Randomly reading a copy of Hot Rod (what, no Car Craft?) in a waiting room, I noticed an article about the real car used as Bumble Bee in the new move.
www.hotrod.com/toc/thismonth/
It was maybe 3 pages and had some decent photos of the actual cars re-skinned as the upcoming 2009 Chevy Camaro. They took two Pontiac GTOs, sent them off to Saleen, and rebuilt as prototype Camaros with GM's help. Said GM specified the graphics used.
This has the potential to be a giant car add with guns.
No photos of robot mode. Cars are really driven but never put on street. Also showed a Saleen modified mustang cop car and called it "Brawler"? It looked a LOT cooler than Bumble Bee. Mentioned Ford didn't want to be the bad guy vs Chevy so the company went with a Saleen.
The article also said they bought 3 old 76 Camaros for the pre-bumble bee parts. I guess that is was what the repair robot sees before changing the robots to earth type machines.
B itching Camaro!, B itching Camaro! Donuts on your lawn......
