Less Than Meets the Eye: Ford Falcon XR6 Gives Birth to Conceptual Falcatron Transformer

|

As much as Ford's Australian division would have liked to see one of its models taking a role in the popular world of Transformers, this won't be happening any time soon.

For now, however, Ford will make do with a design for a conceptual Transformers character named the "Falcatron" based on the Australian market Falcon XR6 Turbo, which in real life sports a 4.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that generates 362hp / 270kW of power.

The Falcatron came to be after Ford organized a poll on its Facebook page asking fans to vote on which one of its models they would like to see as a Transformers character.

After choosing the Falcon XR6 Turbo, High Moon Studios, which is the developer behind the new Transformers video game titled "Transformers: Fall of Cybertron," created the artwork for the fictional "Falcatron" and released it this week to celebrate the launch of the game.

Now, whether the "Falcatron" resembles the actual Ford Falcon XR6 is a different story, one that we'll leave you to tell in the comments section below.

From the a-pillar back, not at all. Although it would be awesome to see a toned-down version of that as an XR6 coupe concept.

It'd be better if you had a pic of the current model Falcon XR6.  Google FG mkii.
