I'll just get several hundred thousands of dollars.
Then I'll paint it red, and get a license plate saying "CLFJMPR".

As are the front and rear bumpers, hood and rims. I have to say i'm really disapointed. I heard a few months ago that they were going to release the Transformers edtion Camaro and was hopeing to get a replica of the movie car. Not a standard Camaro with a bunch of emblems and stickers that i can get off ebay. DOn't get me wrong, i'm happy we got a car based on a character in the TF universe, but i think they dropped the ball a little. This could have been so much more.

Your comment is completely uncalled for, there's nothing "small minded" about pointing out that the car is, in fact, the wrong color.

I don't believe that we, as fans, must sit back and mindlessly accept anything that is thrown our way. They could have done a better job and I have the right to criticize it just as much as you have the right to like it.

Ok all you small minded people saying that the yellow is off and the bumpers are off. Bumblebee is a Z28 Camaro not an SS. The pics clearly shows this. If you look up the upcoming Z28 model which will come out next year that should have the correct bumpers. And the color is easily duplicated with a tinted clear coat.

Bluavalanche Z71 roughly touched up on this.....Hi BTW,

The marketed LS and SS is more to character with the first movie Camaro concept which was...well a concept at that time. The SS model pictured here is roughly close to what is featured in ROTF, the only thing is the bumper which I believe isn't available on any models be it the SS or the 2 SS (Opening price on the Chevy website is $34,225) Though I haven't heard anything on the Z28, I know this current Camero is pretty much a snap shot of the previously featured Camaro concept......so for you die hards out there rest contently in knowing that you'll have a pretty good replica of the first movie Bumblebee and a great car to boot.

Alright I'm done,
Laters,

Hi there!

While I'd agree that this "Movie replica" is more in line with the concept Camaro we got in the first film, thats not what GM was advertising in all there adds for the "transform your summer" with adds of the new Camaro. That, and when it was orignaly anounced that GM would be selling a camaro replica, they used pics of the ROTF Bumble Bee Camaro. The same thats in your Sig. Lets be honest, other than some eblems and stickers, there's nothing that seperates this "Bumbe Bee Replica" apart from other 2010' camaro's on the road. The ROTF Camaro really set itself apart from the others. When you look at that one,you instantly know your look at Bee.

Hence the reason why GM is now owned by the American gov't and people. Well, I should say Part of the reason.

Were these the advertisements I saw on the back of Entertainment Weekly? The one's where they had the tag line

Joshua Vallse wrote:I recall GM putting up vids on their Chevy site going into further detail over the whole process of the Camaro....and how alot of what we see featured in Revenge of the Fallen was more "Concept" stuff, being the bumper and hood are in fact concept add on's, and therefore not available. The Closest you could come is adding on a Ground Trim package which get's you closer to the over all look, however the square trim around the fog lights are not included, and are rounded on all the available models being sold. So, generally, I'd say until GM releases these conceptual add on's, other then a custom job, there's no way to obtain a full on ROTF replica. But I'm not deterred, being I'm more then content with a TF1 movie replica of the Bee.

Joshua Vallse wrote:I'd say I'd agree with you that for those calling foul on the amount of decals and the "Transformers" logo trim on the hood and elsewhere....the best you could do is build your own at the Chevy website, and get what you want but pay less. Yes this car is nothing special outside of being yet another 2010 Camaro....except for the fact it's a 2010 CAMARO!!!!!


I mean, custom bumper or no custom bumper....this car is beautiful!!!!! I'm more then willing to settle for a 2010 Camaro any day and ride it up and down the PCH with the windows down blasting "Burning Down the House" then pouting over the concept bumper and hood. If the issue is $, like I said make your own, pay less, and add on to it at your leisure.

Joshua Vallse wrote: If the issue is ethics in false advertisement, then don't buy the Transformer package and just settle for the normal LS Camaro package. It's cheaper, your ethics are intact, and if you still feel bad pick another color scheme and name it Cliffjumper or anything else you want.

Joshua Vallse wrote:Personally, if I do decide to dump my savings into this awesome machine.....I would pick another color scheme just for the fact that the yellow black stripe scheme is easier noticed and you'll invite more attention to yourself then you might want, including young rent-a-thug attention who would see to vandalize your car. Also on the freeways, it would be easier the spot your car because of the color scheme verses if you aquired a more darker tone...but this is for people like me who suffer from heavy feet/gas syndrome. Heh .

The correct color and bumpers are picture below and reserved for the upcoming Z28 which has been delayed, but will be coming out. GM wants to compete against the Shelby mustangs ford is putting out.

BluavalancheZ71 wrote:My comment about the small minded was saying so what the car is not a perfect replica. I don't see any other movie cars that have been produced to this scale feel fortuate GM at least offering something. If your not happy about what is being offered righ now, there is nothing you can do about it, so why complain? Be happy that GM is at least considering doing this for the fans in their current financial state.

Do you understand the logical fallacy in this argument? Why anyone would think it's acceptable to tell someone else they should just be happy with whatever they're given is beyond me. This is obviously always false. We, as fans, have the right to question and criticize anything and everything we want. The argument "there is nothing you can do about it, so why complain?" is invalid. We are entitled to our opinions, there is no universal law that dictates as fans we must praise everything.

Joshua Vallse wrote: 5150 Cruiser,

I find nearly all of your points valid, and I noticed alot of my verbage seemed to be directed to you....I didn't mean it that way, though you are very open which is kind of refreshing here ha ha ha.

Joshua Vallse wrote:But I just can't see all the disheartening feelings towards this car.

Joshua Vallse wrote: However being GM isn't exactly financially sound, for them to release a particular model bumper just for one specific model of car verses all SS or SS2 models....just isn't sound. I can see why GM wouldn't do that, being it doesn't seem like a sound investment for a company thats in rough waters right now. Perhaps they're seeing how the reception to this car and package is before they expand on further packages and customization parts? .

Joshua Vallse wrote:Ah, FJ Cruiser....nice. I own a modest Mazda 3 being it saves me on gas. But I work her hard, even beaten a few Mustangs and Challengers. Both old and new. On these Cali freeways, it really isn't about speed then it is how good you can move that chassis ha ha ha ha Still she has some power behind here, which is why I'm reluctant to own this Camaro...I don't fully trust myself with it .

Do you realize that the Camaro line had been scheduled for shut-down and workers already given notice prior to TF2 and that it was this movie that brought the line back? Families have food on the table and roofs over their heads thanks to this car line and still some of you bitch about bumpers and detailing. You selfish brats! Damn few of you even desereve to breathe on this car let alone complain about it. The fact that our Constitution defends your right to behave so poorly and selfishly sickens me...

If they would've made it an exact replica on ROTF bee, then the upgrade would have cost much more than 995.
