All cars from Transformers movies

Cars from movies Transformers

It is difficult to recall a science fiction film, in which special effects would be as realistic as in all parts of Transformers. The picture did not leave anyone indifferent, in whose heart an eight-year-old boy with vivid imagination continues to live.

Transformers - perhaps the only film in which the heroes are exactly the cars. Even the Fast and the Furious with its glossy and pumped cars is not as focused on technology as this picture.

The highlight of the film is the shooting of a detailed transformation of huge robots into cars. Moreover, the Autobots and Decepticons turn into their own models, because each machine is beautiful in its own way. What cars were chosen as representatives of the Transformers universe? Look at the photos of these unique cars that have become the heroes of the struggle between good and evil.

Cars from the Transformers 2007 movie

The first part, released in 2007, completely transformed the understanding of the science fiction genre. The most popular representative of Cybertron was a fighter with a damaged sound processor - Bumblebee.

Despite the fact that this robot is not the main autobot, this yellow transformer was more fond of the viewer. Confirmation of this is a separate film about his early stay on planet Earth.

This hero turned into an old and steaming 1977 Chevrolet Camaro. In reality, this is an interesting car of the gas crisis era. The Muscle Cars representative was equipped with an 8-cylinder V-engine. The fuel system has been modernized (compared to the voracious first-generation ICEs), motor volume amounted to 5,7 liters, and power reached 360 horsepower.

In such an outfit, the Autobot did not ride for long and Sam Whitwicky became the lucky winner of the 2009 camaro! The film used a pre-production concept model, which was never released in the configuration in which it appeared in the film.

The leader of the Autobots was Optimus Prime. The giant physically could not transform into a small car, so the director decided to emphasize the impressive size of the hero, dressing him in the form of the Peterbilt 379 tractor.

The dream of any trucker belongs to the class of tractors equipped with an increased comfort system. This model was produced in the period from 1987 to 2007. Some experts believe that Optimus turned into the Kenworth W900L. This is not surprising, because St. Petersburg was built on a modified chassis this truck.

The Autobot squad also included:

• The Gunsmith Ironhide. The only autobot that does not like people. During trips, he transformed into the 2006 GMC TopKick Pickup. The American truck was powered by a V-8 diesel engine with DOHC system... Maximum power reached 300 hp. at 3 rpm.

• Scout Jazz. Landing near the car dealership, the Autobot scanned the exterior of the Pontiac Solstice GXP. The agile coupe is equipped with a 2,0-liter engine with a maximum power of 260 horsepower. From standstill to 100 km / h. It accelerates in 6 seconds. Great choice for reconnaissance missions. It is a pity that this robot died the death of the brave in the first part.

• Medic Ratchet. For this robot, the director chose the rescue Hummer H2. The military power of America was emphasized by this reliable off-road vehicle, which spoke on the side of good. To date, this copy of the armored car, created specifically for the film, is in the General Motors Museum, located in Detroit.

Opponents of the Autobots in the first part of the film were the following Decepticons:

• Barricade The first Decepticon, which the audience saw. This is a brutal police car Ford Mustang Saleen S281. Supercharged opponent is considered the most powerful Mustang of the entire Ford family. A 8-liter V-shaped 4,6-cylinder engine was placed under the hood of the car. Terrible 500 horsepower is difficult to resist the yellow Bumblebee, but the brave warrior is on the shoulder.

• Bunkrasher. The huge and clumsy Buffalo H armored personnel carrier is not afraid of anything, and this is not surprising, because it is equipped with mine protection. The “hand” of the Decepticon in real life is a 9-meter manipulator designed to mine objects. A motor for military equipment of the “enemy” develops a power of 450 hp, and an armored car accelerates to 105 km / h along the highway.

The remaining representatives of the Decepticons were transformed mainly into aviation equipment:

• Blackout The MH-53 helicopter is the first extraterrestrial enemy that soldiers of a closed military base had to face. By the way, the shooting was carried out at a real air force base in America called Holoman.

