2009 Chicago Auto Show – Rise of the Transformers!

on February 13, 2009 at 11:00 pm

Four new Chevrolet-based characters are slated to appear in the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie. They include:

Sideswipe: A Corvette derived concept car
Skids & Mudflap: twin Autobots based on the Chevy Beat
Jolt: an Autobot based on the Chevy Volt

In addition, Bumblebee, the Autobot based on the Chevy Camaro Concept from the first movie will return for more high-octance action.

That’s all fine and dandy but what does that have to do with the auto show? Well, both Sideswipe and Bumblebee make special appearances at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show. In fact, a 17 feet tall, 13 feet wide fully transformed Bumblebee stands watching over the attendees making sure nothing jumps off.

In addition, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept makes a strong presence. It’s essentially an evolutionary interpretation of the 1963 Stingray.
