Transformers director Michael Bay has offered the first glimpse at how Bumblebee will look in the upcoming fifth instalment of the franchise.
Once again, the Bumblebee character is portrayed by the iconic Chevrolet Camaro, but Bay tweeted that this time his vehicle mode will be the new sixth-gen Camaro, with a few custom additions.
General Motors has customised the Camaro especially for the movie, with the Bumblebee car sporting an incredibly aggressive aerodynamics kit and a set of HRE alloy wheels.

The exact specifications of the new car have yet to be unveiled but it’s expected that Bay will continue to tweet more details and pictures as he has done with previous films.

Filming of the latest Transformers film, titled Transformers: The Last Knight, started filming late last month and the movie is due for release in 2017.
The Bumblebee character and his Camaro disguise has gone on to become one of the most iconic film vehicles of all time, with the first Transformers film helping to rejuvenate the iconic muscle car.
Whether or not everybody will approve of Bumblebee’s aggressive new design remains to be seen, but the new sixth-gen Camaro is available to buy now, albeit in limited numbers here in the UK.
