If the ad features The King driving Prime, then I will have to buy a burger from them to support the hilarity.

Or perhaps Prime transforms INTO The King.

Man, I want a burger really bad.

I would totally buy a Burger King themed voyager Prime figure. With the flip-down driver replaced with The King, obviously. Oh yes.

Why would Prime want to buy fast food? Or any food for that matter...

Maybe Sam is inside.

Good point. :lol:

I can see them doing some sort of "flame-grille" pun.

Well, if a robot was ordering food, I'd understand why he'd want something greasy.

Along those lines, maybe instead of supersizing an order, one could have it "Optimized"?

I think Prime's calling out the Burger King (aka the modern-day boogeyman).

Re: Optimus Prime to Star in Burger King Commercial? (94314)

lol...BK should use the Protect/Destroy teaser poster and use the Burger King in it.

(mock) Shock Horror!

I wonder how many Burger King restaurants will be seen in the film?
We already know that almost every scene with a Transformer in it will be a GM product placement, but I wonder how many Pepsi, BK and other product placements we will be seeing?
Anyone think Spielberg may throw an E.T. Poster in somewhere?

That just about makes up for Pepsi, which I hate. And, I like Burger King, too - as long as they serve big enough burgers.=9

(Wants a burger, too.)

According to on-set spies, Optimus Prime has already hit his Burger King endorsement deal too hard.
