Why the frack does bumblebee look like a Camaro in the movie?

Question

I am 34 years old, I grew up watching the cartoons and I loved bumblebee, and with the new VW yellow bettle's, that would have been perfect! so why does that moron Michael Bay change him into a camaro? what the frack? Also the film shows wayyyyy to much CGI. Optimus Prime looks different too, their faces look too fluid, almost like live-moving metal. something like you see in T2. perhaps they are trying to be cool or what? I just want to know what right do these guys have to change the original desings!

Answer 1

They maybe want him to have more sex appeal and more stronger role, the same goes for Spike.

Kind of odd, since both these characters are meant to be SMALL child-like characters who gives their team BIG support, kinda like little kids supporting their older big brothers. Bumble Bee and Spike look at Optimus Prime like a big brother.

Will the new Bumble Bee or what ever his name plus Spike be more like Cheetor in Beast Wars?



Yes, the movie is too CG-ish looking. But a Transformers movie bound to need a lot CG (transformation, moving transformers, etc), and with limited production time, it's better to achieve an artistic look than realism.



The Transformers' looks like they are in the live action movie to fit in with their recent toy incarnations and toys based on the movie.



The movie seem to contain features from other movies, the Terminator movies are just a few.

chevy talked them into it to showcase the new camaro when they bring it back out..
