Default Transformers

I know this is probably the wrong thread for this, but perusing through the transformer site I stumbled across this and found it to be a kick *** pick of the concept so I thought I would share.

Also the link to the rest of the pics.

My only problem with this version of the cars is where the hell is the Calipers and I like how the back discs are larger then the front. You would think that Saleen who built this version of the car would have done something better with it. Oh wells, as long as it rocks in the movie who cares?

Yeah the wheels/brakes on the movie cars are plastic covers over 20" black steel wheels. The cars had to be built very quickly and something had to give.

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie!
It's less than 2 months away!

My only wish for this movie is for the Camaro and Mustang to get into a fight, and for the Camaro to blow up the pony.

*mustang* *Camaro*

^^^ "Evil" is in the eye of the beholder. But I suppose that the Camaro looks more sinister than the Mustang.
