That's the actual Bumblebee that appeared in the movie. He was used in the scene where the Sector Seven guys transported him back to their base.

Isn't that the Bumblebee that was used at the premiere of the movie back in late June?

by **bumblebee77** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 9:16 am

Damn I wish I still lived there. I'd kill to get a picture of my car parked next to him.

by **SnipeShade** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 9:59 pm

:O I've got pictures.... *uploading on photobucket*

Here's a preview!? :DANCE:

lol! I purposely uploaded these first. Hopefully you all won't mind the super detailed pictures I will be showing. XD;; I took them in mind of somebody wanting to make a badass costume of him.

*hint hint* :-?

hehe

Should I just post them all here? o.o (It'd be 800x600 res. pictures)

I figured.

Personally I didnt like that scene at all, it was far too obvious that it was a real life model and not a cgi model.

Who wouldn't love to guard Bumblebee? And yeah, it was painfully obvious every time they used that prop.

by **SnipeShade** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 10:37 pm

lol, actually there WAS a guard there. He looked bored of BB, and was more interested in watching the people who were going "WOAH!!!" hehe.

oooook..... next detail pictures.

Sadly no! : ( There was only a bored guard and people oogling the BB.

It was on the property of the West Hollywood mall, so it was basically treated as a gaurded mall decoration. XD

hahaha too funny, i have that same exact jacket. i live like 5 mins away from over there, i stay shopping at that best buy and target in that plaza. i gotta get up there and check BB out before they take him down.

by **SnipeShade** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 11:28 pm

well ya got till sunday!

And it took me longer to get there. XD It was atleast 30 mins (?) cuz of the stupid traffic. x3

by **g05** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 2:53 am

i don't like how he's just out in the open near the street. i've seen too many accidents(usually do to drunk drivers) where cars jumps the sidewalk and crashes into a building. hopefully that doesn't happen while BB is there.
