TF videos on YouTube, ads, etc.
(As of now, this is nowhere near complete, going to get on Youtube with a faster connection to get some of the older videos, ie the Citroen, preview of Alt. Meister, Transforming VW Beetle, etc.)
Okay, here's the (somewhat) definitive list of Transformers videos, still a work in progress.

Uh, anything else major that's still missing?)

Mazda RX-8 Alternator
I just saw this over on Seibertron. Apparently, Mazda is working with Hasbro to create a Mazda RX-8 Autobot Alternator. Here is a video to show you.

Pure Speculation below:
My only question is which Autobot is it? It's a red and white Autobot but it can't be Sideswipe since he's a Dodge Viper. Red Alert just doesn't seem to fit the bill since the Alternators appear to be following the G1 line. Windcharger is a possibility or maybe Cliffjumper though I would have suspected Cliffy to be a Volkswagon beetle and not a Mazda. I've been looking at the toy scans and Chase seems to be a possibility as well. Inferno would be absurd since he's a fire truck.
All in all, I'm leaning toward Windcharger on this model though I could very well be wrong.
Your thoughts?

Thanks, Zeeks! Great job!

Real-life Transformer based on Mini Cooper...

Nifty, eh?

Vehicle to autonomous biped robot conversion for the Mini Cooper r50.
I first had the vision to build a robot while working as an engineer on the old Mini Coopers in the late 1960s. There were no real robots at the time of course, so it was purely science-fiction. But I always believed a robot would be the most natural complement to the automobile - a full biped, intelligent version having great strength, dexterity and a library of mechanical knowledge. I imagined a robot with the ability to repair vehicles, direct traffic and watch over high-accident crossroads to preempt accidents.
This ambition started to look possible when work began on the new Mini. I've always believed BMW overbuilds many of their parts, so the over-building of certain Mini applications for my robotics use went unnoticed. In 1998, I began tests in a remote location outside Oxford.
In 2000 I thought my formal connection to Mini might be severed when Rover was sold by BMW. Luckily, BMW chose to retain the Mini brand. Subsequently, a few engineers would need to stay in England - Oxford to be exact. I was slated for retirement and was originally from the Oxford area so it raised little suspicion when I offered to stay. From then on, progress was swift.

No, this isn't [edit: I should say doesn't appear to be] some guy playing around with animation. This is an actual built robot.Originally posted by Tempest
I'm not going to be bothered clicking on that link because I already know what is it (The one that looks a bit like Jazz?). Looks alright but ... eh ...
I'd guess the site will be back properly in a bit... some people are questioning the extent of its authenticity, though:

The video close-ups of the robot's arms appear to have that slightly "semi-liquid surface" effect that's characteristic for GCI. True, not as obvious as on Babylon 5 but it's still there. Thus, I rather question its authencity,
