Behind the recent Transformers spin-off, Bumblebee (2019), is a storied car that is a loveable as the character it inspired
It’s no secret that the Transformers movie franchise has gained quite a following, especially among folks who grew up watching the title’s cartoon series back in the 1980s. While many love Optimus Prime, the real star of the show is arguably, Bumblebee.
Yes, the youthful vibe of this Autobot has made him a hit. While he may be quite carefree at times, he is one serious team player when the need arises. And for this, he gets a thumb-up.
Those who grew up with the cartoon will fondly recall a Volkswagen Beetle transforming into the Autobot known as Bumblebee. Beginning in 2009, however, the film’s top brass decided to put a twist on things and “transform” Bumblebee into one of the film’s mainstay product placers—Chevrolet. More specifically, a Chevrolet Camaro. There were a couple of Camaros in that installment of the movie. The first was a classic 1955 Chevrolet SS. Then there was the upcoming fifth-generation model that appeared as a concept later on in the movie.