• Starscream. This is also not a fake, but an F-22 Raptor combat fighter. Transformers 2007 - the first film after the events of September 11, 2001, which was allowed to shoot with the help of military aircraft near the Pentagon.

• Megatron. In contrast to the general idea of ​​transforming robots into earth technology, the leader of the Decepticons was left the right to use extraterrestrial technologies. In this part, he turns into a Cybertron starship.

MACHINES FROM THE TRANSFORMER FILM!

Cars from the movie Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

Inspired by the incredible success of the picture, Michael Bay's team immediately began to create the second part of a fantastic action movie. After only two years, a sequel called “Revenge of the Fallen” appears on the screens.

It turns out that during the last battle, the opponents of the Autobots were not completely destroyed. But by the time of their rebellion, new robots arrived on the planet, joining the sweep of the hidden villains. In addition to the main brigade, the detachment was replenished with such soldiers:

• Sideswipe. This character was created, most likely, to replace the dead Jazz. It is represented by the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Returning to robot mode, he uses wheels like rollers, which allows him to “run” at speeds up to 140 km / h. The robot cleverly manages with two swords, and does not need other weapons.

• Skids and Madflap. Sideswipe's helpers are the most comic characters to discharge the tense atmosphere. Skides is represented by a green Beat Chevrolet (the viewer saw a prototype of the next generation Spark). The minicar with a 1,0-liter engine develops a power of 68 hp. and accelerates to a maximum speed of 151 km / h. His twin brother is a red Chevrolet Trax. Probably, during the test drive of this concept car, some shortcomings were revealed that did not make it possible to release a series in the near future.

• Arcy - representative of motor vehicles. This robot has the unique ability to split into three separate modules. The main motorcycle is the Ducati 848, equipped with a 140-horsepower two-cylinder engine with a maximum torque of 98 Nm at 9750 rpm. The second module, Chromia, is introduced by the 2008 Suzuki B-King. The third, Elite 1, is the MV Agusta F4. Such small equipment has low firepower, therefore, as Michael Bay stated, all three sisters died in this unit.

• Jolt appeared only in a short episode, and was presented by the prototype of the first-generation Chevrolet Volt known today.

• Jetfighter - The old Decepticon, who helped the Autobots, was reincarnated as an SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

In the second part, transformers are opposed by updated enemies, many of which are not like cars, for example, Fallen transformed into a starship, Soundwave into an orbiting satellite, Revage looked like a panther, and Scorponok looked like a huge scorpion.

At the same time, the Decepticon fleet has also been updated. Basically, as in the previous film, these are military or construction vehicles:

• Megatron after revitalization, it was already reincarnated as a cybertron tank.
• Sideways appears only at the beginning of the picture. This is the Audi R8, under the hood of which a 4,2-liter engine with 420 hp is installed. This sports car is able to accelerate to “hundreds” in 4,6 seconds, and a top speed of 301 km / h. Decepticon was immobilized by Sideswipe blades.

• Scrapmetal was a Volvo EC700C. He was dismantled at the bottom of the Mariana Trench to repair Megatron.

The most interesting Decepticon was the Devastator. It was not a separate robot.

It was built from the following modules:

• Demolisher - an excavator designed to work in a quarry. The heavyweight Decepticon in the director's mind looked exactly like the Terex-O & K RH 400.

• Mixmaster - Mack Granite, a concrete mixer that became the head of a monster;

• Rampage - bulldozer Caterpillar D9L, which held Sam's parents hostage;

• Long haul - the Caterpillar 773B dump truck took the place of the Devastator's right leg, and was considered one of the most enduring robots from the Megatron gang;

• Scraper - the right hand of the destroyer monster is represented by the yellow Caterpillar 992G loader;

• Hightower - a crane forming the left hand of the destroyer;
• Scavenger - Terex RH400, a red clone of Demolisher, turned out to be an integral part of the body of a giant;

• Overload - Komatsu HD465-7 dump truck, which formed the second half of the body.

