Transformers Some News *Spoilers*

The Camaro variants belong to the lead character (Sam), who doesn’t know that his beloved car is, actually, a Transformer (Autobot) named Bumblebee.

We’ll see Sam finding & buying this car with his father, and follow him as he comes to realize there’s more to this humble vehicle than meets the eye. Said revelation will involve Sam in a battle between Autobots and Decepticons for possession of the precious Energon Cube – an object of unknown origin whose life force created the Autobots. The Energon Cube has been “lost to the limitless stars”, and arrives…by simple, elegant chance…here on Earth.

Bumblebee eventually has it out with a Decepticon named Brawl (the black police car linked below).

The Osprey aircraft are specified in a sequence set in Qatar, in which the U.S. military (ground troops, aerial) takes on a Decepticon named Skroponok in an epic battle.

Here’s another tidbit from a source, about Vortex – a transforming helicopter: “When the chopper lands in the film, it will have a CG cockpit that will have an entire crew inside of it. It will flicker out revealing that the chopper is, in fact empty - and "Vortex" will transform for the first time.”

Finally, I’m guessing the tank pictures are Devastator – a Tank Decepticon who wreaks havoc in the big-ass giant robot brawl late in the film

OH! For those Talkbackers wondering about Megatron in this movie...Megatron is a JET in this draft of the script. There are indications that certain Transformers' names and/or "identities" may have/might still change, so I suppose there's a chance this might not stick. And, Optimus is a truck.

Wow, Ok. All my fears are at ease.

I'm disappointed with the change of Bumblebee.

Bumblee is NOT a ***** wagon.

Bumblebee isn't a camaro though. He's not that sleek and souped up looking.

Doc Ock isn't controlled by his tentacles either but movies are movies
they needed a car that would actually look like something a teen would want,A camaro is an affordble sports car that a teen would want,they couldn't use a VW anyway.

Hmmm... so is Sam's Dad Spike?

"A teen would want" A Camaro? In NYC at least, I don't know anybody but Andrew Dice Clay type guidos that were ever into Camaros. They should put a huge IROC emblem covering up the entire back window and call it a day.

This decision will be a hit in Bensenhurst Brooklyn. Everyone else is going to laugh at it and roll their eyes.

Very stereotyping there,many teens love muscle cars,it's no necessarily area specific

Understood. I was only speaking for my area. And even that I don't mean is absolute.

But for the most part pretty much this guy would be the only guy caught dead driving a Camaro.

Maybe this kid is the exception to the rule of street racer types.it's like in my country footballers drive Ferrari's and Aston's which brings their image down in some ppl's eyes but not everyone driving them is an austentatious type

I'm just worried that we may not see the greatness of Soundwave.....

I hope that "Vortex" will change into soundwave, since the names are supposely temp..

Why did they need a car a teen would want though? I think its more interesting if Bumblebee is a car the teen wouldn't expect to want at first. Especially since a Beetle VW is cheap and affordable.

Bumblebee never really was a muscle car. He's like the chubby little brother of the Transformers.

"Ah Dad, I don't want a Beetle VW!"

"It's cheap and affordable, quit yer whining!"

Well why not have the car be a model that the kid actually wants ? i mean i honestly don't see the harm in this,it's like they took Bumblebee and added a bit of hot rod in with him

 

[TheVileOne]

Because that's not interesting to me. It's interesting to me if Bumblebee is a car that the type of car he kind of loathes and doesn't care for.

Thing is Hot Rod are the last words I would use to describe Bumblebee.

Oh well if it isn't of interest to you then not much i can say,it seems as if he buys an old broken down camaro and builds it up into the more flashy one we see which will develop their relationship nicely IMO

Thing is Hot Rod are the last words I would use to describe Bumblebee

I think they perhaps took the two characters and put them together,perhahs the car will have Bumblebee's personality and Hot Rods more muscular looks

Seriously. I mean, when you're a teenager you want ANY car. My first car was a 6 year old Nissan Sentra. And I LOVED that car. I knew only one guy in high school who rode a muscle car... and he was, of course, the classic dumb "jock".... and, sadly, he really was an a**hole. Even his friends hated him.

Again, only the guy I linked to in my previous post would whine and insist that his daddy buy him a speed racer. On my block, guys like that get laughed at.

Things are probably different on the West Coast where Bay makes his home, I assume.

The car he buys is a rust bucket and the kid builds it up,he doesn't insist daddy buy im something flash

 

[Octoberist]

I don't see why Bumblebee being a Camero is a 'bad thing'.

I'm more worried about Megatron being a weird alien jet. This is nothing. At least, Bee is still yellow. I still think he will be portrayed as the younger members of the team. Who cares.

Right now, I'm just worried about the villains.

Yeah. If they do it right, that might be cool. Though it's a big "Christine" rip... or homage, depending on how well it's done.

I just can't see how he can "build it up" without realizing the thing is an alien. I mean, when he opens Bumblebee's hood, shouldn't he see Bumblebee's big head staring back at him?

According to Shadowboxing Megs has been a Jet in comics before,and im guessing they are using the Raptor stealth plane for him which is something never seen before

Maybe when he starts to try and modify it he finds out it's Bumblebee and they work together to restore him,like a bonding type thing
Im not saying it will work im just willing to give it a chance

 

[Octoberist]

So Megatron's a jet right. Let's that he still is...will Starscream be a jet too? How far advanced should Megatron be. I stil think he should (and he still could be) a tank. He has to be the bad ass vehicle of the group...

Starscream may be a chopper im not sure,i think the tank is Devastator
