GM marketing blitz for Transformers about to begin
GM's publicity push for the Transformers movie -- and the Pontiac Solstice GXP -- is about to begin. Next month's Maxim magazine will feature "Killer Talent," in the person of Megan Fox, and "Killer of Decepticons," in the metallic skin of Autobot Jazz, both in the service of winning a "Killer Ride," the Pontiac Solstice GXP. For the time being, Maxim Online has exclusive content for those of you who want to win the hotted up two-seater. If you win, you will also get "VIP treatment" from Megan at the premiere of the film, which, frankly, would be just as nice as the car as far as we're concerned. We know, we know, you've probably heard more than you want to hear about the Transformers movie -- but can you really hear too much about Megan Fox? And did we mention you can win a car?

I'm a little disappointed that the robot forms look so different from their car counterparts. Reminds me of how the proportions of the car panels would totally shrink and distort in the cartoon when they turned into robots. And I have NO idea what Megatron is supposed to be, but I'm guessing, NOT a Walther handgun with a scope and silencer.
And Miss Fox can give me the VIP treatment anytime.

Oh yeah, and why do Jazz's wheels look like they came off a 20 yr old pickup truck when he's in robot form? Are they rusty??

Speaking of marketing for Transformers, I was on GM's Web site yesterday (disclosure: I am an employee of GM) and noticed Chevy has a an Autobot's battle game online. It seems pretty cool. You can check it out at http://chevyautobot.com/.

So it comes full circle.. the original cartoon was made to sell Transformers toys. Now, the movie is made to sell GM's toys.

I've yet to see a guy driving either a Solstice or a Sky.

I'm sure that all the posts above me are all guys and I'm kinda disappointed about this. If no one will say it then I will... Megan Fox is a fox! She is now reason #2 why I'm watching this movie! Forget about that rekindling childhood crap! BTW, reason #1 is seeing the new Camaro/Bumblebee
