    I meant "Shaped", not "based on the real thing". :) 

    Take a look at this link I found. The resemblance is remarkable.

    I foundout that the reason is Mattel Hot Wheels Rights For The Corvette Stingray Concept. I think there's a pic of it above.

    :)

    not sure if this has been mentioned, but the red ferrari is in front, he's even in front of bumblebee, i think whoever this is they're going to be a high ranking autobot.

    also, that man who gets into bumblebee does look like it could be sam, who else would get in bumblebee, just not sure why he got into the passenger seat

    While I was really hoping Sideswipe wasn't going convertible...I will give the benefit of the doubt, because of how much I like Movie Sideswipe.

    hang on every one..... i've just watched the video again and seen something weird..... no one was driving sideswipe.

    EDIT: no, wait, it's OK, iv'e just seen the top of the mans head. not exactly a good thing though, this means Transformers aren't real, Nooooooooooooo.

    I thought that too as I imagined all the nerd rage that would create :D 

    Who f*cking cares about Jolt??? Seriously? Some major complaints have been addressed only to be met with only more complaints...I'm not surprised but man it's f*%$ing sad.

    Explain what, that he's a convertible now? They probably wont. It's a visual mod to the car, not really a major plot twist.

    Maybe transformers just like to change things up on their alts from time to time. Much like how people like to wear their hair differently some days.

    No one so much as blinked when Bumblebee comes rolling along with a new fascia and paint job in the interim between the last two films, there is really no need to explain this either. That is, aside from the "let's have reason to sell more toys" excuse.

    Isn't Bumblebee rumored to become a convertible as well?

    I saw this whole Sideswipe/convertable thing a few days before the first announcement was posted a few days prior and forgot to post. (Sigh)

    We're seeing alot of Sideswipe lately, maybe he'll play a larger role in TF3? Maybe he'll be among the "Main robots", like The Twins, Bumblebee, and Wheelie were in ROTF.

    I hope Sideswipe has a bigger role in this one as well. He was under utilized for being so cool in ROTF. I'm also hoping the Ferrari is either Wheeljack or Hot Rod.
