Remember when we first heard the news that Megan Fox wouldn’t appear in “Transformers 3”? There was mass devastation across the robot-controlled world. I, on the other hand, saw opportunity and looked forward to a new star gracing the big screen.
At the time, rumors were floating that the new star might be a hot little Italian number: the Ferrari 458 Italia.
There was much rejoicing.
But did the rumor hold? Will the 458 grace the screen? If so, is it Autobot or Decepticon?
Keep reading for a look at the cars of “Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon.”
Autobots
Optimus Prime: Still a blue Peterbilt, and still as awesome as ever.
Bumblebee: Now a 5th-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Sam’s guardian and protector can be nothing else!
Ironhide: GMC Topkick. GM doesn’t make ’em anymore, but no one was brave enough to tell Ironhide.
Ratchet: Hummer H2, all dressed up in green-and-white search-and-rescue form.
Sideswipe: Chevrolet Corvette Stingray concept. Now in convertible form! Whoa, baby…
Mirage: Ferrari 458 Italia. Yes! Want to bet they meet him (or her!?) in Italy?
Leadfoot, Topspin and Roadbuster: A series of NASCAR-inspired armored attack cars. Yeah, it reeks of blatant product placement, but at this point, who really cares?
Decepticons
Megatron: The leader of the Decepticons comes back as an armored and rusted fuel truck.
Soundwave: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. I hope the Ferrari kicks his butt!
Carter, Crowbar and Hatchette: A trio of blacked-out Chevrolet Suburbans sure to fall prey to a vengeful Optimus Prime.

Gosh, how do you keep all those names apart? I’m so old and rickety that Transformers are past my time, but the movies have been great fun (although a bit loud) and the director’s female star abdomen fetish is always interesting to watch.
Mr. Panayoti… I have always had a soft spot for Transformers. Me an Optimus Prime go way back!
Kick ass! The movie will probably suck but it sure is cool to see these cars turn into robots. Convertible Stingray? Sweet!
TG, what the hell are you thinking and where are we going on this blog?? The new marijuana law is only in the proposal stage and not yet law.
