I've always wanted to go up to someone with a transformer badge and say "So what does it transform in to when it isn't a piece of *****?"

But figure I'll get my head belted in

I've seen two instances where people have got the badges tattooed broadly across both wrists. The first case was years ago well before the movies.

The only truly appropriate one I ever saw was on an art union prize draw car out at Emerald in the shopping center...it was a brand new and genuine Chevrolet "Transformers Edition" Camaro just like Bumblebee...bright yellow, black stripes, metal Transformer badges, the logo also embroidered here and there inside and also on top of the gearknob...awesome car!!

This is the special editions webpage (some great models there)...
http://www.chevrolet.com/pages/open/...ial-edition.do

and this is the link to the Transformers edition model...

One that I really hate are those stupid glittery "Magic Happens" stickers. Every time I see those stickers on a car it makes me want to run them into a ditch.
