Transformers Ironhide spotted?

Autobot_Tease.jpgSomeone caught a picture of a modified truck embossed with an Autobot insignia on the rear and they are pretty sure it's Ironhide from the Transformers movie, good guess I'd say.

There's nothing much to see, but the person who took the pictures managed to tell them a little bit about it...

It appeared to be a heavily modified Sierra 3500 GMC. The front was more altered than the back. Vents on each side of a very angular hood and large, square headlamps made up the front of the vehicle. The rear has large fender and smoke stacks. After researching the transformers movie site, this could be ironhide. He use to be a red, nissan van back in the day. Still pretty cool. The autobot logo only appeared on the tailgate and was embossed into the metal.

It's funny, but I think letting the public have sneak peaks at vehicles dolled up as the Transformers is actually getting the film way more publicity than the marketing people could have ever hoped for.

You can see pictures of it over at Jalopnik along with Jalopnikanother story that might have some shots of either a crane doing work, or perhaps Devastator...Now there's wishful thinking. It would be very funny if it turned out to merely be a crane on set!

Man, Oh Man.

This is not good. So far every piece of news except for Peter Cullen points to crappy Generation2 TF. Including this terrible departure from Ironhide's Red Nissan Van.

Slick? Yes.

Ironhide? No.

this looks promising, Richard... If I saw a truck like that I'd respect it, even if it DIDNT' turn into a 30 foot robot.

here's hoping this is real and not just a couple photoshopped images of a truck.

it would be really easy to photoshop the logo onto the back of a truck like that.

I will note that I've checked it out and it doens't look shopped.

What is it with them screwing with all the original colours of the Transformers?!

You think Ironhide had a raw deal?

Czech out what I was just enlightened on... bear with me...

Remember the supposed Prime design with the flames?:

Well look at this design which was released a while back as a Generation 2 "Laser Optimus". It was exclusively a toy and never used in any TF series/production or comic. Until now.....:

Looks to me like Hasbro are all over this thing.

And I promise you I'll never desert you again because after 'Salome' we'll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!... All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
