only a Transformers nerd would notice this, but his costume is Bumblebee, but the helmet he's wearing is an Optimus Prime voice changing mask painted yellow. I'm fairly certain they make a Bumblebee mask, so it's a little off-putting... but still cool.
I'd love to see him scare the bejeebus out of some kid by just sitting there in car form and then transforming. Actually, that would probably scare the bejeebus out of anyone...
I'm in Dalian, China, and they are having their annual Dalian Auto Show (no, it's not Frankfurt or New York, but I'll take what I can get). They had a costume just like this at the show floor today, and a "Bitchin' Bumblebee Camaro" and lots of less bitchin' Bumblebee Cruzes and Aveos.
All hail the nerdgasm! I will admit I don't like any sci-f-/fantasy stuff, be it Star Wars, Star Trek, Star-something or other, Lord of Rings, Rings of the Lord etc etc.
But fcuk me if I don't like it right? I did like Matrix 1 tho. Quite a lot actually.
When I was a kid, I loved all the Herbie movies. The Love Bug, Herbie Goes Bananas, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo... I devoured them. I became obsessed with air-cooled VWs as a result of those movies, and while I've moved on to other cars since then, I still turn and look when I hear the sound of an air-cooled flat four.
Then, one day a while ago, I accidentally saw part of Herbie: Fully Loaded while channel surfing. A little part of me died that day, leaving a cynical shell of a car nut. I just hope Disney doesn't try to make a quick buck on something involving a Peugeot 504 or Toyota Landcruiser FJ40-- if they do, I'll have no childhood car memories left to hold on to.

Cute, yes, but all I could think of when he was getting squished into the floor was this.... #corvettestingrayconcept

Actually, I completely forgot the name of it until seeing it in this list. Thanks Jalopnik!
