Optimus prime which truck

I was unhappy with the proverbial wall I had hit in life, and kept letting the fear of failure hold me back. Finally, I just decided it was time for a change. And ultimately, with the help and faithful support of my family, my goal in doing this was to inspire our young son that ALL dreams are possible, and that he should never be afraid of failure.

Answer : For one, I was not a truck driver prior to this. In fact I had never set foot inside a truck in my life. In order to even consider this, I had to study for and obtain my Commercial Driver License.

Additionally, we had no build specs or blueprints of the original truck. All we had were a limited supply of photos and videos that were posted online of the original truck. Financials were another impossible scenario. I do not come from a wealthy background, nor do I have a multi-million dollar income. This project took everything we had. We lost a life savings, obtained a second mortgage, and entered into a plethora of debt because of it.

Even to this day, we still struggle to keep it on the road while attempting to restore everything we lost along the way. But again, if my son tackles his own dreams one day using the inspiration he gained from watching me, then I feel like my job as a father is done. So I don't mind the debt.

I'll pay it off the rest of my life if I have to. Answer : Because replicas of the old Peterbuilt and even the original 80's cab-over have already been done. No other fan in the world based on my research into this truck Plus this style is my personal favorite from all of the various forms Optimus has held over the years. But Optimus is an icon. His morals, his character, and everything about him represents the epitome of who I want to be as a person.

So technically it doesn't really matter what form he portrays. He is my hero regardless. Answer : Everyone wants to know the dollar amount. But there are some things we keep to ourselves. And that's one of them. Bottom line, it's comes down to a loss of almost everything financially, along with a long road of debt and recovery still ahead.

Not to mention significant changes in our family dynamic that we are still adapting to. Answer: To the trained eye, it is pretty easy to spot the differences between our replica and the original trucks. Especially now that we have added several personalized modifications to our replica that the original trucks don't have. We invite you to watch this video on YouTube that outlines virtually every major difference between the two as of March Answer: Optimus does not transform.

It took some modifications to get it stunt ready — such as placing a Brodie knob on the steering wheel to allow him to spin it quickly for high-speed turns. I am pretty proud of the fact that it's in one piece. But if you break something he's not happy," says Peters. Peters even recalls that the truck had to drive through some explosions on the set during one memorable stunt.

The touch ups and street-ready modifications are going to be needed since Optimus Prime will be going on a tour in cities such as Dallas, Phoenix and Los Angeles this week. Fans in those cities can open their Uber transportation app and have the opportunity to order Optimus Prime to pick them up instead of a regular Uber car.

There will be no stunts performed in the rides.
