That's an advertising deal set and done, long before VW (lacking a hollywood lobby) could do anything about it. If they put out some blurb about not being associated with war/violence, it was only to save face.

Actually, if you read the leaked script, it has nothing to do with him 'getting owned'. It has to do with the fact that Spike tells him he is a little 'out of date' and asks him if he can get with the times, so Bumblebee scans a new Camaro and changes.

He does get owned, but its not the reson for his rebuild. He gets owned after that. If you want the leaked script, PM me, I will be more than glad to Email it to you.

As for the VW thing, it is true that he is not a Bug because of VW's Anti-war ideas.

That also goes for why Jazz is not a Porsche. VW had their hands in that. So, why not make it simple since 2 of the other Autobots were GM products... just make the 2 sports cars 2 more GM products.

I will admit, M. Bay does love using GM, but VW and Porsche were attempted for the movie.

Dunno, I really doubt that VW would have any moral reservations or fears of wrong associations (check commercial below).
They simply lost the fight and tried to make the best of it. If they could have gotten the contract, they'd taken it just as fast as GM.

No, I haven't read the script and the version you describe is (thankfully) slightly less invasive of the plot than the one I suspected.
It doesn't change the fact that this will be a major Chevy commercial though.

His voice is definitely Prime, but the moving lips and the weird sound..meh

[tanjo]

Yes, those lips are terrible.

[SceleriS]

[Dethfang]

If there isn't a face plate, it isn't Optimus Prime