WHAT MACHINES HAVE THE ROBOTS TRANSFORMED IN TRANSFORMERS 2?

Cars from the movie Transformers 3: The Dark Side of the Moon (2011)

The beginning of the third part relates the viewer to the times of the space race between the Soviet Union and America. On the dark side of the Earth’s natural satellite, an Autobot rescue ship was found on which rods for copying Cybertron were preserved in the cargo compartment. The robots decided to implement their evil plan precisely on the "pearl" of the Universe.

And again, the threat of annihilation loomed over humanity. To protect the "young mind" was an updated squad of Autobots. The transformers garage was replenished with such units:

• Rekers. Three twin brothers (Roadbuster, Topsin and Leadfoot) are transformed into stock cars for Nascar. Models selected for the characters - Chevrolet Impala SS Nascar Sprint Cup Series.

• Кью - A scientist who transformed into a Mercedes-Benz E350 in the back of W212. His inventions helped Sam kill Starscream. The four-door sedan was equipped with engines from 3,0 to 3,5 liters. This executive car accelerates to 100km / h. in 6,5-6,8 seconds.

• Mirage, scout. An elegant Italian sports car Ferrari 458 Italia was chosen for its transformation. Equipped with a promising 4,5-liter engine and a power of 570 hp, the car is able to accelerate to hundreds in 3,4 seconds. If during a reconnaissance mission a fighter is noticed, he will easily be able to hide from view, because the maximum speed of the car reaches 325 km / h. As you can see, the global automakers saw in the film not just a black hole in the budget of the film company (it took 972 million dollars to create all the parts), but the opportunity to organize a great PR for their developments.

• Sideswipe - confirmation that the automakers sought to "promote" their brand. By the beginning of the filming of the third part, a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray concept appeared, and the company asked to use this particular car model as a look for the robot.

Not only the Autobot squad was replenished with interesting specimens, the Decepticons did not lag behind in this regard. Their team was slightly transformed, and replenished with new units:

• Megatron received a new look in the form of a Mack Titan 10 fuel truck - an Australian tractor that can be used as the head unit of a road train. Under the hood of a strong man was a 6-cylinder diesel engine with a volume of 16 liters. and with a maximum power of 685 hp Less powerful models were created for the American market - up to a maximum of 605 horsepower. In this part of the franchise, he hid in the shadow of a more powerful and influential Decepticon.

• Shockwave - The central "villain" of the picture. It transforms into an extraterrestrial tank.
• Transformed and Soundwave. He realized that there was no use as a companion from him, so he decided to join the confreres on earth. As a camouflage, the robot chose an elegant Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Thanks to his appearance, it was easy for him to interest a collector of unique cars and make him a spy.

• Crankeys, Hatchet, Crowbar - Representatives of the security detachment, who disguised themselves as tuned Chevrolet Suburban. Equipped with 5,3 and 6,0-liter engines, full-fledged American SUVs had a power of 324 and 360 hp.

Gradually, the imagination of scriptwriters and directors began to deviate from the original theme, according to which robots should transform into machines. The viewer was able to notice this deviation, and the creators of the franchise had to do something.

Cars from the Transformers 4: Age of Annihilation movie (2014)

In 2014, a new part was released about the battle of iron aliens. Steven Spielberg left the post of producer, as well as actors beloved by many, Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf. The main character of the picture was pumped up Mark Wahlberg, and cars from the detachment of good were updated:

• Optimus Prime He took off his old St. Petersburg camouflage, and at first disguised himself as a rusty Marmon Cabover 97, and in an epic episode he scanned a representative of a new generation of American tractors - Western Star 5700XE, which also served as a chic promotion for innovative main tractors equipped with an abundance of innovative technical developments.

• A similar restyling was made for himself by the Hornet - from the tuned Chevrolet Camaro of 1967, he turned into the conceptual Chevrolet Camaro Concept Mk4.

