Transformers save the world, you know. Maybe GM thinks they can save its business, too.
Press release:
On Wednesday, February 11, 2009 Chevrolet and Paramount Pictures are proud to announce the return of BUMBLEBEE ™ to the Chicago Auto Show, in anticipation of the upcoming movie, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." BUMBLEBEE ™ , the heroic AUTOBOT ® based on the Chevrolet Camaro concept, will appear for the first time in public with other new Chevrolet "characters" from the film at a press conference scheduled to begin at 10:15 am CST in the Chevrolet exhibit at McCormick Place.
So will they show the vette centennial concept too? Has that thing been shown at any show so far? thats the only one I'd be interested in since the others are nothing new.
I've seen a couple other photos of the centennial concept, but I'm not sure if they were leaks or releases or what.. But I like the front end of the car
More importantly, if they are doing this cash flow problems might be less of a problem then they were a couple of months ago ie. the pull back from the LA autoshow.
At the Columbus autoshow last year they had the actual car from the movie.
I liked the first movie, sure the plot was silly but it's Transformers, I still really enjoyed the movie.

Indeed, that car is pretty much the automotive equivalent of having angry sex with Angelina Jolie while duck-hunting with rocket-launchers alongside Satan himself.

Showing movie props at the Chicago Autoshow seems like a good idea. Paramount Studios is probably co-funding the Transformers display at the show, so GM gets some very sexy and flashy exposure without have to pay for most (or any) of it. This also allows GM the luxury of not having to build costly new concept or production cars to reveal at Chicago, while still maintaining a presence at the show. I bet you won't be able to get near the booth for days.
