If there's one thing the paparazzi is good for, it's stalking the likes of Megan Fox. And while we could usually care less about the comings and goings of the Xbox crowd's favorite young starlet, occasionally she wanders into our neck of the interwebs by getting dangerously close to cars like the new Bumblebee Camaro. Fox is currently shooting the next installment of the explosion-rich Transformers saga, and was spotted parading around what appears to be the next iteration of everyone's favorite plucky Autobot.

Judging from the photos, the biggest changes to the car include a new stripe design that carries over onto the roof of the car, as well as a not-so-subtle rear wing. The next Bumblebee looks to retain its concept-car sideview mirrors, though a selection of carbon-fiber aero additions join the changes as well. If you look close, you can spot Autobot badges in all the right places, too.

Is this what the next Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee Edition will look like? Given how closely GM is tied into the franchise, it wouldn't surprise us.

Front end looks very Leno Camaro...

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/07/n...on-set-of-tf3/

 

I wonder how much, if any, of the design is related to the Z28. If it is I really hope the wing and stripe layout aren't part of the package.

 

I do hope for the side side gills.. or the side openings...

the front end looks good too.

 

I wouldn't be disappointed if the Z/28 was fairly close to that.

 

The wing is awful.

 

Did anyone notice how close the Grille is to the preproduction grille?

If you dont remember, the preproduction grill had to Horrozontal bars but wasnt as clean as this Bumble bee. This looks Good!

I love that they canned that scoop that cut the front to the cowl too.

the rear side vents are pretty cool too.


What I dont like...

Im not a fan of the Stripes, those Rims or that wing.

I like the 5th gen(though with those concept door handles this is probably still the 2004 GTO with concept body I bet), but these are the first pics where I look at the 5th gen with the same excitement as I do a 1969 done nicely for the street.

 

Those wheels are optional on the production car.

 

I even like the carbon fiber shark fin.

 

Is this a real production car?
Bumblebee in the first 2 movies was a cobbled together mule type car on a GTO chassis.
This car appears to be a real, production based Camaro.

Or am I crazy?

 

You're not crazy. That's a real B-pillar, which the cobbled together mule type car did not have.

 

The front end looks like it came off the Jay Leno Camaro. Those stripes look terrible. The wing and the 21" optional accessory wheels also look terrible. Who's calling the shots on the design for Bumblebee? I understand they probably want to show off the various accessories available for the car, but they don't have to make it ugly.

 

good call...

 

Besides Megan, I like the hood, front end and the rear vent that replaces the gills. The rear wing? I understand that there would be some interested in it and Chevy needs to expand their reach. I do think it can be better executed if it becomes an available option. I'm not a fan of the stripes but, I can see why, with the hood vents, that they went that way.

 

Looks like a Z/28 to me.....
