Default Go See Bumblebee From The Transformers!!!

He's on the corner of La Brea and Santa Monica in Hollywood untill Sunday (10/21/07) It's the actual 18ft. robot from the film, not just a GTO dressed up like a Concept Camaro

Anyways, yup I'm a geek because I thought it was cool as heck ! If you're a geek, enjoy these pics and then go check it out for yourself !!!

Driving up to the plaza...



Peeking around the corner...



...and there he is.



Big toys for big boys!



A little Michael Bay style photography...



Now I really look like a Hobbit (I'm 5' 10" though)...



Me pointing the Hollywood sign out to yet another tourist...



Here you can see that he's looking at the Hollywood sign...



Look at how he towers over the van...



Pretty cool friggin place to live!



Ride home: Hollywood is full of giganitc creatures besides Rosie...



Now THIS is how you modify a CAMARO...



GO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF BEFORE HE'S GONE !!!

I thought Bumblebee was male:
