Just weeks before Transformers 2 hits theaters, GM's killed Ironhide, announcing they'll be ceasing production of medium duty trucks after being unable to find a buyer due to the Carpocalypse. Goodbye, GMC TopKick and Chevy Kodiak. You'll both be missed. More »

More details regarding everyone's favorite movie sequel trickle in by the day. We know that filming is set to begin next week in the Philadelphia area and Ironhide, better known as the GMC Topkick, was spotted en route to the location for filming. The interesting item to note is what was being hauled along with Ironhide. A motorcycle was spotted in the bed of the truck as well as a Can-Am Spyder being hauled alongside. We could get all excited speculating about whether the motorcycle and Can-Am Spyder are miniature Transformers, but they're probably just props or stunt vehicles for the less robotic stars of Transformers 2. Click through for more details about the first shoot next week.

Today's daily Transformers 2 update comes with more spotted Autobots and rumors of a filming location. Photographed in the Culver City, Calif. is this truck loaded up with Ironhide and Ratchet. This is the third Transformer spotting we've seen over the past week. Last Friday we saw twin Barricades, yesterday we caught glimpse of Optimus Prime and now we have Ratchet and Ironhide. My keen eye also noticed that all of the spotted Transformers are being hauled around from seemingly the same truck and trailer. That's one hell of a lucky truck driver. More »

Everyone's got to have something different for the Woodward Dream Cruise. Whether it's customizing your classic car or having something entirely unique you've really got to bring your "A" game to really roll in the largest classic car event nobody's ever heard of in the world. Like the guy above who's brought out a GMC TopKick modded out to look like everyone's favorite Autobot weapons specialist, Ironhide. Or at least I thought it was just a modified GMC TopKick — until I happened to catch Mr. Transformer here as he tried to sneak up on me from behind, and snagged some shots of him in my side mirror just as I was trying to get into the left lane. All I've got to say is never cut in front of Ironhide when he's really in a hurry. Just sayin'...those laser burns are really difficult to buff out. Needless to say, I let him by. OK, now back to today's Woodward Dream Cruise coverage.

The General took four robots in disguise to the GM Riverwalk this afternoon to show them off in all their vehicular glory and gave us the exclusive look at all of them — before they're sent out west to californicate with the stars at the premiere. Although we weren't allowed to drive or even touch the GMC TopKick (Ironhide), Camaro concept car (Bumblebee), Solstice (Jazz) and Hummer (Ratchet) making up the four Autobot alt-vehicle modes owned by GM, we did find a way to make sure Jalopnik got a chance to sorta touch at least one of them. Check out our galleries of the hot car-robot action in our four galleries below. – Ray Wert More »

Our fave fan site of all things 'formers dropped a pic today of everyone's favorite Autobot, Ironhide. The boys at TFW2005 found some concept art for the people working at ILM make its way into their hands. I'm not so sure I'm liking this here 'bot if he's going to look like this. I mean don't get me wrong, it's kind of cool, but I think I'd prefer to see something that looks more like a minivan transformed. But, that's probably just the part of me which remembers what it was like to be a kid, watching Ironhide killed by a Megatron-armed Starscream. This one looks like he'd take Starscream, turn him into a crumpled ball of metal, and then kick him out the air lock. So maybe this one could be better. Ah well, check out the full picture at the top of our full Transformers gallery below. – Ray Wert More »

Yes, that's Ratchet. He's now yellow and he's a transmogrified Hummer. Will the horrors never end? Maybe — because although we brought you the news first Autobot Ironhide's alt-form would be a GMC TopKick, we've now got a non-camera phone pic to prove it — and he looks pretty damn good with those tall pipes and the big ol' Autobot emblem across the tailgate. Oh, and is that Jazz under the tarp over there behind Ratchet? We think maybe so. Check out a second Ratchet pic and Ironhide's iron back-side after the jump. More »

So there you have it — Megatron in all of his what appears to be frozen glory. We've also got another shot of the Camaro-rockin' Bumblebee fully transformed, as well as another picture of Prime as a long-nosed Semi and finally what looks to be "Team Autobot" — the Black GMC TopKick (Ironhide), the modified H2 (Ratchet) and the Camaro concept (Bumblebee) all surrounding a ready-to-roll-out long-nosed Semi (Optimus Prime). Looks like a fanboy circle-jerk to us! But wait-wait, there's more — click the jump to find out the names of all the Autobots and Decepticons appearing in the movie from an online chat with the producers held this AM.

Yes, it's still Ironhide. Actually, the problem is that the GMC "Sierra" dressed up as Ironhide — it's not so much a Sierra. Reader dankickass gave us the down-low: More »

It must be Transformers Friday round these parts, what with the pics we received today that may or may not be earlier Constructicons ready to form Devastator and now these two pics received from our enterprising friend Hue out in LA. But what could it be? That's definitely an Autobot insignia...hmm. Ahh, we've got it now. Take a good look at the rear-end of a certain used-to-be red Nissan van by the name of Ironhide. Full text of the e-mail from Hue and a second shot after the jump. Also remember to keep up with all of our Transformers coverage through our mini-site and the corresponding RSS feed. More »
