Afternoon from Olympic central

A full size replica of the movie Optimus Prime truck is on tour around the UK sponsored by Cartoon Network

You can go along, have your picture taken with the truck; also Cartoon Network are doing photographs of you with the Transformers Prime characters

All the details here with some pictures

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.

 

This isnt fair... I posted this last saturday! including my pictures!

Wonder if this will come to Ireland after the uk.

 

Im so gonna go and take some photos with Optimus...cannot wait~ It's so cool that is coming to my city as well, brilliant! Can't miss it for sure now~

 

oh cool it stops by my town... shame its got all that crap stuck on it like the oversized bot logo.

 

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

 

Did no-one care when I posted about the motorexpo in London?

 

call that a tour? it misses most of the UK. thats a passing visit, not a tour!!!

 

Damn that would be sweet to see it in person.I wish univeral studios would have him there for display one day.

 

Cool.

 

what is this advertising? considering transformers is on the hub, why is cartoon network sponsoring this?

 

It's on Cartoon Network here in the UK.

We don't have the hub here

 

ah, that makes sense then

 

He must be lighting the Olympic torch!

 

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.
