Transformers 3 - Bumblebee Alternate Mode Makeover Revealed

We've got some breaking news, as Megan-Fox.net cooks up more images of Megan Fox and Bumblebee's new alternate mode. Most notably, Bumblebee now sports a spoiler - also the black stripes on the hood are more spread out. There are also several other differences which you can spot in the images below!

Well, that should end the "Is it real?" bit about the "treatment" seen earlier this year.
They wouldn't redesign and streamline Bumblebee into a newer model, if they were going back in time and changing his look.
Plus with Patrick Dempsey being in the cast as Mikaela's boss (which wasn't mentioned in the suck-o-rama story), this effectively kills off the whole G1/time travel angle.
So, so glad.
And now explains ILM's model redesign for Bumblebee. If they've changed him, I wonder what Prime will look like.
Can you even streamline a semi? (Yes, I know you can make certain mods, but you know what I mean.) Past a certain point, there's only so much you can do with a semi.
Bumblebee does look nice though. I do love the addition of the spoiler, I definitely love the black stripes on the roof (yay, my OCD will quit bugging me!) and I like how smooth his lines are.
However, I think yet another redesign is a bit much. I know they have to keep it updated, and sell cars for GM, but dang. The newest Bumblebee figure is the most accurate and faithful yet, and now they'll have to change it all over again? Geez. C'mon.

Oh,I thought when they decided on a makeover, it was gonna be drastic. BB still almost looks the same. Can't wait for Prime's new look.

Not bad; do you think they got the stripes idea from the Deluxe NEST Bumblebee? Or the other way around, somehow? 
The design looks like a cross between the 2009 concept from the first film and the 2010 from the second film...in other words; not much difference!
Except that spoiler...Not too sure on the rear spoiler...I can get used to it, but spoilers are their own adjectives in my view (they spoil the car).

I've been compiling a scale list (largest to smallest) of the Film Transformers based on; vehicle/alternate modes (with the best dimension data possible), as many official charts I could find & most crucially, the figures I actually own & desire! If anyone would like a bit of assistance in scale or would simply like a peek at the list, do say so! ^^
(Also been working on something big; I'm a writer, so that's a clue...

Makes sense. This is the Z-28 variation that was previously delayed. It was confirmed late last year for production in 2011. You can match the above with the below:
http://www.chevroletreports.com/blog/10 ... 28-is-a-go
The Z-28 is the supercharged 'top-of-the-line' Camaro.

Ooh, like the wing! The stripes really do look like the Alliance Bee stripes, nice. You could swap the doors from a regular Dlx Bee onto one of those and have a TF3 Bee, almost.
I wonder if they are using a real, production Camaro. The first movie used a custom Camaro body on a GTO chassis- tricky since the GTO is a unibody. Not sure about ROTF. Seems like it would be easier now to just modify actual Camaros.

The only reason why they're doing this is to sell more Bumblebee toys. Think about it, make his alt mode look a little different thats 50 new BB toys that can be made. The car looks nice, but i still say it looks like crap in yellow. Bumblebees colors never did and never will do justice to this car.

That's awesome, and real 'alien' looking. But I don't think it's sexy enough for a summer blockbuster.
Anyhow, spoilers are cool and all, but I don't think "Bumblebee got a new spoiler!!" should really count as a makeover. I put on a clean t shirt this morning, and no one's posting about that. And trust me, that clean t shirt is big, big news.

I'm not all into Megan Fox, but if I wanted a girl that looked latino, I'd date a litino. People that get deep tans start to look pretty nasty after afew years, their skin starts to look like an old baseball glove.

It has more to do with GM selling more Z-28s. The by-product of that is of course what you said-sell more BBs with a little Z-28 emblem.

I do not like Bumblebee's new spoiler or wheels. I just don't like the new modern, Asian styling on muscle cars. It turns me off, I prefer the more days gone by inspired styling on the Zeta platform Camaro.
Not saying that it's ugly, it's just my personal preference, have a 72 Chevelle and drive a 4th gen. Firebird every day. I'm just a little biased toward the old stuff.

Nah not Rodimus.
I mean, no one told you guys, this is the new design for Unicron......
BWAHAHAHA
As far as the car, meh.
I mean it's nice the Camaro actually got a spoiler this time verses that piece of scrap tin the threw on the later model. Even so, it's nothing ground shaking. All the other little details are so minor I really dont have a feeling one way or the other.
Megs looks like how the rest of us do when we get on the freeway during rush hour for work. We don't want to do it, but we need to get paid. Same concept, she really doesn't want to be doing this, but ya got ta earn a livin. Especially after Jonah Hex...I saw the trailer and just shook my head. It's like the western sequel to Van Helsing.
As far as the no makeup look, it looks like a driving course review. Meaning, Megs character might be doing some stunt driving in the upcoming sequel, which makes sense being she's a car buff and all. Nice to see the writer actually building on something set into Meg's character as established in the first film, verses the whinny girlfriend asking every ten second explosion if Sam loves her.
