Want A Truck?

Post by Admiral Valdemar »

Want THIS truck?

I could sell this house (which isn't mine) and just live in it. Too bad it can't transform to smite my enemies.

Now to wait for someone to soup up their custom MH-53...

Bleh. I preferred the original cab-over optimus.

Yes, it is odd having Optimus with a "snout", but I learned to love the new American design as well. So until I see an original Prime with decal clad trailer, this is the only Autobot leader on the market.

Be a while before we see a similar thing for Starscream.

We should all sell a kidney and chip in.

We can call it the "SDN Totally Fucking Awesome" Ride, and I can crash it into my office in a whirlwind of ecstacy and joy.

Oh man, I was talking about this the other day. We have a few 378s and 379s in my uncle's fleet and two in ours. I want to get a 379 in blue, and paint the red flames on it. Put my name under the window, Optimus Prime on the hood (small letters forward of the air filters) and take off the Peterbilt badge on the front and stick on an Autobrand. The bumper would need to be shorter for our work, but that's just flash anyhow.

That would be a total chick magnet.

Actually, on closer inspection, the rear fenders would have to be changed as well. I couldn't pull an end-dump tandem or triadem with those on it.

Too bad it runs on diesel instead of Energon, otherwise we'd be all set for the post-oil world. Of course, it would help if we had some Energon...

Find a prototype Ford Nucleon and steal the reactor pile. Not quite Energon, but not diesel either.

The seller needs to change his username to "ladysman217" :P

Purdy, but the colors are a little off and the sleeper is too tall. The latter is just because it's a 379 and not a 378, though.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...
