 Megatron was made in my hometown, or his engine and transmission were, at least. |

My hometown is where the Volvo power train plant is, which was formerly the Mack power train plant, and still makes parts for Mack trucks.
Well, this weekend they're having an open house. I was initially going to pass on it because I've seen that plant, because I used to work in their HR department. But then I found out that there's a special guest: Megatron. Or rather, the truck they used in the film. Has this appeared at other locations? Is it worth checking out? Edit: It's this event, and I've decided I'm going. Pictures will follow. http://www.wqcmfm.com/VOLVO-POWERTRAIN-S-P...-HOUSE/10783971 Edit 2: Pictures I took are here This post has been edited by Rosicrucian: Sep 17 2011, 03:33 PM --------------------  |

Go do it. I live real close to the musuem that had the sr-71 in it and I had to go just for that.

Hey, I live within walking distance of the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and they have the Bumblebee prop sitting right inside the entrance. The way I see it, you have slightly less of an excuse than I do to see something cool and TF-related and snap a few photos.

And come to think of it, have we even seen that much of it for publicity stuff, like we have for the Chevys?
Go, and then send some nice photos! |

The little Jetfire exhibit next to the SR-71 at the Udvar-Hazy annex is pretty neat. Appearently Bay gave most of the props they used filming there to the museum. And in a year or so, Discovery will be behind the SR-71, so we'll have two Transformers film aircraft there. --------------------  Looking for; 2005 Botcon Ratchet, Junker Classics Optimus Prime (for parts) |

Guess that settles it. Bringing the camera along, stopping there after work.
