Other minor changes to the cosmetics of the fire truck included blue emergency lights, instead of red, the boom ladder was changed from white to metallic gray, the windows got a nice dark tint, and the Autobots logos were prominently painted on the sides. The ultimate color chosen was a red tone indicative of a vehicle that sat in the sun for 20 years. While the signature Panther yellow and green was eye-catching, Bay wanted a more traditional red. The production company designed and built a 54-foot extendable turret for the top of the Panther, the only other prominent change to the stock fire truck was the color scheme. Fully loaded, it checks in at over 40 tons! It can hold 3,000 gallons of water with a highly-concentrated foam. Good thing, because the Panther is over 40 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 10 feet tall. While the manufacturer did not have to provide any transformable vehicle parts, the film’s special effects team requested blueprints of the Panther, so they could create dimensionally correct transformations from the fire truck to Sentinel Prime. Rosenbauer was excited to lend its powerful vehicle to the movie. The Panther was chosen by director Michael Bay personally, for its tough, massive, and contemporary stature. Known in real life as the Panther 6X6, this most-popular fire-fighting vehicle is built by Wyoming manufacturer Rosenbauer America. After nearly 50 years of being stranded on the dark side of the moon, he crash lands on Earth to join the fight between the Autobots and the Decepticons, but not always on the right side. Sentinel Prime, voiced by Leonard Nimoy, the legendary Star Trek character Spock, transforms into a child-loving fire truck.

TRANSFORMERS 3 SENTINEL PRIME PLUS
This one’s a time-traveling movie, kind of, thrown in the wash with fragments of Indiana Jones (referenced by name) a sliver of a “Fast & Furious” headbanger (some nimble digital and practical chase footage) plus a hint of a “King Kong” movie. In “Rise of the Beasts” the Autobots have been stranded on Earth for seven years and seven films.
