So hopefully I'm not the only one who has kinda thought of this. The idea came after watching a big summer hit movie I know...I'm a geek but hey...the idea of an Autobot or Decepticon magnetic badge for the MINI just seems so cool!

Does anyone know if anyone has attempted to make such magnetic badges yet? If not I wonder what the chances are of having someone making them.

 

Yes, you're a geek... but I think it looks cool!

I'd be all over one and my 5-year-old transformer nut would love it as well!

 

SEAL6, I bet you're chomping at the bit to take delivery of that AB/B !!! Can't wait for you to pick it up at RM/PDX and post some pics!!

We've been having a blast all summer in the MINI...now at 5K miles already!!!

 

Hahah I am chomping at the bit big time!

 

Only MINI owners could get away with this....

 

i went to see it fridasy night and loved it and would love to have a autobot badge. i even thinking off naming my mini blurr after a transformer on generation one.

 

hahaha we saw it on the 4th and the first conversation after walking out was Transformer badges! hahahaha...so yes it's a great idea
oh and the movie freaken RULED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it! (plus Shia Labouf (sp?) is a totall hottie even though he's like half my age)

 

The badges would be cool, but I don't think you'll find a retailer that will make them for you without the proper permission. You might be able to have something made on the side, but most places won't touch IP art, unless you have that permission.

 

I figured as much...I guess some of us will have to hope to get something done on the side

 

Not my MINI but it looks great

 

Here's a roof graphic that was comp'd up. Not sure if it ever got made.

 

Well you could always get a blank badge and have a vinyl sticker put on it, you can get those stickers made in the mall to any size you want. When I had my yellow Beetle I had one made 12"x14" and placed it on the bonnet. I'll post the pic in my gallery after work.

 

Good idea Valthun and thanks for the info.
Where do you get blank badges from though???

 

Fixed it for you Em.

And you're right, that movie (in spite of having a really weak plot) totally kicked a$$. This movie was what 40' movie screens were designed for!

 

ebay has a bunch, but they're all about 5" wide (didn't look at them all). You'll need something less than 3" for a grill badge.

 

exactly why you would go to the mall and have it custom made. they already have the template and usually it will be on the plexi-wall to show off what they can do. Keep in mind it won't be metallic and will be a solid single color.

 

I wish our malls were that cool.

 

I think our malls are pretty ghetto compared to yours Valthun.

 

you might be mistaken for a member of the international import team.... Team Autobots

 

Hey folks, hopefully not to get in trouble by posting on another post but it is related to the Transformers topic. Looks like opportunity to get some badges.

The MINI "transforms" many regular people behind the wheel into enthusists
