So one of the random things that happen when you are in the LA area is sometimes you run across things like this. Optimus Prime from Transformers was parked at the local Holiday Inn along the 60 freeway. I was headed into the studio this morning and caught it out of the corner of my eye, so of course, I had to flip a U-Turn and check it out. No one came out to see me and Optimus played it cool by not answering any of my questions.

It was cool to see in person and the level of fit and finish was pretty impressive. Check out the rest of the photos of Optimus below and be sure to check out the other cars we have “Spotted on the Street” HERE.
