2007 Transformers the Movie: It’s all about the cars!

May 18, 2007

We are counting down to the release of the newest Transformers movie to glamorize metal and machine as humanistic soldiers of world dominance.

And while I have been a fan of these cool Hasbro toys since I was a kid, I really do not remember a whole lot about the Decepticons, Megatron, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime to be quite honest, but I doubt that will really matter as the main star of the show will be the awesome cars!

Even stars like Jon Voight, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro and Shia LeBeouf will have to take a back seat to these awesome Transformer machines.

Of one of the most talked about rivalries will be between Brawl, the Ford Mustang Police Pursuit vehicle…

…and Bumblebee, the orange Chevrolet Camaro.

The battle between the Mustang and Camaro has been around since the late 60’s and now with the new Camaro set to resurface after being away for five years, you can be sure that a few gearheads will be in the audience just to see who wins. Rumor has it that the Camaro takes the beating, but I’m not here to ruin the climax for anyone…

The most interesting part about the vehicles used, is Bumblebee has always been depicted as a Volkswagen Bug…

But when you think of the battle between a yellow Bug and batter ram welding Saleen Mustang, it is clear to see why Michael Bay chose the Saleen Camaro, not to mention the extra pennies that went into his pocket for the early glamorized advertising before the car even hits the showrooms!

All hail the Mustang and Camaro, and also don’t forget to give a hoot or two for the new movie the Whats-a-ma-callits and the battle of the who-sa-ma-trons!

  1. The mustang Saleen is not “Brawl”, it is Barricade. Brawl was a tank that became the right leg of Devistator.
