Check out this really cool on the set picture of Bumblebee in robot form.



Bumblebee is supposed to be a Volkswagon, But since VW didn't wanted to be a part of the movie, They made Bumblebee into a 2008 Camaro.

That it is, but BumbleBee a high-powered rear-wheel drive sportscar, when he's supposed to be a low-powered front-wheel economy car? VW are morons, plain and simple. Not wanting to be part of the movie results in losing a bit of free publicity for them, but then again they're a shitty fucking car company these days anyway.

The reason why VW didn't wanted there car to be a part of the movie is cause they don't want there vehicles involved with toys that are associated with war.

So what's to stop General Motors for saying the same about the usage of their Camaro?

After that went down, GM made a deal to promote there new 2008 Camara in the movie, Therefore Bumblebee will become a 2008 Camaro. Based on what I read on the set reports and such, Bumblebee will start out as a 1970s Camero and then gets rebuilt as a 2008/2009 Camaro. Check out this page here, There are a ton of on set photos with lots of the vehicles that are being used, Like this new Ford Mustang thats a police car and its actually a Decepticon. On that car It has the phrase, "To Punish And Enslave.."
