Transformer - GMC TopKick 4500

Even without the big Road Armor front bumper, big tires and tall exhaust stack, the GMC TopKick 4500 is a beast of a rig. It would be intimidating painted lavender.



Ironhide is powered by a stock 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 as found in GM's heavy-duty pickups. But the HD pickups don't get the cool tilt front end.



The standard TopKick has massive side mirrors in order to see around utility beds and trailers. Those were swapped out for side mirrors from a Yukon for a cleaner look on Ironhide.



Since Ironhide's interior isn't seen on camera, it was left stock. For stunt drivers working during the summer of 2006 in the New Mexico desert, the best thing about Ironhide was that the A/C worked.



It's a face for Hasbro to love. Millions of kids will soon be playing with toys that look like this.



Here's GM's favorite view of Ironhide.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen opens

Yesterday I got invited by LG to a special premiere for bloggers of the new Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen movie. Though I wasn’t expecting it, the first movie was surprisingly entertaining so I had quite high expectations from this one too. And though the overall impression was that the movie could’ve been better (maybe because of the problems they faced), I really liked it. I mean we have cool cars (my heart started beating faster every time I saw the Camaro, it’s just an amazing car), we have Megan Fox, we have robots beating the shit out of each other and we have some great special effects. What more can you ask from a movie. It’s not Oscar material, but it’s really, really entertaining.

Comparing it to the first one, the movie’s producers brought in several new funny robots, like the AutoboTwins Skids (Chevrolet Beat) and Mudflap (Chevrolet Trax) or Wheelie (a really funny toy car). Also, at the beginning of the movie there’s a Decepticon (for those of you who don’t know, these are the bad guys) which is an Audi R8 which is being cut in half by one of the Autobots. Like someone in the theatre said, it’s pretty ironic that the GMs always wins, but the company’s bankrupt.

Anyway, the conclusion is that if you feel like going to a movie that has some cool cars, great special effects and the smokin’ hot Megan Fox, you might really enjoy Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. If you haven’t seen it, you have the trailer after the jump.
