Anyone remember Falcatron? The Australian fan decided Ford based Transformer? Well, Ford is at it again with another character created using fan influence. Fans got to vote on whether this character would be Autobot, Decepticon, what kind of alternate mode he would have and more. This time, meet Torque, (not to be confused with our very own 2005 Board member) who has been debuted on Motorauthority.com. The website has the following to say on this new design:
This time the fans chose the Ranger, but in its range-topping Wildtrak trim. This model packs a 3.2-liter five-cylinder turbodiesel that’s rated at 197 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque.
Torque’s bright orange finish is available on the Ranger Wildtrak, though that’s about all he has in common with the actual production model.
Ford has said it plans to use Torque in some promotional materials, just like it is doing with Falcatron. However, don’t hold your breath waiting to see either in Transformers 4–they were created just for Ford’s own promotional use.

I don't like the color lol.
Torque
Yes.
Wonder how much it would cost to make this into a toy… like commisioned…
Nevermore
Bulky, angular robot that transforms into a Volkswagen Beetle?
Torque
I thought it was cool too-cool enough to knock you and I out of my sig lol
Actually, most of my friends first time they met me thought I was high. So I' gonna go with yes.
lol well thanks! Though I dunno if you've ever seen the Behind the Scenes footage of Shia's first day on set for the first movie. The first thing they had him do was run away fro those junkyard dogs. Yeah, I'd have been lunch lol.
That said, if you ever do direct a TF movie, I'm gonna hold you to that lol
Autobus Prime
Looks pretty cool to me.
Autovolt 127
Was Shia Labeoug really able to handle action shots that well?
I'm just saying that if i ever directed the film. You get a role for sure Torque.
TylerMirage
Inconsequential. Can you should phrases repeatedly as if you're high on drugs and hallucinating? That's the real selling point in the audition.
Torque
I am a bit of an actor, though dunno if i could handle the action shots that well =P
Autovolt 127
Hasbro needs to get around to trademarking Autovolt as a real name and not just the Takara counterpart to Crosswise.
AngusDF
Toy. Now.
Kylehudson14
That same way Cars transform into robots
PrimusVsUnicron

TylerMirage
Love the truck mode. That thing looks sweet.
badpony
Wow that looks sweet!! Now make one like my Blk Mustang 5.0 GT
Anyway he looks great and I think he resembles the Action Master Roll Out!
Autovolt 127
Forget Shia Laboeuf you should be the star of the Transformers movies.
Torque
I should! I really should!
Autovolt 127
Torque should be in every continuity from now on and also retconned in previous continuity to exist their.
Torque
I was too lol
Then they got you! Advertising accomplished lol.
Its so trippy, everyone using me name lol. dunno why though
Prime Jetscream
These designs are pretty cool, but cheap. This is just a modified Magnus.
Falcatron has Sideswipe's shoulders (modified, though) and Hound's legs. :/
Deefuzz
Everyone is talking toys.
Heck I wish I could buy a production model truck here that looks exactly like that! And I'm not even a truck guy, but I would totally become one for Torque!
