Transformers 3 Autobot Bumblebee Revealed

Posted on 05-07-2010 at 12:45 AM by NIBMRatchet under Transformers Movie (Just Movie) (All Transformers Movie News)
New-Bumblebee-6
Thanks to Megan-Fox.net 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.

... 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.
PrimulArchangel
Sounds cool but are there pictures ? im not seeing anything .. just those 2 small pics that dont really show anything
harrismonkey
Yeah, I have to say if those are the only images, people might be jumping the gun a bit.
Z.U.D.O.N
These pictures don't really show the new mods.. The focus is on Megan Fox.. I'm rather disappointed.. But anyway.. Still looking forward to more pics in the future..
TwinSpin
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.
bellpeppers
I liked the Autobot symbol on the wheels.
RedAlert Rescue
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.

brawl569

Does he have a twitter? 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!
Josh
pity about the racing stripes

i hate it when they're only on the roof and dont run the full length of the car

lovin the new rims tho
Waveride
Josh as in Josh Nizzi? ^
Waveride
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...









Josh
*looks at pics*

nice

i take my previous post back then cuz he doesnt look like i first envisioned

he looks AWESOME

has a "darker" kinda look to him

i dig it!
Bathawk
hmmm what's a "splitter"?
MythofBlackout
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.
Optimus Prime
I want to own one of those cars tricked out exactly like that.
Waveride
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:

FartRipper67
It looks like a ricer now.




As if that yellow Camaro wasn't annoying enough already. Meh.

Except that blinged out Mustang looks waaaaaaaay overdone. BB's changes are a bit more tasteful. Bumblebee is changed a lot because he's the number 1 car for the film to flog, as well as the main Autobot for the stars to interact with, so he's seen quite a lot.

Besides, we don't know what changes are in store for the other Autobots.

I would have been surprised in that case that you hadn't seen the new design for bee in TF3!

I put all the versions together for kicks in order of movies from top to bottom TF1-3 and the Autobot edition at the bottom. Looks to me like they mixed the design from TF with the one in ROTF and the Autobot edition plus a bit of that mustang concept. Confusing, i know!

Fort Max
Reading the list of changes made it sound like a horrible mess but it actually looks pretty cool.

Hasbro now of course have a reason to churn out a whole series of new bumblebee toys, not they needed one but still.

The black spoiler on the bottom of the front bumper. The spliter works like a wing for the front of the car. I helps to create front downforce.

All in all besides the new stripes. Everything looks functional. It makes it look more serious then the previouse versions. kinda fits with the idea that BB is the fastest of the Autobots on the ground. The car has that late TransAm series vibe to it. If it wasn't for the displacement restriction it would have fit.

Did anyone notice the car also looks to have been lowered about another inch? I really wonder why they left the shark fin antenna on top to.

Nah, they just redo the necessary parts and re-release that new deluxe Bumblebee mold that's about to come out.
Beastbot X
Honestly, except for the spoiler and the little gaps in front of the rear wheels, I don't really see anything else that they're saying is changed. 'A course, I'm not really a car aficionado.
Digilaut
Looks pretty good, except for the spoiler on the back. No need to douche-fy Bumblebee.
Jetfire5
BFD... Call me a hater, but these Bayverse "transforming robots" are not and will never be Transformers. No story, no charisma, no soul. Keep your superficial explosions and insipid sense of humor; I'll take the modern comic universe any day. BTW, why not make the movie about the bad guys - worked for Dark Knight...
Nyarlahotep
Not much of a disguise is it? Looks ridiculously tacky with all those autobot logos all over the damn thing.

Ugh, these movies will never go away, and they can never be undone...
mobie1325
Wow....a new bumblebee again!

Well I think you forgot to mention:

11. An autobot emblem between the frontwheels and the door...
hehehe

I wondered when we'd start seeing the old "These are not Transformers!!!" comments resurface in regards to the new movie news. The fandom never fails to be predictable.

Anyway, Bumblebee looks okay, doesn't bother me if they change him slightly again. I'm more interested in the slight changes they said there would be to Optimus.
asphalt
Unfortunately it still comes with the three features it has come with since the first version. A Bay, A Fox, and a Labeouf. If we could get it without those completely optional accessories it could be a nice car.
GAUGE0001
*sigh* anything to make and sell a new Camero I guess.

Don'cha just love Glorified Car Commercials?

Unliklley, too many parts of the car have been changed and will require remoulding. We've been told it's about 25% of the parts can be retooled before it become cost prohibitive and a whole new mould is made instead.

LOL! I so whole heartedly agree to this on an insane level. I really don't get why Megan Fox is popular. To me she is only half-way attractive, she can't act worth CRAP and to top it off she has NO facial expressions at all. Its always the same 'void of any thought' drone look.

I know thats not what you were discussing, but I just needed to say that out loud.

Gee, I just can't wait for the army of slightly tweaked deluxe class BumbleBee toys.
Feralstorm
I find it interesting that the new stripe pattern looks a lot like the 'NEST Alliance' version that was already out.

My thoughts as well, but I have to say that I really don't like the stripes. It's literally the only thing I don't like about the updated design.
RoccaDNB
Liking the changes. Definately.

But honestly, he's only the fastest autobot because they can only get GM cars.
Bee could be outraced by a Focus RS. Fortunately there's no ford in the bayverse.
If they got óne quick european car in there bumblebee would need a whole lot more then just some splitters and spoilers to remain the fastest 'bot.

Still though, nothing tops a design like making it racey =D
SPLIT LIP
Very nice.
Draven
Hmm. I like the redesigned elements, but I refuse outright to buy yet another Bumblebee toy unless it's a complete new mould.

I'd hardly say the logos are ALL OVER it.

I was just about to ask the same question.

I don't understand why people feelt the need to put a spoiler on the rear of the car. Isn't it only cosmetic if it's in the back. If people truly wanted the spoiler to serve its intended purpose, wouldn't they place it in the front?
Ceerad
Other than the new rear spoiler I think he actually looks less "blingy" than ROTF BB.
The thing on the roof is a standard GM radio/OnStar antenna.

Totally looks like the NEST repaint....lol
captain N
Wow! I Like. I like the update. Now i wood like a list of the Transformers that are in the movie.
SmokescreenGT
Not a bad update. I like the addition of the spoiler and the rims look cool. I'm just not too sure about the new position of the stripes.
ILoveDinobot
The spoiler is sexy.
Ace Convoy
Is that The Recently Announced Camaro Z28 I see

It's nice to see that they're finally using the production Camaro this time around. Now if they break something they'll probably have enough money to buy a spare.
