Is the new Bumblebee a Z28? A modified SS? The new 2012 body style?

Rumors based off of absolutely no concrete info. Just some forum people wishing it was and others believing the baseless rumors.

I haven't noticed this before, but check out the placement of the fuel door.

It was like that on the first prototype.

Check out the last comment on this page from someone who would know about the car.

Bumblebee debate

Exactly.
The Camaro in T3 is a production Camaro with a few alterations )gas cap, mirrors, door handles) to keep the look of the concept car used in T1 and T2.

The Camaro in T1 is the build and look of the origional concept Camaro released to the public in '06. T2 uses the same car with hood, fascia, and interior alterations.

Wrong! It's the same car, just updated in each movie. Same Camaro body on a GTO chassis. Trust me, I am a Transformers fanatic.

Things that make you say "...hmmmmmmm......"


How could it be that the Transformers 3 cars are the same as Transformer 1 and 2 cars -- when one of the two TF 1 and 2 cars was just in Seattle for the PNWCC show?????

(all together now!) - -

"...Hmmmmmm....."



Paramount has one of the two originals - GM has the other.

Transformer 3 has Bumblebee Camaros built on production Camaros.

Do not assume that styling cues you see on TF3 cars will make it to production................

Should I say it again...?

I think I shall...fbodfather has spoken...nuff said

Hmm, and nobody believed me..until the Fbodfather spoke

Now the real question.. Is Michael Bay finally going to give Bumblebee a line or two in this film, he has been working hard in training those vocal chords to impress him at the line readings? There are rumors flying around that Bumblebee got to meet Miss Pink's Pink Camaro at an autoshow, has secretly fallen madly in love with her, and is trying to get Michael Bay to make a cameo in the new T3 film just so he can see her again?
