Chevrolet just unveiled the car stars of the next Transformers movie, and purists maybe in for a bit of a shock. That familiar Bumblebee, the Chevy Camaro that transforms into the lead character, has gone from lemon yellow to orange orange. It was displayed here at the SEMA aftermarket auto parts trade expo, along with the 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray from the movie and a newcomer to the film franchise, the Sonic RS rally car.
Change is in the air. The next Camaro is the 2014, customized for an even squintier look on the front end and with its own fancy LED rectangular taillights in back. So it only makes sense that Chevrolet would want to tinker with the hue a bit, making it somewhat edgier.

Joining the cast is a menacing green Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the current star of the Chevy stable, with black graphics and a giant rear wing that looks borrowed from an F1 racer.
And "introducing," as they say in movie credits, a new starlet, a Chevy Sonic RS rally car in black! , white a! nd purple and looking as scruffy and dirty as any good rally car should..
As movie placements go, General Motors involvement in the Transformers series has been one of Hollywood's notable big successes.
The newest film -- Transformers 4: Age of Extinction -- has just finished shooting and is due out in June as a summer popcorn movie. And there will be more transforming vehicles than the Chevies.
While the series tilts toward the juvenile, it has had no shortage of fans of all ages -- all apparently lured by the thought of cars and trucks that transform into personable alien robots and back again.
