If thats the case how do you explain Bumblebee's classic body haveing such a new engine and a new exsust system????

Those arent standered on cars from 1977.And yeah maybe the car that BB scaned had been rebuilted by the owner with the new stuff but then why would the car still look like a hunk of $h*t???

Anybody willing to spend the money to change all those's parts would have givven it a new paint job.

Not necessarily. Maybe it was an on-going project and the owner had spent all the money on engine mods and nothing on the body. Or like many people do spend all their attention on the engine and forgot the bodywork till last. This makes sense since old BB had primer on his paint job. This suggests the original car he scanned was already being worked on.

Both cases can be true but why would a new exsust system kick up the amount of smoke BB had when Sam drove off from his parents house?

To me that meens that they have control over all their systems and therefor can not be the systems of the cars they scan.

I agree, i never for one second suspected that when they scan their alt modes, they are then limited by that cars performance. That would be silly.

The smoke was probably created by BB on purpose to help disguise himself better as an old junkheap. (even though he still looked pretty nifty)

Thank you.


Give me a break people. Coming up with all this complicated **** to explain away why, even though the TF's are more advanced than their alt modes, the cars they scanned coincidentally were also more advanced than normal.

Bumblebee isn't really that advanced under the hood. No, he just scanned a "sleeper". Right.


No, actually, think about this:

If they inherited that vehicle's fuel system, then how do they actually fuel up? Do their holograms get out and do it?

Starscream: "Uhh, yeah hail Megatron, but I'm kinda stuck here on the tarmack at the moment. I need these flesh creatures to fuel me up, so, probably gonna be a while."

Each Autobot: "Ah crap. No money to actually buy the gas. Riiiight. Probably should've ripped off some bank accounts when I scanned the world wide web."


Lame.

That would be my point.If he could do that on purpose for any reason then he did not have the systems of the car he scaned because a car with all that new equiptment would not have kicked up that kind of smoke.

QFT!

Heheh, that would make a funny comic parody: Prime: "autobots transform and ro....oh....****, forget that order, im out of diesel. Bumblebee, go to the nearest gas station and pick up a few gallons of gas, just enough to get me back to the station and fill up. THEN we can ROLL OUT AND KICK MEGATRONS ASS!"

hehe

you guys think up the most complex crap. The smopke was used as a "movie edit" to show the Camaro as junk, ie: blowing smoke, the rust, and faded paint. And the smoke is "there" because both the piston rings and the oiler ring are shot. It was only showed once in the movie at that time to show how Ron was cheep. Damn, it is just a movie guys..... And that was no sleeper either. It was a standard 350 cid with a 2 bolt main. Actually if you want to get technical it is a 347 cid. The ebay auction for it was very well written up.

JUST A MOVIE GUYS, DON'T OVER-ANALIZE IT
