I understand what you're saying, but the tail lights are supposed to resemble the lights from the 1st gens

I've seen Bumblebee in person. Nice looking but I think the rear needs more work.

I saw it in Detroit of 2006. I, still to this day, can't stop thinking about the car and how badass it was and still is.

I liked the concept better in person, and I like the production prototype photos better than the concept.

It looks amazing in person. Pictures don't even come close to capturing the flared fender rear of the concept. That is the thing I am praying survives to the actual car. That amazing coke bottle shape. The mustang and Challenger are fat and slab sided.

I saw the silver concept at the Philadelphia Auto Show in '07. I liked the pictures, but the car looks much better in person.

I saw them up close & in person twice, last summer at the Michigan Fbody gathering, and again on the Hot Rod Power Tour, I was standing right next to the orange vert when it was driven out of the building and onto the semi...

I really want to see it in person, but I don't go to auto shows. Time + money + location all working against me
