*potential spoilers*

Posted at aintitcoolnews.com, an image of Bumbebee led on a trailer. At least the colouring looks correct!

veeeeery interesting.

He doesn't seem to have a 'face' or hands? Looks like he has claws and a sort of binocular like pair of 'eyes' with no (comic/cartoon style) face.

Goodness knows what he turns into, looks like some sort of hover craft.

I dunno, it looks like a very Bumblebee-esque helmet.

Maybe they will use CGI for the faces.

Infact, I was under the impression that all of the robot modes would be CGI

Automated FTW-generation reply: L33t.

So... who of you guys are helping me steal that and then storing it at MV's place?

It'll be a Transfans exclusive lads.

It could be that he's actually seen from upside down lads. Please note that it would appear as if his face is pointing up to the sky, judging by his helmet-tip pointing in that direction.

This would be why you can't see his face IMHO.

Looking good.

Obviously he's a car - you can see the spoiler on the back, the engine in the chest and the car wheels too.

I think the face will be CGI, most likely. His arms and legs are too skinny, clawlike and RIDCarbrothers-like, though, so I'm starting to worry that the (in)famous Starscream sketch might be true...

I also miss his trademark head-horns... But all in all, this looks great. Most likely they'll use it for some scenes where the Bot doesn't move.

EDIT: Look close, on the right you can see his hand on the ground below the platform he's resting on. He has fingers, the way I see, and a typical 5-fingered hand.

If it's any consolation, I hadn't seen that before either.

If he transformed that slow he would be burnt out toaster ovens in no time...

Hmm I want to see the BB pic!

That video of Ultra Magnus is pretty nice.
I've never seen it before either.

For those of you who are worried about bumblebee looking like a Go-Bot:

"Michael Bay said 'That is our non shootable - just scale reference - totally undetailed robot. It's like shooting a plastic toy compaired to the total c-g model from ILM.'"
