The Bumblebee gets modified

ReFtheMC · 2008-06-12 20:49:22

http://i27.tinypic.com/2dqin28.jpg Autobot Bumblebee wasn't quite himself at the end of Transformers -- as in, there were quite a few chunks of him missing. For Transformers 2: Rise of the Fallen, the producers gave Bumblebee a solid buffing out, and he's returned with a new front spoiler and some stripes. The hood scoop and spoiler -- especially seen from the side (http://bp3.blogger.com/_G96gxvrHqrE/SE94k1G75XI/AAAAAAAACFY/Ar81rw8USso/s1600-h/FairmountParkCamp4.jpg) -- give the already bulldog-ish Camaro a nice goose on the badass scale. If this is the treatment that the Z28 will get, we're all for it. Click the link for more pics and video from the set. Thanks for the tip, Ed! http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2008/06/optimus-and-bumblebee-at-laurel-hill.html

Bumper looks horrible to me... Doesn't go with the car. Looks like the Holden Monaro bumper but not as cool.

Why in the heck would they still be using a concept body and not a production body??? Talk about a bait n' switch by GM

I think Bumblebee looked better than the actual new camaro pics.

Does anyone remember what bumblebee's interior looked like? I don't remember it being as bad as the production camaro.

I don't think I ever remember a car with this many years advance of advertising and taking so long to come out...

by the time it finally does come out, it'll be old news...

I'm telling you... GM is hiding a prototype TA under all this camaro hype...

^^There is no Trans-Am concept... If you are refering to the artitst renderings online those are pretty goofy as well.

wow he should just call a wambulance.All he did was state obvious facts about the cafe standards and attempt to tell the future.Once the Camaro is back it'll be here for a while.GM didn't spend all this time on it to dangle it in people's faces,let them hold it for a minute, and then take it away.

and that bumper is
