Do you really think putting cars in a movie is "alot of money" when your talking about a multinational firm like GM? When you think of large sums of money... consider the losses GM has taken, comparing it to individual wealth is pretty pointless if your trying to draw some kind of spending picture Carnut4ever… Do you really think putting cars in a movie is “alot of money” when your talking about a multinational firm like GM?

It would be real better by being faithful to the original designs. I must say GM must have paid a lot of money to the movie's producers to accept mostly GM vehicles.

Most if not all of the Autobots will be played by GMs while I know at least one Decepticon will be played by a FORD. FORD used to cut some deals were their cars and trucks could NOT be used as Villain cars, so GMs got shafted every time, corvettes being crashed crushed and blown to bits. Chevy trucks braking down or crashing during a chase while the FORDs got away without a scratch. The movie's a bit of an advert for GM, but then it's just back drop for the Robots in disguise. That said, when the devil IS the Camaro going to ship anyway? brcart3r,

Because Optimus is a Peterbilt in the film. I would also imagine that there will be more than four autobots in the film. And seeing as they've tried to establish realism by using existing brands, I don't think they'll just make up cars for the rest of them. GM doesn’t own Peterbilt do they?

It's be unfortunate if it was so bad I was ashamed to have it in my house, cause I loved Transformers growing up. My question is, when is GM going to ween us off this inefficient gasoline and move us over to Energon Cubes :P also to brcart3r: Yeah in season 2 of 24, Ford paid for the first two hour premier to run without commercials, in exchange for their vehicles (even the Thunderbird) to appear heavily in the show. I'm not a fan of blatant product placement, but in this case they have to drive some sort of car, so if it gets rid of commercials sure, might as well all be one manufacturer.

I dont think I have any bias towards the company. It was a smart decision for GM to get their name in the movie for sales and recognition, but i'm sure they had to pay a hefty fee for it. But Michael Bay always looks for product placements in his movies, and this is'nt the first time he went with GM to star in his films. GM cars were all over the place in The Island, especially the Caddy, with few exceptions to the Chrysler cop cars. Its all part of business, and with this movie, it's a win win with GM and Michael Bay. When the series 24 got huge in the 2nd season, Ford got an Explorer to make an appearence in most of the episodes for maybe 2 seasons. Its the same deal. GM conspiracy..?

They totally f'd up all the Transformers. They look really lame now, IMO anyway. This movie looks like it’s gonna blow. They totally f’d up all the Transformers.

This is cool product placement for GM though... much better than the placement in the Matrix Reloaded (if you didnt notice EVERY single car in the movie is GM, even oldsmobiles) Well whoever is evil lets hope they make it a toyota, cause toyotas suck ass.

I like how Michael Bay and Co. are being so faithful to the original concept of the cartoon. In the 80s the cartoon's main purpose was to sell toys. Now the movie's main purpose can be to sell cars. If anybody's interested to know, Michael Bay (who is directing Transformers) seems to have been in league with GM for a while. He directed the GM advertisement that featured the debut of the C6 Corvette (it was the ad where the SSR drove backwards onto the transport truck). And his next major film after said commercial, The Island, featured the Cadillac Cien concept and the Chevrolet SSR as "Hero Cars." To speculate on global_lightning's question, the villains in The Island mostly drove (slightly modified) Dodge Magnums. There was also a Chrysler Crossfire at one point, but I can't remember in what context exactly.
