General Motors chooses Comic Con to unveil a special edition Transformers Camaro

Yo Bee, what’s up?

Fans of the movie Transformers (and possibly the toys as well) will now be able to get their hands on their very own Autobot wannabe as Chevrolet announced today that, beginning immediately, customers will be able to order a Bumblebee edition 2010 Chevrolet Camaro from their local Chevy dealer.

“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, Chevrolet. “Now, they can buy one with the new Camaro TRANSFORMERS Special Edition. Streets all over North America will be buzzing in no time.”
