Chevy Cruze Transformers Bumblebee Edition: Made in China

From what we know, Chevy has no plans of introducing any other Bumblebee Edition model other than the one based on the new Camaro Coupe, but that didn't stop an avid Transformer fan in China from giving his Chevy Cruze sedan the full Autobot treatment. We're not sure if the project includes anything else other than the yellow paint finish with the twin black rally stripes and the matching details, but you can check out the modded Cruze in all its glory in the photo gallery after the jump.

Frankfurt Preview: Chevrolet Cruze Bumblebee Special

You knew it was coming: an official version of the Chevrolet Cruze Bumblebee. Set to make its first public appearance in a few weeks time at Frankfurt show, the Transformers film-inspired Cruze Bumblebee was co-developed with German tuning firm Irmscher. Even though the original Camaro-based Bumblebee features a yellow-and-black stripes treatment, Chevy's designers opted for a black paint job with bright-orange racing stripes and detailing.

Furthermore, Irmchser's tuners lowered the compact sedan's ride height by 30mm and added an orange colored rear diffuser that houses a pair of new exhaust tips. The beefy 18-inch alloy wheels finished in orange and shod in 225mm wide sport tyres complete the looks.

And while Chevy has no intention of enhancing the Cruze's range with a Bumblebee edition, Irmscher said that it will offer the package to individual customers.

2010 Camaro Transformers Bumblebee Edition Reportedly Announced by GM

The Chevy fan-boys over at Camaro5 are reporting that GM has just announced to its dealers through a live broadcast the introduction of a limited edition 2010 Camaro Bumblebee version that pays homage to the homonymous film car of the Transformers Movie series. General Motors has yet to issue an official press release, but according to the tipster, the car will be available for order from June 1 with production running from June 24 through December.

Aside from the 'bumblebee' black and yellow rally stripes, the special edition 2010 Camaro that will be offered in both LT and SS forms will get Transformers badging on the wheel centers, sill plates and embroidered on the console lid - just don't expect to see it transforming into a robot...

Chevy Reveals 2010 Camaro Transformers Special Edition Model

The San Diego Comic-Con, a comic book and popular arts convention, saw the release of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro TRANSFORMERS Special Edition model. But despite the buzz, the real-life Bumblebee is a huge letdown as the Transformers edition is virtually nothing more than a simple logo package. Forget about the Z28 bumper and hood treatment or the unique alloy wheels used on Bumblebee in the Transformers movie.

What supposedly makes this Camaro special are the Transformer and Autobot logos on the side panels, the wheel center caps, the sill plates, the center console and on the black rally stripes.

Not surprisingly, the New GM claims that the Transformers edition is as special as the movie car. "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."

If you're still interested, the Transformers kits is priced at $995 and it's offered on the LT V6 and the SS V8 Camaros in Rally Yellow with or without the RS package.
