The customized vehicles that stood in for Optimus Prime and Bumblebee during big-screen chase scenes are being auctioned by Barrett-Jackson, the auction house has announced.
Optimus Prime, the iconic truck from the billions-grossing Transformers franchise will sell to the highest bidder in front of a capacity crowd that includes more than 300,000 event participants and 5.5 million television viewers worldwide. The truck will be accompanied by its brother-in-arms, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro used as Transformers: Age of Extinction's Bumblebee.
Barrett-Jackson, billed as the World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will sell the two along with a number of other high-end vehicles at its Scottsdale auction at the end of January.
After its appearance on the silver screen, the Bumblebee 1967 Camaro selling at Barrett-Jackson was fully retrofitted to operate like a 2014 car and lived as part of Michael Bay's personal collection before he decided to part with it.
