    Thanks to Megan-Fox.net and to Waveride of the 2005 Boards, we now have a close look at the Brand New Autobot Bumblebee of Transformers 3.

    Bumblebee's vehicle mode may not look like a Convertible in TF3, but he had certainly undergone some new modifications.

    1) A Carbon fiber Splitter on top of the roof of the new Camaro.

    2) New Side-Windows. (They are more "Pointy" than previous versions)

    3) New set of Rims previously unseen in Movie 1 and 2.

    4) New, much more open cut to keep the brakes of the Rear Tires cool.

    5) Black Stripes are now also on the roof of the car and carry a completely new design.

    6) New Side-Skirts.

    7) Newly added Front Splitter.

    8) Redesigned Fog Lights with a Guard.

    9) Overall Streamlined Design mimicking Chevrolet Stingray Concept (Sideswipe) with Carbon fiber Side Mirrors.

    And........... Here's the best bit...
    10) A Rear Carbon fiber Spoiler.

    Click on the Thumbnail Images to view the enlarge versions.

    See if you can spot more new features...

    ... Not that we can see much besides the rims, because she was more interested in pictures of herself, than the car.

    I wonder if Hasbro will do some remoulding to represent this or create an entirely new mould.

    My money's on the remoulds. They're too minor changes to warrent an entirely new mould being created.

    Yeah, I have to say if those are the only images, people might be jumping the gun a bit.

    Wow, I guess I'm a transformers fan who doesn't give a shit about cars because reading this news story is exciting as reading Robert Pattinson's Twitter.

    I saw that pic of Megan some days back and It never even crossed my mind to see if the BB was the new body design type.

    Pity his lost the hood stripes - it would ruin the chest of the robot mode if he has lost them.

    It's Bumblebee. Him and Prime are the cash cows. I'd bet a large amount of money on a new mold.

    Why are you reading his Twitter?

    Does he have a twitter? :rolleyes:  These car details seem so minor - totally lost on me. Hope Prime gets a new mold with a giant trailer that makes him bigger and more awesomesauce!

    I uploaded the pictures on Flickr since that site take ages and it's just terribly put together. I don't know what the hell you guys are looking at but the hood stripes are still there...

    Maybe it'll grow on me but I'm not really liking this. The placement of the stripes and the rear spoiler kind of detract (IMO) from the relatively powerful, heroic lines of the previous TF1 & ROTF Camaro models. But I'll give it a chance.

    I'm not liking these stupid changes for sake of changes. ROTF were subtle enough to not bother me but now movie 3 and he changes his look again without explanation while the other bots stay the same? My favorite look for him was in part 2, it's like he went back to some of the TF1 look, now it looks way too much like this car:
