This Post is a bit late for the Movie "Transformers" since it already came out in the theaters; anyway this is pretty amusing and I really want to know Who made the photoshop editing on these.They must be really a fan of the Generation 1 series.
Optibus Prime (Optimus Prime)
The Bus has the "Victory Liner" on the side one of the recognizable Public vehicles in the Philippines
Bumble Jeep (Bumble Bee)
The Jeep is the Philippines most widely used form of public transportation, Originally the jeep was created out the need to create utility vehicles in the Philippines after World War II. It was made from worn out, damaged, junked or old and left behind US Military jeeps after the war.
A closer Look at the Jeep on the left you could read the word "ACE" on the windshield-hood frame; plus on the signboard, in front, above the windshield, you could read the "UP IKOT".
- U.P. meaning the "University of the Philippines", ikot - go around or around.
Basically the Sign means the Jeep's route goes around the U.P. Campus.
Colorum ( Ironhide )
The word "Colorum" in the Philippine Transport industry, actually refers to public vehicles that are unregistered and illegally travel and picks up passengers.
Kagawadzz ( Jazz )
Kagawad - interestingly enough refers to people on individuals as the local community peace keepers or community leaders.
Sembreaker (Ratchet)
The School bus or school Service Van on the Left has the "MIRIAM COLLEGE" on the side. If memory my serves me right; Miriam College was actually one of the first University to cause wide spread concerns regarding the suspicions and rumors, that there had been a leak in the Philippine Nursing Board Exam. The university was suspected of giving out similar review exams to the actual Board exam to its students.
Megatren (Megatron)
The L.R.T. (Light Rail Transit) one the most modern form of public transportation in the Philippines, since the late 80's.
It is also the most easily targeted place for terrorism;
The Rizal Day bombings, also referred to as the December 30 bombings and 12/30 attacks, were a series of bombings that occurred around Metro Manila in the Philippines on December 30, 2000. The explosion that claimed the most casualties occurred in a train cab at the Blumentritt station of the Metro Manila Light Rail Transit.
Barricab ( Barricade )
The Taxi on the Left has the sign "K and K"- I'm not sure what the K's mean, or if the K&K taxi really exist in the Philiipines
Boudary (Frenzy)
When the tricycle was first used as a Philippine transportation vehicle, no one seems to know. A few claim they hadn’t seen the thing before the Japanese time. Many aver tricycles started appearing on the road scene after World War II. Others declare it almost co-existed with the converted GI army jeeps. Accordingly, excess body parts left after the conversions were used to assemble sidecars attached to motorcycles, and thus the “tricycle” that has been known since in Philippine transportation.
