Hold on a minute how comes they are using cars other than GM cars for the alt modes.
Bumblbee was made into a heartless camaro, instead of a friendly bubbly VW beetle becuase of the licensing issues. And old american cars ditch function for character, so they should of picked a car with character. Also if bumblbee can change into anything in a second, why is he changing into an old camaro. The thing is, classic cars are rare, so bumblbee beeing one isn't very subtle, neither is that horrible corvette, I can not beleive the word concept is next to it.
If they are now using european cars, they should use an English Range Rover Evoque, the victoria Beckham one at that [never thought I'd say that]. Alot of people love classic American cars, but even more prefer European & Japanese styling, it' s more dynamic and much more functional. Also classic cars are also hated, and that's why there are so many shelf warmers. I've never liked Bumblbee becuase I was never a fan of porsches, and a fat porsche isn't my idea of a dream car compared to a countach. But GM cars have alot of sub companies, so they need to use cars that people are familiar with, and a camaro isn't that world wide spread, but the styling isn't bad. But using an old camaro doesn't make sense.
The Yayron is a step in the right dircetion, but if you want a robot that looks good you need to pick a car that has parts that will enhance its looks. An old american car doesn't have parts that look like they belong on a robot, but an English 4x4 off Roader does. Classic cars are a dumb idea, not only are they rare and therefore not great disguises, they also don't look good as robots, and they are not familar with kids, as us collectors aren't important so I'm told. [even though kids don't care about transformers like we did back in the day]
THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE !!
