Diehard Transformers fans take note: Chevrolet is reportedly planning to launch a limited edition Bumblebee Camaro to capitalize on the upcoming flick, Revenge of the Fallen. We're sure none of you saw that coming, right? The car, available with either V6 or V8 power, will be available for order June 1 and the first cars are scheduled to roll down the assembly line on the 24th of that month, which, not coincidentally, is the same day the movie is scheduled for released in the U.S.
Unfortunately, we don't have any images of the new Bumblebee package to show off or pricing information, but rumor has it that the car will be painted up in the same Rally Yellow that's available on other Camaros – importantly, that's not the darker color that's featured in the movies – set off by black racing stripes, of course. To help set the Bumblebee edition apart from its siblings, GM will equip the car with Transformers badging on the wheel centers and sill plates along with an embroidered emblem on the console inside. Thanks for the tip, Jay!

Especially since you'll just be able to buy a knockoff kit that looks the same as this for next to nothing a few months later.

This is pathetic. If you're going to do a brand job, don't half-ass it.
GM hasn't learned anything, it seems.

Memo to GM Marketing: 12-to-15-year-olds don't buy cars.

G-D Damn PJ hit it on the head. I definately never thought they would do this...I guess at this point as a Detroit Car company...your going to try and sell every idea to make as much profit as possible...I think this is just the beginning

GM does what it does best. Capitalize from the gullible public.

If it doesn't actually transform into a kickass robot, it's going to be an epic fail.
