Here's a cool bit of fun for our UK based readers, or anyone who might be in the UK for Auto Assembly 2012, the Olympics, Paralympics or just vacationing here through the month of August. The Optimus Prime Truck as seen in the live action Transformers movies is on tour around the UK throughout the month of August, sponsored by Cartoon Network. Future appearances include:

9-12 August - Bristol Balloon Fiesta
17-19 August - Lollibop in Regent's Park, London
25-26 August - Carfest in Lavistock Park, Hampshire
30 August - 2 September - Bournemouth Air Festival
8-9 September - Carfest at Cholmondeley Castle, Cheshire

There's also an option for our younger readers to get their photos taken with the cast of Transformers Prime! Check out the Cartoon Network website for the promotion for a gallery showcasing what this entails!

We here in the United States get the Seinfeld food truck, and the United Kingdom folks get Movie-verse Optimus Prime. If only they could travel together - now that would be especially awesome...

Yeah, what the hell? How come they never displayed it here in the states?

I mean, Warner Bros. just had the Tumbler Tour, and fan reaction was extremely positive. Why not the Transformers vehicles?

The hell? That isn't Prime. Some cheap knock off.

You didn't give the tour dates in your original post though. But since you did mention it first I'll credit you.

Transformers and balloons and copious amounts of cider, that will be a good weekend here in Bristol!

It's not even the one from the movies. Wrong model, heck the one from the movie was pieces from a few models. Not bummed about this being UK only.

^Yeah, it's a completely different truck. I mean, for all intended purposes it's a "giant-@$$ red and blue semi with flames and the Autobot symbol". I would still love to go see it.
moreprimeland
I posted in the other thread, but I'll go again...

Liked the Autobot insignia with flames!!

Agree, wish they would tour around here.

Like most "UK Events" it'll never wander North of Birmingham. Not so much a tour as a short jaunt out of London

Those of us north of the wall would only nick the wheels anyway, feral beasts that we are!

Could be worse. It could look like the Tesco Transformers truck:

Oh, it's just a copy. Quite rough copy. Even different year of release of Peterbilt 379.
