Evidently not content with all the positive spin that the Camaro’s starring role in the Transformers movies has garnered, Chevrolet has taken the inevitable (and rather predictable) step too far by introducing the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition. Yep, you too can turn that Rally Yellow Camaro you were about to order into a fake Bumblebee with the Transformers Special Edition option package. It includes nothing more than Autobot shields on the fenders, wheel center caps, and center armrest, as well as Transformers logos on the door sill plates and embedded within the black center rally stripes.

Does that seem worth $995? It does to some people, according to Chevrolet. “When the first Transformers movie was setting box office records, we had countless customers asking to purchase the ‘Bumblebee’ Camaro,” said Karen Rafferty, product marketing director for Chevrolet. “Now, they can buy one with the new Camaro Transformers Special Edition. Streets all over North America will be buzzing in no time.” Ah, so punny.

The cheesy package is available on any Camaro LT or SS, with or without the RS appearance package, so long as it is Rally Yellow. We suggest starting with the 400-plus-hp, V-8–powered SS model if you want your “Bumble” to “rumble.” And if you’re going to get one, we suggest doing it soon, while Transformers is still getting a lot of “buzz.” (Hi Cars)

 

meh...depressingly lame. I would just as soon save myself $1000 for just a yellow car with black stripes and get the exact same recognition. The color isn't even right. If it was the same gorgeous brilliant yellow with a closer-to-concept body like in the first movie I would love it.

 

what do you expect ? they are just trying to make money.You would do the same if you were in their spot.

 

Why is eveyone always ragging on the Transformers edition, It's really kind of cool. And the Rally stripe package alone will cost 500 bucks. Just my opinion but maybe someday when a guy has the window sticker with the Transformers addition on it, it might make it worth a little more money??

 

im not a fan of the transformer badges on the car,but ive seen plent of people put transformers stickers on their cars,not just on camaros either.
