Actually, it was the Blackout, the bot that transforms into a helicopter.
Yeah, he sliced it up pretty badly.

Saw it with a group of friends, and we all thought it was awesome. When I saw the new Camaro on screen for the first time, I stopped breathing for a second . Movie was so great, I'm going to see it again! Def pickin it up on Blu-ray, the special effects were outstanding.

And I can not wait for the new Camaro! It was gorgeous.

I saw the movie with my family and everyone loved it . My little girls asked if I'm going to get the new Camaro , they thought it was an awesome looking car . The movie overall was outstanding , I thinked I blinked three times . Any of you guys used to play with the toys and watch the cartoon ? Michael Bay and crew did a phenomenal job on that movie . I loved how Optimus Prime says " Autobots , Roll Out " @ the end , it took me back to being a kid playing with the toys and making the "transforming" sounds . The use of GM vehicles was superb . The movie itself was top notch from beginning to end and the new Camaro just pushed it over the top . When Bumblebee was a 2nd gen it looked like he had a small block with fabricated valvecovers and an ITB manifold . GM , if your reading this , make us THAT Camaro !!! If I can get 400+hp and some nice wheels and some decent options for $30k I will buy it . Please don't cut or change anything (I'm sure the sideview mirrors will have to be enlarged) but you have a definite winner .

SPOILERS AHEAD (well sort of...)












Best lines in the movie?

"You lookin' at my piece, 50 cent?"

[leet-haxor] "We have to stick together."
[Brit-babe] "Okay."
[leet haxor] (cops walk in) "SHE DID IT!"

[Ironhide] parents. Should I take 'em out?
[Optimus] WTF?! No!
[Ironhide] I'm just saying...it's an option...

But the winner is bumblebee, breakin' out all those strategically placed songs and driving whitwicky and the girl to that makeout spot. That was one hell of an intake manifold...

Those were all great lines, but there was one more you forgot. When he is driving the girl home and she start off how she likes muscular guys with tight abs, big arms, etc.
*flexes arm*
*points to dome light*
Well there are a couple of new additions to the car
This dome light here
*points to disco ball*
And this disco ball
See the light reflects off the disco ball
My 11 year old brother burst out laughing in the middle of the movie because of this scene.
