As many know, the upcoming movie "Transformers: Dark of the Moon", features 3 heroes who transform into CoTs. One into Dale Jr's #88, another in Jimmie's #48, and finally a third in JPM's #42.
While its nice to see, and understandable to see why they went with the drivers they went with(and considering the franchise has an exclusivity deal with General Motors, they didnt have a plethora of options), one sad fact remains...
The characters in their robot modes are designed as stereotypical NASCAR fans. Beer guts, ballcaps, beards/goatees, sunglasses, and mullets. All 3 of them. I guess they couldnt find a way to incorporate shorts and a wife beater.
Whatever good it does to get NASCAR associated with a summer blockbuster is instantly nullified by the need to go overboard with the rest of their design.
Sorry for the rant, it just makes me angry.
