    According to my local dealer, this is all aftermarket parts/decals. It is a kit sent to the dealers that they install. Its cool. but nothing one cant scrape together on thier own for a lot less

    Anyway, we bailed out GM, so I own how much of the company? So what can I get off in exchange for my investment?

    Agreed. Is that bumper available anywhere? 'Cause I thought this car was supposed to have it included.

    If the economy was better, I would probably be getting one of these.

    That's no way the official one, it had a special 4layer paintjob and special chrome doorhandles.
    This looks like a simple factory coat with the basics

    I would buy one if I had the $$$ too. The cool thing, though, is I saw a custom new Camaro here in Kernersville!!!!!!!!!! It was black and had a decepticon symbol where the autobot one is on this car. BEAUTIFUL! :drool:  Too bad I just saw it drive by as i was sitting at a stop light.

    I'm just not feeling it. All of those autobot logos seem tacky to me and it's missing the tf2 fascia and wheels. It probably doesn't have the hood with the monster scoop on it either. I'd rather buy a regular camaro and put a bee-otch air freshener on the rear mirror and call it bumblebee.

    It's the 1:1 scale Ak'Chuel Size class Hasbro's ringing in starting in 2010. It looks cool, but the price point will have prison sex with your wallet, and don't even get me started on trying to get the thing transformed by hand using the instructions provided..

    Yes, transform and drive you around, ahhh what a ride that would be!!:drool: 

    We saw one too, here in Clarksville,TN, we're a military town, so probably was a soldier, one very lucky soldier, but good for him! It went by so fast I didn't see Autobot logos, but it was still Bumblebee colors,stripes otherwise.:cool:

    Holden (who engineered this car, apparently) make very good muscle cars though. Very good cars of these sorts.

    I think the ROTF stuff might be available with a theoretical top-of-the line version of the Camaro.

    The Bumblebee edition GM are selling has the standard "rally yellow", not the special movie paint job. The four-layer (or whatever) paint job on the Bumblebee prop car costs more than the production Camaro itself, according to the builders of the Bumblebee robot prop on the DVD extras.

    As for door handles, I believe the prop Bumblebee car has fake door handles :D

    Holden designed the basic platform for GM---Zeta. They further developed a 4-door version into the Commodore. Chevy took it and made a 2-door version into the Camaro. I'd gladly take either version of the Zeta. :)

    If they're gonna offer it up as a kit, then I'd rather have a Red version and buy the kit for to make mine Cliffjumper.
