Optimus and Bumblebee at NSW TRU.

I'm guessing it's just some people dressed up, but I wonder how well the costumes would be to claim, meet 'the real' TFs characters.

Haha, I'll still be at the Penrith one on saturday.
I'll get photos and we'll see how well they look haha.

I wonder if they'll have a suit like that Bumblebee at BotCon... that was a pretty impressive costume.

Knowing TRU, it's probably just people wearing the Roleplay helmets and weapons...

In addition to the mascots, at the Penrith and Campbelltown stores there will be a real life Optimus Prime truck present at the times indicated by the TRU site ^_^

maaan Im day off that day but from night shift, sigh. Hmm wouldnt hurt to take a peek prolly.

Oh and welcome back Rokdog, been aaaaageeeees!!

THat would have cost a lot to have done. I wonder if it is someone's actual truck they own, or if it is just a temporary thing by Paramount (or some other interested party).

Apparently the costumes are from Hasbro.. The Kenworth truck painted up as Optimus Prime (or similar) will be at Penrith and Campbelltown... I'll be down at Penrith to have a look. Long drive but should be fun!

I'm confused, will it be Penrith or Parra?
Im bloody workin on sunday so can't make it to Parra if it's there (but where could they put it if it was there?)
At least Penrith has a big enough carpark for it.

So which is it, can anyone confirm which it will be?

Im not sure, but I do remember seeing it at the last Sydney car show, it wasn't with other special privately owned cars, but if Hasbro or Paramount owned it surely they would have used it in more promotional activities by now.

1AZRAEL1, I'm sure it would be Penrith, as they have their own private car-park, as opposed to Parra where they would have to try and squeeze it into a Westfields car park (that would be funny to watch )
