    Hi everyone. I haven't seen this posted here, but please forgive me if it's already been mentioned, or if I've posted it in the wrong place.

    I found this in a local newspaper The Star/Courier

    It says that the camaro appeared on the 29th of june at the 'Meadows Tesco' in Sandhurst.
    It's not far from here, and I had no idea it was there until today :banghead: 
    Anyway, it said at the end 'Its appearance was part of a tour where the Bumblebee car has been visiting Tesco stores up and down the country'
    So if anyone know's where it might be next, i'd love to know :D 

    I doubt it was one of the cars actually used in the filming of the movie. I don't even know if it's an official promotion for the movie, but I thought I should post it anyway.

    I thought that lol.
    Wonder when he acquired the 'Transformers' logo on his side, too.

    I didn't think it would be a screen 'Bee - Mostly because of the condition the camaro's in.
    There was one in london at the Film and Comic Con in 2007, wasn't there? Could this be the same one (I wanted to go and see it, but couldn't :(  )

    Looks pretty similar to the one I saw at the Activision booth at the London expo a few months ago.

    That didn't have a Transformers logo on the side though.

    Thanks for the picture, Takara_Destron. It may be the same one.
    The Transformers logo could have been added since then for promotion of the film.
    Or it could just be that someone's decided to take their camaro, stick 'Transformers' on the side and drive it to Tesco :p 
    Wish I could have seen it, though.
