Wonder what Megatron is going to be... I heard Prime was a firetruck. Maybe Megs will be a tank.


Optimus Prime: Megatron must be stopped... no matter the cost.


Megatron: I would have waited an eternity for this.


Megatron: It's over, Prime.

Prime: NEVER!

I would love to get a Blue Camaro, with white stripes going down the center, like the yellow/black themed one up above. Maybe a Silver/Black would be awesome also!

The Camaro concept is built on a STS chassis... not much different.

Yes, the Concept is on the STS derived "zeta" chassis.

The "Bumble-Bee" car is on a GTO chassis .

I was not doubting that, I was just adding to it. If you look underneath them, there's not a ton of difference.
