Here is a post from that site.
I liked the new Knight Rider,but there are fans and
then there are FANS.....read below.
Give you an idea what is "out there".


MetroLight Studio of California produced the original computer effects on the show's first season on NBC. These effects were more similar to the nanotechnology effects featured in the February backdoor pilot. The first season Viper Defender had more of a nano "skin" than mechanical Transformer-like parts.

When the show moved from NBC to first-run syndication, BB&J Visual Effects took over the morphing sequences and other CGI effects displayed on the show. That's when the more Transformer-like morphing abilities you mentioned became the show's standard.

But this was done only because the show originally cost $1.5 million an episode to produce. After it was canceled in its first season, it was cheaper to use a different computer effects company which is the only reason the effects were ever changed. I'm convinced MetroLight Studio would've continued to produce the effects for the show had it remained on NBC and not been canceled.

As it stands, there are only so many different morphing techniques the Knight 3000 can have that can be somewhat plausible. Also take into consideration General Electric's interest in nanotechnology (who happen to own NBC, by the way), and it's not difficult to see where the inspiration for the new version of Knight Rider came from, especially after the concept proved to be very lucrative at the box office.“I'm the Knight Industries Two Thousand, not a tomato-on-wheels!”
