The key thing is that it should not have happened. It wasn't intended to happen.

Forget the poor dead carcass of bumble bee. Didn't anyone knotice that optimis had a trailer (1st time in the movies). Wonder what it's for? Does it change into anything cool like a heavy gun platform like the toy did or just to carry cargo?



I'll have to check the video again but wasn't there a building on the corner? If so, there was only a small space and very little time for the camaro driver to spot the cop car at the speed he was going. I'm surprised he even hit the breaks when he did.

IF anything, the production crew should have radioed the stunt drivers to tell them something was wrong on set. Since they didn't, maybe this was a publicity stunt after all or maybe someone other than the cop and stunt driver got fired over this.

Oops, just noticed, Bumble Bee is not a VW like he should be = no care.

Sorry. That's always bothered me.

At least the 458 wasnt in front and the one that got hit, its easy to replace bumblebee but the 458 wouldve been a bigger deal

it is a "closed" set so all streets are "supposed" to be blocked off so the stunt driver never expected to see a random cop car driving through the set. I don't think he was trained to avoid a cop car that wasn't suppose to drive though the set and plus the stunt driver could have thought the sirens was from the set an not an actual cop.

Plus I think the trailer is octimis's upgraded weapons like what he had received at the end of the 2nd movie.

Volkswagen didn't let them use the beatle in the film because they didn't want to be associated with violvence and distruction. true story. i like the camaro as bumblebee. plus its so much fun to make fun of when people get the 'bumblebee' camaro trim.

omg a Beetle would have been the lamest car ever for Bumblebee... I'm so glad they did not let that transpire.

Its all part of the movie. Bumble Bee crashes and you see a Jade black 370z come out of the trailer. He comes out the trailer like the spy hunter game and races ahead of optimus prime. Then you hear him say, "Night Shade reporting in." Then you hear the twin turbos sounding off and he races into battle.. And cut! That's a wrap.

I thought black 370z was Megatron and Optimis is a red GTR?

Bumblebee was a Beetle. He wasn't some badarse sports car. He was a friendly beater.

Making him a Camaro was a travesty.

GM sponsored the Autobots that's why bumble bee is a camaro

Yes, I know. That doesn't mean my childhood was any less molested by modern hollywood.

And Bumblebee is actually a GTO.
