the funny thing is when it makes the sound half the time they don't know if it's the car or his bumble bee figure standing in front of it.

He has the speaker under the hood, so at shows, when people poke their head under the hood to look, he hits the remote... people get pretty startled by it, then realize what it is and grin from ear to ear.

Gonna have to get me one for shows n stuff.

I started a thread about a very similar notion down this way.

Here's another good happening.

At the end of one of my drill weekends, I stopped by a gas station. When I got out of the car, another car near mine had kids just gawking.

One asked me, "Did you beat the Decepticons?" I don't usually get that question - but quickly realized that here I was, in uniform (ACUs), getting out of a Bumblebee (in the film, uniformed guys and the transformers were taking it to the bad guys).

I told the kid, "We got 'em!" It was a cool moment I think.

Not even sure how to respond to that, something like have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years?

My 11 y/o son continues to marvel at the reactions of other kids when they see the car. It's as if they hold him to a higher level because he was seen climbing out of "Bumblebee".

Just last night there was a young kid helping his mom unload groceries. I dropped off my son while he waited for me to back my car into my garage, next to their garage. My son told me the kid's jaw was dropped and he just stared at my son in awe. After I backed into the garage, the kid snuck a peek inside the garage.

As we were walking away, I hear the kid tell his mom, "Did you see that, mom? That kid gets to ride in Bumblebee!". My son was grinning ear to ear.

Especially considering that each film could have doubled as a 2 hour GM commercial..

And the first one was HUGE for the Camaro in terms of advertising.

I had seen some press release photos of the Camaro concept and was excited.

But it was the scene where Bumblebee changed from the '76 to the 2010 Camaro that made me cream my shorts and solidly plant that Camaro as my dream car.

And now I own it.........

<tear>........

Early June the Skittle Brigade (Ladybugsmom, Lady Bumblbee and us) did a trip to Tahoe. On the way home, Lady Bumblbee had to make a trip to California, so it was just us two Camaros. We stopped to fuel, and we were asked "Where's Bumblebee?"

And our answer was "We left him in California." The guy was like, "Seriously?" It was pretty good...

I'm going to have to check out ride tones

Unfortunately they went out of business and also shut down the website to convert the .mp3's to the file format for the system. I have maybe 2 other files I can add, but I would need another remote. I only have a 4 channel now.
This is what I have.

Transforms into robot
Transforms back into the car
Bumblebee says, "I wish to stay with the boy."
Lastly, Optumis says, "Autobots...Roll Out".

I'll see if I can get a small clip of the 4 sounds.
