Autobots rollout!
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to ride shotgun inside of Optimus Prime? Of course you have. Well, for a limited time in three U.S. cities, Uber will give you the opportunity to take a ride in the Autobot leader’s iconic fire-clad Big Rig.
Here are the deets: the Optimus Prime Uber truck will be in Dallas until June 18th, Phoenix until the 20th and then LA on June 21st between the hours of 1pm to 7pm. In these select cities, during these specified dates and times, an Uber app user needs only to open the Uber app, click the Autobots option, set their pick up location and click “Rollout”, and if you’re in the vicinity of Optimus, you may be one of the lucky individuals to score a 15-minute ride.
It may not be easy but according to Uber’s blog persistence is the key here, “There’s only one Optimus Prime, so making contact will be difficult and may take many tries. But don’t give up!” While we can’t promise you an epic shootout between Optimus and the Decepticons during your trip, it is an awesome once in a lifetime experience, that you can brag about for years to come — and that’s almost just as great, right?
Transformers: Age of Extinction hits theaters June 27th. Enjoy a trailer below.
