Bumble Bee -the Star of the Transformer Movie Anthology
The Bumble Bee is one of the main characters in the Transformer Movie Series and is a bright yellow Camaro. Chevrolet certainly enjoys the publicity that is garnered by the Bumble Bee and Hollywood studios are known for accepting cash or product for a movie “placement”.
SEMA 2013
At the recent SEMA show, the three “stars” of the upcoming Transformers 4 movie directed by Michael Bay were showcased by Chevrolet at a standalone display. Present were a new sleek Corvette Stringray, an urban looking Sonic and the yellow Bumble Bee Camaro. They were highlighting the upcoming Transformers 4 release next summer.
The same three cars were present at Chevrolet’s Media Event. But after Monday’s event some sharp eyed spectators noted a slight change in the “shoes” the Bumble Bee was wearing. It turns out the Hollywood magic must have worn out and the painted on Goodyear logo and Eagle name were removed showing the true brand of these tires – Pirelli.
Ah, the magic of Hollywood!
