The funny thing is that Bumblebee was a VW Beetle originally. Since the first Transformers movie was basically a paid ad for GM, I guess that wasn't going to fly.
Well, let's be honest here, Transformers was never anything other than a marketing vehicle. (pun intended)
If you're referring to the movies, I'll go for that.
Only the movies? In the US market, the original cartoon was also a vehicle for selling toys... so the whole franchise has always been that way.
Good point. I didn't have any, so I just didn't think about it that way.

I thought the original Transformers cartoons were only created to sell more toys. Brilliant move by someone at the time.
So the movies follow the same trend... just toys for older people?
I'd say toys for both young and old.

These are Camaros if I recall correctly. They just have paint, body work, and some tuning.

Same platform. Frames under cars went the way of the dodo in the early 70's.

If your lucky hiring a glorified escort would indeed have a fox body.
