In Michael Bay's Transformers movies, Bumblebee was portrayed as a Chevy Camaro but the upcoming '80s set spinoff will see the Autobot return him to his classic bug form. Whether or not he'll remain this way for the entirety of the movie remains to be seen but it's no doubt going to lead to a very different looking Bumblebee than the one we've seen in the main franchise which is set in the present day.
Bay has made it clear he's not a fan of Bumblebee as a bug as it reminds him of Herbie Fully Loaded.
On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug. The cast also includes WWE Superstar John Cena and a variety of youngsters.
