(Enlarge photo)[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Though it looks like a Camaro, Bumblebee from the new movie Transformers is in fact an ingeniously and beautifully rebodied Pontiac GTO. If there's any justice in the world, Chevy will offer the '09 Camaro in this color. Let's call it "Bumblebee Gold." (Photo by Randy Lorentzen /Planet R) [/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]

(Enlarge photo)[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Why has GM put so much money and effort into Transformers? Because when you see that bowtie on the grille, you'll just want a Chevy that much more. (Photo by Randy Lorentzen /Planet R) [/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]

(Enlarge photo)[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Since Bumblebee's GM-built body is taken straight from the same molds used to build the Chevrolet Camaro concept shown at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, the shape is identical. (Photo by Randy Lorentzen /Planet R) [/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]

(Enlarge photo)[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]The rear view of the Bumblebee Camaro shows how radically the rear window slopes to form a near-fastback shape. It's not just a clone of the '69 Camaro. (Photo by Randy Lorentzen /Planet R) [/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]
