- 15 years ago
Chevrolet-Based Characters Stars of New Transformers Sequel "Revenge of the Fallen" This year's Chicago Auto Show is rolling out the red carpet for the industry's biggest stars. The larger-than-life robots from the upcoming film "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", are making their debut at the show before hitting the big screen. Bumblebee, the heroic Camaro from the first "Transformers" movie, will be on public display in his Autobot form standing at 17 feet tall and 13 feet wide. Revamped, the yellow car will sport new wheels and SS-model performance cues just like the real 2010 production model. Joining Bumblebee are four all-new Chevrolet-based Autobots. The group of newcomers includes Sideswipe, a Stingray concept vehicle with a futuristic style; Skids and Mudflap, small twin cars that pack a powerful punch; and Jolt, an Autobot based on the 2011 electric Volt. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is set to open in the US on June 26. Produced for General Motors
