Chevy Volt In Transformers

Motortrend is reporting that GM plans on introducing the Chevy Volt earlier then planned probably on September 16th to celebrate its centennial. As part of the plan "the car will be featured (along with other GM products) in the upcoming Transformers sequel." The move is a result of GM has seen over 30% cut in sales as their bread and butter in trucks and SUVs is no longer selling as consumers shift to more fuel efficient cars. According to Wikipedia, the Volt "is a plug-in series-hybrid electric vehicle" that was supposed to start production in 2010.

The questions for us Transfans though is the car an alt mode for a Transformers and if so what Transformer? On the first question I say probably as usually their car concepts are generally used as TF modes. Maybe we will get lucky and GM will let some information slip. Thanks to Nanobyte for the link.

  4. K. Miller here,

    I KNOW this is an Autobot (So is that AUDI R8... unless it's WAR Related or a Cop Car).

    I'd say this car is PROWL. It has that look to it where the back just drops down like Prowl when he was a Porsche 911 Coupe. I Hope THEY MAKE THIS ONE Black & White!

    Can't wait.

  5. Hmm.. I like the car, just looks so similar to Bumblebee.

    One thing I do know though, Prowl didn't transform into a Porsche. Jazz's original form was the Porsche 911. Prowl's alternate form was a Nissan Datsun 280ZX police car.

    Nonetheless, looking forward to this movie and if it were Prowl - I'd be happy, Prowl has always been my favorite.

  6. I will bet that it would be Wheeljack. Wheeljack is an engineer after all. Seems like an innovative, new, electric car would be fitting. I wonder if they are going to put the neon lights on the side of the head?
