    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. :)

    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

    Hmm. I like the redesigned elements, but I refuse outright to buy yet another Bumblebee toy unless it's a complete new mould.
    Looks a lot more like a car than a giant robot to me.
    I'd hardly say the logos are ALL OVER it.

    Why are you reading his Twitter?[/QUOTE]

    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? :inquisiti

    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

    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.

    Is that The Recently Announced Camaro Z28 I see :drool: 

    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.

    Assuming the camro is rear wheel drive then the spoiler forces said rear wheels on to the surface increasing grip and resulting in more traction/less wheelspin.

    Agreed.

    I never got that complaint. So just because you see an expensive car, it MUST be an alien robot? I know TF fans like to jump to conclusions, but that's a touch on the extreme. ;) 

    'Cuz it's cool.

    Although really a rear spoiler would logically do the same, or similar to a front one, mounted as it is.

    The windows are still the same they just look different because the windows are down, and you can see the "B pillar".

    Because the car is rear wheel drive you want down force on the drive wheels. Now if the car was front wheel drive then you would want it in the front. For example look at Indy Cars (actually have both front and rear), NASCAR cars, INHRA Drag cars, etc. all have rear wings on the rear to create down force on the back of the car. :D 

    Edit: Fort Max beat me to it :thumb

    It's a car, what more do you want? A sign saying "not a robot" on it?

    You mean the four tiny silver Autobot sigils on his wheels that can't been seen unless it's a relatively close shot of the car (and of the wheels for some reason)? Or the small silver Autobot symbols between his front wheel arch and the doors that looks like a car logo badge?

    Dude. They're not "all over him" and it's certainly less conspicuous than a giant red Autobot symbol in the context of these movies.

    The Ford Focus is uncool, though.
