are pretty good, aren't they?

the whole back end is wrong, it's much more like a more conventional 4th generation fighter in the rear. actually from not far behind the cockpit...

http://images.toywizard.net/0001/takaratomy-ra-05-autobot-breakaway-2.jpg

the intakes are swept forward, the wings are trapezoidal, as are the horizontal stabilisers. the entire surface of the JSF has less detail due to stealth tech.
They are the main differences.

I'm after an F-35 that's as accurately represented as the later movie starscream voyager mold or the Leader "movie Masterpiece" mold.

I've always maintained that the coneheads would be excellent as F-35's, it would have made a good pairing with Starscreams F-22 Model. but that's not going to happen after DOTM.... Stupid sam Wilkikity

I didn't know that those fire-trucks were in Australia... let alone the airforce... as they used to use green "armoured looking" firetrucks (a long time ago, so plenty of time to change I guess).

Such a fitting time to have it on display... if the air show knew that it was in a Transformers movie and voiced by Leonard Nimoy.

Did they have any signage saying that it was also featured in a Transformers movie?
I'd have loved to have taken photos of it, and a photo with a Sentinel toy.

At a closer look this one is slightly different from Sentinel Prime's fire engine mode. But at the air show they did have 3 trucks of the same model as Sentinel, if I remember correctly, but in green. Think they are there for the general fire safety of the Avalon airport.

Man this Daniel guy must have some bank account to own a Veyron and to have it custom like that with his name on the seat. One thing for sure is that he doesn't collect transformer figures.

Who needs to collect the figures when you can all but have the real thing? ;)
Although personally Drift wouldn't be the vehicle I would want.
Still, a VERY nice ride.

I finally finished the Indy 500 raceway page of my BotCon trip (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/bc15inr.html), and now it is time to share some real sightings.

Gen1 Sideswipe...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na18.jpg

DOTM Soundave...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na23.jpg

Gen1 Wildrider (in red)...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na32.jpg

Throttlebot Chase and the Actionmaster vehicle for Wheeljack...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na20.jpg


And some "nearly" Transformers...

Gen1 Jazz (in black) almost (its a 930, while Jazz was a 935)....
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na15.jpg

Gen1/Robotmasters Mirage (almost - wrong model, but the perfect colours)...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na22.jpg

This one looks a bit like Overdrive to me, but is a slightly different type of Ferrari...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na33.jpg

For some reason, everytime I look at this car I keep thinking Gen1 Tracks...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/na04.jpg

And can someone please tell me who this is, if it is a Transformers toy. It just looks so darn familiar, but I might just be thinking of the Windcharger/Tailgate toy.

I finished the Harley Davidson page of my adventure (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/bc15mhd3.html), and here are some more real sightings from my photos... or "near" sightings as I'm not sure about exact models for these two toys.

Of all the motorbike Transformers apparently there are only two that are based on Harley Davidson bikes (according to TFwiki) - Gen2 Roadpig and Cybertron Lugnutz.

The orange one here is one that I thought looked like Lugnutz (and in similar colours)...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/wa46.jpg

And the black one here looks like Roadpig to me...

The white car is a Pontiac Firebird (Windcharger is the closest match).
The dark car is a Chevy Corvette (Tracks is a newer model).

If Windcharger and Tailgate didn't look so stunted, it might look more like that white car in my photo... but looking at my toys (both Gen1 and GEN) and that photo, I just don't see it.

The wheels just stick out so much... which is what made me think of them with that grey car that I posted last in that posting.

I know the colours are wrong but look who my son found in one of the car parks here in Hong Kong on the weekend...

Incidentally the same guy also owned this one:

As well as these two who whilst not the same models certainly reminded us of a set of twins...

I don't think these ones are used as Transformers but he had a few of them:

A commercial on TV for the show Mega Truckers on channel 73 had a flash of the Movie Optimus on it, which I think is an Australian show, but I wouldn't know which episode it would show up on though. I think it would be interesting if they featured one of those custom "Optimus" trucks that we know exist in Australia, and why the owner customised their truck to look like Movie Optimus (if they are a fan, or just for recognition to get extra business).

Saw one of the replica Optimus trucks driving around Rocklea today, carting one of those giant gas/fuel canister trailers.

Not sure if it is the same one appearing at various conventions recently, but it was a surprise to see it appearing around a corner while I was driving.

Looking for pics of the Bumblebee stretch limo I found another Bumblebee hire car, of the normal sedan variety... the website says it is in Sydney (http://www.bumblebee4hire.com.au/welcome-to-bumblebee-4-hire.html), but I think it might be the same one that showed up in a google image search being used at a high school formal last year on the Gold Coast (https://www.facebook.com/PacificPinesStateHighSchool/photos/a.833019640134127.1073741891.192790597490371/833021956800562/?type=3&theater).

Ahh, the Bumblebee limo. If it's the one I think you're talking about, it's the one that appeared at Supanova Melbourne 2015. It has gullwing doors at the back and fold up doors at the front.:D

Those links are just for a sedan done up as Bumblebee, but we saw a stretch limo outside the Melbourne Toyfair a couple weeks ago in Bumblebee colours - it didn't have any significant Autobot logos on it (only a couple of tiny ones and some Cybertronian writing).
