I went to the major GM Nationals car show in Carlisle, PA this past weekend and had the honor of seeing the concept convertible and the bumblebee from Transformers (original) in person. Here are a couple pics I got

I hope the Camaro convertible looks as good as the concept.

good to see they actually put exposed brake rotors and real wheels on bumble bee. i like the rear brake vents opened up also.

This makes me wonder more if the Bumblebee in TF2 is an actual Camaro, not a Saleen'd GTO...

Well............this is definately one of the orginal Bumblebees, of which there are 2 or 3 i think???? Sooo they could have easily modded the others cars and not this one. I do remember when the cars were pulled from the show schedules specifically to begin shooting the 2nd movie. But I hope you are right!!!!!!!

Nice pictures. Did you happen to take any pictures of the GM peformance 4th gen next to Bumblebee?

RLHMARINES · 06-24-2008, 12:34 AM

This bumble bee is not a converted GTO to Camaro by Saleen. I think this is the red fiberglass push car from the show display that was just repainted to be bumble bee while the real movie car is off shooting the new movie. The wheels on this bumble bee are real not simulated alloy hub caps. Just my observation, i could be wrong.

RLHMARINES · 06-24-2008, 12:38 AM

Compare the concept convertible's front wheel clearance to the concept bumble bee's wheel clearance from these photo's. The bumble bee has the look of a car with no engine.

And notice how the window are tinted reaaaaaallllly dark? ...so you can't see the unfinished interior?

And, I can't believe that GMPP 4th gen is there!!! I thought that car was destroyed!!! I WANT IT!!! I WANT IT!!!! Can I buy it from you GM? Seriously, I'll work out a way to make payments...hehe....I love that 4th Gen....I wish I could see it in person. Those 1/4's are beautiful!

You're half-right...if I've got my facts straight.

This was a fiberglass silver car, that was painted bumblebee's color, and given the correct lights, and rims, etc.

Again, that's if I remember what I read from Scott correctly........

I have to agree. I love that 4th gen. And I love everything they have done to it the 1/4s, rear spoiler, all aluminum 427. Its just a sick car that I would love to own.

yep thats the silver push pull car that was repainted to look like bumblebee. The Penske 4th gen. car will never be destroyed, by GM anyway.

GM brought a whole bunch of nice cars. Really nice examples of Impala's along with some Camaro's.

RLHMARINES · 06-24-2008, 10:54 PM

is this push car the original red push car that debut at the L.A. autoshow, i did not know about a silver push car.

That's a mighty FINE looking front end. Much better than before his disfigurement.
