Transformer 2 Corvette Centennial Concept in all its glory

Our friends over at Jalopnik hit the jackpot with these new shots of the Corvette Centennial Concept that was built to play a role in next summer’s blockbuster ‘Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen’ as well as to celebrate General Motors 100-year anniversary. The futuristic Corvette concept takes several styling cues from the older Vettes including the split rear-window from the ’63 Sting Ray. GM has been awfully quite with the Corvette Centennial so we’ll have to take Jalopnik’s word that the concept does not preview in any way the forthcoming C7 Vette. -Continued

Video: 2010 Chevy Volt & Corvette Concept at Transformers 2 Movie Set

We finally managed to find the amateur video from the ‘Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen’ movie set that we told you about in our previous post. The video shows what appears to be the production version (or pretty damn close to production) of the 2010 Chevrolet Volt along with shots of the Bumblebee Chevrolet Camaro, the Chevrolet Beat, the Chevrolet Corvette Centennial Design Concept and some other Chevys during the filming of a scene for the new TransChevys, err we mean Transformers 2 movie. Watch the video after the jump. -Continued

Production Chevrolet Volt Spied at Transformers 2 Movie Set?

Could it be that the blue colored Chevrolet Volt that appeared along with a bunch of other GM cars like the Corvette Centennial Design Concept, the Chevy Beat and the ‘Bumblebee’ Camaro at a recent Transformers 2 movie set be the real deal? It sure looks like it. And if it isn’t the final production model, we gather that it must be pretty close to what we’ll see in 2010 when General Motors releases its all-electric Chevy Volt into the North American market –Europe will follow in 2011 with a rebadged Opel version (see details here). Follow the jump and check out the screen shots we took from the amateur video. -Continued

Transformers Corvette Centennial Design Concept Scooped

The mysterious Corvette concept that has been circulating around the movie sets of the Transformers film “Revenge of the Fallen” that’s expected to hit cinema screens in early 2009, has been scooped once again, this time by a reader from Jalopnik. According to Jalopnik’s inside sources, while the futuristic sports coupe is indeed a Corvette concept, it has nothing to do with the next-generation C7 Corvette. Instead, it was created to celebrate General Motors' 100-year celebration – hence the Corvette Centennial Design Concept name. -One more pic after the jump

2009 Nissan GT-R Transformers Prototype

This past weekend we reported that Japanese toy maker Takara-Tomy is preparing a new Transformers series called Alternity that will include a Nissan GT-R figure. Well, we managed to discover a set of photos from a Japanese site called Fantofan that snapped the prototype Nissan GT-R at the Takara Tomy’s 2008 Tokyo Toy Show stand. According to company sources, the Transformers’ version of the 2009 Nissan GT-R will be available in two colors, red and silver. Sales of the 1/32 scale model are excepted to begin this November. -Continued

2009 Nissan GT-R Transformers Toy

The craze surrounding the new GT-R has spread into the world of Transformers as Japanese toy maker Takara is readying a 1:32 scale robot version of Nissan’s supercar. The sketch seen in the picture above was scanned from a Japanese hobby magazine by our reader Jey and it gives us a first view of the robotized GT-R that’s expected to find its way into stores this November.

Thanks for the tip Jey!

Subie in Disguise: Subaru Impreza WRC Transformer

Now be honest; if you were a kid, wouldn’t you go crazy over a toy like Takara’s 2003 Subaru Impreza Rally Team WRC Transformer? Heck, we like it so much that we’d buy one now that we’re in an age to have kids ourselves! Released in 2003 as one of Takara’s first Binaltech Transformers figures, the Impreza WRC was used for the Autobot character Smokescreen. The 1:24 scale die-cast model looks pretty realistic as it features working doors, trunk and hood even a normal interior! –More pics after the jump

Transformers 2 Movie: New Photos of the Mystery Corvette Concept

Thanks to an anonymous tipster, our Jalopnik pals have obtained a new pair of shots of the mystery Corvette Concept that will star in next year’s Transformers film sequel, dubbed “Revenge of the Fallen”. The new photos confirm that this prototype is indeed a GM vehicle as the rear-end picture reveals the “GM Design” logo on the license plate. While we’d like to believe that this is a concept car previewing the forthcoming C7 Corvette, we’ll have to wait to see what the deal with GM’s silver prototype is. -One more picture after the jump

Transformers 2 Movie to Feature Corvette Concept?

This silver coupe that looks like some sort of a Corvette Concept was spotted by a member of the Seiberton forums at a movie set for the forthcoming Transformers 2 Film, “Rise of the Fallen”. While we can’t be entirely sure that it’s a Corvette Concept, it definitely features many characteristic Vette styling cues like the coke-bottle shape body, the sharp fenders and the split rear-window. Plus it’s no secret that GM is pretty active in the Transformer movie. Apart form the Vette, the photo set also includes modified versions of the Chevy Beat and Trax concepts that premiered at last year’s NY Auto Show. –More pics after the jump
