Another famous movie car. I don't think that will change any time soon. Happens to me every time I drive it.

I've had lots of people ask me if my car transforms, acting like they're incredibly witty to think of that question, but no little kids saying "hey, Bumblebee!" yet. Being solid IBM is probably a big part of that.

lol... same here... I just laugh and say no, pretending that it was funny.

As long as they don't ask you if you're a Transformer....

I've had it quite a few times. Doesn't bother me at all. If you see the smile on the kids face when they say that...I mean come on how could you be annoyed? The ones that annoy me are the idiots that think they are clever when they ask "does your car transform!?"

It happens to us all the time but we don't mind as we are Transformer fans... funny when it's kids, not so funny when it's drunk rednecks...

We went ahead and bought aftermarket Autobot logos for the car, and ordered personalized plates as well, both of which can be taken off later if we get sick of it, lol.

The funniest time was a day or two after taking delivery we were at a resturant and the cooks came out of the kitchen and were standing in the dining room talking in very rapid/excited spanish while pointing at the car... the only word we understood was TRANSFORMER !!!! Funny thing is our car is cyber grey.

Mine's a Automatic Yellow 2SS/RS. I dropped the wife off at work (Bass Pro Shop), and as I start driving off, I see these 2 kids jumping up and down pointing at the car. I stopped, threw her in reverse and asked them if they wanted to sit in it. They were extremely excited and their mom & dad took pictures of them

I'm still waiting to get one kid asking if bumblebee will transform or something and my reply will be "Well, Bumblebee is a little shy right now, but if you ask, maybe he'll start his engine for you." and when the kid asks, click auto-start

I'm just dying to do that! I love kids & I love how much joy they get out of seeing their "Heroes" in real life.

I can't imagine it would be any different then any other movie/TV car... ie KITT from Knight Rider... the 80's one, not that crapy mustang remake...

CamaroCrazy7 · 08-20-2009, 05:20 PM

when im at work almost all the customers say "look its bumblebee"

slick rick · 08-20-2009, 05:23 PM

1. Doesn't bother me, I like it.
2. It has happened to me twice. I was parked and a car with kids passed by and a little girl stuck out her head to ask "Is that Bumblesee?" and another time a kid asked "Can it transform?" My car is black.

Laserjen · 08-20-2009, 05:25 PM

The first day I got my car I pulled in my driveway and a neighborhood kid (probably around 10 or so) yelled "holy crap, it's bumblebee"...and my car is black
