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 ty ing 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.." |
