Chevrolet Announces 2012 Transformers Special Edition Camaro

Autobot insignia should be in middle of steering wheel too.

the logo on the steering wheel WOULD be cool, but is it shown to be on the newer model cammaro anywere in the movies? I only saw the steering wheel on the old one. I wish that they would release a sideswipe, but seeing as how he's one of like, what was it, two or three of his kind on planet earth because he's so damn customized? IDK What I'm talking 'bout I'm like half asleep, but hey, I heard the sideswipe thing somewere....
now were was I.....

This sounds like fun, but I wonder if it's a new correct shade of yellow, or the previous not-quite-orange-enough shade. Also needs a body kit like Bee's; maybe the aftermarket will come through on that.

I hate GM for killing Pontiac, they could have made a Jazz version of the Solstice. We need a fist-shaking smiley.

The 'vette Sideswipe was based off of in ROTF was a one-off concept car, not a production model like Bumblebee. DOTM Sideswipe is some hideous bastardization of the concept 'vette. The chopped the roof and put a ricey spoiler on the bad.

Cool

Don't get me wrong, I'm keeping mine for probably the rest of my life, so selling isn't an issue. I just like that there are only around 1,500 of them and this is just adding to the total even though it's different.

Dude, its a new car. If you want a collectible car, invest in a 1969 Camaro or something around that time era.

While I agree with Rated X I'll also say that you can take solace in the fact that since yours is older than the 2012 special edition, it will likely hold value longer and better than the newest run. It won't be valued as much as the first limited edition 2007 run but let's face it, most folks getting this car aren't getting it for resale value, they are die-hard fans who want to get and keep a kick-ass tribute piece to an iconic franchise. It doesn't matter what year the car is, you roll by in "Bumblebee" and every fan-boy will want to be you and every fan-girl will want to jump in the back seat with you.


hmmmmm....hey, can I borrow your car Saturday night?

That's awesome.

Remember the Transformers Special Edition Camaro that was announced back in June? Back then we only had mock ups to drool over, now thanks to the Camaro5 forums and Faces of GM have images and video of the actual vehicle. The Transformers Special Edition Camaro is due to hit dealerships next month.

It’s the little details — like Cybertronian symbols spelling “Transformers” on the spoiler, Autobot logos on the wheel caps and front quarter panel and an awesome interior with black leather seats and bright yellow stitching — that give this Chevrolet extra attitude.

“When you see this car,” says Barry, “you’re not going to think it’s a car, you’re going to think it is Bumblebee… and you’re going to be looking around for the other Autobots. How cool is that?” Plus, if any Decepticons show up, you’ll be able to handle them

I would rather have that black 1959 Impala sitting behind the Camaro if I had a choice of cars. Camaros are cool, but since there are so many of them around, they are kind of played out. How come Pontiac never made a special edition Jazz Solstice ???
