"Ka-chow!" - Lightning McQueen from Cars.

Transformers and nascar 2 of my favourite things together

The fact that there was a NASCAR designed after Optimus and Megatron is just awesome. I also love how 3 of the cars got turned into the 3 Wreckers we know and love.

What if Sentinel did not betray the Autobots

Some things to note, NASCAR cars reuse chassis and the sheet metal is usually taken off the car potential to be sold to fans which is why Christopher Bells hood is for sale and you can potentially find the rest of the sheet metal for sale or already in someone's collection. Second, Chip Ganassi Racing is no longer in NASCAR as their team was sold to Trackhouse Racing before the 2022 season. Third, The reason that Earnhardt was dropped from Chip Ganassi Racing's name is that it was originally it's own team know as Dale Earnhardt Incorporated but merged with Ginn Racing and then merging with Chip Ganassi Racing.

It would've been epic if TF: Age of Extinction had a scene where both of the Wreckers fight off Lockdown has they desperately try to escape from him.

There’s something funny about taking Jeff Gordon’s car, famous for being a blue car with red and orange (and at the time greenish-yellow) flames, going “Nah let’s make his Megatron” and then taking a completely different car and giving it that color scheme.

As a NASCAR Fan, I’m glad this topic was touched up upon, no one really thinks about the wreckers and their alt modes in DOTM [Also just a heads up, the cars aren’t called NASCARS, That’s the sanctioning body. They are just called NASCAR Stock Cars]

The Legend. The Runner-up. and the Rookie. Three Cars. *One Champion!*

Theorymus never disappoints

Nothing will ever beat the peak that was the canon Burger King Transformers crossover OC during AOE

13:13 the cars were likely rewrapped and used again for other races. As long as the chasis haven't been destroyed in a wreck since, parts of them could still be being used in the NASCAR Xfinity or ARCA series. Or, they're being used as show/track cars.

11:21 so thats why they all got glasses/visors. makes their designs look better honestly

I can’t imagine how guilty Bee must feel for getting Leadfoot killed

I actually own the orange roadbuster, and I love it. It's super nostalgic and also the colors are gorgeous

Another difference Mike Joy mentioned is that Jimmie Johnson doesn't have armor on his 48 chevy. Plus the other drivers don't have armor on theirs either because race cars normally don't have armor and they don't need it. In the case of concepts thoough, besides just leadfoot having a pet dog in his concept art, in roadbuster's concept art, he has a chainsaw on his left arm which would've been freaking cool but that weapon of roadbuster's was sadly scrapped.

I knew about the M&M collaboration but not the Optimus and NASCAR. Who else remember collecting g the M&M paper wraps with the M&M's cosplaying as the transformers?

I love the DOTM Wreckers, but they’re probably my least favourite iteration of the group. They don’t really stand out that much since all the Autobots are pretty violent (doesn’t help that Topspin doesn’t talk until TLK), and also there’s no Whirl, and he’s the best Wrecker.

Hey therymus you should start a series called "what If i was in bayverse" where you take characters from g1 knightverse etc and tell there story

Actually, the fire bros made a video about a scene that was cut from Age of extinction where Leadfoot and Bumblebee were at a power plant which was going to take place before Leadfoots death. So his vehicle mode was filmed but was cut from the final film

i’ve been watching you since I was six and I’m 10 you’re one of my favorite KZfaqr

Nascar and Paramount really had a strong relationship, huh? That's pretty cool to learn more about the history between the Transformers and Nascar. I wonder if they will collaborate on making a figure for the Transformers Collaborations line! P.S. Will there be an updated Which Transformers became which KSI video in the future?

Fun fact there's micro machines of the wreckers

Great video! I know you've discussed the whereabouts of other live action transformers vehicles, you should make one big video describing the location of every known vehicle. Just an idea of course!

I can agree, Race cars and guns are awsome along with turning into robots with a lot of guns, that just makes them badass.

7:31 hey at least he got to be with him in the studio series :)

I have been waiting for this

11:12 twintwist and sandstorm

great work as always. The Wreckers have some of the best designs in the series. Its just so cool

Nice video as always Theorymus!

This man can never stop with these bangers!

For the DOTM and Human Alliance toylines, the non-weaponised versions of the wreckers appear to be based on the Nationwide Series cars instead of the Sprint Cup ones. You can tell by the shape of the rear spoilers and the front ends.

As a former Nascar fan who is also of Colombian decent, I forgot how hyped I was to see Juan Pablo Montoya's 42 in Dark of Moon back in 2011.

I love this guys videos It makes so much sense

Been waiting for this a long time

nice video man keep up the good work

Awesome Job!🙌🌟

Theorymus is back with another amazing video.

I’m a big fan of both so I was hyped for this video!!!

This was an Awesome Video for NASCAR and Transformers Film Series.

I love the videos you make keep up the good work

Thanks for explaining about NASCAR and transformers in your video theorymus prime I enjoyed your videos btw your still my favorite KZfaqr ever 😊❤

So dope and interesting to wake up to!!

But leadfoot's pet steeljaw is an accessory in some of his figures.

Perfect timing to see Theory!

Just wanna give you thanks for all you do ❤

Fun fact: there was also going to be a DOTM deluxe Leadfoot in a target exclusive two- pack with topspin called 'autobot team racers' which sacrificed the majority of the OG figure's silver paint for sponsors including the infamous target logo in leadfoots beer gut, but it was unfortunately cancelled.

4:02 would’ve been a crazy villain

Ok this is awesome i didn't know about this

Your videos are the best

3:28 *foreshadowing*

The wreckers were so awsome.

