This weeks" Throwback Thursday video features a commercial for the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Edition. The Camaro has been showcased in a long list of movies and television shows over the past 50 years, but the most significant modern role and the most significant role for the 5th gen Camaro was serving as Bumblebee in the new Transformers series.This commercial starts off looking like a campy, low quality local Chevrolet commercial. It even features an old guy in a cheap suit yelling about discount prices with a black and yellow Camaro in the shot. After the old guy catches a football, a random mascot with a fake hammer runs in from the side and begins to pound on the hood simulating the theme of smashing prices.Unfortunately for the mascot, this isn"t just any yellow and black Camaro this is Bumblebee from Transformers. Upon being hit with the hammer, Bumblebee transforms from the muscle car to a huge robot, grabbing the mascot and throwing him through the front of the dealership.If you follow the Transformers series, Bumblebee would never do this, as he is part of the human-friendly Autobots, but this commercial is intended to be funny and a giant robot which transformed from a Camaro SS only to fling away an annoying sports mascot is kind of funny. More importantly, it showcased the 2011 Transformers Edition Camaro, which proved to be a popular option for those Chevy fans who like bright yellow cars.After Bumblebee tosses the mascot aside, he transforms back into the Camaro, doing a smokey burnout and a quick donut before racing towards the camera at the end of the video.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
