Jeepney in Transformers 2?

The Jeepney is a unique transportation that can only be found in the Philippines. It was originally made from the US military jeeps that were left to the Filipinos after World War II, giving it the powerful engine of an army jeep. Due to Filipino ingenuity, the body was remodeled by adding some metal roofs and decorating it with vibrant colors. It has rapidly emerged as a creative and popular means of public transportation.

Another word for jeepney is fierra but it's almost never used. It is best known in a song called Ang Fierra ni Juan ay may Butas sa Gulong (Juan's Jeep has a Hole in the Tire) Fierra being actually a brand of Asian Utility Vehicle produced by Ford which is also used as a jeepney.

In the Philippines, a jeepney is called as is, as its shorter wheelbase counterparts (Jeeps) are called owners, short for its local description owner-type jeep (as jeepneys are also called passenger-type jeeps.)

As an additional information, we also have Transformer Jeeps. Too bad it was not included in the Transformers 2 movie. I have a photo of it below:
