Transformer - Optimus Prime
Optimus Prime has most often been a semi throughout the history of the Transformers. It was only a question as to whether he'd be a cab-over or conventional in the film.
Lots of chrome and lots of lights ensure that Optimus would look dramatic no matter how he was shot. Both trucks modified to portray O.P. were mid-'80s conventional Peterbilts with full sleepers. Their drivetrains — including their enormous six-cylinder diesel engines — were left untouched.
Since Optimus doesn't pull a trailer in Transformers, it was important that he be just as photogenic from the rear as the front.
The fiery paint on Optimus is as good as that on many hot rods. The color scheme also recalls later versions of Optimus seen in the cartoon series.
The Autobot symbol replaces that of Peterbilt's atop the grille. The whole grille has been modified so the truck can't be instantly recognized as Pete and to make producing the toys simpler.
Transformer - GMC TopKick 4500
Even without the big Road Armor front bumper, big tires and tall exhaust stack, the GMC TopKick 4500 is a beast of a rig. It would be intimidating painted lavender.
Ironhide is powered by a stock 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 as found in GM's heavy-duty pickups. But the HD pickups don't get the cool tilt front end.
The standard TopKick has massive side mirrors in order to see around utility beds and trailers. Those were swapped out for side mirrors from a Yukon for a cleaner look on Ironhide.
Since Ironhide's interior isn't seen on camera, it was left stock. For stunt drivers working during the summer of 2006 in the New Mexico desert, the best thing about Ironhide was that the A/C worked.
It's a face for Hasbro to love. Millions of kids will soon be playing with toys that look like this.
Here's GM's favorite view of Ironhide.
