Rideshare Uber sending Transformer into action in Phoenix

PHOENIX — Autobots, roll out.

Or at least one of them. Ridesharing startup Uber is sending Optimus Prime to Phoenix and two other cities, this week, to ferry lucky customers to their destinations.

The Transformers’ leader is scheduled to be in Phoenix on Thursday from 1 to 7 p.m. The site said there is only one, so booking it will be a long shot.

The other cities selected were Dallas (Monday) and Los Angeles (Saturday).
