Did you know that the live-action "Transformers" will all be based on actual cars? Which means that each hero and villain are basically … walking, talking, brawling advertisements. Kind like watching Ronald McDonald beat up on Burger King.
Anyway, IGN Movies has a pretty cool clip in which you can see footage of "Autobog Jazz" (a Pontiac Solstice), "Autobot Ratchet" (a Hummer H2), "Bumblebee" (a Chevy Camaro), and "Ironhide" (a GMC pickup truck). Pretty smart marketing techniques, eh?

The partnership between GMC and Paramount means cool toys for kids, current customers for the studios, and future customers for the car-makers. So it works great all around.
