Looks like She LaBoof is well on his way to killing another potentially good movie.

I can see a potential slowdown in the action when the transformer has to go through two glow cycles before turning into a giant robot. But ... you know it would be the last transformer to be destroyed ... it would probably still run after three missiles were dropped on it.

Now just imagine how strong a 300GD transformer would be!

Seems to be smoking a little...

The exhaust side looks pretty black.

I know there must be a thread about w123's and the movies, but did anybody catch the 300D in "Burn after reading". Not a great movie but hilarious scene in which a Ford Probe rams a maple yellow (?) 300DT (did I get that right Jimmy) from behind. Hope it only took one take. Buckled the rear quarters pretty good but tail lights still intact. I think it had euro bumpers also.

Is it just me, or is there a giant hole in the car?
