Transformers (2007)
From Wikislippy
Transformers is a 2007 commercial for General Motors. The commercial was directed by Michael Bay and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and stars Shy LaBuff. It was the most expensive and longest commercial ever made. It was so popular that it was made into a feature length movie.
Cars in the movie that are not by GM
- Optimus Prime - Optimus Prime (the leader of the Autobots) has always been a Semi and GM did not have a truck to fit the role.
- Barricade - The Saleen cop car.
- The Taxis - Most taxis in big cities are Crown Victorias
Coincidence?
At the begining of the commercial, the hero's car (Bumblebee) is a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. However, part way through the movie, Bumblebee transforms into the 2009 Camaro Concept version. this was achieved by Bumblebee driving by and scanning the 2009 and transforming into it. Strange that at that particular time, a 2009 Chevrolet Camaro was being driven by... a car that can not even be obtained by the general public legally even in 2008. Now either it takes place in 2010, or some GM staff member was taking the concept for a drive. Oh wait... it was a commercial and those never make sense.
