Transformers 5: Bumblebee returns as 2016 Camaro

2017 Bumblebee Chevrolet Camaro

True to form, Bumblebee returns to Transformer 5 as the latest Chevrolet Camaro, having started its silver screen life as a beat-up, yellow and black 1977 Camaro. Since the Camaro was redeveloped for the 2016 model year, it only makes sense that the Bumblebee character follows suit, too.

In its most powerful guise, the Camaro ZL1 is powered by a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 640 hp and 868 Nm of torque.

Those with keen sights will have spotted the exterior embellishments which set Bumblebee apart from the factory standard model; black front splitter, matte black hood finishing, black side skirts and rear wing, as well as the requisite Transformers logo on each of its flanks.

The movie franchise has been a General Motors showcase of sorts, with a Chevrolet Sonic and a Pontiac Solstice appearing at various points. Cast-wise, Mark Wahlberg returns as Cade Yeager, while Josh Duhamel reprises his role as William Lennox. Transformers: The Last Knight is set to reach theatres in June 2017.

    Why they don’t use our Proton with Campro engine? Our Proton also can transform. It can transform from an arrogant company one day to a beggar company another day begging RM1.5 billion.

    Infact, Protons are also Tranformers.

  • I believe the term you are looking for is trolling. In this case, you have to give this troll some credit for being so dedicated. Even in article totally not related to Proton, he can still think of something (no matter how stupid) to say about Proton.

    • Well, trolling can be cute like Sam Loo and his persistent hardsell for toyota. But this guy is totally negative to the core.

      This guy probably got some life issues or hes just paid really well to spew negativity left, right, and center. Whats makes it worse its hes trying to legitimise his point by using multiple dupes to agree with him but any regular readers can see hes a real sad case, really.

      All that negative pressure is gonna implode sooner rather than later.
