A few years back, Citroen ran a campaign where its C4 transformed into a dancing robot. The commercial is actually pretty dope, but I have to say I like the way Chevy mocks it in the spot below. While it’d be cool to have a car that could turn into a robot, if I was just trying to get home from work, all the break dancing would probably get annoying. via CarScoop

After his son became fascinated with Transformers, Jessie Vigil wanted to paint his car to resemble Barricade, the movie’s Deceptacon police cruiser. But before he did any work, he wisely called the local authorities, who looked over the books and told him—surprise!—there’s actually nothing illegal about painting a car to resemble a cruiser. Of course, there are a few differences between his Pony and an actual police vehicle. The biggest one is that local cops don’t drive Mustang’s, and their rides are emblazoned with "To Serve and Protect," instead of "To Punish and Enslave." They also don’t advise people to "Call 411 for Theater Information," and are equipped with functioning light bars. Funny stuff, I wonder if this paint scheme gets him out of parking tickets?

When Hagerty released their list of the Top Ten Future Collector Cars, Caddy’s souped up XLR made the list, and it’s easy to see why. Even now, they aren’t a terribly common sight, and since it shares a platform with the Corvette, there’s plenty of grunt to complement the chiseled features. As someone who’s always liked the idea of a drop-top, but just hates the most cloth roofs look, the idea of a convertible hardtop sounds cool. I know, I know. They take up too much space. They weight a ton. They’re overly complex. And I’m not arguing that track cars should have them, but on the XLR, it makes sense. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that this one moves like a Transformer. Check it out.

There was some star power on hand when the World of Wheels show rolled into Indianapolis—Bumblebee from Transformers, the General Lee, and ‘Mater from Cars were all there—but even for gearheads who weren’t start-struck, there was plenty to see. This Shelby Coupe made me want to run over to Factory Five, buy a kit, and get started constructing my own classic racer, and with its evil fighter plane paint scheme, this Firebird looked like it was ready to eat small children. Hey, if they touch any cars, I think they’re fair game! Enjoy the photos!

Want to be the coolest kid on your block? Well, it’s not going to come cheap, especially with over three days left on this auction (the price is currently at around $55K). This ’94 Peterbilt Optimus Prime replica comes with an alarm system that speaks in the voice of the Autobots’ leader; and in the sleeper cabin is a memory-foam matress, which is, of course, wrapped in Transformers bedding. Take a look!

Given all the recent coverage of "art" projects which destroy cars, it was awesome to stumble across this sculpture. Because, sorry, while these semis may never run again, this installation looks cool as hell—I just [expletive deleted] love the whole scorpion Transformer theme! And while I’m positive this was created for Burning Man, I hope it finds a good, permanent, home.

I’m not trying to hate or anything, but I think this transforming—and shrinking—truck looks better than some of the effects in the Transformers movie. If this ever becomes a factory option, sign me up. I’ve had enough of trying to wrestle my car into tiny downtown spots.
