The Chevrolet Camaro Concept will star in the forthcoming “Transformers” movie, which is due for release on July 4th, 2007 (07-04-07). The film — which was first announced last year — is a collaboration between Paramount, DreamWorks, and Hasbro. Apparently, “Bumblebee” is going to start out as a 1970s Camaro, and then be rebuilt as a 2008/2009 Camaro. Meanwhile, “Starscream” is going to be an F-22 Raptor, and “Optimus Prime” is going to be a fire truck. Judging by the license plate on the new Camaro, tuner Saleen also has involvement with the project. A Saleen Mustang police car will also appear in the film. Full image gallery after the jump…
Wow, the Camaro as Bumblebee? That’s going to be epic! 🚗💥
Why is Optimus Prime a fire truck? I thought he was always a semi-truck. 🤔
This sounds like a big ad for Chevrolet and Saleen. 😒
Can’t wait to see the 1970s Camaro transform—those cars were classics!
So excited for the movie! Hope they do justice to the Camaro. 🏎️🎬
Starscream as an F-22 Raptor? Interesting choice!
What happened to the Volkswagen Beetle? Bumblebee’s original form was so iconic!
Hope the movie has a good plot and not just focus on cars. 🤞
Does anyone know which Saleen Mustang model will be used?
July 4th release? Perfect for a blockbuster! 🇺🇸🎆
