[wwebtime]

Damn son! Your shakin' like a dog shitt'in a hambone!

[Farrellbrothers1]

Be glad he didn't transform. If he did, it would only be feet anyway.

[starscream66666]

[ChristieCha0s]

I was waiting, and waiting for it to transform. I have disappoint. T_T

[d07310]

[coonk906]

He actually sounds liek he is growling at me! This is so cool!

[coonk906]

The DOTM movie was freakin awesome but as Rainbow Dash would say "It would have been 20% cooler if this bad boy showed up"

Oh an I'm not sure that pen is going to hold him.

[MrDeacco]

That...is....SWEET!!!!

[kevinnulph]

[paddywagons104]

@f350powerstroke yeah i think so ...

[MikeMateescu]

I sure preciate the upload, but next time PLEASE activate the stabilizer-function of your camera.

[whiteandgold26]

I can watch and hear this sucker all day long LOL!

[sonicthehedgehog1985]

that would be an awesome scourge/black convoy for transformers 3

[LemonProductions09]

I guess Autobot=Peterbilt and Decepticon=Kenworth?

[blackandgold51]

@LemonProductions09

What i want to know is, why the film makers did not have Opitmus Prime as a Cabover?

[LemonProductions09]

@blackandgold51 They were trying to have a good mass to size ratio. For example, if Prime were a cabover, he would have been intensely shorter than what he turned out to be. (I think I heard about 10-15 ft shorter) That's why the longer nose truck is better.

[blackandgold51]

@LemonProductions09

I see.

[azsako]

@LemonProductions09 True, But I believe that Optimus Prime was origannaly a cabover and I tend to prefer staying with the origainals. And if it's mass they want then they should check out "Freightliner RV of the future" Anyways just sharing.

[MotormasterK100]

@azsako Yes, Optimus Prime originally was a cabover, Freightliner FLA86 model. What is deceiving about the mass to size ratio though is that cabovers in reality have as much or even more surface area than a comparitable conventional. (ie with the same sleeper bunk size) The difference is wheelbase averages. Cabovers traditionally are shorter wheelbases out of functionality and or legal reasons, but they can also have the same 300+ inch wheelbase conventional show trucks have.

[MotormasterK100]

@azsako Not to mention the curb height comparisons between cabover and conventional. By building the cab around and on top of the engine, cabovers are also taller than conventionals, especially when they are Aerodyne models (taller sleeper with upper vista windows) This means the Optimus Prime truck can be trailered to shows, whereas Motormaster cannot, even after removing the intakes and exhaust.

[blackandgold51]

@MotormasterK100

Right. Michael Bay stated Optimus stands 28 feet(conventional truck form), but in an interview, ILM's Scott Farrar stated "The movie's Optimus Prime is 32 feet tall and made of 10,108 parts - and every single one had to be modeled and painted when they came within camera range. This puts him on the same height as the movie's Starscream and 2 to 4 feet shorter than Megatron as well in the film."

[dragonjohn7445]

@blackandgold51 G1 prime however was stated to be 50 feet tall :/ Bayformers fail size?

[mrdecepticonleader]

@blackandgold51 megatron for the film is apperntly 35 feet tall

[blackandgold51]

@mrdecepticonleader

I hear ya.

I just still wish that Michael Bay should haves used Optimus Prime as a Cabover.

When I first saw him as a conventional truck in the Transformers 1 preview movie I felt a little akward at first due to him being a conventional truck, but I got used to him since I like conventional trucks too.

But, after seeing this video of Motormaster still being original, it really makes me want to see OP as a cabover lol.

Michael Bay, takes notes.

[mrdecepticonleader]

@blackandgold51 well its a posablilty we could be seeing him like that cos apperntly hes gonna have a differnt look to him and bumblebee probably partly due to the fact there not gonna be able to sell a 40 plus figure 3 times in a row

[blackandgold51]

@mrdecepticonleader

Optimus Prime is going to have a back trailer but that's about it.

The Camaro will have some body modifications to make Bumblee a little more mature.

[Trailerrigger]

@azsako very true optimus did start out as a cabover but for the movies they turned him into "in my opinion" the better looking peterpilt 379 flattop with double jj headlights

[blackandgold51]

@Trailerrigger

I can't wait till' this thing finally has a trailer.

