I wonder how much GM paid to have all the Autobots be GM vehicles... It worked!! I want a Solstice and a Camaro so bad now!!!

The producers actually went to all dealers and looked for the biggest line of great looking cars and picked GM

I love how the solstice looks in person every time I see one, I just wish it was bigger, like a Viper and not the size of a miata. It looks mean.

Yeah, I heard Micheal Bay has connections with GM. He was able to use other concepts in other movies. I think the caddy in "The Island" and something else.

I saw it for the second time. The camaro is the hottness. This car should already be on the showroom floor. Im not even a fan of, yellow/ golden colors, but I have to say, its in my consideration along with blue. The new camaro has me pulling my hair out about getting a C5z or saving/waiting for the new camaro. The aggraviating thing is that the dealers are going to mark up the new one so bad.

I justed hated the part in "The Island" when the caddy had excessive body roll like a ****, its supposed to be a supercar. I just get picky on attention to detail on these kind of things.

I never even noticed that! Thats freakin awesome! Anyone wonder whether the yellow GTO that gets destroyed is the donor car for Bumblebee?

the GTO probably was the true shell for the 5th gen, and since it was already just a shell it probably made it easy for them to fling apart.

Funny I saw the GTO and nudged my wife and asked her if she noticed. No answer ( still mad at me for getting rid of her purple gto )

****** awesome movie! BTW the Mustang never died, it showed him on the way to the dam, and he never showed up to the big fight scene. Did anyone notice the blue GTO?

Happy 4th of July everyone...Have a safe and enjoyable day.
So did Ford steal the retro idea from the Prowler? Maybe it stole it from the SSR, no maybe it was the PT cruiser.

You're right, he wasn't in the big final fight scene but definitely said he was on the way. I was thinking thats who head optimus ripped off.

Hard to tell, **** was flying all over non-stop for 2 1/2 hours.

Yah, most likely broke down on the way

Besides like the article above shows, Transformers 2. Starscream, scorpinox and baracade are still around. Many more "could be found" out in space.

And who's to say they don't regenerate at the bottom of the sea??? Godzilla did it

After waiting a year I am happy to say this movie was worth the wait. Best movie i've seen in a LOOOONG time! My girlfriend kept looking over at me with a huge smile on her face during the movie b/c she was enjoying it sooo much! Everyone went "Owww" during the tunnel scene with the new camaro. Cracked me up! This single movie is going to do more for GM than any superbowl ad!

Yea and came back better than ever, well not the American version.

I didn’t think much of the 5th gen when I saw it in pictures but last year when I went to the NY car show I realized it looks nice as hell in person. Then I didn't see it for over a year except in pictures and started to forget how awesome it really looks but then this movie reminded my once again, I love my mustangs but that car is beautiful (hope it gets a non-detuned LS3 saw a dyno for a new 6spd 08 C6 389 rwhp with only 22miles). On to the movie it was GREAT I saw it the night of July 3rd and have been wanting to go back and see it again ever since then. I watch Transformers all the time as a kid and at one point thought they'll probably mess this movie up big time and just disappoint me. MAN WAS I WRONG!!