• Hound - The representative of heavy artillery dresses in the 2010 Oshkosh FMTV. The request of the Armed Forces of America was satisfied by the demonstration of medium tactical vehicles, another unit, the purpose of which is to emphasize the fighting power of a world power.

• Drift It works in three different modes (a samurai robot, a car, and a Cybertron helicopter), but is not equipped with firearms. In car mode, it appears on the screen as the 16.4 Bugatti Veyron 2012 Grand Sport Vitesse. The model was named after the French athlete who defeated the 24-hour Le Mans race in 1939. The supercar could accelerate to 100 km / h. in 2,5 seconds, and reach a maximum speed of 415 km / h. Production of the model range was completed in 2015. The uncontrollable supercar was replaced by the Bugatti Chiron hypercar.

• Crosshairs - Autobot scientist who transforms into the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7.

On the side of good also stands a special race of robots - Dinobots. They are presented in the form of ancient creatures that once inhabited the earth - dinosaurs (Tyrannosaurus, Pteranodon, Triceratops and Spinosaurus).

The Decepticons in the fourth part are presented in the form of prototype robots created by human scientists:

• The mind of the deceased Megatron migrated to Galvatronthat uses the 2011 Freightliner Argosy Interior camouflage.

• Stinger prototype transforms into the 2012 Pagani Huayra Carbon Option. Initially, scientists created as a clone of Bumblebee, but not with his character.

• Tracks - A squad of robotic clones that use the look of the 2013 Cevrolet Trax model year.

• Junkheep - gestalt, transforming on the principle of Devastator from the second part. For robot mode, it uses three autonomous modules, after which it becomes a Japanese garbage truck, which is used by Waste Management.

Here is one episode demonstrating robots in action:

My favorite episode of Transformers 4 The Age of Extinction Optimus Prime

The neutral character in the picture turned out to be Lockdown - the assassin whom Optimus destroyed. This transformer used the Lanborghini Aventador LP 700-4 (LB834). In reality, the car replaced the Murcielago model. The “name” for the model (Aventador) is borrowed from the nickname of a bull, famous for his courage in the arena during the bullfight in Zaragoza. Marking 700-4 means 700 horsepower and four-wheel drive.

Cars from the Transformers 5: The Last Knight movie (2017)

The last part of the transformers turned out to be no less spectacular thanks to merciless filming, in which conceptual and fresh generations of famous auto brands were destroyed. On the side of good were:

• Hot Rod originally disguised as a 1963 Citroen DS, then takes on the look of a Lamborghini Centenario. The model has the characteristics of a real hypercar: 770 hp at 8600 rpm The motor has a V-shape and is equipped with four camshafts, and its volume is 6,5 liters.

Lamborghini Centenario

• The new face of the gunsmith Hound now represented by the civilian all-terrain vehicle Mercedes-Benz Unimog U4000. A feature of the motor of this "bastard" is 900 Nm. torque at 1400 rpm. Car loading capacity - up to 10 tons.

• Drift also changed his appearance. Now his camouflage is the Mercedes AMG GTR.

The remaining representatives of the Autobots and Decepticons using cars remained unchanged. Iron dinosaurs and robots without camouflage began to be used more in the picture.

Over the ten years of filming, about 2 cars have been scrapped. The second place in destructiveness during the creation of special effects was taken by the Forsage franchise (here on which cars the heroes of this picture rolled). During the performance of staged stunts of all eight of its parts, the stuntmen destroyed about 1 cars.

As you can see, originally created for science fiction lovers, the picture gradually migrated to the PR campaign category for leading automotive manufacturers.

Look also at the machines that were used in sci-fi movie Matrix.

Questions and answers:

Bumblebee what brand of car? The first Autobot Bumblebee ("Hornet") was transformed into the Chevrolet Camaro (1977). Over time, Michael Bay uses the 2014 concept. and vintage modification SS 1967.

Optimus Prime what car? Some are convinced that in the film the leader of the good robots was transformed into a Kenworth W900, but in fact, a Peterbilt 379 was used on the set.