It will make this rig look huge and a lot better than the Peterbilt used as Optimus Prime.

I myself would have had Optimus Prime as a Cabover. A 1984 Frieghtliner with a 8v92 Detroit Diesel.

Cabovers the way I see it look menacing than Conventional Cabs.

[Trailerrigger]

@blackandgold51 It really depends on the cabover the argosy waas not very menacing the w900l is a menacing depending on the accesories alot of cabovers are menacing due to to fact it is basically a block it has a wide powerful stanceI do like cabovers but they are very uncomfortable and have the ability to cause more hearing damage then a conventional I love both but they each have there ups and downs

[putnut33]

@blackandgold51 no doubt this truck is cool, however good luck ever seeing it with a trailer as the owner of it isn't a truck driver and has no cdl. I've talked with him at kenworth in abingdon va. where my truck was in the shop and it is considered a recreational vec. with the dmv. He can't drive it legally with a trailer unless he gets his cdl.

[Hotshotmech38]

@ the beginning was he saying megatron???

[blackandgold51]

I guess 8v92 Detriot Deisel.

[MotormasterK100]

@blackandgold51 yes, 8v92 Silver, 550hp

[blackandgold51]

@MotormasterK100

Sorry for my late reply, but yeah I can tell that's a 8v92 because the 8's sounds deep than the 6, 12, and 16V.

[Protectorite]

TF3 = STUNTICONS!!!!!!!! (come on we all know its coming with the suped up race cars now this!!)

[hondarideralex]

got to love that detroit diesel sound.

[2010thekingofkings]

truck could use more purple.

[skilled1]

Seriously, whoever recorded this sucks ass. I'm getting motion sickness trying to watch the damn video.

[8bitPikachu]

woudn't it just be motormaster's feet?

because his trailer was the main part if his body

[MotormasterK100]

@8bitPikachu Sorry, no trailer for this updated version of Motormaster. Conventions rarely if ever allow large combination vehicles to come anyways.

[SergeantJackHarris]

Seriously...did Michael J. Fox film this? It's unwatchable.

[lowenbotten]

Is it really that hard to hold a camera without shaking it constantly? Really?

[lpncubs3]

tht doesnt give anything away for transformers 3?

[foxtrotrule]

@lpncubs3 nemisis prime?

[lpncubs3]

@foxtrotrule no stunticons.

[UncleDeluxe]

All that makes me wonder is why they couldn't have used a truck like that for Optimus Prime. I know it's not the same, but it a hell of a lot closer than the Peterbuilt they ended up with.

[thenames9]

I can see this being used in the next Live action movie. Why else would they have it?

[TFormerRock]

I went today is was sweet ! ! !

[Hepathos]

now it only needs a Green Goblin head!

[AutovoltGTS]

I wish this was Tf3's motormaster....it's still cool though anyway.

[thehmph1]

If that thing Transformed.... people will be shitting bricks

[Valkysas]

@thehmph1 to transform, all it would have to do is split in half. that's not motormaster, it's just his feet.

[Glitcher2000]

Will we get to see it crash into Optimus Prime?

[scanprod]

oh man that is so cool

it would be even cooler if it stood up and started to walk around

[Eric032289]

...So does it transform? :P

[MaxLindenProduction]

Woahhhhh.... Fucken amazing!!!!!

[transformersjones]

coolio

[piplup2009]

whats with the extra windows on the top?

[MaxLindenProduction]

@piplup2009 That is what Motormaster looks like.

[diamondmutt1111]

@piplup2009 the original cartoon had those on top of motormaster so i guess its a tribute to g1

[Paxtin]

@piplup2009

In general, I think that's a extended cab where the driver, and sometimes members of a pit crew, can sleep on the road.

[rxvexe]

@piplup2009 Its the cabin's skylight. Did you know that there is a bed behind the drives seat?

[MotormasterK100]

@piplup2009 This truck is a Kenworth K100E Aerodyne. The Aerodyne is a double bunk sleeper with two beds and enough room to stand behind the driver and passenger seats. The upper windows, or vista windows as they are referred to by Kenworth were put there so anyone riding in the top bunk could see out if they wanted. It is a very nice view from up there.
