THE humble Ford Falcon is about to undergo a massive transformation to star in an upcoming video game.
But it's not the transformation Ford wants, which would take the car from a fading showroom flop into a born-again success with buyers.
Instead, the Falcon will be morphed into a Transformer for a war between Autobots and Decepticons.
Gamers are being asked to put their twist on the Falcon by choosing from a range of characteristics for the Australian version of a Transformers car.
They will help decide which model, what colour, whether it will be an Autobot or a Decepticon. They will even decide its name.
The results will be passed to High Moon Studios for inclusion in the company's 'Transformers: Fall of Cyberton' game, which is being unveiled on August 22.
At least there is a guaranteed outcome, as the most-recent entertainment twist on the Falcon saw it transformed into a 21st century Interceptor for a potential Mad Max revival.
The movie is going ahead but, despite a successful display at the Melbourne Motor Show and internet interest from around the world, Ford Australia could not raise enough money to take the Mad Max idea beyond a scale model.
Gamers who want to follow the Falcon should head to the car and company's Facebook sites.
