Transformers mustang

I cant believe I have gotten in so many arguements with people about this. In the movie the cop car is a saleen mustang not a charger. Got into an arguement with a GIRL that just wouldnt believe me. I even have the toy and its a mustang. Bought it because its a Ford!! I think I have a problem!!

Arguing with idiots is an excercise in futility.

Just love fords. But when people argue when you are 100% right sucks. The camaro(bumblebee) beats up the mustang. Chevy verse ford. New camaro vs Mustang. The rivalry begins again!!!

See, stupid people are only annoying individually. As a group, they can be dangerous.

Kinda like jumping a fence and seeing an angry chihuahua, which you ignore. And then seeing 99 more angry chihuahuas come around the corner. In both situations, you should extract yourself immediately.

Ironically, Bumblebee was actually originally a VW Beetle, Ratchet (the Hummer) was an ambulance, Optimus prime was actually a cab-over, and Jazz (Solstice) was a Porche.

Guess they decided literary accuracy was irrelevent.

Actually, I think they liked the money that GM paid them to use the Camaro, Hummer, and Solstice.

I loved the movie but the chevy thing was a bit much. I like chevies but jesus every car in the movie was one. If you look you will notice. Just went over board. I know it was a money thing. But the original transformers were random vehicles. Porsch, lamborghini, jeep. Kinda bgs me a bit when watching. But its still an amazing movie!

I wonder which other characters will be in the second one, if they make a sequal. Theirs RC, Wreckgar, Blurr, Kup, Ultra Magnius.

It's like what Chevy vehicle could be "Hot Rod"?

I hope in the next movie they are more random with their car selection. Like I think they will have cars like mirage- indy car. That isnt based on everyday vehicles. Hot rod would probably be a older firehawk or something. Hope they dont ruin it. I loved those cartoons when I was younger.

Ya Hot Rod will something from GM more than likely. It would be cool if its a Trans Am or maybe even a GT. The Producers should of mixed up the cars. I didnt like the fact they were all GM cars
