The Chevrolet Camaro Concept will star in the forthcoming “Transformers” movie, which is due for release on July 4th, 2007 (07-04-07). The film — which was first announced last year — is a collaboration between Paramount, DreamWorks, and Hasbro. Apparently, “Bumblebee” is going to start out as a 1970s Camaro, and then be rebuilt as a 2008/2009 Camaro. Meanwhile, “Starscream” is going to be an F-22 Raptor, and “Optimus Prime” is going to be a fire truck. Judging by the license plate on the new Camaro, tuner Saleen also has involvement with the project. A Saleen Mustang police car will also appear in the film. Full image gallery after the jump…

Freakin sweeeeet.

/super glad im not the only transformers nut here.
//Optimus as anything other than a cabover pete is blasphemy!

[Chad-1stGen]

Cool about the Camaro, lame about Optimus...

[wantahertzdonut]

Yeah the firetruck thing is the lamest move ever. What a way to ruin one of the most iconic toys of my generation...

“Bumblebee” is going to start out as a 1970s Camaro, and then be rebuilt as a 2008/2009 Camaro.

First off, wasn't Bumblebee a Beetle? And aside from that, being "rebuilt" as a new Camaro...does that mean they're blowing up a 1970's Camaro for the shoot? Not cool...

[68Formula]

... being "rebuilt" as a new Camaro...does that mean they're blowing up a 1970's Camaro for the shoot? Not cool...

Don't worry, they rebuild it on "Wrecks to Riches.":lmao:

Kidding aside, yeah I hate when they do that!

[6'9"Witha69]

//Optimus as anything other than a cabover pete is blasphemy!
AND, I hear he will be purple!!


What a way to ruin one of the most iconic toys of my generation...
No kidding. I grew up on that show!

[6'9"Witha69]

does that mean they're blowing up a 1970's Camaro for the shoot? Not cool...If it helps, it doesn't look in great shape to begin with. Still not cool though.

[TonyL]

Sounds like the older camaro will be "retrofit" at the autobot base into the new camaro.

The thing is Bumblebee is supposed to be the "runt" of the autobots. he should be a bug, or a scion or something along those lines. This roll is better for Traxx (a vette) or Sideswipe but mostly Sunstreaker, the YELLOW lambo. That would have been the most logical choice.

Not sure if I approve of "car" decepticons also. Alot of people hate that Michael Bay is directing this movie. Watch the action in "The Island" and tell me that it will suck.

[BuddyP]

I thought Optomis was a Freightliner? I have him stashed away somewhere! I heard about this the other day, sounds cool to me.... but those were a hit in my day haha!

[BlazerSpeed]

yeah...Optimus Prime will always be a cab over, with the trailer being the mobile command center. I'm not sure though, but it seems like this might not be our Transformers that some of us here *cough...'80s...cough* were born and raised on. I think this is based on the newer Anime version called Transformers Armada. no Dino-bots, no Construct-icons, missing alot of good characters. Two things...if Ultra Magnus is in this, he had better be a friggin car carrier, and SoundWave better have the bad 80's computer voice. yeah right...thats just about as likely as the guy who did Cobra Commander's/Star Scream's voice doing it again in this movie :slap: Yeah I'm a nerd for this stuff too, meh can't be helped.

[TonyL]

the guy who did starscreams real voice died. So thats out. They are finding someone close though.

As far as I know, its all Generation 1 stuff, dinobots and all that stuff was Gen 2.

Actually prime is a cross between a pete and a freighliner.

[CAMAROBOY69]

Wow this is really cool. An actually Transformers movie. I grew up on the cartoons but really look forward to seeing real life cars transforming. Mabey seeing this movie might make me like the new Camaro.
Here are a ton of videos posted on another site.

[Boyd]

Please tell me that is not Queensryche doing the theme song for the movie. Please.

[TonyL]

dont forget the

Optimus test footage (fake) and is really ultra magnus's colors (http://www.blackfilm.com/20060512/features/transformertest_video.shtml) very impressive.

[CAMAROBOY69]

Dang that is cool Tony. Im getting childhood flashbacks all over again. I just wonder what ever happened to all my transformers toys. I even had the guy that was a radio and you could put little tapes inside his chest.The little tapes were even transformers. Every time I got all A' s on my report card I got a new transformer. I had all A's for a longgg time then I started getting money instead. :)

[TonyL]

I even had the guy that was a radio and you could put little tapes inside his chest.

was he blue or red? Soundwave was blue (and cooler) and blaster was red. I've been collecting them for years. I sold my intital collection and have regretted it ever since. This is the coolest "toy" i have (http://gofigureactionfigures.com/media/optimusprime(20thanniversary).jpg)

[CAMAROBOY69]

Mine was blue. I believe Optimus Prime was the Red semi truck. Yes I remember his name was Soundwave. Dang its been well over 19 years since I even saw those toys. Your link wasnt working.

[TonyL]

look at this (http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/toys/12_03/16_transformers20_optimus_prime.htm) then. Its optimus prime. 200 moving parts. about 18 inches tall and about 4 pounds.

[6'9"Witha69]

this (http://this/) no linky!

[CAMAROBOY69]

:ripped: :ripped::lmao: poor Tony.

[TonyL]

It works now. odd. it just went away.. goddarn transformers sites.

[Chad-1stGen]

Wow the music in that trailer is disgusting... /puke.

Where the hell is the robotic "robots in disguise" voice damnit!

[Chad-1stGen]

ha ha,

Listen to this:

http://www2.wi.net/~rkurer/toontracker/transformers.html

[TonyL]

oh. that "trailer" you guys are talking about is FAKE. The first shots, the ship and starscream, were part of someones thesis for a 3d modeling class. (as is the nissan dancing one)

Frett not. No official "screen shots or test footage" have ever been leaked. ever.

[Chad-1stGen]

Ha ha even better...
