Photo: Chevrolet Camaro Concept ‘Transformed’

As previously reported, the Chevrolet Camaro Concept will star in the forthcoming “Transformers” movie as “Bumblebee.” You’ve probably already seen our photo gallery of the yellow Camaro, but if you’ve been wondering how Bumblebee will look as a robot, we now have the answer to that question as well. After the jump is an image from the movie set of Bumblebee in robot form, Camaro engine visible and all…

Evetually the hype for this thing is going to wane… By the time it gets here, the Auto industry will have moved on from Musclecar flashbacks.

#2 I am complaining that they are over-exposing a product too long before launch so that it will feel stale by the time it is launched. Im not complaining about the product or the timescale to introduction either simply the over exposure it is getting too early.

How did you pass comprehension at school if you misunderstand the simplest of paragraphs?

GM “build quality”? Not likely.

But Thai, you forget that 98% of the world doesn’t check car blogs every day like us weirdos. To us, it will be overexposed. To JoeBlow on the street, it’ll be brand-spankin’ new.

#1 Do you think loyal fans of the car won’t wait? Most other people that haven’t seen it, will find it to be new/fresh to them. Do you think people will wait for the PS3? I know many that are, same principle here. As far as GM Quality and quality in general, I’ve owned a Honda and their great cars, but like every car/manufacturer they have their faults. My accord that I owned for 4 years had to have CB joints changed (sound familiar to Honda owners?) , fuel pump, thermostat, all broke and had to be replaced others stuff, like the rear seats head rests just dry rotting from the sun, Hmmm. Other family members have owned Toyotas, Nissans and they all have had issues (little secret things break). Most closed minded people that have the my stuff is better than your stuff mentality are just repressed 8 year olds. Anyhow as far as the comment on comprehension my rebuttal is. First ever heard of periods and comas? Secondly what were you trying to say with “it will be on 0% too “. Me thinks if you live in glass houses you should not throw stones. As far as the “Time table” GM wants to seen if there is still a market of “musclecars”, from the responce the have received they know the answer is yes.

Now I know Bumblebee was a VW, but did he have a Mullet? Just wondering.

Um, it’s CV (Continuous Velocity) not CB joints and no, it doesn;t sound familiar. Owned many Accords and not one of them had an issue with those or any other things mentioned. Just turn the key and drive away. 200, 300k on a Honda is easily done by me and a few of my friends and family.

Ever hear of intake manifolds on GM’s? How about Piston Slap on their mighty V8’s? Rear axle failure on full size SUV’s? Sun-gear failure on GMT360’s? Engine cradle failure on Impala’s (Ever raced a 3.8l engine down the highway after it fell out of the car next to you?)

Nah, ignorant people on a quest to make the imports look bad would never notice such things…

I Sold my Honda with 108000 miles on it still think it was a nice car, but I had all the previously mentioned problems, maybe you don’t live in a harsh climate and are blessed and thats the reason you had no problem. And YES many people in this part of the country are familiar with that cluck cluck ,cluck sound when you turn a honda with bad CVs, deal with it. If you don’t beleive me dumb ass google [honda and bad cv joints] Im sure they are all over the country. Im not bashing any imports im just saying all cars have problems. Honda just recalled 1/2 million cars, and toyota 1 MILLION. Don’t tell me that they care an what a great job their doing to recognise their mistakes, if it was GM FORD Chrysler youd be bashing the crap out of them. I noticed a few people import crazy sudenly slowed or stop posting thir regular bashing on american cars guess their coming back after the smoke cleared. So if anyone is IGNORANT its your lame ASS. Mr. Anonymous. Im sure the 3.8l Engine still beat the crap out of you, heck for that mater th motorless car.
Looks like the “IGNORANT PEOPLE”/person is stearing back at you in the mirror.

I was interested in this car enough to buy one . Now I feel bored of it and probably go for the challenger. This looks over hyped now.

Anonymous you are such a damn liar and are completely clueless on cars.

“200, 300k on a Honda is easily done by me and a few of my friends and family.” – Without replacing the CV joints? Bullsh*t!!! No car with CVs can go that long with replace them, or in some cases the whole axle (a lot of times its cheaper and easier that way). Click, click, click on the turn.

“Ever hear of intake manifolds on GM’s?” – Just what exactly breaks on the IM? If you even knew what an intake manifold was you would know its impossible for one to break. It can’t, its just a a metal pipe with other metal pipes coming out its side.

“How about Piston Slap on their mighty V8’s?” – Piston slap happens when FORGED pistons are cold. It is normal and IS NOT DETRIMENTAL TO THE MOTOR. Its just creates a little bit of knock that may be unsettling to clueless f*cks like you. GM’s V8s, or any V8, with cast pistons (which are a hell of a lot weaker, but cheaper and therefore used most often in stock cars) do not have this cold-knock (or piston slap).

“Rear axle failure on full size SUV’s?” – Do you have a source? Or are you just making sh*t up?

“Sun-gear failure on GMT360’s?” – Do you have a source? Or are you just making sh*t up?

“Engine cradle failure on Impala’s” – Engine cradle failure? Unless its a big-block powered Impala pushing enough horsepower and running quick enough times for NHRA rules to require an engine cradle (actually called a block girdle) it wouldn’t have one. So what the f*ck are you talking about? I have never heard of a engine just falling out the bottom of an Impala on the highway.

My Favorite part of owning a Z-28, is pulling up next to the kiddies who just got done maturbating to the Fast and the Furious, who are in their mothers 87 Civic, but some how think they are in the movie, and thinking their little cute Honda is actually gonna do something when that light turns. And then it happens, BAM, all they see is tail lights. I love people who have a hard on for the little imports. Congrats, you can rip me out of the hole with your all wheel drive, but that little four banger (no matter how many turbos you wanna strap to it) just can not, and does not, and never will hang and bang when the back tires grab and that “Mighty V8″ opens up. But hey, you import guys do a great job making your cars sound like dirt bikes with those awesome exhausts you put on. I mean I put a Flowmaster exhaust on my Z-28 and now it sounds like a T-Rex roaring, man I sure wish my car sounded like a vacuum cleaner instead. Darn the luck
