As I looked at the pics of the Datsun on set I had a few different thoughts come to mind as to why it's there.

I think Sam is trying to impress the hot blonde at his work (Rosie). On his way to work he yells at Bumblebee like he did in the start of ROTF telling him not to do anything crazy, stupid etc he's trying to impress this girl.

Bumblebee clearly not taking Sam's crap scans this Datsun. Sam brags about how awesome his car is to Rosie all day at work. Once the work day is over this P.O.S Datsun pulls up putting Sam in a pretty funny spot trying to explain his Datsun to Rosie.

I may be way off but it sounded logical and kind of funny.

 

loving it, loving it

 

That idea i like... And it would be a very good reason to have him change modes again.....

 

That is awesome!!!... and just to add to that maybe he's also mad that he and Mikaela broke up.

 

but its bay... is it really gonna be that simple?? lol


i deff like it and would be fine if thats how it ends up being somthing along those lines.

 

It does look like Bumblebee is intentionally causing problems for Sam bec. of Sam's new girlfriend. Bumblebee does not seem to like Sam's new girlfriend. I hope Bumblebee does not have a crush on Sam bec. gay Transformers could be weird. It does seem that Bumblebee refuses to start which upsets Sam a lot.

 

That would be more reasons for Hasbro to make more toys....OF BUMBLE BEE!

 

I thought bay said no dorky comedy?

 

Yeah thats why BB had no prob. with Mikaela in the first movie and started to act up with the other girl in ROTF.. I dont know how u got this gay thing. But i REALLY doubt that.....

 

I don't think Bumblebee is gay >.>, even though that's not a bad thing. Anyways ya, I think BB is mad about his new GF

 

That's actually pretty funny, Bumblebee messing with Sam by returning to a crappy alt. mode. I like it.

Uh, the other girl was a Decepticon and Bumblebee clearly knew about it considering the songs he was trying to ues to warn Sam (like "she's a Superfreak").

 

That would be interesting... if BB is mad about the breakup between Sam and Mikaela, and doesn't like Sam's new girlfriend, so he decides to temporarily downgrade into a crappy Datsun.

Still, at this point in time, who knows if the Datsun is really BB or if it's just a crap car that Sam ended up getting in order to drive around with BB away on an Autobot mission.

 

Maybe Bumblebee needs Sam on an important mission so Bumblebee is against the idea of Sam using the time for dating. Sam probably will insist on continuing with his date so his new girlfriend will get dragged into the conflict with the Decepticons.

 

I was thinking it could be a decoy B, but I think your idea is much better.

 

I just figured out TF3.

It's a total reboot within the same trilogy.

whoa

 

Or it is just a unique way to remember the first film. I'll never forget my Transformers(2007) experience.

Your theory would be hilarious yet intriguing. He didn't like how Sam was technically cheating on Mikaela with the Pretender in the 2nd film. This would push it, hahaha!

 

IF this doesn't explain it, I don't know what will.