Im glad you back video and take care you Health

Amazing Job I’m a fan of Nascar since 2018 and my favorite driver is Kyle Busch and my favorite sponsor is M&M’s

I love your intros btw.

8:42 who win the race leadfoot, Roadbuters, or Topspin?

Hendricks motorsports also bought the old Peterbilt 379 optimus prime was from barret jackson in 2016 miss seeing optimus as a petercar personally

This explains very well😉👍

Hopefully nascar and transformers will collaborate again

where was optimus when sentinel was attacking nest headquaters in dotm?

Leadfoot is Big Smoke (GTA San Andreas) as a Transformer

I do remember the Chris Bell race with it, wasn’t sure if it was the movie or a game at the time

1:20 so is the up coming TF 40 anniversary figure of bingo sports x TF Optimus Prime, that look like his knight mod design from aoe/tlk that is a heavy retool of ss crosshairs, collection based off this

Dude I was pulling for Newman to beat Gordon so hard that night. Honestly I would have loved to have seen the 4 car by that point we had lost Bobby a few years earlier. If you liked the red and black on the 42 take a look at the paint job on the 42 when it was the Texaco car in the early 2000's back in the Gen 4 days. ( I'm an long time Transformers and NASCAR fan). Great video

I would like Paramount to release all the deleted scenes from the Bayverse such as Leadfoot's death or Galvatron's transformation into Megatron.

As a nascar fan this is a great video

Hi Theorymus How are you? Awesome video btw

Better get your popcorn ready for the second Chicago Street Course in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season... I'm going with Austin Cindric this year's Street course. 👀🍿

What if leadfoot survived being hunted down by cemetery wind.

I really hope they bring back all 3 of these designs in the new universe. I think bay was cooking something with them

Tbh, this is my favorite transformer trio

Recently my favorite NASCAR driver broke his 42 winless streak.

The promotional stock cars could've been very likely to be repainted and used in other races. Alot of NASCAR chassis are reused for other races albeit with rebuilt motors.

Talk about your unlikely crossovers as I never knew about this unique concept of Transformers live action film history. Also it is kind of long overdue that something like this could happen to the transformers franchise given the overall history of the franchise.

Unrelated to BaYvErSe but in transformers g2 they had a subline of toys called gobots which were simple penny racer cars. Soundwave in particular was based off of a NASCAR car making him the only nascar soundwave in history

If the Wreckers appear in the Transformers reboot franchise, which includes Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, I hope that they transform into NASCAR stock cars again.

What if Sam didn’t go to Jetfire and went to another seeker?

I think the wreckers were one of the most unique autobots out there its a shame they were killed off or went missing

1:25 .....i want a toy of this. This is so beautiful

Men , It's fascinating how you can still get content related to these movies

Hasbro needs to make a 3 pack set of the Wreckers to give fans a second chance to afford them

I’d love a video on what if megatron survived in each movie, like what if megs survived the battle of la, maybe in the final battle in rotf he would keep his og body and so the forest battle would end way faster and maybe the ending of rotf would be completely different

Interesting stuff When are you gonna make a video about the SAG strike and its effect against revenge of the fallen movie?

This video rly made me think, is Theorymus a Nascar fan?

can you make a video explaining what happened to sam after the events of transformers dark of the moon

Imagine if we got Tempest and Warpath as characters...

Sadly the 3 ROTF stock cars probably got re-wrapped. Also from what I've heard Hendrick gave them two chassis to build off of, from I understanding and worked out a deal to get them back. Now to wait another 10 years to finally get the wreckers in the MPM line lol

I wish these guys were used more.

This theory bigger than my aspects

hey trans theories I had a realization. so we know that the original 7 primes, the original ancestors to the transformers possessed abilities: teleportation and telekinesis and I realized that Sentinel and Optimus both possess telekinesis at least a little bit since we see them both hold the matrix of leadership without even touching it and Optimus again uses telekinesis in age of extinction at the end as he held the seed before flying off. what do you think of this? I'd like to hear your thoughts and maybe it could be a video discussing in further detail perhaps?

Wow i did not know that NASCAR collaborate with Hasbro to do Transformers thats so cool I'll give Michael Bay that. And i also have a theory for you; in Transformers Rid 2015 season 2 finale Bumblebee melted Steeljaw legs to make sure he doesn't run away when the bomb explode. Then in season 4 Steeljaw returns unharm with his pack so I'll like you to make a video of how did Steeljaw and his pack survive to solve this mystery thank you.

NASCAR and Transformers remains one of my favorite collabs, and the closest I'll ever get to Transformers and Hot Wheels. I'm currently collecting the Wreckers and my eyes are set on getting SS Roadbuster and Leadfoot as I have the OG Topspin. But the concept seen in Dark of the Moon wants me to see a team of Autobots from Velocitron that transform into Various Racecars. *_(I have made a combiner team in this aspect.)_* but I would ask you Theorymus, If you were tasked in making an Autobot team of Velocitronians that transformed into Different racecars, what racing vehicles would you pick?

guys will see this and just think "hell yeah"

They put more effort on the nascar sponsors than Revenge of The Fallen 😭

Do a sound wave survive

Never knew this, even as a Nascar fan( I watched all three tf movies before i started watching Nascar that's why I said I didn't know).

Epic

I know you mainly focus on the live action movies but, can you do a what if smokescreen accepted the matrix of leadership in transformers prime?

Theorymus can do a video on the evolution of bumblebee's SS camaro modes in the bayverse universe.

When is the Soundwave timeline?
