General Motors' Transformers website has officially launched: AutobotsRollout.com. The website is essentially designed to showcase the GM products featured in the upcoming Transformers movie such as the Camaro (Bumblebee), Pontiac Solstice (Jazz), GMC Topkick pick-up truck (Ironhide) and the Hummer H2 (Ratchet) as well as some of the other vehicles used in various scenes (i.e. Sector Seven's vehicles).
AutobotsRollout.com has 4 primary sections ...
Autobot Profiles - Features profiles for Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet and Jazz. Each profile includes photos of the character from the movie as well as vehicle specific stats. Bumblebee's profile links back to chevyautobot.com which showcases the other Chevrolet product line as Autobots. Jazz's profile links back to Pontiac and Maxim's "Killer 3" promotion.
Media Dock - Features new wallpapers that sport each character's specific "logo" for their names as well as a group shot of the four Autobots minus Optimus Prime who is not a GM product. There's also 5 buddy icons featuring GM and Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Jazz.
Exclusive Footage - Features 5 new videos with a couple of new shots that we haven't seen yet. Requires you to enter your email address. The 5 videos are titled: "Exclusive New Movie Content", "The Biggest Picture", "Cars Pick Their Drivers", "A Look Under The Hood" (HOT!) and "Scorponok Attacks" (which is part of the video shown in the Sector Seven Mobile Command Center).
Email Infobot - Allows you to enter your email address to gain access to content on the website as well as spam from General Motors.

Oh man this is great stuff. Now we know why Bumblebee was chosen instead of the VW, and whoever questioned Bernie Mac's role in this movie needs to think again

That's why Bumblebee was one of the figures I picked up from Wal-Mart on Saturday: he pulled some ultrasonic stuff, fraked up all the rest of the figures except for Barricade.
Seriously though, this is pretty cool.

That's just classic. Bernie is the man.

In case you blinked:
Bonecrusher playing with the cars on the highway scooping them up to "clear a path". Gotta love how he hates everything, probably thinking "I hate these cars, to think I had to base myself into one of their likeness" *scoop scoop toss smash*

I'm sorry was that directed at me?
"In case you blinked:"

Might want to try using IE while playing the clips, and pause to let the clip fully load before playing the clip. Does wonders for me.
And lol I have yet to get a GMC spam. Maybe they are friendly towards Yahoo?
