Once again the set of the upcoming Transformers film has been infiltrated, and this time a full-body pic of Bumblebee laying
prostrate supine flat on his back made it off the lot. It's a perfect view to analyze the Autobot's form and pick out pieces parts from the Chevrolet Camaro concept. The most obvious is Bumblebee's chest plate, which appears to made out of the corners of the Camaro concept's front bumper. Though many have panned the decision to base Bumblebee on the Camaro concept rather than the original Volkswagen Bug, at least he seems to retain that affable charm when bipedal that made him such a likeable 25-foot tall robot.

Wow, that guy looks a little more aggressive than the Bumblebee I watched back-in-the-day.
Either way, it would be cool to have one of these things in the family room. Can you imagine the props your kids would get... "Dude, you have a transformer???!!!"

So far looks great!!
Check out the garbage can near Bumblebee's Head.
Gives you a perspective of the its size.
Imagine, how tall Optimus will be.
Maybe 30 Feet tall possibly??

I just hope the movie doesn't reek too much of excessive advertising. I'm an admitted VW nut, and I'm actually kind of happy they're "updating" Bumblebee with something cutting-edge, but I don't want it to look like a Chevy commercial.

I think the better size scale is the guy's head next to bumblebee's right knee.
Kickin' Rad.

Not to pick nits, but "prostrate" means face-down. Face-up is "supine."

A camaro? Why?!
I wonder if they'll use an ordinary car (camry, accord). I want to see a Yaris in that movie! Probably not, but there are times when I wish my hyundai would transform.

I have a bad feeling that this movie is going to suck ass.

Here's a thought, maybe Bumblebee starts life out as a Camaro, but then in the movie gets damaged so bad that they rebuild him as a VW... hehe, that would be a huge laugh!

I guarantee this move will suck. All this pre-movie hype is just going to be a let down. The only thing that will be good about it is the CG and special effects. At least the kids will like it though.
MARK MY WORDS, THIS MOVIE WILL SUCK!!!

Can't be a UAW worker because he's actually working during down time.
