Remember Bumblebee (oh sure, Bumblebee - we know this is a dumb question, but who remembers that kinda shit)? Well, here's a pic of the new Bumblebee. You know, that transformer or, more precisely, that "autobot" that was an American sports car of some sort. Dig the pic before it's yanked down again by the people who want you to want to feel like it's a sneak. The film opens next summer and is directed by the slick doorknob, Michael Bay. Any chance their going to bring back that boombox fella?
Update, photo added

Another Update: According to michaelbay.com admin "Nelson", When asked about it, Michael Bay said "That is our non shootable - just scale reference - totally undetailed robot. It's like shooting a plastic toy compaired to the total c-g model from ILM."
ANOTHER UPDATE: Guess what?! Because of all the "leaks", the studios had to release a teaser. Check out the TRANSFORMERS TRAILER HERE!!

if by "american sports car" you mean "Volkswagen Beetle," then you're correct.

you can't make a live action transformers and have them look exactly like they did in the cartoon version... it has to be somewhat believable when the damn things transform from car to robot... it's a bit more of a difficult task... think about it.

Ok, that Bumblebee doe'sn't look the same, but that he's not even a VW that's a big mistake in my opinnion.

u ever think that some car manufacturer has some influence to not promote volkswagon. u think maybe the producers asked for some money and VW said no so they said F-U we'll change the make of bubblebee. too bad politics is involved
-they screwed up the movie. i saw trailers with robots ive never seen before. big mistake.
