And yet, they needed a bunch of running Camaros for the film. So what they did was take molds off the 2006 concept car, strip down a bunch of Pontiac GTOs/Holden Monaros, and put freshly-cast Camaro body panels on the GTO/Monaro understructure. "Transforming" them from GTOs/Monaros to Camaros. Fun fact, and I’m sorry if all you Transformers fans already knew this:

The blades are cool, and he has two hands (as opposed to one permanently a cannon) and you can transform his right hand into a cannon, and he has the flip-down Battlemask. I love it.

The nets are also made useless thanks to him having doors. I'm hoping we get different characters from all of these Bumblebee molds.

Nifty looking, but I've already got Battle Blade 'Bee, which I enjoy very much... I'll hold out until I see the actual movie; maybe they'll release yet another new mold or improved redeco in the meantime. Worst case scenario I'll pick up this guy later and pop Blade's head on 'im.
